this is by far the toughest NFS....

i cant get gold in many races..

and that last race???.. its the toughest because the damage takes over after u crash like 3 4 times.

but overall i really like the gameplay.

its more like shift. but to be honest. It is alot better.

But i wouldve loved something like GRID.. you had to do alot more in Grid.. like BRAKE.. actually BRAKE before a turn..

but i guess the MW and Carbon fans are happy. they got what they wanted.

GRiD is an unabashed sim (in the F1 scheme). NFS: Shift is the closest thing to a sim among the NFS titles; however, Shift is *not* a sim.

True; with GRiD you definitely have to actually use the brakes; however, that makes drifting around corners close to requiring sorcery to do (as opposed to being able to almost steer-with-the-gas around turns, which *is* actually used in ALMS and SCCA racing, not to mention test-track runs; where do you think the term *torque steer* comes from?) However, Shift, HP2010, Burnout Paradise (and even Split/Second and BLUR, come to think of it) all support the torque-steer method (which is indeed popular, and is a requirement in drift racing); however, you don't see F1 and IndyCar (or NASCAR for that matter) drivers doing the drift (aka the four-wheel cha-cha-cha) in their respective series.

Also, an unabashed sim generally *requires* a racing wheel (and most have what I suspect are deliberately awful keyboard mappings; GRiD in particular is the worst offender to date). Further, for that same reason, sims don't do portables (such as the current crop of gaming-ready notebooks).

While Shift and HP2010 require a pretty hefty (in the GPU department) notebook or laptop, because you can actually use the keyboard, you won't make a donkey out of yourself playing on one.

Yes; I agree that the MW and Carbon fans will be happy; however, fans of NFS: Shift should be pretty stoked, too.

nice game :D

handling = NFS MW with little less grip

or orig HP + loose grip

nice performance on a 2007 laptop with m8600gs & c2d @2Ghz :D

btw, drifting isnt that much fun, game does the counter steer, while it should have been left for us to do the counter steer :crazy:

should have added BMW M5 in car list :(

The Veyron during the rain storm race was the most impressive, It was awesome drifting at 200mph around a sharp corner. But the game is tuff. But I beat Racer career with all gold. Working on Cop career now.

how did u beat all the time trials?

its really tough for me :(

anyhow

there is a big problem with the game.

when an opponent crashes during a race and u pass him by, he will regenerate behind you and will speed up almost instantly and catch you. This is unfair. If he crashes he should get the same 3 second delay we get.

restarting a race is as same as loading from menu-to-race :crazy:

but exiting a race doesnt even take 2 seconds :p

dont like the TANK like AI cars.

Pagani, McLaren & RS3 race are very difficult in Xbox 360 controller, but my friend (teracore) completed them with Keyboard :o

gonna try keyboard for it

I don't know why people are complaining that it runs crappy, it runs perfectly fine (I even have my i7 860 to stock speed, no turbo at the moment)

The one thing I hate about this game is handling, especially when you make turns. Every corner, you are practically forced to drift, it's ridiculous. Other than that, it seems decent for the 30 mins I have played so far.

I also can't wait for Shift 2! Loved the first one.

You just gotta keep your speed to atleast 70% from your max speed. Take the good shortcuts and drift well. I can screenshot my status if anybody wants, or just add me.

I noticed about this game it stresses the GPU to 95% in my laptop. So I was getting crappy FPS when it was overheating. So that could be causing it for other people. (I had to undervolt it, it's a GTX 260M btw.)

There is a thread on EA's official forum that's getting on for 20 pages about how the PC version of the game crashes at car selection/start of the first race screen if you have a Core2Quad CPU: http://forum.needforspeed.com/eaforum/posts/list/3831248.page

Unfortunately, I have also been affected by problem, so I thought it's worth sharing it here :cry:

and there's another reason for me to skip the game, stupid crappy console ports...

No AA

Crappy performance

waiting for a patch or something !

rest is so awesome :DDD

Performance is not crappy. I went over that, AA can be forced via tools like Nvidia Inspector.

I have the same CPU and it crashes.

Odd, it never crashed for me.

What I am getting is a lot of texture flickering/ghosting. I'll be racing down the road and all of a sudden, a bunch of trees and bushes will be flickering all over the road. Anyone else getting that?
