The canyon stages really made this game for me. While the career mode was unusually short, it can be argued there's a lot of play left when you start going after offline challenge series and rewards cars that might demand a second run through career mode. I don't know how eager I'd be to do a second...

With the Corolla situation resolved by EA, I guess offering it as PULC is their way of fixing certain issues, I decided to try a few runs with the Corolla on a few random canyon courses. (My take is that the Porsche RS was a screw up on their part. Probably the same with a few parts. The Corolla, G3...

1987 Toyota Corolla GTS isnt it supposed to be 86? its called AE86 afterall :> if it really is from 87, it would be the FWD AE92 model O.o I don't think the AE92 was in production until 1988. And NFS is very specific when referring to the GT-S model, since there had been a different, FF style Corol...

Erm, where exactly is he lying? Well, he did say that there was going to be another patch regarding unlocking the 'accidently' locked cars but now he claims he doesn't know a thing. Wasn't he making false claims? The post I read stated only that he was looking into resolving the 911 RS issue, since...

Tried a couple runs on Lofty Heights with a Lan Evo, using NOS this time. Plenty of room for improvement, but then I saw a time that beat me out for the day. I figure the time is quite feasible for the Lan Evo, but that high speed caught my attention. Can you even hit 300 mph on that course with a L...

Not sure if you guys know this, but there's an arcade game for Initial D here in Singapore.

Too bad because I was still very much into IDA...

Here's one thing you might want to try - run the Dump Truck on a Tier 1 Pursuit Knockout. I had an absolute hoot doing this today. Since the dumpy is quite fast for Tier 1, with a wide open track like Kemption or Siilverton, you can pretty much guarantee a win. What's more, you can tun the tables a...

I pretty much ran as slow as I've ever raced online. So I basically worked on seeing how well I can tail people, staying as close as possible without overtaking, in unranked races on canyon courses.

Had a firetruck vs. firetruck sprint going, but then got disconnected. Too bad.

OXP Level 44 unlocks Tartan Bonus Vinyl. While named "Bonus", it's under "Online" in the Vinyls section.

Magic firetruck? All I know of is the giant metal ball. Well, I've unlocked the firetruck. So I have an idea of what kind of speed it has. I once ran across someone using a firetruck that accelerated off the line faster than an Audi. Somehow, his was magical. =) The guy ran a freakishly fast time w...

i agree with proper tuning, but: the number 1 (of a circuit) and me were racing the Audi, which you can't tune :wink: All those things do make a difference. And NFS is one of those games where you can have an okay driver beat a better driver just by car and tuning choices. But a significant factor ...

OXP Level 43 has no reward. I've been finding it tough to motivate myself to play much online knowing that the Corolla doesn't get unlocked through OXP levels. Though seeing new ways people come up with to cheat does keep it interesting. I.E. the uber fast helicopter, glitches that automatically giv...

So I ran across a player online, at first he wasn't winning all the races. Someone that runs some pretty highly ranked times was getting first on speedtraps and a few sprints. But this guy would constantly come in second. During the race, that person would always be dead last. Speed stats would stay...
