This game is so unbelievably buggy.

What, you expected a bug-free game from EA? Too optimistic buddy...

Not as bad as their attempts at Cricket games.

Although most won't care about the Cricket

DarrenR21373 · Post by **DarrenR21373** » 14 Mar 2006, 23:40

Yup, I agree with BassDragster.

I'm a bit of a Cricket nut and I've just started playing EA Cricket 2005. I haven't played a Test Match yet, but I read somewhere that you can't save during Test Matches! For those who know nothing about Cricket, Test Matches are played over 5 days and 4 innings - which means if you can't save the game, you can't switch off the PC until you complete the match one way or the other! You also can't even change (as far as I can see!) the on-screen display from KMH to MPH, which is a bit of an oversight since the game was invented in England, where we are old fashioned enough (until that w*nker Neil Kinnock gets his way!) to still use MPH; nor can you remap the controllers; and even on EASY difficulty, I still find the game almost impossible.

Imagine if MW was this unforgiving: you'd have to complete the career in one sitting or lose your progress; you'd be stuck with EA's randomly selected key settings; and the AI would be even worse.

I've done this a few times, but it doesn't work everytime (maybe 20%). If you see a rodadblock on your radar, hit 'tab' to bring up you SMS messages. Then exit out of the SMS and the roadblock should be gone. Also, does anyone else think that shadows look better on low quality? Plus, if you leave shadows on low quality, it'll spare lots of processing power.

I hate the SUVs, they are always try to hit me in the front

Nah can't save on the XBOX version iirc.
Certainly can on the PC though

Decent game, get a patch from PlanetCricket though.

Need one more milestone to be able to compete with Jewels. Put some HP tyres on my Supra which makes handling better still dangles like a drunken fish.

I'm currently using the Supra for career as well, and I freaking love it. It's easy to control the sliding so you can fly through the turns in style. And it's so freaking heavy, it's freaking unstoppable! I busted through a roadblock yesterday with one SUV behind another, just plowed right through them like it was nothing.

I started a new career a whille ago and im using the imprezza as my car for everything accept the blacklist races (i do them in the SL500) and the imprezza is alot better than i thought it would be, and ive got it looking way better than i thought i could.

ya, i was in heat level 3 for 30 mins in vics supra, but i think its unrealistic how light suvs are lighter that the gtos in roadblocks.

BassDragster · Post by **BassDragster** » 16 Mar 2006, 17:22

I'm terrible with the SUVs, just go straight into them

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 16 Mar 2006, 17:24

Even when they come head-on at you, you're almost guaranteed to immobilize at least one in my Supra.

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 16 Mar 2006, 22:56

same here, exept i dont have it because my memory card corrupted.

Well, well, well....thank goodness for Russians to shine some light...

:

"GigaByte from Russia piped up in our discussion board and according to him he is working on a Need for Speed Most Wanted Music Importer, which should make is possible to import your own music into the game.

But due to time constraints the development of this tool - in case the realization is possible - will last approximately 6 weeks. According to GigaByte the program is already 30 % finished."

If this comes out and works, we can forget about EA's crappy soundtrack and finally be able to play our own music directly (obviously, much better than running WMP10 in the background and less resource consuming).

I had to sell my MW

but the main thing is im buying another one next week.

weedman173 · Post by **weedman173** » 24 Mar 2006, 05:03

Why would you sell your game only to get another one?

Fadeproof · Post by **Fadeproof** » 24 Mar 2006, 05:09

i had the xbox version and it doesnt work on the xbox 360 so i had no use for it. so i sold it and im going to buy the 360 version next week.

Strafer · Post by **Strafer** » 24 Mar 2006, 23:37

I finally beat Most Wanted.

Me so happy!

Just now? :/

DarrenR21373 · Post by **DarrenR21373** » 25 Mar 2006, 01:23

Gees, Strafer - I've completed career at least 10 times since I've had MW.

I guess you were taking your time and enjoying it?!

Strafer · Post by **Strafer** » 25 Mar 2006, 11:07

I had some minor problems with the AI, but then when i put my mind to it, i beat them all
