Calendar is boring because it's sometimes the same racers, same tracks and same class in just 1 day, that's so infinite and repetitive that...you just only exit and then unistall...

So i my feeling was right

anyway if we write a wishlist for carbon they'll be sure to read it! so one of us should make a wishlist for NFS C topic!

You must be high or out of your mind. That was done on all forums about 6 MONTHS AGO! Now it's just a matter of time when it'll be released and there's no common sence!

Finally agree with you, EA just "take a look" and that's all....

It's already mid-September. Don't you think that it's too late for them to implement new things right now?

On a wild guess, they're having their beta testers on full schedule (and we know what EA does to its employees when it feels like) so that they can track down any more or less obvious, so that they can have the game in gold by mid-October.

Regarding teammates:
I don't see why people have taken the teammates approach so badly and worriedly. I've said it once, and I'll say it again. NFS Carbon's implementation of a team is NOTHING like Juiced. All your teammates did in Juiced is run some races for you, and most of the time they sucked at it. Carbon offers you the chance to have teammates that can give you a little help on the race, or expand the selection of performance parts that you have access to, for example, like a friend that has connections to a store that gets the latest parts straight from abroad, and can get you a good price on them.

I really believe (see: hope) that this will add up to the whole NFS experience, not ruin it like Juiced it.

The Monaro is way better then the present GTO i think. The GTO didnt even sell well and Pontiac considered it a faliure. Thats y its not in production anymore.

If there gonna have the GTO anyway i hope its the older one.

Ya, well, I thought so, but again, you can go solo after all, you don't need teammates, but you will most likely use a mechanic or stuff like that, but there will be also teammates that can race instead of you

Is that confirmed? Because if it is, I must have missed it. There's nothing about anything like that in the NFSC FAQ.

I wonder if you can gain more cash if you have teammates, because having to buy a vehicle for every member in your crew would be expensive!

Or maybe they start with their own vehicles.

Just a theory.

Leftos · Post by **Leftos** » 09 Sep 2006, 23:49

My blocker can have any car he wants, as long as it's heavy as hell... Although yes, my drafter would have to have a quite good car if he's going to help me gain speed.

We'll see how it's implemented. Soon. 52 days left.

From what I saw in the demo, your crew drives the same car as you do. While this does make managing the whole crew aspect easier, I sure hope this was a demo-only thing.

Amen to that

+1 to that. Unless we're Vin Diesel's crew from the first FnF, trying to rob some trucks or something using our four pitch-black, green-neon Civic's.

Yummy.

...

Wait.

We're talking about Carbon.

What the hell was I thinking?

!N$4N3 · Post by **!N$4N3** » 10 Sep 2006, 01:10

Leftos, of course your team races now and then, it isn't just the point of having advantages in having teammates, but a friend racer on your side!

Leftos · Post by **Leftos** » 10 Sep 2006, 01:39

I'll be glad to see that, I was just asking if any member of the Carbon dev team announced anything like that, because what we've seen so far is a Blocker, a Drafter and a Guy-who-gives-tips, as far as the in-race role of the team goes.

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 10 Sep 2006, 01:57

Actually, the abilities of the crew on and off track have already been confirmed.

On track:
Blocker
Drafter
Scout

Off track:
Mechanic
Fabricator
Communicator

You can only take one crew member with you into point-to-point and circuit career races.

!N$4N3 · Post by **!N$4N3** » 10 Sep 2006, 02:25

Yeah, but who's the guy who has a powerful dad in the police that can help you out of jail. Isn't he supposed to be a part of the team?

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 10 Sep 2006, 02:38

The Communicator can have that skill. Remember, you will be able to choose from various crew members that possess certain abilities. You may have a fabricator on your team who specializes in spoilers or a fabricator who specializes in bumpers. You may have a mechanic who specializes in engine enhancement or a mechanic who specializes in transmission modification. In the same manner, you may have a communicator who's got a powerful influence on the police or a communicator who has powerful influence over another group in the world of Carbon.

I thought they called them "Fixers"?

I wonder if Carbon is going to be sexist and only have male team members...

What do you mean exactly ?, cause this sounds a little gay.

Whatever. The concept is the same, except that Fixers have the additional abiity of fixing races for you. So I'm assuming you'll start off with a Fixer.

@ Skyline_Man: How is that gay... if anything that would make me straight... I'm just saying it would be dumb if there were only men as crew members, because that's sexist.
