Yeah i read that, it seems like a pretty cool idea, although one day 2 friends might not be friends anymore after a 2 player pink slip race

could be cool though. Imagine you invite a couple of okes over, and they scheme that no one can beat them. You beat them and got their car. And you have proof.

Also maybe having a race tracker, which i 'think' NFSC will have, which you can track how many race's you and your friends have competed against each other.

Yeah true thats a good point, nothing is more godly than proof these days.
Hmmm race tracker is a good one too, but wouldn't they have had it in previous games like U2 and all. I never played againts my friends but i played online so not sure.

neva did. pro evolution soccer 5 style.

when NFSU came came out i thought we were going to modify Ferrari's. since NFS4 i think, we havn't seen one. will Gran turismo get the licence to have ferrari's now that NFS dont use them?

We have discussed the fact that no ferrari's make no appearance in NFSC, but no-one has a definite answer why. Forza motorsport has a licence to use ferrari as does test drive (correct me if im wrong)

You find them shiznit, but you're going to play Carbon anyway.

NFS C: Paying for Cheats?

Electronic Arts didn't make much friends, when offering bonus features for those who buy Need for Speed Carbon at EA Downloader, since those who buy the game "regularly" will be disadvantaged.
Today the german onlinemagazine Winfuture reports, that you even have to pay for cheats in EA's latest title 'Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007'.

With the release of the game 'Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007' for the Xbox 360 EA claims fees for unlocking cheats. So you can unlock better players and new courses, when you play with game points, you bought first with your credit card.

It will be difficult for Electronic Arts to explain its customers this new policy, since cheats have always been free. The higher production costs of games of the new generation can hardly be an excuse for the payment for cheats.

Time will show which way Electronic Arts will go with Need for Speed Carbon, but the try to make profit with cheats won't really work...

Source: ww.nfs-planet.de

Let's make this clear, if EA offers downloadable content, I'm NOT paying for it. How is it that a smaller company such as Atari is able to offer free downloadable content, while a big ass company EA wants to charge for extra content? Don't they have enough freaking money? First in-game ads with adware (read Battlefield 2142 news) and now paying for extra content?

I think we still have to wait a small week for that lol. Well, the original purpose of a demo is to give people a glimpse of the gameplay and give them reasons to buy the game.

The bigger they are , the more money they want , lol ,but that's EA !!!! anyway, do u guys think we can modify the Camaro Concept, Zonda and the Audi ? coz they're in the bonus or custom section , not in "stock" section

Nice video furio. Showed some much about drafters and blockers, cool idea I must say! Especially to win in the last meters thanks to a good drafter lol.

The MAIN purpose of that post was for the new cars/pictures.

Danyutz · Post by **Danyutz** » 18 Oct 2006, 19:30

i`ve checked the list again, there are only 40 cars or the link, 41, only that the Murciealago is double posted .. sure is the off car list?

EDIT: mostly no, I`ve read the posts that those doods were doing there, apparently they are waiting for a carlist part 3 aswell.

Read the EDIT:

EDIT: Nevermind, it is not the complete list but it still features cars which have not been seen before.

Well, now I edited the post so people would not be "confused". I clearly stated after that in an EDIT that the list is not full...but I guess reading is hard. I don't know, I'm just assuming...

Thank you 2furio, we are posting at the same time, but I've figure it out. Thank you anyway
