nice but It seems they are not "official" (probably someones stolen it lol)

What do you think about gained cars at nfs1? I hope they won't be at nfsu2, their performance sucks (I mean Rob Zombie's car, Melissa's car etc) These cars disturb the game in my opinion

... and why exactly is it, that they "disturb" the game? What's the matter with these cars? - or with you? Nobody said you ever had to USE those cars, or even look at them, in fact they are practically hid away from you, and unless you go searching for them, you won't stumble upon them ... so what's the problem? Don't like them? Don't use them! I don't like them either, both for their looks and for their performance, but I know from experience they can be pretty handy nonetheless. I was racing a guy the other day, and I massacrated him. He accused me of being a cheater ( which I'm not - like I need to cheat to win .. pff ) And I told him: "You know what? if you think the problem is my car, let's race on eve terms .. " A challenge which he took up. We met again 2 minutes later both in the same premade car, and I twarted him again. This time he had little to complain, as it was obvious he sucked ... So they do earn up a purpose at times ;)

There is NO PROBLEM WITH ME, guy. Be friends, ok? :)

I mean these cars are rarely used and cant be upgraded, so I suggested to clean up it from nfsu2. I love simple things, and dont like to search between 400 cars until find my underground car.

well whats the point of game then?
race 5 cars that will bore you in 1-2 weeks?
If they have 30 cars in NFSU2 its good since there much more to choose from.

I was talking about pre-edited cars sucah as Melissa's car, Rob Zombie's... which are beautiful but you are not able to upgrade so people rarely play with them. Forgot it...

Im happy to have 30 cars to choose, and hope the city will be really 3 times the size of nfsu1 city. If it is included Seat Leon, I would play hundreds of hours... lol

yeh those pre-edited cars r crap

BUT they can be used for racers where everyone is at the same level of performance (as summ sed) i thihnk that is the general reason y EA included these cars......

how many cars was ther in NFSU 1 12 was it????
anyways i wanted more cars!!!!!!!!!!
30 cars r no wway enough. I`ve used all the cars but only prefer half of them.......

PC version needs REPLAY argg. Muscle cars will be needed.
Has anyone here played Midnight Club 2 (im sure u have) anyone think this one will be similar format to NFSU (i dont mean car models and stuff, im talkin bout city layout and race initiators)

That should do me for now i have many other things id liek to say about up coming game but otherwise this will become an essay or a THESIS!!!!!

about the premade cars... I like the fact that you can drive Melissa's, Eddy's and Samantha's car, but IMO they should have made them full lvl3 (with or without uniques doesn't matter now) and the arist cars well Artist vinyls would be better I guess...

and the 30 cars would be way better then 20.... but 40 would be better then 30 and so on

I think you win those cars during your game progress, and when you are at race 20 or whatever, winning a level 3 upgraded car didn't make sense to EA to add it. So they are all underpowered, and bottom line - if you like them that much and you play on PC you can just install those vinyls on your level 3 cars ;) using bintex.

One more thing about pre-made cars, they are earned ilogically.
Example: You win Melissa's car about race 70 (or 80, it is the same thing) before race vs her. At my opinion, it must be earned at last race when you have won her.

It happens the same thing with Eddie's skyline, Samantha (and TJ version of Samantha's lol) and many more. You have these cars before race vs them...

I hope in nfsu2 this "problems" will be fixed. And one thing more (now im talking about Melisa's car). The target of last race is to create a final surprise to the player (when you look the final video and see Melissa) : <<The driver of the diabloic 350z is a girl! She is Melissa! wow!>> But there is no surprise when, while you are driving, look at opponent names and see "Melissa"... do you understand me??? Little things that must be fixed in nfsu2

I understand, Dani. But then what will the name be on the name place? 350Z?? So I go with that a little. Beause EA didn't think that a name like "unknown" would be cool. Thats just stupidity on calling someone unknown... So I go more with myself. :)

I agree with Dani about the pre-made cars. Get them after you win the reces.

:!: An other idea :!:

How about they put - just for kicks - an SUV or pickup in the game that you can tune?

seen some sweet rides - these com from http://www.jadatoys.com --> dub.city

*chokes on his sweet tea*

Those things are fugly to the core! Sure...put them in NFSU2...and I'll eat them alive in a Miata (if it's still in the game).

But what I would like to see changed is the very lame "UNDRGRND" license plate. If I'm a badarse streetracer I'd like to have a customized licenseplat as much as my car is customized. :p "PWND" would fit nicely...

Shark - it's ok if those cars make it to the game as TRAFFIC. After all, the setting of NFSU2 city is LA, so filling it with dubs will be ok!

Your username should show up in the plate, like in NFS:PU. You could just start a profile with the same name as the plate you want.

I also quite like the dyno chart for the performance screen, and it looks like parts are actually money-based this time. Good. Good.

yo man!!! i dont think there gonna put your screenshot cause i did that last week and its still not in the screens section.

and pre-made cars arent that bad. its kinda cheesy that you cant customize them but it would be better if they use like special cars. imagine driving in the bat mobile and cruising in James Bond's Aston Martin in NFSU2. i would think that would be cool.

it would be also cool to change the type of the car. In NFSU2 they should make you be able to change a civic from sedan to coupe. :D

No crazy batmobile's or bond cars that has nothing to do with tuning. I hope they put in a couple american muscle cars that would be cool!!!

What about tune a Lorry? lol
It would be great as a mini-game inside nfsu2. Or an extra car in order to laugh. It would be funny. Or a "tractor" (we call "tractor" in Spanish to an agricultorl vehicle, like Jhon Deere and this.A vehicle to cultives in the country... I dont know how to say in English, and im too lazy to take the dictionary lol)
