Man..Trunk Neon..aint there yet, but there is so much tight stuff to unlock...this is definitely the beefier version of Underground..so much to do...almost like a sim game...For once, EA being a Sellout pays off...lets just hope the next one will be a European Car game..of course that was what thisgame was theoried to be.NFS 8.

Maby a combo? the supercars (Wich AGREE with cops) in bayside?

If it is a combo then... i hope it would be called something else than Underground, cos the whole theme of underground is import cars and close to that...

da wizz21 · Post by **da wizz21** » 25 Nov 2004, 01:48

how about both with the success of underground why not have a spin off and have 2 games one like nfs 4 and one like underground maybe call it Tuner.

anfrey · Post by **anfrey** » 25 Nov 2004, 08:57

maybe have differnet releases that will all play with each other or add on to one another..

"nfs supercars"
"nfs sport compacts"
"nfs sports cars"
"nfs suv"
"nfs roadsters"
"nfs gt cars"

they'd make a killing.... and we'd all be late on our bills

yeah that way it could b good for people who like say muscle cars and dont want any jap cars with the game!
EA are u listenin!!!!!!

DarKie_Racer · Post by **DarKie_Racer** » 25 Nov 2004, 14:02

And what if i like "sports cars" and "super cars" would i buy'em both! and who knows how much would it cost!

jobo9 · Post by **jobo9** » 25 Nov 2004, 14:05

jup great idea, but I think they shouldnt let go of the tuner thing...
It's really hot at the moment!

but when u have different versions u can do real fun stuf!
Like racing eachother on different versions 2 see if ur tricked out skyline matches the finetuned F50

that is exactly what i mean.. different editions of each game... with each edition having around 50 cars.

great ideas... something like the sims(not the gameplay

)
one game with like 10 ekspansion pack or something

Juvenile_Kaos · Post by **Juvenile_Kaos** » 27 Nov 2004, 05:35

Well i would buy it! Thats a great idea.. ARE U LISTENIN EA GAMES!!!

How many games could there be! We should have like a list of how many diff expansions there could b for NFSU!!

Im not really sure so every tell me wat u think!!!!

anfrey · Post by **anfrey** » 27 Nov 2004, 13:10

i'm glad u guys like the idea

sure it's gonna cost us some money, but it's a great way to keep the NFSU franchise alive, especially if they incorporate and expand on the physics engine from porsche unlimited.

nfsu: sport compacts (from all countries)
nfsu: american muscle
nfsu: hot rods (a la motor city online)
nfsu: japanese sports cars (supras, BNRs, etc.)
nfsu: european sports cars (aston-martins, ///M5s, etc.)
nfsu: sport utility vehicles (yes yes, i know. . .)
nfsu: supercars & exotics (mclaren, bugatti, pagani, etc.)

,.... can anyone think of more?

flatblacksleeper · Post by **flatblacksleeper** » 28 Nov 2004, 00:52

wow
I would liek to meet the desing team who hates the supra and kick them in the balls, how is it possible for me to get perfect shifts with t he supra and blow the engine (no tuning) yet with the celica on the same track perfect shifts no tuning it does not blow its enging

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 28 Nov 2004, 02:40

LOL, do you know anything about cars? It only blows when it overrevs..

flatblacksleeper · Post by **flatblacksleeper** » 28 Nov 2004, 06:17

Yes that is a obvious answer, but when the celica does not blow but the supra does, or the 240 or most cars.....Now lets think this is a Supra, 1993-1998, it should still be the 2JZ-GTE (even though in the game its not a TT, its has the 6 spedd),which is a nearly indestructible engine

, my point is, is the other cars dont and a supra does its bull, just like how the supra does not handle, its a conspicarsy i tell you, a conspiracy

anfrey · Post by **anfrey** » 28 Nov 2004, 16:27

well, how many psi are you running on the stock engine? lol... not trying to be antagonistic, but maybe u might need to adjust you gearing. ..

Yeah, and then? The Supra's engine is not indestructible. You are confusing reality with something that's on your computer. + I could easily blow up a Supra's engine.

flatblacksleeper · Post by **flatblacksleeper** » 29 Nov 2004, 02:04

You are going to tell me that the 2JZ-GTE is not one of the most spectacular engins you have seen.......the fact that you can get the car somewhere near 650 horses on STOCK INTERNALS is not spectacular. The fact that people run a lot of PSI throught it, i once heard someone ran 50 psi thorught it (not sure if true). The 2JZ-GTe is favorite engine ever, and it is way better than a f-ing miatia, yet the miata does not blow (in the game). And Anyone can blow any engine. you can bump the psi to exreme amounts and get detonation, you can use NOS and blow the head among other things. Yes we know reality, but in NFSU 2 the game should be a bit more realistic with engines, that is what i was saying.

Edit: If i was confusing computer with real life, i would say that a dodge neon could take a Skyline simply enough, and that every part fits on evrey car...... and that every part manufature makes a part for every car......

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 29 Nov 2004, 03:12

Sigh.

The only reason an engine blows in this game is overheating. That's it.

Who cares what type engine it is? Does EA care? NO. The one blows, the other doesn't.

flatblacksleeper · Post by **flatblacksleeper** » 29 Nov 2004, 09:32

Exactly what i was saying....i think i might try GT3 agian becasue when i played it i was not into cars...

gregmtech · Post by **gregmtech** » 29 Nov 2004, 18:00

please stop saying supra and skylines are crap ; ok there only stage 2 tuned if the TT and others are stage 3, but set your gear ratios , i've got a supra with witch i don't blow the block and i do get 34.40 on the 3.07km run (non unique modified car )
i know the TT 250 ok , but how can you get the power of 414kw if a supra or sky only has 410??? or less....lol

so in my opinion they built this game for people to play with what ever car they want, if the supra's and sky's had 1000hp who woulkd take a 600hp TT?

get the point?

it is frustrating to get a pony in front a sky , but , get those gear ratios set corectly and tune the engin as ot should and allready be alot beter.

ps: it is not all about geting the max kw; don't forget torque is important to , and is to the shape of the power curve, so don't try to get the most out, try and get the best acceleration curve, is , no flat sport ubove shifting points....

its not about the HP!!!! jeeeze...it comes to skill in real life...u even sat in a 280hp car before? you know 280hp is fast enough already...over 400hp is not drivvable....not in da uk neways...my bad if you live in the us where u have like mile long roads...but still....
supra engines aint THAT spectacular...i find a spoon ek9 engine way more fascinating...11,000rpms or 12,000 can't remember....on a little hatchback? now thats something....
even Taks 86 with 12,000rpm amuses me more that your supra engines...jeezz....NA cars can sometimes be faster than turbo'd cars....be more realsitic...you cant drive a 600hp car in a mountain pass....300hp the max...turbo cars will not perform good...too much turbo lag....

Drewb99 · Post by **Drewb99** » 01 Dec 2004, 00:11

If you're popping your engine, you're redlining way too high. The only way to fix it ito lower the powerband's RPM range in the ECU and turbo screens, otherwise it'l just keep exploding.

And his name's not 'Tak'. Don't be stupid like Tokyopop.

marshallpre1 · Post by **marshallpre1** » 01 Dec 2004, 05:21

i agree with flatblacksleeper... ive been angry with the supra issue since nfsu1, but what can u do, its a game, so if u want to compete u gotta use the best car... and it sucks, and i hate to say this, but its not the supra

flatblacksleeper · Post by **flatblacksleeper** » 01 Dec 2004, 08:07

Not sure isnt the EK9 (there is some engine not sure exactly) the enigine they made in japan that had a 11,000 rpm...and weretn there only 100 (100 somthing of them) of them made.....that is not really what i would call "avaiable". But......the point of the matter is...its a frickin supra one of the "power cars" in the tuner industry, yet it is the worst car to drive (in the game). Yes i have been in a STI before for your 280 question. As far as 400 horses ago...counlndt agree more, most likely any car that not a Ferrai, Porshe, Lambo, merceds ect wont do it street legal. And yes i am well award that NA cars can be faster then turbos at hight level due to "turbo lag" but gettin a car up to the hight levels is very hard without a turbo, not saying it has not been done because it has,
