Did EA Get it Right or Wrong?!

i agree with most of you.. but one thing that pissed me off the most was that there was no videos... i think a game should have videos... i never thought nfsu2 would go maxpayne style... like whole shiznit.. would have beeen much better with the vids in it.

So if EA Canada are listening, and I'd be surprised if they didn't read some of these threads occassionally. U2 is a good game, but not there yet... There are some serious glaring mistakes, some parts that are plain annoying and some touches of brilliance...

I think we have seen that there are a lot of negative comments but the greater majority are constructive... We are all loyal fans it seems, and if EA set about doing an Underground 3, taking some serious points into account they will easily have the greatest racer of all time...
1. Movies - instead of comic book style.
2. More cars.
3. Damage system - but this opens a lot of problems... might not be a good idea actually in the end.
4. Deeper tuning options.
5. Massive online world, free roam.
6. More realistic settings.
7. Max out tuning for all cars, like 1.
8. Shorter circuits.
9. Shine and Show areas.
10. More body kits and wider variety.

These things will make NFSU the greatest selling and best racer in the world easily. A crown that Gran Turismo currently owns.

Pay attention folks at EA... Make the game and you can even charge a monthly fee for people to join the massive multiplayer online game... more bucks for you guys!!!! Now that should motivate you to make a U3 and include the above...

I think they are a good addition, but they should have videos and comic styled clips as well, just to give it a bit of both. I've noticed though, that with the pc version the pictures are all pixelated and shiznit-tay, ps2 doesn't seem to have as pixelated pictures in it.

EA, you're gay.

hahaha i love this thread..im one of u people who critistse NFS to the max i swear ahah...
things i dnt like..that havent mentioned..doe i agree with ALLLL the things u guys all said..
1.) in the tuning options..its just the same as the first game? i mean u buy the whole package because its cheaper..and you dont bother going throught each and every single one of it..they need to improve on this..have seperate tuning parts..make it triple times deeper gods sake!! if u claim that this is the best tuner game..man EA is on drugs
2.) car models need to have their own unique colours..and not just all universal colours..eg..a honda ek9 tye R should have ONLY championship white...and skyline GTR should have bayside blue(isit call dat woteva it is) and so on...make it DETAILED
3.)have jap varried types of body kits and brands..have rare kits..have one offs..have street style kits(rice..eg bomex) and jap style (mugen etc..)
4.)specific jap cars should have their own specific racing specialist for tuning..what i mean is..mazda have their mazdaspeed...honda have mugen..toyoa have TRD...have other rare kits..ie..spoon kits..
5.)engine transplant
6.)more year models of the same car..so people can enjoy woteva year the like their car in..say like a rx7..from the FC to the year 2000 FD model
7.)tweaking your car should be more effictive..because honestly i dont see much of a diff in the gear ratio and ride height..
8.) get the F****G rite cars jeez!! research..for once..people dont just use da 30 cars avaliable in the game to street race..man...
9.)free roam city needs to be more alive..like midnight series..the trafic has to be traffic..not just random cars popping out of nowher and drive into you..
10.)realistic damage like TOCA for example..EA IS..and i repeat IS rich enough to get lisence..so get it!! Codemasters can..so y cant EA!!
11.)improve on the wholee online mode..its a disgrace
12.)replys not good enough..the angles miss out a lot of the nice action..
13.) PLS spend time makng a game..not half completed game...u always get advantage cos of ur company..and have a nice concept of a new racing game..but u rush it and it pisses your loyal fans off...LIKE ME!! you basically F** up and ruin all this games that can have such a high potential IF u put time and effort into it..research...not jst make up things which u THINK is true...man...disrace..EA disgraces me so much..

AcidDog · Post by **AcidDog** » 25 Nov 2004, 15:44

Dude you said it!

Wow. It is fun tho... <gulp>
I wish only one thing... EA listens hard to what we say here and elsewhere, and attempt to make U3 even better, because although U2 is a good game, it is a long way from being the dogg's bollocks of games!

Sweeper · Post by **Sweeper** » 25 Nov 2004, 16:54

Well, TRD may enter, but they don't offer half the good stuff as our friendly boys like HKS do.
AND GET RID OF THAT "NEED TO RICE" stuff, some of us love to drive sleeper cars.

The Flying Dragon · Post by **The Flying Dragon** » 25 Nov 2004, 18:20

But i like the bodkits it gives you...like mazdaspeed on a rx7..man my dream

MINES bodykited evo 5 or MINES R34.. MUGEN DC2..Spoon EG6...i want allllll this jap cars...GT4 may contain these..but i want a bit of fun like the physhics of the cars..not completely realistic..a TRD supra looks amazing too...hey man i like sleeper cars too..

jobo9 · Post by **jobo9** » 25 Nov 2004, 19:22

Those are some really nice ideas! With damage, cops, licenced bodykits, more cars and all that stuff EA would make a killing, i agree.

But EA does wat they like, if the would like flying cars in U3, they'd put it in, they barely listen to the users...

Why is there never anyone of EA on the forums?! This one, ore even at the EA website, i've never seen m! EA Has to start listening...

korge · Post by **korge** » 25 Nov 2004, 19:31

wow..i cant believe my eyes....of all ppl to bash EA...At ND4SPDWorld half of my 850 posts were directed toward EA after their Sellout toward the tuner scene....now i relize how much of an idiot i looked like..trust me ppl..those guys are just doing there job...making money..if you think the game is so retarded go some where else like http://www.SRSunlimited or http://www.juicedworld...i dunno..but stop bashing some one for doing there job..if you think the game is gay,then dont play it..i bet everyone thats bashing the game is actually spending half their time playing the game..seriously..grow up....

darksidelord · Post by **darksidelord** » 25 Nov 2004, 19:58

The cars aren't that hot either... pretty much the same as the first one with some new inclusions. But nothing updated, like the Honda Civic hatchback, or the Mitsubishi FTO or even dare I say it a Golf 5 instead of the old Golf 4...

i still dont understand why they didnt include my beauty honda S2000

.they excluded one of the best cars of nfsu1. they also didnt include cars like toyota mr2, honda prelude and nissan 300ZX. they really let me down concerning the cars included

darksidelord · Post by **darksidelord** » 25 Nov 2004, 20:00

SUVs = retarded

can anyone explain to me why the hell they included SUVs????????????????????????????????????

AcidDog · Post by **AcidDog** » 25 Nov 2004, 20:44

Korge, dude.
You can make comments without having to hate the game. Just because some guys think EA made mistakes doesn't mean they going to go out and play Juiced (suky game!!) or SRS...
The title of the discussion is Did EA Get it Right or Wrong? If most folk think there are some things wrong let them talk about it... sheesh.

Just because some people don't like their president doesn't mean they all leave the country!!!

Chill.

HAHAH i agree man...WHY???
the reason is..EA thinks its gangster by putin retarded trucks...copyin MDC3 i guess....didnt work too wel...

Flameking · Post by **Flameking** » 25 Nov 2004, 22:28

the trucks messed it up. You dont drag in a SUV. Wtf. XD

EA should be listening right now.

The Flying Dragon · Post by **The Flying Dragon** » 25 Nov 2004, 22:56

EA should listern to my post and do something about it...thats what they should be doin XD

Dtox · Post by **Dtox** » 26 Nov 2004, 01:08

Yeah nice post dragon, couldn't agree more, they go on about the licensing so they have to make up all their own kits. Their own kits look pure shiznit, we aren't driving rice rockets here, they look utter crap.

And arrgh, they included SUV's too give the game more variation as SUV's are in the scene but ONLY has show cars, noone drifts in them or drags in them. They gave it a less than half-ass attempt as there is no show n' shine option for these cars, and there is only 30 cars in total so slappin in 2 suvs and a hummer doesn't flow.

Juiced is great for it's range of cars, nothing else.

Seems like the people EA listened to were the people who answered the surverys they dropped off at kindergartens.

"We want lots of pwiddy colours and big big rear flying spoiler thingies! YAY!"

I'd like to see some more old school in there with some new school.

The weather effects are so cartoonish, it's not even funny. Also I'd rather have day change to night like in GTA - it will make the Free Roam a bit better.

Wolrajh · Post by **Wolrajh** » 26 Nov 2004, 03:59

Agreed with that.. Playing ALWAYS by night and ALWAYS on a shiny wet road is boring ...
If their reference is F&F, well at last there ARE day periods. First drag in F&F and first sprint in 2F2F are night races, but hey, if they had watched the entire movie they would have seen the desert part and the last drag of F&F, full day. Same for 2F2f. Well I don't think there is a need to resume the movies, everybody here probably have seen them :p

I don't really agree with the weather effect ; i think it looks nice. At last it's better than nothing. Maybe a true thunder and lightnings sometimes could have enhanced it, or maybe even a thick fog... Well, with those, the emphasis may not have bene put on speed anymore.

Last, I really agree with the ricer thing. What has really, really, really annoyed me was that damn way the game forced you to rice and make you car into something that didn't looks like a car anymore. I mean, crappy roof scopes, horrible unique, freaky wide body... At last when we get to the end we can remove most of those horrible things

Haha!! Couldn't agree more UrQ! Before you knew it, you hear a thunder, and the rain starts pouring heavivily, which has never happened to me before in my life. Usually it starts drizzling first before a heavy downpour...

AcidDog · Post by **AcidDog** » 26 Nov 2004, 09:33

Its funny how the rain comes in every single race, no matter what... I mean what's up with the clouds man!

They say that the rain affects your driving as well, not really, at 200MPH everyone drives into walls... nothing different!!!

korge · Post by **korge** » 26 Nov 2004, 10:15

rain is ok,but i turned off the rainsplatter...but i would hate day races..it would be retarded..you dont see rice burners in mondays traffic jam...

btw..i just think this is turning into, 'Did EA get it Gay or Straight', then jsut comments..thats all..

lol...that was good...lmao.

AcidDog · Post by **AcidDog** » 26 Nov 2004, 10:39

What's with the okes on this forum gay bashing all the time?? Is this some kinda new cool term that kids are using??? Again I must remind all you dudes, we love gays, two women are aways better than one!!!!

i think EA wants us to transform our lovely cars to space rockets..or submarines...we can blast off itno space!! or take a deep adventure down under the sea.....HAHHA i think thats the way EA likes their cars..LOL

Oh maan! The more I read these posts the more they make me laugh! I mean cmoon, if you put all of that stuff into one gema no computer will be able to play it! Clever traffic, with real looks? Are you serious? You know how much modelling would that make? How many extra sounds? If they werent all the same, do you know how hard would that make things for your computer to run them? I allready talked about the damage model in other topic -> doing this would mean bye bye high speeds and risky situations (read: goodbye all the fun). More cars? You want more cars? Did you ever wonder why there are so many games that use cars that don't exist in real life? Well, cuz it's hard to get permissions to use them in the game!! Speaking of which, that is also one of the reason why there is no damage in the game. Uh! I will not go further here...

I agree, some stuff could be better and I daydream about a fantastic U2 style game myself but...lets just keep it real shall we?
