Who the hell came up with the idea of drag racing AGAINST the flow of traffic ?
Who the hell decided that a straight, unobstructed drag strip shouldn't be in the game ? I mean, come on ...
IMO, they completely ruined the drag racing portion ...
You should have the ability to control your car during a drag race, not just switch lanes (which gets really annoying around the many corners that they decided to put into the drag tracks) ...
Did EA Get it Right or Wrong?!
I don't think realistic traffic is important, if you've got a massive online game the other players would make excellent traffic. Besides, the model EA use don't have such high polygon counts, games like HL2 are much more PC intensive, remember what an XBox and a PS2 have as their processors and GPU's... If the game works on those platforms, it will work on a entry level PC today.
How cool would it be to hook up a race in the middle of the city, while other guys are still driving around minding their own business! hahaha, the options for gameplay are endless!!!

I would like to point something out:
Most prolly EA included the SUVs because, whether you like it or not, they ARE an important part of the tuner scene, of course nobody uses them to race, but I've seen a handful of cool customizations of these cars.
So, since the tuner scene is what EA is trying to portrait, it is a GOOD decision to include SUVs in the game.
Problem is, the gameplay makes it pointless
Why should you spend 1000's of bucks on customizing a escalade, giving it a head-blasting sound equipment and such? will it be of any use?
No
If there were showroom competitions on single player, or if you had something to do with the car other than racing against other SUVs it would make sense but...
Again, I think this game should be about both speed and styling... and if you focus only on speed you kill other game modes that SUVs could have meant to the game.

I think most folk agree that SUV's inclusion is not a bad thing. I think that everyone also agrees that SUV's inclusion was only half done. For whatever reason. The truth of the matter is that Shine and Show or Show and Shine online comps would be an easy inclusion to the online side of the game, that wouldn't require EA to do much... Maybe someone at EA will realize this and we'll get Shine and Show comps...
On other point... if this game is about illegal street racing, well... make it "illegal" that is, include cops. It seems in this city nobody cares about a bunch of maniacs driving at 200 mph on the streets straight into oncoming traffic!!!!
It was hella fun to evade cops on Hot Pursuit 1 & 2, So why miss that part of the fun?

[quote="gofra"] 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.
i agree with you gofra. but they could have left out all the SUVs and instead include cars that are really worth driving them eg S2000

a few thing from me:
most of the things here arent even close to constructive critisism, sounds like all is negative.
now let me give you some reasons why things where included or left out:
COPS (left out) LICENCE!!!!! if they add cops... car companys won't give licence for their cars like HONDA (look at SRS) and you will all be wining about the fact that there are so much good cars missing...
SUV's: (put in) 1 The main reason is: EA did a big poll after NFS U2 was planned and they asked loads of questions about the cars, bodywork colors, free roam you name it they asked what we all thought about it.
and the SUV's where one of the cars in a big car list you could choose as cars you wanted in the game.
so they did!
the list contained cars like BMW's CRX's Preludes 300ZX even exotics like the Murcialago and the 360spider!
but they people who voted choose the SUV's! so don't blame EA.
(and they are hot in the Bling scene)
Damage: license also... probably they trew it away cause one manufacturor didn't want it any way cause, there wher movies where cars did have damage... but if one company says NO... it is all over.
the massive online thing:
sound fun... but think it would be a LAG frenzy! cause just like in NFS U1 people with slower connections did enter whit all the lag and trouble... and a massive free roam would make it even worse!

Stig im not saying this for certain but i think most people kno the reasons y there not in the game but theres nuffin wrong wiv still wanting them, if u look at my post i clearly sed i am aware ov them reasons. The topics called "did ea get it right or wrong?" not "who knows most about EA's liscense?"

OR i could liven up again with more bizzare comments about how much this game really is...silly...in so many ways...UrQuattro wrote:Right or Wrong, it's very unlikely that U3 will come out - the topic is dead. So we might make best of what we have as U2, and hope that the best they'll make for it is the addon cars for both versions (you know which ones, grrr).
about the lisence thing..i dont care much..since my honda DC2 is mever in a tuner racing game..i aint bothereed..or even a civic ek9 or even a eg6..i love hondas..and they are some of the main cars....i don't care less if those hondas wernt in the game..makes no difference..s2000 is nice..but it wudnt effect me as much as how a honda DC2 woudlt be in the game...and im talking about the jap spec..not the euro/american wotehaver acura version...
if you think a na supra cant make over 500bhp, or you think that there is a big difference between the supras turbo and nonturbos engines, you need to take all that supra stuff out of your signaturemarshallpre1 wrote: in theory the NA supra cannot take that much hp in the engine its just not possible because, its not the same as the 2jz-gte

um mr. supraapu... i think they recommend that u engine swap for a 2jz-gte in an NA supra if u are a serious car tuner... and arent these cars in the game more like race cars and less like a daily driver? so dont u agree that the 2jz would be a better choice or dont u? 
the 2jz-gte HAS FORGED INTERNALS ie can take more hp....
if u think there is no difference put 800 hp on an NA supra and 800 on a TT, lets see whos engine lasts.... perhaps that TT?

I don't agree at all! This game is very far from a 2 out of 10!!!
The game has good graphics, some of the best in racer games. The game has excellent sound. It has a massive single player game, which is easily a 30 hour game, not many games out there that can boast the same. It has the most mods you can do to cars. It is tremendous fun and has loads of replay value. So, in asking the question did EA get it right or wrong? I wanted to know what people thought of the elements in the game such as online play, selection of cars, tracks, SUV's and the like. One can not change U2 but one can hope for a better U3... This game is NOT Cr@p!!!!!

I must say I completely agree with AcidDog here.
Y'Know, it's always easy to complain about a game's flaws, but a small section of you are making it look as if if NFSU2 was shiznit packed in a DVD box.
Dudes... nobody forces you to play NFS if you think it's crap, But it would be more useful to suggest things (Like DTox and the Flying Dragon did, for example) that could be improved on a *hopefully* future NFSU3 than to whine about the whole game.

¿Lack of realism? go and get richard burns rally, NFSU2 is an arcade game, not a driving simulator... ¿Don't like the fact that you need to rice up your car? well... then why are you playing a game based on tuner cars? this is what people wants, if not, they would be playing toca race driver 2...¿More cars? agreed... the car list has come up a little short but let's just hope that EA gets more official licenses on the next underground game (no doubt it will happen)hardvibes03 wrote:ok let me tell you something....this game is a shame
rice "pimp-my-ride" cars,stupid AI,shiznit gameplay,boring races,etc etc etc...
I would give this game 1/10.....BUT.....with graphics
.....
.....
2/10

I guess Juiced could fix some of the problems NFSU2 has (car variety, daylight racing, and others) but having tested the demo I hope the final game turns out to be much better than that... Guess we'll just have to wait and see, I think It would be good for everyone that Juiced was a good game, because it would be the perfect excuse for EA to develop NFSU3 
lets just hope EA visits this forums and takes a WHOOOOOLLLE lotta notes cuz they will be needed it. Or better, the admins make a forum of what to tell EA to improve and add and stuff and either the admins or the ea people categorize them as good and/or understandable reasons and ideas to improve next time.
