Tell EA what new race modes you want

I saw a topic at EA Forums and i thought it was pretty interesting, if you interested in a new race mode or you have one in your mind, then you can go ahead and write it in that topic, and who knows ?, maybe you will find it in the next game.

Race Modes @ EA Forums

Tandem Driftin!! the drifting in U2 and the original NFS U was good but how abot some formula D style drift contest. they could even include the real drivers from Formula D.

Its better to write them there you know...Eacomsmoothie checks the site usually and so EA, so we have a better chance there for our opinions to be seen.

MW just isn't the same without drift races.

Agree with Jopuma.

Bring back drift races and make drag races playable (i.e. lose the traffic!), please, EA.

ya. and make them straight. i hated u2s and mw jagged drag races.

drift please!!!!!!!
and bring back the kinds of races like in hp2 where the cop chases you during races and actually try to chase you unlike in mw where they just sit there, gather up and following you with no technique.......

also, i have an idea for a new mode- where you make your own starting point and finish line....... you have to find the quickest route there to beat your opponent(s) there.

Nice suggestions master m

drag races need to be improved bad. it would be awesome if they were like in f+f, just four cars on a closed-off straight strip of road, without:
-traffic
-obstacles
-turns

A few good suggestions there, mainly about drags and drift... how about bringing back the old dyno and the test track, and expanding that a little bit. For instance...

If the player buys new brakes, they can specifically test them on the dyno or a circuit, which could expand onto some sort of mini game. For example, the player has to drive in a straight line and stop in a specific zone, therefore it is important to brake at the right time. These tests could become more complicated as the player adds more expensive parts, but this will always be optional, and maybe the game could offer some sort of simple reward for successfully completeing these tests.

Other tests could include:
- Testing the gear ratio on the dyno (pretty much the same as drage races, but could be used to practice)
- Testing handling could be done on the circuit. The player has to drive the car around a simple circuit set out by cones without braking.
- A mini game on the dyno, which involves the player accelerating and then holding the rev steady for a certain amount of time (if that makes sense)
- Testing some other stuff

I'm pretty sure this kinda stuff has been done in a few other games, one of the being GTA:SA (the driving school)

Haven't you ever seen japanese street racersuphill drift

. I was watching the Discovery channel and they where doing a segment on street racing and they showed Japanese drivers uphill drifting, it was nuts

Fadeproof · Post by **Fadeproof** » 14 Mar 2006, 01:58

it doesnt matter what kind of drift races they put in the next game.. as long as they are in it ill be happy.

xturbo · Post by **xturbo** » 14 Mar 2006, 04:54

i want that kind of drag race from 2fast2furious where Brian with his Mitsu has to challenge that muscle car, where you have to get to the end to circle a barrel and then return. If you lose the first race, you inmediately take the place of the second car and try to beat the AI. Any suggestions???

Yeah, good one, write it down at EA Forums if you have the time.

GINIX_2007 · Post by **GINIX_2007** » 14 Mar 2006, 15:16

@ xturbo. U could do tag style as well with 4 players. Have the first 2 race to the finish and the second they fly past the finish the other 2 shoot off back down the track.
