Carbon PC Webstore Open

Post by Bojan »

EA has opened the Need for Speed Carbon webstore where you can buy performance upgrades, visual upgrades, unlock cars or even upgrade your normal version to collectors edition. Prices range from $1 for cars to $3.75 for autosculpt upgrades, $5 for performance upgrades and $10 for collectors edition upgrade.

Visit the webstore

It seems like a way for EA to get even more cash, like advertising in games. :/

So, this is actually store for all those lazy guys who dont want to unlock content by racing? I.e. only existing stuff for sale?

Looks like EA knows that Idiots and Fools exist cuz only they can be so stupid to waste money on something we can unlock ourselves or Hexedit to have them.

what a f**kin scam. EA is full of crap nowadays, why should you have to pay for add-ons, they should give this stuff out to the NFS community for free.

Dude, read correctly. By bodykits they mean set of bumpers and skirts. And they are available ingame.

" Item Description
Unlock the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 for your immediate use in Need for Speed™ Carbon. Considered by many to be the ultimate American sports car, the Viper is one of the boldest vehicles to ever hit the streets. There’s nothing subtle about this car. From its eye-catching look to its outrageous performance, this car is all about making a statement
. "
One word: PROPAGANDA !!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: F*cking EA ppl !
About autosculting bk: it seems that EA considers fb, rb, side skirt, spoilers, chop top and hoods to form a BODY KIT: "Item Description Shape your tuner car to your unique specifications by unlocking this Tuner Car Autosculpting kit. This kit includes 13 Autosculpting kits and allows you to sculpt front and rear bumpers, skirt, chop top, and hood." But we all now what iz a TRUE BK !!
This IS JUST A SCAM to make more MONEY. :evil: Az they dont have enough already ! :evil:" Pre-Requisites Many of the items in this bundle can be achieved without purchase by progressing through Career, Challenger Series and Reward Card. " :evil:
If the game woud be perfect I woud not have a single bad comment on this webstore. But the game isn`t perfect, so... u get my point. The Autosculp sistem iz not that great - it has to little parts to customize + some r rly UGLY, and the vinyl sistem - altho is the best so far - has to few layers to put on ! :( IMO the perfect tuning sistem woud be a combination of U 1, U2, MW + Carbon.Oh, I almoust forgot: + why r the CCX, Zonda F and R8 rides not available in Career mode and not customizable ?
So I think EA is ruining some aspects of these francize and does not takes notes on what the fans want. :evil:

It clearly says that you can unlock most of the stuff by doing the careermode anyway they even say you can. but there are people that don't want to play the careermode or something else.
And not everybody wants to hex edit or even know what it is.

If you don't like it.... DON'T GET IT. and stop whining.

Seems very stupid to charge for stuff that is in the game, but at the same time there are people who call game help lines and get charged by the minute. It's basically the same thing here.
