Does it really matter? The decision on what tracks to include has probably already been made and nothing we can do will change that. A wish list doesn't really make sense in such a case.

Well, this is what bothers me with this game - there's plenty of hardcore racers around which all have real world tracks in them. I'd love to have something like The Alps or Coastal from TNFS in Shift. Staged track, great scenery and detailed physics. That would add the Need for Speed feel to the game.

I'm not exactly sure how the reception would be like when SHIFT hits the shelves, but one thing's for sure, I am totally buying the idea. :)

I don't really care about the tracks as long as they're good, but I'd LOVE to see these.

Agree. Even though it is a sim, great environment maps that NFS was known for would help counterbalance all the "sim" theme of the game. Plus, we have all seen and raced the same tracks hundreds of times.

i think if they use the "real" race tracks it would be pretty much what everyone else has used. I would enjoy some custom made real feel tracks with of course alps scenery. wouldnt mind the deep desert run downs and around the world tours would be nice hitting some great mountains and flats

I believe that all that mountain, beach and forest road stuff should belong to World Online, not Shift.

If World Online is MW and Carbon's city's I don't think World Online would have oo much of that maybe just a golf course or something lol

Well, the game is called "World Online". "World". If all the racing is held in the United States with such a name, gamers and reviewers would kill EA, wouldn't they? I guess that the game will have at least two more cities, one in Europe and another one in Asia (NFS biggest markets after the United States).

So your saying that IYO you think that they will create more fictional cities when they've already got some premade worlds from previous games to recycle? Doesn't sound the EA way to me lol :lol:

I think that DMNBt and SP4RCO kind of have the right Idea.

I was very disapointed that the Nordschief(Nurburgring) and laguna Secca were left out of Pro-Street when they really did belong there. I am hoping that they make it into Shift. However we all know what EA does with Good ideas. It Scraps them!

10 minutes per lap (ok, lower 7 with a decent car)? The Green Hell certainly didn't belong to ProStreet. It should belong to Shift, of course.

I still have hope that EA makes things right once again. That's why I still check this website in May. If I ever lost hope, I'd dive directly into Codemasters and SimBin and never look back.

IF EA's math can be believed, NFSMW's World Loop is longer than the Nordschief (Nurburgring) which is currently only 13 miles if I am not mistaken. There are plenty of MW racers posting sub 6 minute times on 'World Loop' However that is also a different type of game with different physics.

Also if Rumors are to be believed SimBin is the one that has been devloping Shift. If and it is a big IF EA doesn't Fark it up (I am not holding my breath here) like EA usually does, Then we may actually get a decent 'NFS' titled racer. Hopefully it will 'LACK' The Evil Cheating rubberbanding ai catchup crap that's been with us since NFS6.(Im not holding my breath about that either) We will just have to wait and see what happens.

Leguna Seca. I will be happy if Leguna Seca is the only track, to be honest.

You're right, I missed it and loved it! But World Loop is actually a sprint race, or in other words a 1lap-only circuit race. That shouldn't be done to the Nordschleife.

Am I the only person looking at this topic who knows nothing about real race tracks? Too bad Forza and Gran Turismo don't come out on pc lol.

You have to remember, those city circuits in MW are a lot less technical than a real race course.

The same can't be said of UG2 though, which explains why a 4.76 mile track (Bayview Concrete) in that game takes 3-4 times as long to navigate as a 4.2 mile track in MW, with similar performing cars.

I actually think it would be really nice to have really LONG tracks. Especially when you're in a depression and wanna drive but you have no car :lol:. Sometimes long tracks are really fun.
