Worst Online
This may possibly be the worst online game i have ever played...make that tried to play. First of all the filter is a joke. You can't disable it and it says there are like 30 games and none of them show up...even when you dink around with the filter for like 30 min only like 2 or 3 games show up. And what is up with the Ranked cars crap. You can't use your own cars...? WTF!!!??? EA has really screwed up this online mode of this game. It's alright that you can customize the ranked cars. But the filter thing needs to be thrown away...i hope a patch or something comes out that you can disable the filter and make the online mode a lot more entertaining...online mode is terrible...i don't know what made EA let the game go already when the mode is this bad...

ok , go online , and when choosing one of those rancked cars in stead of choosing it, read the screen !
it says , press (circle for me ps2 user) X key to change to car lot and get another car and then custumize it. allthey waht is that the ranked cars are to be based on standard stage 3 max cars and the rest is to the user to tune , and the retched gearboxers suck hell ; once set corectly in each mode you should allready be kickin unset player cars.
for the filter part , i'm SOOOOOO glad someone said that , it suck aswell, i allready disliked the first one with so many ussless rooms (ie what is a euro guy going to lag a us game ??? so stupid lol ) but that one is hell! you can't even see whos playing :@
thats where i like the socom2 (allredy to many rooms ) but here we have one of the worst i've ever seen.

I'm now 90% sure disqualification is due to the player averaging at below 30fps for a race. It keeps on happening to me, and there is just no point me playing online now.unfknblvble wrote:My booboo about online play is (as well as the above lack of online games) is the disqualification notification. I don't know why people get dq'd or what triggers it. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Also I think online wil get busier as more ppl complete career mode.
(I hope)
My reasons for believing it's do with fps is using Fraps to caputre how many frames I'm getting, and it would seem a average below 30 will get me disqualified.
I have contacted EA about this issue TWO days ago, and still have not had a reply. I think the disqualification system is unfair and unneccaserry.

I have been disqualified once, after I won a race, and even lapped both the competitors... but it never happened again... very irritating, but hey you suk it in and get on with the next race.
They guys online are really cool, and have made good buddies. Once you start making buddies, you can create your own games and invite them. Also you will start getting invited to games.
I don't think I wait longer than three minutes to start a game. Its quite fun. There's usually one or two games that you see. But remember that you must set filter correctly. I.E. Ranked games, what type of race, and most importantly car restrictions. Things like collision detection and race breaker don't matter.
If there are no games, create one and invite players to join thru messenger. The other major problem is a lot of guys start trying to use their career cars, and that means you go to unranked games, which in the end results in not seeing many games online.
The reason there are 300 players online and 90 games created, but you don't see them all, depends on a lot of factors. XBox, PS2, PC, GC all don't see eachother. Drag, Circuit, X, URL and Drift don't see eachother. Ranked and Unranked don't see eachother. So it all depends on your filter.
Also, there may be an issue around US and EU versions that don't see eachother. Although I have US version and have raced guys from UK, Germany, USA, Hungry, Russia and Poland. PC version seems to let anyone race, but guys with Opel won't see guys with Honda as car selected.

I just saw this post, what is all this crap about this online play???
The system dq's some1 on cheating, but based on what??? The gap to the cars behind you? Or what? B/c u were too fast for the others? Man...AcidDog wrote:I have been disqualified once
wtf man, I was so looking forward to racing my bro w/ his XBox, and me w/ PC. Why did EA tear this option out of NFSU2... we all made buddies in NFSU1, but some we won't meet again in NFSU2 b/c of this separation. Done some searching and EA DID announce it: 1st question in this article >>>AcidDog wrote:XBox, PS2, PC, GC all don't see eachother.
"Any major patch released would have resulted in breaking the connectivity between the PC and the console community, as they'd be running different versions of the game. Because of these issues, we thought it best to go a more traditional route this year and keep each community separate."
they took the option out cause the pc users CHEAT! just go around the net , and pc cheats are just all over the place, try racing a pc vs a ps2 , well 99% of the time the pc is in front, why? isn't that weird? some people on pc have records that no ps2 or Xbox could managed to do.
ie; in nfsu1 , i raced my freind on pc , the prob was he had all unic on the car and i had just the standard.
well its the same on the 2. and i'm sooo glad finally i just play vs users with the same cheating possibilities as me, ie, nearly none. to none online.
is u get disqaul , i have found out that something weird hapened, ie; i saw my competitor crash, but he hadn't actually crashed and fineshed the race ( i mean i saw a fliying car....) so the race disqualed him and also ive realized that if 1 of 4 users can't sonchronise corectly he get disqual to.
but , it only hapens rarely now. or i havn't seen some disqual in a day or 2 .
