Ok, since it already known that we have to drive around in a city..

I don't just want to speed around the city, but just cruise at 'normal' speeds. How do you think the car will handle? Well, I mean, you can't really cruise in NFS:U with Free Run. A full tuned car accelerates too fast and handling is too sensitive..

Thats kind of a silly question, just don't go too fast, like in real life, ur car may be very fast and yet u have ta cruise along the highway if u don't wanna get ticketed. Just don't go too fast as i said.
This will make us more well-rounded NFSU drivers, knowing how to stay calm.
Just chill on the gas when u realise ur going too fast. Simple as that in my opinion.

My main suggestion for NFSU2 is that they have a replay option at the end of races and also the option to to save em if u want, similar to that of Porsche Unleased

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 20 May 2004, 21:29

yes...replay must be in NFSU2....
otherwise EA are goners

its really cool to show replays not huge *.avi files that you recorded with fraps.

yeah! I remember funny and laughing records at Nfs3! Sometimes playing with a friend, and do stupid things as jumping at Atlantica track. It would be cool to do it again.

AngelSiN · Post by **AngelSiN** » 20 May 2004, 22:50

Yeah i'd like to see some crazy bridge jumps in replay!

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 20 May 2004, 22:51

yeah...after so much requests at official EA forums...

Post by **TheStig** » 20 May 2004, 23:24

the best jumps in NFS 3 can be done at tge Hometown reverse track.... trust me.....

If your .avi's recorded with FRAPS are too big use Dr. DivX to shrink them... I do.

yeah they could impliment somthing like what 'mafia' has. if you dont want to speed or get a ticket in mafia you tap "R2" and a speed limiter comes on not letting you go over a certain speed.

but i mean you could just not speed and taht would work to lol.

ye, thats a good idea. there shuld be some buton that culd keep your disire speed...

Summ · Post by **Summ** » 21 May 2004, 07:33

imo it all depends on the controls you use. If you use pedals and a steering wheel, like I used to for Viper Racing and F1 2002, you have all the sensitivity of real racing, if it's a keyboard you use, you're doomed to a long series of small accelerations and letting go of the gas again, as when you press forward, it has the same effect as full acceleration. So it's really all up to how well this new game will support progressive handling. NFSU gave me unlimited problems with both my steering wheel and my joystick, and I ended up using keyboard - might be therefore I hate drag so much. If they once again go for an optimized keyboard solution, laying all weigh on keyboard controls, then a cruise control button would surely be welcome ...

exonn · Post by **exonn** » 21 May 2004, 07:37

the problem is... i dont have a weel

thats why i need that button...

Qyntel · Post by **Qyntel** » 21 May 2004, 08:17

pressure sensitive buttons.... i remember after i was bored of doing gta missions, id cruise around liberty and vice doing the limit and even stop at a redlight (didnt do it for too long) but you do have you speed. my guess it that driving around the city, will be different to racing...i dont think it will be like the few times you race in GTA how the game play is the same....

exonn · Post by **exonn** » 21 May 2004, 08:23

maybe your right... but, lets wait and see...

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 21 May 2004, 09:48

a simple Cruise button, like in Driver would be all you need really. if they plan to put free roam, they gotta put that in. Otherwise it's taking a weewee at all keyboard users, who are, as Summ said, are doomed to accelerate break all the time (which is taking all the pleasure out of free roam)

exonn · Post by **exonn** » 21 May 2004, 09:52

ye like driver have. that game was one of the best in his time... and that button helpt me alot. and realy there will be a free roam so i cant imagene how to drive withot it.

ed'dy · Post by **ed'dy** » 21 May 2004, 10:24

Yeah true, true there should be an option like that!

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 21 May 2004, 12:07

hmm....if there gonne be free roam then they would need some police on streets, people, cars.....

Arkala_CES · Post by **Arkala_CES** » 21 May 2004, 14:53

Ok first things first as far as i have heard there will be no cops in NFS U2. Unless EA didn't release them @ E3 when i was there. There will be 7 modes all that are know at the moment are Circuit, Drag and Drift. There will be many new cars including American Muscle Cars

. Oh and u can put Sound Systems in your cars 2

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 21 May 2004, 15:26

Are you sure they put muscle cars into TUNING game?

keiri · Post by **keiri** » 21 May 2004, 16:54

OMG....a "fully tuned" '70 Dodge Charger...

*dreams, drools, and then dies*

That would be gorgeous.
