Good work!!

Keep'em coming!!

I LOVE THIS GAME :) !!!]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/452417/4193807.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/452417/4193807.page
This game "could" have been so great. Are the physics the best.., they're not.., however they're not what's holding this game back. It has awesome graphics.., clearly without a doubt a "benchmark title" for the cockpit driving experience. Good track selections.., fairly decent tuning options, and a nice selection of cars. What literally destroys this game is the HORRIBLE way they set up the AI.

Need for Speed Shift could easily win an award for one of the absolute "worst" racing games when it comes to utter nonsense in how the AI was coded. Anyone on NFS's development team who thinks it's appropriate for the AI to literally destroy your car (intentionally.., and WELL beyond the accidentals you see in a "real" race").., should be BANNED from making racing games. There is absolutely no excuse to have the AI intentionally ramming your car from all sides when doing 180+mph in high performance race cars. It's shere stupidity! It's even more insulting when they then add "clean lap" to some race requirements. How can you make a racing game.., call it a sim (that's what they called it.., and promoted it as).., and program "NO RULES AI"..?? It's hard enough keeping the bloody cars on the track at times because of how much they drift..., but then to deal with AI slamming into your car, pitting you, ramming you from the side, stopping short, cutting you off, coming to a dead stop around turns-for no good reason.., and doing ALL of this intentionally is plain dumb.

AI accidents are obviously coded and timed to impact your vehicle for the sole purpose of taking you out of a race. Every time a car loses control.., isn't it interesting how there is that ONE car involved that just happens to roll right in front of you when you're avoiding the wreck. Just plain dumb.

I have nothing against the NFS franchise. They made some really great games in the past. However.., the route they took with this title was wrong. This game would be so much better if they just release a patch and toned down the over aggressive AI. For *'s sake....., does EVERY freaking car have to bump you on a track. You go to make a clean pass and literally watch the AI jump the driving line just to smack into the side of your car in an attempt to knock you out of control as you pass. I ran a race today and worked so damn hard at getting a clean lap and a podium finish. I was on fire.., and at the very last second an AI car rams right into my rear end, pitting me for no good reason. All those f*** laps wasted to fall short that one star because the AI is this way.

What I've seen lately at local gaming stores and after talking to store employees about this game is shocking. I don't know about your area.., but all the game stores I've been to locally have had SO many copies returned or traded in. Some reported returns and trades within 24 hours of purchase. The number one reason I've heard from GameStop, and other stores is "The AI is horrible".

EA.., get off your *.., get the developers back to the desks, and have them tone down the AI in this game. You guys completey shot yourselves in the foot by releasing a "so called racing simulator" with AI coded this way. There's nothing funny about Zonda Derby Racing. People stop playing online because of exactly how the AI is coded in this game. What makes you think that people who stop online racing because of constant bashing, smashing, and outright stupidity.., want to deal with the same sh** in the game itself against the AI. I've talked to some people who refuse to actually play the game (career mode and quick races) because they find "cleaner races online". You know you screwed up when people are saying that......]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/452409/4193737.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/452409/4193737.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/452392/4193618.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/452392/4193618.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/452388/4193593.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/452388/4193593.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/452060/4189966.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/452060/4189966.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/451826/4187492.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/451826/4187492.page

I like the game, just don't want to play it all over again. I had unlocked everything, all cars, racks and the challenge series.

What are the 3 small icons under the speedo number readout in cockpit view?.....
What do they mean when they start to illuminate / flash?.....thanks]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/450625/4175188.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/450625/4175188.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/450609/4175052.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/450609/4175052.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/450228/4171137.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/450228/4171137.page ]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/450225/4171113.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/450225/4171113.page
