    Mit Abstand das schlechteste Spiel was ich je gespielt habe und wenn man meinen würde ja auch wenn die Fahrmechanik nicht so gut ist könnte ja die Story ganz gut sein aber da muss ich euch enttäuschen die Story ergibt keinen Sinn und die Rennen sind oft zu schwer ABER trotz all dem läuft es Flüssig und es gibt keine Bugs

Story is cringy, character are boring, all story events are irrelevant and about some monster energy gamer Ken block pop culture reference **** . Cars drive like **** always forcing themselves into uncontrollable scripted drift like if they were amusement park rides on rails. Ai is piss easy, but races can be frustrating due to uncontrollable vehicles. Game has forced multiplayer, so you can't pause the game even if you're playing alone without ps+ subscription. Restarting a race takes 5 **** minutes : first you wait a loading, than you park your car at starting position. After that you start the event, wait another loading and the race finally starts. Customisation is alright, but text is bugged while doing wraps. Cops do nothing and are indestructible. Graphics and map is really good, I love the atmosphere in this game.

    Overall the game is crap, i dropped it at like 40% because it became extremely boring    … Expand

    The only good things about this game are the graphics (which are only good because of the reflections) and the Underground vibes.

    The rest is just awful: the physics, crash cams, lack of content, stupid AI, restarting events takes forever, and so on...

    NFS (2015) is a game that is good at its core but is ruined by a plethora of EA-isms.
    While the driving feels quite good and there is a fair bit of customization available, those are the only real positives.

    While the driving feels quite good and there is a fair bit of customization available, those are the only real positives.
    Although the open world isn't ugly at all, it's so monotonous and dead you will fast travel everywhere just to save yourself from it. The story features horrendous live action cutscenes which include some of the worst writing I've ever witnessed - no way to tell if the actors are any good as the material they had to work with was straight up garbage. Despite the great driving, races suffer from laughably obvious and aggressive rubber banding. Doesn't really matter how far ahead you are and how much better your car is - 10/10 times 1-2 km before the finish someone is going to spawn behind you going 800 km/h and they'll usually beat you unless you've upgraded your car to the max.

    And now for the worst problem... The online component. Make no mistake NFS 2015 is a strictly offline game - nothing about it suggests online play or even a need for an online component. Yet for some reason EA have made an online connection at all times mandatory. It makes zero sense and results in nothing more than server crashes and other racers crashing into you, thus ruining your race and forcing you to start over. Why this decision was made is beyond me and I truly hope whoever made it realised they don't belong in the gaming industry and left. Absolute joke

    Need For Speed (2015) could have actually been quite a good game but EA did what EA does best and destroyed it.    … Expand

    + Very realistic graphics.
    + Cut scenes are live action which would be cool, but they aren't any good.
    - The game is too dark.
    - Always online and I don't see why it had to be.
    - Car handling is sloppy and feel sluggish.

    The game is broken. I can't progress because there is no police in the city. I ran 2x 1h and find no one. Too bad: driving mechanic is quite fun.

    At first, the game has adequate complexity, but then it grows to heaven! There is no choice of complexity, and without some races that for me it’s not realistic to go through the plot, not progress, the game sucks!

    Worst game of the series. Heavily blurred graphics (frostbite engine looks better on battlefield 3 which released in 2011), ONLINE ONLY which NOBODY asked for. Soundtrack in NFS UG1,2 and most wanted 2005 was SOO MUCH better.
    All in all its easy platinum for everyone, who manage to spend 20+ hours on that "game". It's not even worth 5$ on sales.

    Need for Speed is a well-wrought game, full of interesting features, albeit without many fresh ideas. However, it is prone to deliver most of the gamers in the uncomfortable arms of boredom sooner than later, although it is bound to satisfy the hardcore fans.

    The latest Need for Speed feels old in every aspect. The driving model, the AI, the story and the characters, the environments – all of it is simply poor. [13/2015, p.68]

    Need for Speed’s decent feel of driving and nice tuning options don’t amount to much when coupled with harsh rubber banding, boring environments and a terrible forced story mode. [Dec 2015]
