    this game is a shame to the nfs franchise. ALways night driving, DRM, Rubber banding, ridicoulous characherts and other annoying stuff. The only good thing about this game is that it manage to feel a little bit like nfs.

    It was so close to being good. The graphics looked great and enjoyed the drift mechanics. That being said there was so much that made this game terrible for me.

Why would this not pause the game so you could read it. Example if your out running away from the cops and you get a pop up saying u should out run the cops but crash and get busted because you can no longer see your screen thats ridiculous. It takes you like 20 mins to get from your garage to a race. Tho you can jump to your garage easily it is not that easy to get back to the missions. Heres an example of one of my races which frustrated me. I was winning the race but because the track changes so much you must pay close attention to your mini map, I hit a wall returned to game after the crash and was instantly crashing again without any reason. 2 crashes in one crash not even sure why. So I had no chance to catch up to first player even tho I only made one mistake. I couldn't even find that same race to replay it. I just have to accept coming in second instead of being able to replay my last race or something. Also I have tried a lot of games with drag racing and this was by far the worst version I have ever tried. I try and shift up and it doesn't shift properly. I find myself either over shifting up too many gears or not shifting at all and staying in first. It was a really bad idea to use second joystick to shift. Also had to leave one of my games because someone trolling me just kept trying to crash into me constantly so I couldn't even get to my missions. I used to love the old need for speeds and was really hoping this would be closer to the old underground series which it was minus a few main important details the old games were very playable and this is not. I usually get annoyed by something within the first 10 mins of playing and have to shut it off. I feel like there was a lot of potential. I hope the next one is more like the classics tho the customizing in this game was really good too. As well as the concept of the story mode, being a part of the conversation was pretty cool maybe it would be sweet in vr as well.… Expand

    Never have i bothered to write a review about any game simply coz i do think it is about ones personal taste for a game....

    Tho this title hits a new level of worst of the worst with just 1 major flaw.... it is ALWAYS online, this means you can't play w/o being connected to the EA servers....

    Now that on itself doesn't hold me back but the problem is that the EA servers are crap and loose connection frequently, this results in the player being booted from the game and well not able to play at all....

    First i thought it was my ISP but no other game ever gives me any issues with online play only this title

    i would understand it IF i really wanted to play online but i can't even finish the "story" mode because of disconnection issues.

    My advice: STAY FAR away from this game even if it is in the discount rack or hell for that matter given to you, it simply aint worth it to try to play it

    this and only this makes me hate this game everything else is well just as it should be, nice cars nice driving pretty decent handling nice graphics.

    tho all that doesn't make up for the disconnection issues i am returning this game and never want to see it again    … Expand

    Good god this game sucks. To demonstrate how this game should've been, I will compare it to Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005. The cops in this game are broken and boring. You don't engage in long enjoyable chases, instead you get pulled over for doing 60 -70 mph. Again NFS most wanted does it perfect and this game does the exact opposite of that. Next the story.

NFS most wnated has great control and the turning is precise and intuitive. However in this bag of **** the turning is awful. You just need to play it for yourself. I can best describe by saying when you go to turn it takes 2 seconds for your car to start turning. For a game with so many tight turns that require great control this game just flat out ****s the bed. Not to mention the races become way too **** and difficult and you don't feel satisfaction when you beat them, instead you're still **** pissed off. The difficulty spikes are ridiculous. And overall the only good thing I can say about this game is that the car customization is pretty darn good. Other than that, it's just a good old fashioned ****ty game, just like all the other recent NFS. Except this is the worst.… Expand

Для фаната игр NFS и Burnout привыкать к управлению не придётся. В игре лучшая графика за всю историю NFS! Не плохой тюнинг, хотя деталей откровенно не хватает, могло быть и больше. Игру сильно недооценили я считаю, ибо упор тут был на реализм, и это очень чувствуется: фотореалистичная картинка, в погоне за тобой не больше 3-х авто (ну где в жизни за тобой весь город гонялся?), кинематографичные ролики с реальными актёрами! Не поскупились, и это радует! В игре маленькая карта, как впрочем и во всех NFS после 2010-ого года. Зато есть чёткий дрифт, дрифтить по городу и в каньоне огромное удовольствие! Я очень люблю систему AllDrive (когда одиночный режим одновременно с мультиплеером), очень круто встретить кого-нибудь когда и сам гоняешь ночью. Жаль нельзя моргнуть фарами или "бибикнуть".

    Unquestionably a failure part. My main claim will be to physics. It is unfortunate that EA forces all its studios to develop games on Frostbite. This engine is not suitable for racing. It comes to the fact that on some machines it is impossible to travel. And it seems that such a fate awaits Payback. EA killed the legendary series.

    Starting the game you encounter its most annoying trait, the characters. Right off the bat you can tell that this is what youth/car/tuning culture looks like from the perspective of some clueless older person who thinks that this is how things roll. It takes itself seriously while its laughably bad. Some of the characters are obnoxious while the rest are just mediocre. Thats not to say I do not enjoy campy FMVs in games. C&Cs are good fun and a nice reward for progressing through the games. They are bad in a good way. But in NFS's case they are bad in a bad way. Also A minor gripe here, they Called NFS2015 a reboot, which for this franchise makes absolutely no sense at all.

    When it comes to technicals, NFS impresses with great sound all around, while music is a matter of taste. Graphics are also excelent with amazing car models, spectacular vistas and mesmerising wet effects and reflections. With all that been said I'm not really fond of the fact that its always night or dawn(but only when you enter in specific areas), and Im annoyed that its always rainy and humid. I can deal with always being night, but I would prefer more varied weather. If not at least it could be made just dry. Lastly it seems that the game requires a good hard drive. My 7 year old HDD cant keep up to the point that the map might partially load and going on that "ghost" part of the map I fall through the map. This however does happen in specific areas. So, at the end of the day I'm not really sure. It also happens way too often. Couple this with the fact that you have to endure the all the intros and then deal with seriously awful loading times

    When it comes to gameplay and features I think the game does a poor in physics and how tuning affects your car. Driving feels tangible and that you can affect things with tuning at first, however it takes extensive tuning and upgrading to make a car drivable, and even then It's not always a satisfactory result. Another thing is that I feel that there isn't a great deal of variety when it comes to body customisation(especially in later high end cars). The marketing of this game was all about it, but it fails to properly deliver on that end. I also find the available car list lacking. The police is also not that difficult to evade. In fact you might actually have to chase the cops to get what you want. One other gripe I have with the game is the UI. For starters there is no mouse. You can't use it. And then there is the menu. Why do devs like making their menus all over the place?! It's form over function basically. Linear menus, please!

    The last couple issues I have with the game and the ones that steal the most points is the online requirement and the support. Since you can work it alone without interacting with other players and even disabling playing online(which is basically how I roll), it's inexcusible to have to be online all the time, especially when you cant even pause the game. My own connection is not without its issues and occasionaly the lines are down(more often than not, on inapropriate moments). And then, no NFS for you, honey. And I wanted to close with the support. Surely enough NFS2015 was updated several times, but there was not much in the way of new content. There were only three new cars(free, mind you, but still), and they sould've be more. The same goes for potential new areas and possibly even closed race tracks. The world feels small. More needed to be added and things needed to change(such as the online requirement), but alas the last update was in late April 2016.

    I really hope PAYBACK will be better.    … Expand

    If you like avoiding oncoming traffic in every race, constantly smashing into cars that show up in every single one of your drift lines like clockwork, or unresponsive, ridiculously difficult to control cars... If your idea of fun is spending hours tinkering with dozens of unintuitive "tuning" settings rather than actually driving, then this is the game for you.

But NFS disappoints in every other department. The story mode is lame, the cutscenes with the millennaial stereotype characters (and their incessant phone calls) are insufferable, it's constantly night which gets really boring after a while, the cop chases are aggravating and punishing and the tuning, while certainly very addictive and rewarding, is not as easy as it should be due to the need to rack up tons of money. It's certainly a visually extraordinary game, the races are decent enough and you can buy and decorate a dozens of awesome cars, but this game lacks a heart and soul.

    After all the hype this game received when EA announced that they were going back to the Underground era, particularly focusing on the customisation culture and story, does it live up to it? Not really.

Not really.

    The whole idea of requiring online to play is a simply farcical move, games like this thrive being played offline, alone or with a friend/family beside you. Of course, they have let go of the latter option years ago in spite of pure laziness. This mandatory internet connection that has been done is so users wouldn't need to update it periodically I presume. What does this mean for the longevity of this title then? Once the servers are gone, this game is history. They don't care about the nostalgia this game could create in the later years. Even then, what if my internet goes down? Unplayable once more. That's because they knew this game wasn't going to be great.

    It really, really isn't great. For a game that garnered a lot of attention because of the return of deep car customisation, the game quite literally centers around deep car customisation. The soundtrack in this game cannot be altered as well as the controls, so when both is put together having the skip track functionality only triggered by the L3 button, it highlights how diabolical this problem is. Did they not realise the left analogue stick is also used to steer the vehicle? It's a recipe for destruction when I drive at high speeds. Not being able to configure either functionalities to my desire, especially the latter, makes me feel angry and really frustrated. They do more harm than good, genuinely counterproductive if they were going for simplicity. Pausing is also unavailable in the game too, self-explanatory in the sense that it is only playable online. This new culture these developers have started since Rivals in efforts to make their games more realistic is just pitiful. In actuality, all it achieves - and I'm sure they'll keep it in the future - is irritating the heck out of us gamers when we need to take time out for something potentially urgent.

    The problems haven't stopped there. No way. The infinitesimal car limit the developers placed in the garage, is nothing short of laughable. I couldn't believe it when I realised I hit the limit so quickly. A maximum of 10 cars - what a shambolic figure. Again, do they not think about the longevity of the game? Its main selling point as I've said before is customisation, so obviously possessing huge car collections is very much inevitable for a lot of gamers, including me. I put hours into each of these cars to make them rock aesthetically, so to quickly reach the ceiling and be forced to trash them because of this tiny limit makes me shudder, almost in a state of cringe. There's over fifty different cars in the game, give the user a freaking choice whether they want to hoard them or not. Do they really think gamers enjoy trashing cars that they've put effort in modifying over and over again just to barely fit in their next target car? They have no excuse for this. Saving hard drive space on the overall game is not a valid reason - a few gigs to push up the car limit to maybe 25 to 30 would suffice. Nothing short of an abysmal decision by the developers.

    The story isn't as cringy as a lot of the folks here are making it out to be, I mean it is sub-par but I saw that coming from a mile away. It is okay. The calls are really annoying though when I don't pick them up the first time - a way to mute them in the options bar would help. The climax of the story however is incredibly forgettable. Leaves a massive patch of emptiness in me, honestly.

    Positives include the overall gameplay, it is pretty sound so I'm not sure why the others here are moaning about how difficult it is to control the cars. I can't find many problems with it. Tearing streets down with raw speed during free roams are also cool, especially with the night settings carved and shaped beautifully by the gorgeous graphics. It doesn't need to be raining all the time though. Hurts some of the authenticity of the gameplay. Customisation is also fantastic, plenty of things to do again just like the days of NFS Underground and its successor. Body kits, vinyls, the game is stacked full of them. Only issue here is that the availability of the installations need to be more consistent over all the vehicles, being unable to change something as simple as the headlights and taillights for some of the cars with all due respect, is quite annoying.

    Tuning also plays a bigger role in this game than its predecessors, it impacts the performances of these cars a lot more than before. Mostly good, I really like the significant effect it has on the driving mechanics. My gripe with this is being unable to tune anything related to the speed of the cars. Acceleration and top speed are two key components I feel should have been tuneable in the game.

    Function wise, the worst NFS I've ever played. Elsewhere, there are positives to take from.    … Expand

    And than there is the Always-On feature. It's the worst decision ever taken after Sim City. Lost connection, saving failure after races, everything occurred not just once, but couple of times and you can't pause a SINGLEPLAYER Game.
    The only two things that are not completely horrible but nothing worth mentioning are graphics, which are kinda okay but lack a fluent presentation due to the stupid framelock and the customization IF you mean color and decal customization, because for most cars there are like 2 or 3 parts that can be changed at max.

    Heya, just want to say that I'm loving this game. I was a huge fan of the NFSU series, they were NFS to me so I get those who were more fans of the Hot Pursuit/Most Wanted style series not liking it.

    This really is the successor to the Underground games I've wanted for the longest time. 10/10 from me, even if there's not another underground style game for another 10 years I'll be happy knowing I've got this to come back to rather than the really graphically dated NFSU games.
    Just among all the complaints and poor reviews I thought I'd throw this out there as I was really on the fence about even trying it after reading them. But really, for anyone not sure but considering it, if you were a big fan of the NFSU games I really recommend not missing this one.

    Ghost games did impressive with the game. The visuals look almost realistic with the car models, cop chases are more reasonable, and customization is back in a big way. However there are minor fps drops which are really not as impactful and the game is indeed online but there is not much issues other than my internet.

    The game uses FMV (Full Motion Video) for the Cutscenes even though    Ghost games did impressive with the game. The visuals look almost realistic with the car models, cop chases are more reasonable, and customization is back in a big way. However there are minor fps drops which are really not as impactful and the game is indeed online but there is not much issues other than my internet.

    The game uses FMV (Full Motion Video) for the Cutscenes even though they are corny but they were never meant to be serious. You can sometimes understand what there intentions are. The FMV Cutscenes are also meant to be for mission expansion.

    A.I. rubber banding is indeed involved with the game. The A.I. cars meant to keep up at your speed so if you want to play with a crappy Volvo, you may possibly win a race.

    Missions are straight forward. Sprints, Circuits, Time Trials, Drift Trials, Drift Races, Gymkhanas.

    The game is online and I am somewhat disappointed since sometimes my internet just can't handle it sometimes.

    Eddie is in the game as well and you can earn his car for free if you beat him. Manual transmission is back and even though I dont use it, I'm pretty sure would love to use it.

    Customization is outstanding. You can customize the front bumpers, back bumpers, body kits, side skirts, rims, tire treads, exhaust tips, bonnet hoods, splitters, trunk lids, diffusers, front fenders, back fenders, headlights, backlights, window tint, color, vinyls, preset wraps, and soon to come "neon lights".
    Customization is the most realistic kind, only with aftermarket brands. Some cars have lots of customization, some have little, and a little have not at all. There are 53 cars in the game but the objective of the cars is perfecting not collecting. The cars also are built inside the game. Your customized car can be in the cutscene.

    The career is split into 5 ways to play. Speed, Style, Build, Crew, Outlaw. The main elements in Need For Speed. With real life icons and actors who look up to these people.

    Police chases are not as aggressive as what was in NFS Rivals but more fairer, less buggy and more playable. Roadblocks, spike strips, and the actual cruisers feel more realistic and fun. Some roadblock slow you down but you still pass them, while roadblocks made with cement blocks and rhino units are impossible to pass unless you find an extra road. The pursuit levels come into 5 levels. You can simply pay a fine and get the pursuit over with but that's not as fun. You need to pester them enough in order to get on with the pursuit. While starting in a pursuit, you are chased by 1 cop, but overtime you will be chased by a few more. The largest amount I've seen was 7 and trust me cops aren't as easy to get ride of at a decently customized ride. Unlike other games where is easy to destroy some low level cars, trying to do that is almost impossible. Just don't try to take 'em out you may get busted.

    Pros:
    Surreal Graphics
    Awesome racing
    Simple story line
    Easy to learn hard to master
    The ultimate return
    Amazing sounds

    Sometimes EA Games releases a new series of NFS game which is not as good as previous one and this is the case. This is an attempt to add Underground style to Rivals and that's it. I didn't like the story, too naive and the scenes are pretty boring. Anyways this is something I play right now waiting for the new one.

For some stupid reason, in NFS it happens ALOT and now you fall off the "world" into blackness which results in another huge load screen. Load screens are already very very very long. You load the game up and it takes about 1-2 min to load your garage. You then hit escape to leave the garage and its another 2-3 min load screen (around 2 min prob). You get driving which is good.. but don't go too fast or the world stops rendering and you fall off and crash (which ruins your race) as you go to another load screen for about a minute (which came off your time if you were in a race/time trial etc)
    Just strange design decisions and I'm also running on top end system (1080GTX, 8 core 4.2ghz processor, `16 GB RAM) Game was also stuttering every few seconds which would drive anyone crazy who is trying to drive at 200+ mph through city streets.. turned out I had to disable Origin in game.
    Its a good game it just seems like they put alot of intentional garbage in there to keep you from enjoying it. Also there are no more random AI racers in the world that you can challenge.

    Certainly not the worst game in the series, but had the potential to be so much more. However, this is a BIG improvement from Rivals. Online play is fun and not demanding like Rivals was. The levelling system keeps you pushing for the next level all the time too. If you're disappointed in the latest works from the NFS team, this may put that smile back on your face!

    This is obviously an unfinished game. For me the worst thing it has is the lack of wheel controller support, something that's been around for over 20 years. Clearly EA is becoming too quick to grab their customers' money, and don't really care about their reputation being sinking so much lately. If I still had the chance, I'd return the game. Even if I had got it as a gift.

    First of all, the handling. It ruins the entire game. You can tell this game has been created for casuals as the road constantly has a driving line plastered onto it which you cant turn off, and when you steer off the suggested driving line slightly your car actually drags you back over to it! which takes away all sense of control over the vehicle...

    Then there's the drifting mechanic... It's shockingly bad. There is no in between with this game, either you're in full on drift mode or your car has severe understeer which sends your car smashing into wall and there's nothing you can do about it other than just grind along the wall until the car corrects itself.

    Story - Non existant. Ridiculous constant phone calls from your 'friends' who talk absolute mindless ****

    This game is bad on many aspects.
    First, AI is a disaster, no matter how many hp you have, your opponents will always race as fast as you. Second, the map is not big at all, and looks always the same! I can never remember where I am because of that. Third, it's always dark and raining. There isn't a day-night cycle.    We all want NFS to be good again, well, we'll still have to wait.

    Fourth, the handling is very strange. If you use drift setups, you'll start to drift randomly and very weirdly. If you choose grip setups, the driving is boring as hell. Moreover, the story is a joke and the races and other missions are boring.

The real good things about this game would definitely have to be the graphics, it looks absolutely amazing both in the cars and in the environments. The actual racing is pretty fun too, but only the actual racing segments (Sprint Races, Time Attack, ect.) are fun and remind you of what Need For Speed is all about.

    Unfortunately graphics and decently fun races are hampered down by pretty much everything else. First off this game focuses entirely too much on drifting and hooning to the point where it doesn't feel like a NFS game anymore. Drifting has some of the worst mechanic's ever in any racing game and has one of the most annoying race types ever; Drift Train. Drift Train requires you to stay close to the pack of racers and drift to gain points and if you venture too far ahead or behind you cannot accumulate any points, it's stupid.

    Another huge annoyance in this game is definitely the A.I. I find it to be just as bad as Need For Speed Underground 1's A.I. due to the incredibly unfair rubber band A.I. (and this is apparently after it was toned down a bit.... yeah right!). It doesn't matter how upgraded your car is, the computer controlled cars will always be right there behind you waiting for you to slip up on one turn so they can blow by you and get ridiculous distance on you to the point where it seems impossible to catch them at all.

    It has other small annoyances like awful physics (tap a wall, you wreck while other times you bounce..), cheesy live action cut-scenes, lackluster soundtrack, unfair challenges, and having to online at all times that overall just make the game less fun the more you progress through the game.

    Hopefully one day a patch will be implemented to fix some of these annoyances (especially the A.I.!), but until then I'm going to keep this game deleted off of my PS4 and venture off to other racing games instead. Buy this game at your own risk.    … Expand

I mean, how much sophistication are you gonna get out of street racing personalities? I actually enjoy hearing the voices come through the "phone" when I'm burning through the city streets...adds to a feeling of being part of an underground movement, a little bit anyways.

    Customization is pretty much at my level...not too heavy handed. I never was very good at deep cut tuning and I'm glad the game offers much for those of us who just want to bolt on some power and put it out there on the streets. NFS Shift 2 was waaay too punishing for those tuning noobs like myself :)

Visual customization is also lacking. Many cars have very few options for body parts. Some parts are not even possible to change. Lastly the handling customizations don't seem to make much of a difference. Handling of cars is very difficult at times and can be frustrating.

    Game play is fun with exceptional graphics, but it is pretty easy to beat most opponents. The AI is lacking especially the cops. I have never once been pulled over. I can completely wreck my car in front of them and still not get arrested. I have even witnessed cops spawning out of thin air right in front of me. Like other NFS games you are able to do races in any order which i like but it does mess with the cut scene/storyline in this game; most of which are pointless.

    The drag train races are very difficult too. For one handling is good at best but if you do these races out of order your car has way more power than your crew who you need to stay by for earn points. This genre of race needs more work to be successful. Other in game experiences that need improvement are map markings. It is near impossible to tell if you have collected or finished something as the icons always appear. The one sure way of knowing is by driving to the location and see if there is a check mark on the symbol or not. This should be added to the map. Another feature of the original game i missed is the addition of shortcuts. They are nonexistent .

    Overall this game is a decent try and revamping the original underground series but it needs some serious improvements to live up to the original. If you judge the game by itself overall its not horrible but its not the best. It is enjoyable and looks great but you have to overlook some of the flaws to get the most out of it. If your a fan of the series its worth a look but not at full retail price.    … Expand

    Need for Speed 2015 is developed by Ghost Games after the series took a break for one year, entirely skipping the year of 2014 so that the team of Ghost Games could put all their focus and resources on one big title. Did they deliver? On some fronts, yes. On some other fronts, they didn't.

Did they deliver? On some fronts, yes. On some other fronts, they didn't.

    The positives?
    The presentation and graphics in this game are top notch. Ghost Games already showed what the Frostbite 3 engine could do in NFS: Rivals in 2013, but this game blows it away.

    Car customization is finally back in this NFS. It's the most extensive customization system since NFS:Carbon back in November 2006, almost 10 years ago. It is not quite on the same levels as Carbon, or even NFS: Underground 2. It is more or less on the same level as NFS: Most Wanted (2005). Which is still good.

    The physics are arcade-y and can be customized to your liking. You can fine tune every single component or you can just slide the main slider if you're not in the mood. You like heavy drifts? Crank that slider all the way to the left! You prefer more grip? Slide that baby to the right. Very NFS: Most Wanted (2005) and Carbon like.

    Great city design and layout. Ventura Bay is a fun city to ride through.

    The Bad stuff?

    First off, the soundtrack.
    It has some great songs and artists like, Run The Jewels with "Blockbuster Night pt.1" a couple of good aggressive EDM bangers and the one decent song off of Refused disappointing comeback album. But that's maybe 10 out of 50 tracks. It's one dimensional. All of the other songs just blend and bleed in one another. One generic D'n'B beat to another.

    The city feels "not alive". Barely any NPC's and traffic to be found in the world. Even the cops are complete pushovers!

    Rubberbanding. I don't mind subtle rubberbanding to keep the player away from slacking off, but it can get outright ridiculous (and at times unfair) in this game.

    Always online.
    Just why? NFS: Most Wanted (2012) and Rivals had the same, if not more dedicated online services and modes than this game, yet those game could be played offline by default. There was absolutely no benefit to make this always online. No new things are introduced. There are too few players in your server to make everything feel "alive" or "dynamic". Plus, they can interrupt your races...great. And when the servers have to go down for maintenance you have no chance to finish your race and cash in your earnings.

    Fantastic.

    Another issue is that there are less events/races in this game compared to past NFS games. This might sound like a nitpick, but the game is slightly lighter on content when compared to past titles. But the devs will release extra content for free with updates, so...

    Overall, Need for Speed (2015) is a fun arcade racer that oozes with style, but is ridden with many annoyances and questionable design choices.    … Expand

The game isn't perfect though: It requires an internet connection, and can't be paused, not even during a race. Also one another thing that I found tedious, is that how ''lame'' the cops can be, this is really frustrating especially when completing the ''outlaw'' missions. I really enjoyed this game and I think that this is what the next NFS games should be.

The selection of cars is quite big to so any kind of car fan should be able to find a car he or she likes. Each car also handles slightly different but with the upgrade system in the game you are able to tweak a car to your preferences. The process of choosing the car you wanted to build up, saving up the money and then upgrading was one of the most enjoyable parts of the game. Then once you start racing with said car the game really starts coming together. Seeing your creation in motion is awesome and usually inspires you to go buy another car and do it all over And you will need to in the game. It has multiple types of races from Circuit,Sprint,Drift,Drift Train and so much more, So it can be hard trying to build one car that can do it all. The Driving in NFS is defiantly something more related to a arcade racing game but is still enjoyable. Fans of more realistic driving games may find it hard at first to adjust. The streets you race on seem to always be wet or it's raining so drifting and sliding around cars and corners is easy and fun buy at times in the wrong car or turn things become difficult. Later in the game you can run into some extremely uneven races and challenges that may become frustrating and sadly trying to "Restart" A race just makes you reload to before the race start and then load the race all over again, This becomes Extremely frustrating after only a few times and is a major oversight. The story to the game isn't very interesting and is told thought live action cinematics like previous games and sadly almost every-time the actors are horrible and it's no different this time around. The game also forces you to always be online so you can't pause the game and if you ever lose internet in the middle of a race...well to bad.

I love racing, driving, anything involving driving and going fast, and the racing in this game does nothing for me. That leads me to thisI am a huge racing fan and have played most of the NFS games. This was my first NFS game on the next gen, and I have to say I am just a little bit disappointed. First off, the way I would sum up this game is that it is just fine, fine being the key word. I love racing, driving, anything involving driving and going fast, and the racing in this game does nothing for me. That leads me to this games biggest problem. The racing mechanics itself are AWFUL. Yes, I am aware this is an arcade style game, and I have played many other NFS games in the past and haven't had these complaints. I'll do a pro/con for this game, as that seems to be a popular way to review things.

    Pros: Well, sadly, I have to say one of the pros for me is that I purchased this for $28 with the gold discount, so I saved myself at least 20 bucks. I would have been pissed paying full retail. Ability to upgrade cars appearance and handing is also a plus, and have been improved since prior installments.

    The "fine" area: Most aspects of the game are just fine, such as the graphics, city layout, and cut scenes. Game looks good enough to not make you bring it up, but not good enough that you feel the need to go and tell people how amazing It looks. Same with the city. Reminding me of Forza Horizon map, with game missions be poorly set up, often finding yourself driving cross map for the next mission. Cut scenes are fine, they add a different touch and this is a video game after all who really cares that much, didn't make me dislike the game

    Cons: Driving is atrocious. I would like to say I am an experienced and very capable racer. This games driving has to be some of the worst I have ever experienced. Even with hours of practice, adjusting the handling settings every which way, the mechanics just plain suck. The controller lags behind your inputs, making weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds very challenging to do cleanly as you never feel in control of the car. YES, I am aware of this supposed to be an arcade racer, but it can be handled much better. Secondly, no pause button kind of sucks, especially early on when you try to read these paragraphs of information they pop out in front of you while you are driving, distracting the hell out of you. Thirdly, the phone calls are yes kind of annoying, but not as bad as the driving. Lastly, the requirement to always be online is definitely a minus, especially when their is no dedicated true multiplayer events, slightly detracts from the overall experience in my opinion.    … Expand

    1- O tempo todo online.
    2- O multiplayer é impraticável, além ter muito lag, fiquei quase uma hora com um amigo na party tentando fazer com que ele entrasse na minha sessão. Não é possível criar uma sessão privada, você joga o tempo todo com aleatórios, e tem que ter sorte para que a sessão que você foi inserido esteja vazia, caso contrário, terás que esperar um bom tempo até que alguém ceda a vaga pois não conseguirás entrar em nenhuma outra sessão (mesmo as sessões vazias aparecem como “cheias” quando você tenta dar join. Totalmente bugado.

    5- A polícia é extremamente burra. É sério. Parei de jogar com 80% de conclusão do jogo, pois havia uma missão na qual eu devia furar dois bloqueios policias e os malditos bloqueios não apareciam!!! Se você tem um carro potente, deves andar a 120km/h em linha reta para que a policia consiga lhe acompanhar. Eu fiquei cerca de 10 minutos fazendo zerinho em torno da maldita viatura e não apareciam reforços, ela não me prendia, se eu acelerasse um pouco já saia da vista dela. Existem dezenas de pontos negativos no jogo, mas esse pra mim foi o mais fatal.
    6- É impressão minha ou só existem 4 músicas no jogo inteiro?
    7- Custa em torno de 250,00 R$ no Brasil. Eu pensaria de novo em comprar se custasse apenas R$ 100,00.
    8- A cidade parece vazia, você anda quilômetros e não vê nenhum carro no tráfego.

    + NFS about streetracing: been awhile, can feel fresh when playing.
    + Cars modifications. They did really good job here, and we are even having neon in upcoming patch. If you wanted to make your dream car, this is the game for you.
    + Video. Well, the story isn't good this time, but we have videos with actors - it's rare for racing game.

    All these mentioned above can add a good touch to the game, but this doesnt make the game! The big problem lies in gameplay and interaction with the game/players, and it is hella bad.

    - Physics model. STOP MAKING RACING GAMES ON BUGGY **** FROSTBITE. The worst driving feel I ever had in racing games. The adjusting bar from drift to grip is a trap - grip car barely moves, and just turns much slower compared to drift, hence forcing you to drift. And you can barely control the car, you just don't feel it touching the ground. Like you are driving a big chunk of soap instead of a car. This is essential. You get no satisfaction from driving - game will suck, no matter how much other stuff you added (and there was not enough stuff added). You can get used to it, but it is just a pain in ass, you basically try to withstand the driving experience instead of enjoying it.

    - Main "bosses" of the game. I can see where the whole budget gone, seeing those people all invited and playing in videos. And it is bad. Not that they play bad, no, they are awesome. The thing that you dont get satisfaction from winning the important race. When you win let's say, Ken Block, you don't achieve **** - he says something that you are a cool guy. That's all. You play the game to show off to some random dude. Not to defeat, escape, dominate, put any word that brings up competitive spirit. You just don't give a **** This ruins story and motivation.

    -Always online and multiplayer overall. You have to be always online (apparently because of twitter integration, for **** sake, what games have become these days), which is ofc bad, but well, not a big deal. The serious problems come with actual multiplayer. Bringing and starting race with your friend can be pain in ass, but hell, I will endure it. Developers stepped on the big mine, made a huge mistake for the sake of "broader appeal". Anyone can join your race in the middle of it. and some races can happen on the same area. Most of the time, some random retard just smashes into your car from nowhere, block the road and just pisses off. Different races can occur at the same area, and not phased out - you **** up each other's races. Gratz, EA.

    - Videos are weird, most of them show some random clubs, conversations, more clubs, some fastfood restaurants, etc. With some people talking **** barely related to game. They don't show actual cars (unless you are in your garage), some racing, nothing.

    - Police is disgustingly weak. No reaction, bad driving, they are even unavailable in some regions of the map. Strong feeling that they were added in a last second "just to be there", and made easy enough so your 7 yo would be not too overwhelmed. The heck, Finding police is harder than escaping them. Throughout the game I NEVER got caught. They cant catch you even with destroyed tires.

    - AI. Second big complain after driving model, AI sucks balls deep. They are weak, stupid, always crash and **** up your drifting-driving(even ally, yes, you have team races). In addition, there is the most retarded "balance" system in racing games. Cars teleport and gain light speed shamelessly. Just check your minimap - No matter how the car crashes, your enemy teleports somewhere behind you, gains SUPERB acceleration out of nowhere, just to reach you and be near you, just to catch enother "tree" again.

    - Bugs, or more like frostbite shenanigans physics point two. Car tends to glitch out when doing a jump from small ramp, etc. Car can collide with invisible bull**** when you are turning. Car collision itself made retardedly.

    - Graphics. It's not that visuals are not beautiful, oh they are. Very bad lightning job. Too much extra effects on the road and world, which are not lightning sources - same problem was carbon, and on high speeds you basically can't see **** Usually you can barely see your car to be honest - not a single light source highlight your car externally, and car's light fades off hard from random blue-purple-gray bull**** happening on the road.

    Decent try. It could be a good game if developers actually had more time to fix problems. Games definitely feels rushed. Few cars, not fixing obvious problems (driving, police, physics) makes game barely enjoyable. Do not buy this game. Wait for some kind of discount and patches with content - but I really doubt that developers will release patch which will fix AI or driving mod    … Expand

    Since i have just finished the game i thought i would do a review about it. I wouldn't say i was disappointed but i wouldn't say this was an amazing game.

    The story of the game was pretty average really, at first you get drawn in and cut scenes are pretty interesting to watch but as time goes by you start to not really care and gets boring by the time you reach the end of the game but i think thats down to the very annoying phone calls that you get every 5 minutes and it really does start to get right on my man knockers. You would be doing a really intense high speed race then (RKO) out of nowhere *ring ring.... ring ring* RAGEEEEEEEEEE!

    Now its time for the dreaded drift train race. I enjoyed doing all different races apart from this one. On most times i was forced to restart the event because of the useless horrible AI that kept taking me out and ruining my drift score. When you're trailing behind the racers they go so slow that you're forced to overtake them so you can build up enough speed to get a decent drift score on a corner but because of this "rubber band" none-sense the AI decide to pick up speed because you're ahead and take you out with your drift score. It got to the point where i just had no interest what so ever in doing these races at all.

    The graphics are unbelievable on this game with the street and car lights reflecting off the wet roads and the rain effects on your car is one of the highlights for me. I haven't really seen graphics this good before on any other game so far.
    For me though one of the great things about this game is the customization on the cars, as a big fan of Forza series and Test Drive Unlimited 2 customization is one of the things i truely love about racing games and Need For Speed just it perfectly. I have already spent many many hours just messing about with customizing the many cars you can buy.

    Overall i would say this is an average game. They are heading in the right direction but many things and features still have room for improvement.    … Expand

    The story line dialog is one thing...horrible...absolutely horrible. Unnecessarily drags out the time you have to wait to finally play.

Automatic transmission kills the game. With Nissan GTR 1000 hp+ couldnt win race against stock looking 180sx because transmission choose gear like for sunday driving. Barely could reach 100mph with car 1000hp++. Swiched to r34 which was a lot faster. Noticed rx7 has some control issues. Suddenly car turns left or right. Lets hope new patch gonna fix it.… Expand

    I suggest that anyone scoring this more than 6 either doesn't engage in the game completely, does not possess a competitive edge or worse still, has some alternative investment for doing so.

    My first review, after a few days, looks generous; but now, almost 3 weeks on and perhaps a little over 200 hours play [shared between xbox and ps4], I'm struggling to rate it any higher than 4/10    I suggest that anyone scoring this more than 6 either doesn't engage in the game completely, does not possess a competitive edge or worse still, has some alternative investment for doing so.

    My first review, after a few days, looks generous; but now, almost 3 weeks on and perhaps a little over 200 hours play [shared between xbox and ps4], I'm struggling to rate it any higher than 4/10

    So lets get the source of these 4 points out of the way:
    It has a very acceptable choice of cars, modifications and handling dynamics [1point.] There is a good variety of events, from easy to very challenging, and in the main they are enjoyable [1 point] The vinyl editor is fiddly and limited but with patience plus creativity, you can just about achieve anything [1 point] There is the environment, themed as it is, a bit on the gloomy side, but large enough, varied enough and interesting enough [1 point]

    Now, the pointless;
    I will start with the glaringly obvious statement of 'This is a racing game' and, as the game and franchise reminds us, there is a 'Need For Speed.' For the casual player this is perhaps not an issue but for those of us who vigorously compete against all-comers, it is vital that the Speedwalls give us the information required and are geared up for competitive racing. This means event completion times need to, and must, go beyond minutes & seconds, we simply must have tenths & hundredths of seconds, maybe even thousandths. This level of accuracy is vital, these fractions are the difference between being first and being the first loser; the rivalry that exists in online racing is intense. The speedwall should also be available automatically & immediately after an event ends without having to wait around 10 seconds for the cinematic to return you to 'free-roam' and without having to perform 3 actions to view the updated information. The first thing a racer wants to know once they hit that finish line is 'how did I do & how does that affect my position' Perhaps every Speedwall should be 'topped' with the 'World Record' for that event?

    I get so annoyed that games are released with so many flaws, bugs and glitches. When a blockbuster Movie is released it is finished and polished, it is the definitive article; not so with games it appears, and certainly not the last 2 instalments of 'Need For Speed'. If one player can find so many flaws in 2 weeks of playing you must ask yourself “how come the production teams never spotted them?” or did they? And if they did, why aren't they fixed before release? The lure of the Lira?, the must be out in time for Christmas sales? Or worst still, a two-fingers up to the customers and an acceptance of this is as good as it gets .. warts an all.

    We have 'route-tracks' to lead us through the events but many are very poorly placed, follow them at your peril. There are checkpoints in absurd places, some of which, if you drive a 'racing-line' you will miss completely and effectively your race is over. There are 'invisible hazards on race tracks that either stop you dead, make you crash or launch you like a missile into the air. The starts to events are awful, as you come out of the cinematic, you can be face to face with a truck or even facing in the wrong direction. The 'multiplayer' [again, just like in Rivals] is totally impractical and can only be achieved with careful planning and an absurd routine. It's sad that games such as GTA V can handle all of these issues flawlessly and yet, a much more dedicated racing franchise fails miserable on all points.

    A car racing game with no steering-wheel support, no manual gears and unbelievably, no car horn [which was about the only one sure way to attract the attention of your fellow lobby players]

    Of course I'm nit-picking, I paid plenty of money for an over-hyped average game with AI cars that attack you on every turn, trucks with 5-watt tail lights that are set like traps for you to impact into at 370km/h and cars suddenly spawning right in front of you as you hurtle down the freeway or canyon winds. 'Collectibles' that are lame, tame and pointless [literally], sweeping blue-light flashes that constantly blind you as you approach that right-hander at great speed [where one of them trucks will be waiting] off course this is all more noticeable once you have passed the cinematic story and the constant phone calls and messages and have entered the realm of racing against your peers.

    How about a little more customisation on all cars, some offer very little indeed. In the vinyl editor, give us some manufacturers decals and badges, a few different fonts and a more precise control over placement. Those garages! Why cant we drive through them and have our damaged cars made good, like we did in Most Wanted or Rivals. Why is there no 'photo-mode', we love taking photos of our custom rides.

    Finally, I ask myself this question “ are the developers, producers, EA Games, Ghost Games, all happy with the work they have done on this game. Are they satisfied that they have produced the best they could but more importantly, how can they not see the issues I do?”

    Every single time we hear the same proclamation ”we listen to you, the players” .. okay, listening is fine but do us a favour, take what you hear, learn from your mistakes, scour the best things from other titles, take the advice from the experts and make the next one awesome .. it may be your final opportunity.    … Expand

When I first found out that they were going to release a new Need for speed game (or an actual reboot of the underground series) and they were actually going back to the good old NFS roots, my inner child burst out with    I was really looking forward to this game, but maybe I was expecting a Little bit too much.
    My overall conclusion is that this game doesnt deliver what it promised. When I first found out that they were going to release a new Need for speed game (or an actual reboot of the underground series) and they were actually going back to the good old NFS roots, my inner child burst out with excitement and hope for the NFL's future games (which turned out to be a rather dangerous cocktail) because my inner child ended up sitting in the corner and crying. What should have been a "good nostalgic back to childhood trip" was instead an empty feeling and a feeling of regret. I couldnt simply feel that the old roots came to life in this game. But there is at least 3 positive things about this game!

    1. Graphics: The Graphics in this game is absolutely amazing, they did a really good job when it comes to this part. Sometimes the Graphics almost look life like and some parts of the game is absolutely breathtaking. But good Graphics doesn't necessarily make a good solid game.

    2. Costumization: This part is a 50/50 for me, there is some cars where there is tons of customization, but sadly there are some cars where you barely can do anything to them and that destroyed the experience for me, and I am a big fan of customizing. It's not fun when you buy a good old Volvo 242 GT and then you can barely do anything to it, what you can do to it doesnt make it look any special and that's a shame. They promised a lot of costumization, but they somehow forgot to tell us that it only included some particular cars, and thats heartbreaking to find out, especially if you are a really big fan of costumization in racing games. But overall what you can do to some of the cars are absolutely amazing so thats why it ends up on the positive list.

    3. The sound: Great sound, doesnt sound fake, it gives a good rush hearing your car roaring through the streets.

    Now to the negatives!

    1. Story and cutscenes: The story is poor, but its hard to even make a story when the game is about cars and underground street racing so I can slightly forgive that. The cutscenes on the other hand which are in the live-acition category are embarrasing and skip-over worthy, sure the actors do their best, but it ends up sounding and looking fake. To me there shouldnt have been any kind of cutscenes at all, NFS Carbon did a good job with the live-action cutscenes, but this?....

    2. Phone Calls, phone calls and more phone calls: If it wasn't for the last negative part on this list, this would be the most irritating thing about this game. You can barely race to the corner of a street without getting a bunch of phone calls on the way, and its mostly about complete nonsense, and it's not necessary. Getting 3-4 phone calls in a row is just annoying and irritating. Texts would have been better, but this is just frustrating.

    3. Ventura Bay: Ventura Bay is beautifull, but sadly dead. Even a Little village on the countryside has more life than whole Ventura Bay itself. The map is big, but mostly it's motorways which gets boring driving on one motorway to the other to get to a sertaint point on the map, fast travel saves this point.
    I missed traffic, there is barely any traffic and for me the cops was a bit too easy to outrun, at least they could give me a bit more challenge.

    4. Steering: The steering is overall bad, you have the choice with making your car drifting or gripping, but if I wanted to make my car steerable, I had to make it between drift and grip, but a little bit more on the drift side. It you make it total grip you end up hitting a wall, and if you make it too much drift, then you also end up hitting a wall sooner og later.

    5. No time for pause!: Yep there is no pause option in this game, tried to find it but failed, I tried to go on the map because I thought maybe that it would be the way I could pause the game, but my car was still driving when I went to the map screen and it ended up hitting a wall.
    So if you play this game and it is during a race and you have to take a Little trip to the toilet, well then you have to hold on until the race is finished.

    6. Online only!: Last but not least, this game is an online game only!
    If you dont have an internet connection you simply cant play the game and if you have a really really bad internet connection then be prepared to get pissed because then you will be thrown out of the party if the internet goes off. The online is good if you want to play with many other people, but it should have been an option. when I played this game all the people that were in my game minded their own business, I didn't invite them for race and they didnt invite me so the online only is simply useless for most people if they just want to play their own game.

    This game has potential and its hitting in the right direction now, but has a long way to go before I will dive into the NFS univers again! This game needs a lot of improvement.    … Expand

    - Finished all the 'story' stuff in a week. Now what? Race other people online? Nope. There is NOTHING left to do. Let it gather dust until DLC comes out.

    They REALLY need to add online events, I hate to say it. and add some expensive cars and special things, long term goals that can only be gotten from racing online, otherwise the 'always online' thing is a complete and blatant anti piracy method.

    It has alot of potential but it needs some more work. They need to fix the drift mechanics and steering in general - the game tries to predict it and 'assist you', (even with all assists off) when it thinks you're trying to drift and pushes the car. And you will slam into a wall for no apparent reason. Over and over and over.

    - When you're in a high speed race, you will not be able to turn the wheel fast enough. and AI will always be able to take high speed turns better than you. You will never be able to turn the tires far enough, no matter your tuning, on certain turns (exit ramps). you will have to try to drift, or slow down to excruciatingly slow speeds and let all the ai pass you.    … Expand

    Game is always online when it doesnt need to be. Getting dropped from a single player race because you lost connection ruins the experience. Customization saved this game, but its still a bit buggy. Graphics are top-notch. Final review, not worth $80. I'd happily pay $40 max.

    This is one of the best racing games since 2010. It has everything that must be in it. Good customization, nice open world, amazing graphics and it's very pleasant to just drive. But the story isn't very good, but that doesn't matter at all. If you want a good racing game on PS4, buy it.

    Im not the biggest racing Fan, but I always loved NFS, especially "Underground", so I was really lookin forward to this "follow-up".

Afrer all Ive read and heard on the net, all the &%$§-storm about the always-on and things like that, and two of my friends that bought the game and said that it is amazing, I just bought it myself, and I didnt regret it, in fact, the new NFS is absolutely fantastic.
    The graphics look stunning, the soundtrack is as pushy as you would expect, and there are tons of customization and upgrade options. The actual racing in the open world of Ventura is typical NFS: theres the annoying rubber band AI, there are the Drift Events, and there are your friends, your "Crew", which is by far the best feature of the game - you can team up with your friends as a crew and drive around and do events together - which is way more fun than playing solo, when played in coop, many of the games annoyances are just irrelevant and it is just plain fun.
    I can understand that some are mad about the "always online" thing, and I am also disappointed by some minor things: I really miss those Drag Racing Events, and Im a bit disappointed that there are relatively less cars than expected, Im missing some brands here and there. Sadly theres also no option to turn of the in-game phone, which rings constantly and can drive you insane, just in real life LOL
    Those things are minor flaws, and I can think of EA patching/fixing those things after all those raging people on the net. There will be free DLC as well, so hopefully we get some new cars and events as well.
    I can wholeheartedly recommend the new NFS to ANYONE that is interested, especially when you have some friends to play with. The overall style of the game is extremely appealing, although those (skippable) cutscenes are .. well, a bit "cheesy" haha ^^ NFS plays and looks stunningly good, is a major improvement over "Rivals" and deserves to be called "Underground3"    … Expand

    Well, where to begin...

    This game tried hard, and it fell flat. I had a friend recommend it to me the day before it came out and I went against my better instinct and bought it.

    -To say disappointing is an understatement. It was heralded as a beautiful game, but alas I found the textures themselves to be a bit low quality and times and had frequent FPS stutters to the point of failing a specified objective (which I should also mention lacked any sort of variety, as often times you repeat the same 3 mission times in a story where no real story exists and the PBR of the main cast through scene capture is truly horrid.

    -The game is placed on a pedestal from other games (or at least as it is advertised), for being versatile in car manipulation and handling. The game gives you full wield over customizing your car's handling, but often times you will spend hours trying to perfect an imperfect system, in which things are often black or white in turns of true implications of any sort of modification. The result is a weird combination of feelings that more often or not lack substance.

    -The one decent thing in this game is the customization, but even that lacks substance. It limits itself to branding and other trivial things that no one with taste would really want to put on their car. It could be improved. Also, on a side note, car color is wonky and the sliders for adjusting color are both time consuming and ineffably inefficient.

    Conclusion: I tried my hardest to like this game, and failed.
    Result: Returned it and got my money back. I recommend you do the same.    … Expand

    Good old Underground! It's actually a Underground 3. I advise everyone who loves the modern car culture and street drift. Tuning, graphics, gameplay - everything is just awesome. Participation #Speedhunters clearly went for the benefit of the series. My score - honest 8 points.

    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]
