7:22 handling was simplistic, all the cars felt identical to drive. But it was still better than Ghost-era brake to drift.

[@kam945]

Bro, ghost also did BRAKE2DRIFT. Here every car drives different.

[@thesprawl2361]

Bingo. It was at least fun. Give me fun over the painful attempts to be simple and realistic at the same time, which seem to be every non-Criterion NFS I've ever played. You can't be simple and realistic at the same time. Either invest in a proper physics model, like Horizon, or go for simple, like Burnout. But don't do this dog's dinner handling model that NFS Heat and The Crew have where they try and make the cars feel weighty but then give them stopping distances measured in centimetres and let Civics turn like F1 cars.

Man i remember playing the hell outta the MP. Loved the airport & the speedlists stuff. Wasnt perfect but i thought it was the last good MP NFS had. Just need a great open world map with a large player count.

[@DysphoriaRL]

The speedlists were HUGE. No NFS after 2012 had this, or hardly any multiplayer at all and its been so boring. No replayability. 2012's multiplayer was almost perfect when you lool back at it

[@featherpheasant3851]

I love this game when I was a kid, and still do because of nostalgia

[@RedHunter2296]

My favorite game is Need For Speed 2015. I loved the vibe that was more in line with the underground series and the Tunner scene. The atmosphere that the idea was a group of friends having fun during the night seemed nice to me. A group of friends competing for fun and love of cars. The art of the game is excellent, almost realistic, but that is why there is no day in that game since it was designed to only be at night. Now, the execution was disastrous. The Frostbite game engine was at its limit, it almost never works with fast cars as they travel faster than the game can load the map. The driving system works great for slow cars, the starters. But when you have a fully upgraded car it is impossible to drive it. And that it requires permanent connection was what killed it completely. Supposedly the game was designed to make a kind of MMO, but it shows that this was not the original idea and that it was something that EA forced them to implement.

@@notoriousvillain2962 its not a good game to play as there is no progression, just beating most wanted racers is that it really ? No look at black panthaas last video of this game he said its the worse game ever as he said it is a burnout game and he is right there.

Need for speed 2015 was the most boring.

[@john7156]

10:48 looks like you shoved the traffic car into the AI, causing that takedown. I think the cops in this game are enjoyable and not that bad compare to some NFS games like 2015. Criterion’s Most Wanted cops are pretty aggressive and destructive, literally mowing down street lights, fences, city property, and traffic to stop you.

[@N1ckZ]

I like NFSMW2012. I've been playing racing games all my life and I never really cared about customisation in games nor in real life. I like to keep cars stock just like the manufacturers intended them to be. It would have been better if there was some progression though.

I miss the classic NFS legacy, it's quite special. As much as I like customization as well as underground and most wanted, I still love to drive the amazing sports cars stock as they rolled out of a factory and hit the road in a variety of different locations, but you can also put custom paint jobs on your vehicle, which is still awesome, I believe the classic need for speed has done something like this too.

[@brianoconner2501]

Most manufacturers nowadays, like Nissan with NISMO, actually sell in house tuning parts for cars. They don't "intend" for people to keep them stock...unless you're Ferrari 😅 That being said, customization is personal preference. 👌🏾

This game is still my favorite NFS game ever. I watched others play the game before I could play it myself, and it was awesome. I was young, so the idea of having every car at the start was amazing to me, and it still is now. I just play this game for the driving, its fun, and the sense of speed in this game is one of the best I've ever seen. 150mph feels fast, 100mph feels fast, and even 80mph is fast in tight tunnels or narrow streets. Also, no game comes close to the car sounds in this game and the graphics are amazing for a 2012 game. If this game wasn't titled "Most Wanted" it may have been one of the best and most loved games in the series.

[@F3rrarikinqq]

This is one of my favorite entries in the series!! I remember to keep myself entertained I would just purposely have the police chase me all around the map on the highway. It was so much fun, especially when they dropped the F&F DLC for it. I’ve been dying to play it again since PS3

@@drift_works I believe HP 2011 did it better, the handling is basically lifted from that, but it was designed around hot pursuits more flowy map, so you avoided the constant crashes. The police in the game were pretty persistant, and the health felt like it added some depth to your driving. The police mode was great and 2011 actually was similar to the games it shared its name with. I loved MW2012, but it was a mish mash of HP2011 and burnout, and while that did give it some great qualities (like multiplayer) it also did have its issues

The error that made this game become the most hated of the franchise is by the name, like, bro any other name and no one gets angry.
