James' german showcasing And his honest to god reaction to Eden's Miata, plus the fact he managed to throw his phone backwards instead of forward is the cherry on top of this video

[@terrazicaio]

As someone who finished HEAT with only RX-7 for street racing, a miata for drifting and a impreza for Off-road, i can safely say: Yes, its completely possible. Heck, even with the pumped up cops from UNITE you can still play and win with a max out RX-7 (altough high heat races get really dificult to get first place, but i was playing on a framerate lower than 30 fps)

[@rxzxqx6982]

what's your pc spec? i want to try heat but idk if my pc can handle it or not

[@mageyannik2731]

I used E30 for road, 370z for drift and WRX for offroad and only started buying other cars after finishing the story an it worked just fine.

*There aren’t pink Vitz in missions!!1!1!1!!1!*

[@CyanRooper]

I do think it's possible for the Need for Speed series to have a good progression system that caters to fans of all (or most) car types. The closest we got to that kind of progression system was in Most Wanted 2005 and that game had the benefit of pink slips to help with the progression (yes, I do think abusing the reward card pattern is a gameplay mechanic). Underground 1 is the only other game I can think of with a similarly good progression and that's entirely because of the fact that players could only use one car so they would simply trade cars and carry over the upgrades from the previous car with little money spent (or money received as rebates) and that helped keep the races interesting since you were basically driving over the same tracks over and over again (expecting shit to change. Now that is crazy). Carbon could have had a good progression similar to Most Wanted 2005 if the game had more opportunities for pink slips and the money awarded for completing races on repeats stayed the same instead of being reduced to just $500. Carbon would have benefitted from having mini bosses in the form of other crew members from different crews. They definitely should have let players race against other members of each crew in canyon duels and then give players the chance to win that crew member's car through a pink slip.

[@f1fan3000]

I think that 180sx actually looks pretty good. Got that 2000s D1GP style. I mean that yellow livery without chrome rims.

Ah i remember finishing this game using only 3 cars. I started with the e30 (i remember making it in the app first then shared the livery when the game came out, last i checked a long time ago it had about 150 downloads which i was proud of) until i unlocked the r34. The r34 was my main car for the entire game, i converted the e30 into a drift car and bought the classic mustang for offroad, which i spent maybe 30 minutes making a police livery on it then proceeded to spend nearly as much time vandalizing it with dirt, rust, and grafitti, probably my proudest work for some reason.

[@hnnngv]

Same can be applied to the 180 "if it wasn't a type X" could've started with the E30 if you really wanted to.

[@Sparkcore275]

Finally I found a comment that acknowledged this flawed logic. While yes, the M3 isn’t necessarily a “ricer car” neither should the 180SX by his logic(although the 180SX is cheaper so it arguably fits “better”). Which by the way just to preface, this is Need for Speed so if you want to use certain types of cars for a challenge like this you do have to make exceptions. Like using the M3 E30 as the “low end” BMW or the 180SX as the S13 model of choice. Since while yes in reality these cars aren’t cheap irl they are considered low end with Need for Speed’s in game economy. Not to mention with Need for Speed’s customization you can always make a car like the E30 look “lower end” which would be interesting to kinda see. So yeah if Eden does this challenge again with another NFS game I hope he takes this into consideration.

[@hnnngv]

​@Sparkcore275 ahaha yeah, I only go by this logic because IRL I own an S15 Spec R and a Type X. Hearing him cherry pick the 180 as a "ricer" in comparison to the E30 icked me a little but it does make sense in terms of the history of the car(s) but nowadays in reality, I myself and can only assume other people try to keep their JDM cars as OEM as possible for a clean look. Also they're all so financially detrimenting to even consider ricing up these days.

[@Sparkcore275]

@@hnnngv all in all I don’t think it was a bad idea but cherry picking is a bit obnoxious if you are looking at from a real world view. Since like you said you’re applying real world logic so ricing either car is a bit, odd. With need for speed and it being a video game with a select group of cars it does make sense if you don’t cherry pick. Also if you make it clear that when you pick a car you’re at it as if it was a base model and customize it look lower end it can work since again it’s a video game.
