edit error at 07:20 whoops... Should say "Multiplayer"

[@standisxmc2665]

what does it mean but restarts? on the difficulty

[@wolfy5svn945]

note about nos boosting in the game…it auto grips the road and launches your car in whatever direction your nose is facing. your handling (grip or drift) affects how fast those bars fill while performing those actions its not viable to build a car for both since you sacrifice a maximum boost nos increase for the other…your nos refill fills faster by driving in oncoming traffic since it can be maintained for a longer period of time 😂 don’t take these skills into multiplayer or you’ll just lose every race…in fact id advise most people not to race online until they can manage double dipping the boost nos without using normal nos.

[@gennymanun4881]

Just finished my first run in the story mode. A little tip for people who hate running away from heat level 4 and up cops that just spawn all over the place and don’t leave you alone after a race. First make sure you finish your race so and get all your money. After that just leave the game and come back in. You’ll spawn at a gas station close to Rydell’s Rides you just gotta drive 1000 yards and you’re done. If you’re heat level 5 be careful cause the game will spawn in like 2 corvettes and a regular cop car on your way there. Just cook it to the garage and you’ll be good. Got so tired of having to spend 20 minutes after a race on cop chases and one day I almost got busted so I quit and realized it spawned me in the city close to Rydell’s. Hopefully this helps some people that only want the money to go play with more cars like me screw all that chase nonsense.

I don't think the cops in this game are "easier" per se. I think they've eliminated the artificial difficulty, as now you're able to outmaneuver them via clever driving and killing the engine. So it's improved from bogus to challenging.

[@wolfy5svn945]

nahh spawning cop cars can have a tendency to just continuously keep spawning directly in front of the player if you’re traveling fast enough making a quick sharp turn extremely viable to lose 6 cars and a helicopter at the same time. 😂 in fact losing cops on this game is as easy as driving into oncoming traffic after making sharp turns since all of the cops try to aim for takedowns like a pit maneuver

Bruh I don’t even think the cops or racers are the biggest problem, normal traffic is my actual enemy because I can’t see it until like five seconds before I hit them

[@kjrwalters]

Beat the game. However I found myself spending most of my time just in lengthy cop chases just trying to get to races in the open world. The heat cops were way easier and less annoying. After the story I turned the difficulty down so I could get around the open world gathering collectibles without being in a police chase for an hour between objectives Also on higher heat levels if you are trying to avoid detection they will just spawn an undercover car in front of you to initiate a chase. Very artificial.I was able to get away from them every time in faster cars but after a while it’s just a chore.

[@glenmcl]

Cops got tiring. Especially in daytime. Glad there are none online.

[@kjrwalters]

@@glenmcl yeah at least in nfs heat you could cruise without worry in the day time. i wouldn’t mind them being in online but would just hope they are less abundant. There’s always a patrol of about 5 or 6 cops cruising around wherever you are on the map and you gotta tip toe around them just to drive to your next event.

[@kinsan89]

You can see the little police badge above undercover cops and can thus ram into them and take them down before they spot you as long as you're paying decent attention to the road

[@wolfy5svn945]

😂😂😂 if you pay attention theres an auxiliary to make it take longer before police initiate chase and even with level 5 heat my b class buick can avoid detection if i’m not just sitting in the road idling.

[@CosmicStardust2025]

There is also a little trick on this to entering between classes. You have the same car but lets say its between B and A. If you slightly tune the car to be a bit better, it can boost to an A Class Car to enter the A Class Events. But if you want to do thr B Class Events, just tune it down and it will enter those. Extra thing is that when you race in a lower rate car in a class, the side bet would raise a lot higher. I even used my Polestar 1 from an S Class to S+ in tight turn tracks and bet on A$AP Rocky that he would bet 22k if you beat him. Gets you a quick buck too even if you didn't win the race itself, but if you beat Rocky, you got the extra cash.

[@OldSchoolgamer49]

The one thing I struggle to understand is the race payouts. If I gotta have say $4k for a race buy in to even be allowed to race it then why is the buy in taken out of my winnings??? And what happened to the money I bought in with? Also, Why isn't there heat level bonuses like there was in NFS Heat? I've gotten away from level 5 cops a few times now but never has there been a bonus for doing so when you get back to the garage.

[@ganjacats]

You get the buy in money back if you place high enough to earn a payout from the race. But I absolutely agree that they should bring back the heat multiplier!!!

[@wolfy5svn945]

@@ganjacatsafter escaping a chase the game awards you money for the difficulty of the chase with level 5 giving $1000 each time. your money goes the same place it goes when you gamble irl 😂 you buy in…money is not coming back to you unless you win and as the story blatantly tells you “Alec” fixes the races meaning your buy in goes to him so you can participate lmfaoo winnings are winnings and thus your buyin is always subtracted from your winnings cuz its not coming back. like irl casinos and gambling places are required to pay out a percentage (in a casino its like .8% of every dollar you put in a slot machine) making it entirely possible to run an entire night of races early on and end with a negative net balance. if a race buy in is $8000 late game and winnings are only $16000 for first place its a waste because at best you earn your money back which is why they say “big risk” as well as “big money” if the race doesn’t at least quadruple your buy in then you probably shouldn’t buy in.

When playing multiplayer online is it possible for 2 completely different races to interfere with each other like in NFS Heat?

Definitely has been the most challenging version of the game for me... but enjoying it and it makes it a bit meaningful when I see "personal record" and stuff like that... it really makes you earn the parts/upgrades which can take more time but I suppose I feel I had to earn it vs being a piece of cake even on the easiest difficulty.

Thanks for the amazing vid man, love it! However, I am still confused about the story progression. Currently I am sitting at my 1st bought car and the event on saturday is coming up, and it says I need 4 cars with 4 different tiers, not sure how I am supposed to get the money to buy 3 more cars and fully upgrade them for the event? Another thing, I upgraded my car from tier B to tier A, but now, all the tier B races are locked, how come I cannot play them? Do I exclusively need to match each event with its tier car? Thanks in advance!!

[@DecGames]

Thanks man! Are you on the first week? The week 1 qualifier only requires an A class car! It's "The Grand" at the end of week 4 which will require 4 cars to use in the events, so you've got plenty of time and will have enough cash / cars by then :) For week 1 it'll mainly be "B" class events for the first few days, then later on in the week you'll get some A class events so will need to upgrade. You can revert the upgrades on your current car then pop them back on later into the week. Hope this helps, lmk if you've got anymore questions!

Hi, I used to play NFS Heat back when I was on PlayStation. I then downloaded it a while ago on PC for the memories, and now I can’t stop playing it. It’s sad to see that NFS Heat doesn’t get updated anymore, and it’s very easy to pretty much complete the game, so I was thinking of buying another type of NFS. I heard that “NFS Unbound” was the best one. Is it worth buying? It looks more cartoony than NFS Heat, but maybe that’s just the exhaust effects that I saw (lmk though). But yea, in all conclusion, is it worth buying it? Is the community big enough to have fun with and actually meet people? And so on.

What is weird for me is the car handling. It's totally different from Forza either horizon or motorsport. Also different from Dirt and such. Breaking is very effective in a short amount of meters when compared to Forza for example. And the fact that your rear can go all over the place is another big difference when compared to Forza.

[@coreymckee4844]

They really need to nerf the difficulty of the game. I played on easy and theres a difference between fair/challenging and just unbalanced and unfair. Hard mode also just feels flat out impossible in some races. The rubber banding is also f*cking rediculess!😤😤 I put the game down for now until they can do some rebalancing. Also, money in this game is really unnecessarily hard to get in singleplayer! This needs a fix. It is wayy too difficult to earn money early on. Im still stuck on week 1 of story and earn jack sh*t for money. This is all on easy mode. They need to fix this bullsh*t!

[@ShiningJudgment666]

You kind of need to pick a good car early on or it's a bit of a struggle. Some of the races definitely for some reason feel harder than others. Like I race the same pack yet in some races they're easy but in others they're just obnoxious. I started with the ND Mazda MX-5 and man, it was slow and while it handles quite good, it can't keep up because it lacks power. But once I could upgrade it, it's been a dependable A class car. It can still feel a bit outclassed on higher speed races due to relatively low power but it'll out-maneuver everyone else due to being light. Also the buy ins make the money thing even more annoying because the prizes are lower than they actually are due to the buy-in getting taken off. There's one of the tunnels relatively close to one of the safehouses where it's an easy Heat 5 escape because for some reason the cop cars can't drive through it and you can get 5k per escape with the Get Away Driver upgrade. Otherwise it's 2.5k per escape. It's Pro I believe so you'll need to unlock it. It's not bad for getting a bit of money but it also gets tiresome after a while.
