NFS Unbound - The Worst Online Race I've Been

Network de-sync, drivers using you as brakes and that one guy that only uses 1 car. Your typical Need for Speed online lobbies since 2011. More online lobbies to come so stay tuned.

Side note, can we get an actual matchmaking system to find other people that want to race? I hate being dono-walled. More online races coming.

[@dukhedYT]

I was hoping so much that the Payback speedlists/matchmaking would come back. Why they used that shitty system from NFS Heat is beyond me.

[@racerlord2329]

@@dukhedYT either some people liked it much more than the other two or the devs simply didn’t know how to really handle it and chose the older already existing one instead saving time

[@spyko7z]

​@@dukhedYT is not bad at all, i enjoyed a lot nfs heat but guys 3 races for only 20k$ is a waste of time you need to have 0 life for upgrade your car/garage. And the handling is a shit too i get mad with this game, every corner a fucking traffic car, high speed race on highway? A lot of car blocking the fucking highway. Meanwhile you are on 300+ km/h Game: yeah why not crashing randomly trought a fucking wall?

[@gokussb18]

It would be better if you said, the worst online race I ever had

[@StormravensNest]

NFS Unbound online is just... bad, where I could jump into an actual open world with friends in Heat, you have nothing except collectibles in there, might as well just have a Matchmaking system where you decide the tier and kind of race and then get matchmade with any online players looking for the same thing. The system they are using in Heat made sense in Heat, and now they added loaner cars so you don't even have anything to really work towards, except maybe hardfarming enough money to get an immidiatly mayxed out s+ tier car

This is why casual racing games are so hard to have fun in competitively. There's nothing wrong with wanting a casual experience, but sometimes you just want a clean race on NFS and the matchmaking does you dirty like this. I've personally given up on multiplayer on any racing game without friends because this is just the every race experience.

Leave it to EA to lock cars behind Takedown Challenges. Anyone who has the Ford Raptor unlocked and uses it for racing will fortunately be immediately recognized as a rammer due to the 50 takedowns challenge.
