friendly reminder that even after EA took the servers offline across all NFS games from this all the way to The Run, we can still play these games completely offline 3 years later, unlike Test Drive Limited Solar Clown in 2024 that's inevitably gonna be The Crew 1'd out of existence sooner or later

I always thought that Carbon was better than MW.... the felling of classic B movie plot with F&F aesthetic is just very fun to watch. NFS Heat is actually great spiritual successor for Carbon (with a bit of MW wibe).

On my channel i made 2 touge battles with eurobeat using different cars and I will be making more!

Tbh, i think for defending races you should be able to send one of your crew members to race it with a chance to win or not. And who knows? A leveling up system for them.

I literally just finished the game last night with the Renault Clio no less, mostly because that's what I drive irl, but also because the cornering of that car is kinda of a cheat really. Definitely a great game, a little short but still awesome
@rhysblaney3121Күн бұрын
Disagree with Neville being a highlight and Blockers being the only useful crew member. The Scouts can be absolute rocketships, and Drafters have the better cars in the game. Nikki, in particular, has the Ford GT when you are still struggling with a Tier 2 car in the early Tier 3 races. It helps. Otherwise, nice to see my favourite game getting some love. Often overshadowed by its older brother.

To be honest, there's plenty of things that made me not like Carbon. The Career is shorter, yes, but making Money after the first Race is incredibly difficult, making you unable to just grind your way for a second car in case you made a bad choice with your first car. It also made Defense Races completely pointless and annoying because there's no financial incentive for it... What they were thinking of making repeat races only worth 500 dollars. Which is made even worse with the fact that unlike MW or Underground where all cars should be Equal in Theory, the Tier and Class system made most cars are artificially different and not car-specific. It made Tier 1 and Tier 2 too slow. Tuners is uselessly slow on Straight, Muscles slides everywhere, and Exotics can't turn. The fact that Carbon had a lot more slow turns and Darius being so hard made the problem even worse (you can't just use any car, you had to use among the best in the game). The game needs their cars to be more agile, since now i get why they need to make the cars slower compared to MW since the map is more technical, but it was a murder when they nerfed the handling on all non-Tuners too.
@ryoasuka46863 күн бұрын
Yeah the game is a slop . Like honestly for me the reason why I turned down was the fact how shit the handling is in comparison to mw 05. Pared with the fact that the tuning sliders are broken meaning that for e.g oversteer is understeer basically opposite direction wich makes no sense. On the other hand the story wise it's aght at least Darius was cool but overall ass. I mean we had canyon races way back in NFS U2 (Jackson height) and the games handling was better albeit progression is slower because you have to drive to the race events but overall better .
