This is the first thing that my father taught me when I asked how do I use manual in driving school. “Just listen to the engine boy.”

[@ShadowXD]

Is your father Kratos?

[@NISSANSKYLINEGC]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial on manual transmission (& boost control/discipline), it was metal. I haven't done anything like that since Project Gotham Racing 2 (Yh I know old game).

[@prod_by_will]

It doesn't preshift. No matter auto reverse on or off. It just don't want to work. Any idea?

[@alexcornnut]

Preshift was patched out in VOL2 it's gone forever

[@ericvalitutto7066]

Finally someone made a proper manual video time to keep practicing nice work Alex

[@kam945]

Important info for the PS5 players: If you dont feel comfortable with the default buttons for changing the gears up/down you can easily replace em in the system menu. Just go to the settings->accessibillity->controller and switch the buttons to these you feel comfortable with:)

[@alexcornnut]

Good info!

[@stonergee420]

I play w my wheel, I know it not good in nfs unbound but I’m used to it, bc all my cars are AWD & front wheel I also play on manual too. I like down shifting to make a smooth turn, my skill came from playing Rally 2.0 too much😅 💯🔥

[@Racegas]

@@stonergee420nfs unbound is the one game I don’t play on wheel cause I can’t to manual with clutch. When I am playing on games that have m/c then I rev match when downshifting

[@K_Ma3iX]

Thank you for the guide been really usefull. I know its a stupid question and its been quite a long time just asking because I am having a issue with pre-shifting gears hope that u can help me. Just before the race start I cant shift to the gear I want I am on ps5. Do you know what can be the problem. Do I have to press anything else? Thanks in advance :)

[@alexcornnut]

They removed the ability to pre-shift in the vol #3 update and so that is a thing of the past unfortunately.

Man this educational video is the perfect for people changing from auto to manual transmission, much appreciated When i made this change myself (when i started following you and saw the acceleration difference from auto to manual, i said "oh i have to try this out") i couldnt pre shift and i had to search like one hour to find out that i had to turn off the auto reverse option I almost gave up for that stupid setting xD I also have to say that i discovered the redline tech in the first one or two days of the release ( im a fan of racing games from like forevah (pre PSX) so thats why )and after i saw a video about it and i though aaaahhhh there goes my advantage hahahaha My times are not the best ( well online 99% i finish 1st this matters haha :P ) but i am really having fun racing and now with this community is awesome Glad to meet all of you guys Peace!!!

[@TonyGotti-wn7sw]

This is good also Alex alot of people are just scared of manual and convince them selfs it's to hard for a long time I just did auto now I can see why the car can go faster alot quicker and get up to speed I thank thank you enough for this video how do I donate to your channel I've been with you a long time thank you Tony

[@alexcornnut]

I am glad it helped you bro. streamelements.com/alexcornnut/tip

[@emaadally5658]

I’ve played manual for at least 5 days and I was struggling in terms of shifting, most of the times my eyes are glued on the rev meter, it makes me not as focused, I’m more focused in automatic.

[@queenpurple8433]

Reduced dynamic range will always help hear the details of the car better. Great video Alex!

[@Silence867]

glad i found you man, 2 weeks into ur builds and guides and im already one head over my previous results

[@Aprendiz07]

How do you pre shift? It does not work when I’m starting a race

[@alexcornnut]

The devs removed that back in VOL#3

[@jockk1183]

Killing cops with his eyes closed! Love the video❤ my first NFS game I’m going to do manual on!

[@showell-]

Big tip is to play with a headset obviously preferably a wired headset since theres little to no lag as in a Bluetooth one

[@isailuna545]

Could u make a build with the Mercedes-AMG GT S Roadster (2019) in a class pls?

[@Just_Marcusz]

You Alex, have honestly mastered tron turns.

[@alexcornnut]

Lol some days. Thanks for the compliment man.

[@CurseDaCriip]

I think you forgot to mention that pre shifting won’t work if you change cars during playlists. I noticed it does work if I pick the same car for the second and third race.

[@wb3213]

so that's what was happening I thought my controller was messed up Thanks

[@meysamsamadi7587]

Oh my God. thank you brother

[@Healtsome]

Love the Foxbody ❤

[@50LightSabersInAPack]

I wish they'd give semi-auto as an option so you can have automatic but change gears if you wish too

[@alexcornnut]

All of us want that brother. You are not alone

[@DaBest21101]

Im sure this is a great video

[@Chrisrtn]

it's very well explained to learn to fly manually, thank you from France 😊🇫🇷

[@MTVMEL0]

HOLY I JUST LEARNED SOOOO MUCH

[@Fukosadventure]

Playing like this is crazy to me, first time seeing someone use the stick to manual shift

[@alexcornnut]

NO NO NO. Bumpers to shift my man. NEVER ever used anything else.

[@Fukosadventure]

@@alexcornnut ahhhh okay nothing that gets in way of the gameplay

[@Fukosadventure]

@@alexcornnut I appreciate this vid and comment recently just got the game, excited to try this.

[@L0RDSH0CK3W4V3GamingAdvice]

Word has it That alexcornut likes automatic transmission when racing 🏁 !

[@alexcornnut]

Lmao who is saying these words?!?!

[@matheusvictorino2761]

Does the 3rd gear start still works ? I have everything set up and still not working

[@alexcornnut]

Nope. They patched that out in VOL#3

[@gaberylosborne8018]

Alright, whats the hate on claw grip? Thats how I play all my damn games, from Monster Hunter to NFS bro 😆 hasn't hindered me at all! I got enough fingers for both bumpers and triggers so imma use them! Genuinely curious though, how does that create crashes vs your one finger method?

[@PrinceEdwin947]

This is helping me learn a lot thank you so much Alex now I can use these cars in manual soon and then learn to drift thank you Alex your the 🐐🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ubergurbergoblin69]

Hey does redlining still work or did it get patched as well¿

[@alexcornnut]

Redline tech still works

[@calebriley7611]

I think the music in this game completely sucks so I'm more than happy to listen to my engine:) great vid!

[@defnotatroll]

this game forces you to have to look at the rev gauge because the engine noises get so muffled by the effects, particularly nitrous

[@SniperShotGames]

I've always been able to drive manual in forza but not need for speed I'm slowly playing manual more and more. But mostly still auto but hopefully soon I'll get to the point where I don't want auto anymore

[@CurseDaCriip]

Guys practice quick reflexes if you crash and get stuck in a race and need to reverse 😂 down shift completely to reverse. Also some cars like the Ferrari evo like to stay in 5th 6th and 7th for the whole run.

[@deasadrava2833]

do i need to let go of the gas when shifting?

[@alexcornnut]

Nope

[@MarinAero_FPV]

I have a question. I'm using ps5 and I can't do advance shift in manual. I already set the auto reverse off but still I can't do advance shift. Is it only for PC version?

[@alexcornnut]

Pre shift was patched out of the Game with VOL#2

[@mohammedbenrabah-b9b]

Love you man ur amazing keep posting videos

[@Ski_Bike]

It won't let me launch in another gear other than 1st gear in VOL 3. and I have it set to manually shift to R?

[@alexcornnut]

They patched that in volume 3 we can no longer pre shift.

[@nendacor]

thanks for explaining redline tech, heard that term a lot, didnt know what it was

[@wowandrss]

Real racer as in a real racer that's like a competitive NFS player or a real racer as in outside of the gaming world? :D

[@alexcornnut]

I completely race motorcycles IRL

[@wowandrss]

@@alexcornnut that is actually super badass. Nice! Since I have you here, is there any recommended order of car upgrades for NFS Unbound? I'm on week 2 story mode on highest difficulty and it's a little rough on some days. Much appreciated!

[@summerbreath2024]

Can you please do Panamera. Cant find the right class for this car

[@alexcornnut]

We will see. I think that's one that I might have Copium Plans for ;)

[@austinmangold5190]

@AlexCornnut Now next time Hex is in my lobby and sends a playlist up, maybe I can use this to help me. I know I probably won’t win but it’s great practice.

[@alexcornnut]

Keep on practicing man. It's all good 👍 I rarely beat HEX lol 😆

[@austinmangold5190]

@@alexcornnut That’s awesome! I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I try my best in the online side of things. I been running manual since I started online. Even though it’s a bit hard due to my condition I still make it work. I’d love to race with you guys sometime.

[@alexcornnut]

@@austinmangold5190 Austin we would love to have you coming race with us. The best way for that is if you join the discord we raised almost everyday is a group and we can definitely get you in a server with us

[@Adityax4747]

well i get good lap times in mannual in B class but as the gear increases and speed i m just unable to handle the car can help. i have been practicing for weeks now still struggle any tips.

[@alexcornnut]

Some cars are easier to drive than others. Maybe try another car in whatever class you are struggling with. Everyone has a preference.

[@Adityax4747]

i also had a doubt like i have put the auto reverse as off still unable to preshift at the start of the race is there a timing to do that or am i doing smthg wrong?

[@alexcornnut]

@@Adityax4747 pre shift was patched out of the game when Vol#2 came out.

[@DaBest21101]

Think they need to fix the auto reverse so that you can pre shift and it not cancel. Was like that in heat could pre shift my rsr into 3rd

[@alexcornnut]

I don't know if they did or not I'll look into that.

[@kam945]

But u can turn off this option.

[@joelh3030]

The manual transmission in this game is so fake and works so weird and unrealistic, especially when you're downshifting. Somehow the automatic transmission drives way faster than the manual mode, even if your shifting is faster and consistent you lose speed just because you're in manual. Ive tried both and its just so inconsistent the way the speed is shown.

[@alexcornnut]

Manual is faster and makes setting up Yellow boost better. All track records were set with manual transmission.

[@defnotatroll]

@@alexcornnut how does manual help with the yellow boost?

[@snagdaily4042]

How do you preshift before the race starts ?

[@alexcornnut]

In volume 3 they patched that ability and took it away from us. So you can no longer pre-shift

[@Valvey789]

You don't seem to use downshifting to slow down going into a corner.

[@alexcornnut]

That's because I don't use the transmission for engine breaking in this game.

[@rafailmotionless5787]

You never did a Vulcan build tho

[@alexcornnut]

It's S Plus you just slap on Elite everything and you're good.

[@xzcvic]

[@svk_zoltan]

Great tutorial!

[@queenpurple8433]

Also, being a musician with perfect pitch helps so much with this

[@jrviade85]

"listen to the engine " what a discovery!! I bet none of the people that actually drive stick shift know about this! 🙄

[@rasonance]

Are we able to do redline tech on keyboards?

[@alexcornnut]

Not really
