Driving Faster In NFS Heat | Manual Transmission

[@TheGoliath]

Nothing life changing in this one 😂. This is more for people who are just starting out with manual or want to make the switch. Once you're used to manual, you'll do all of this naturally. The next parts will be a little more interesting 😎

[@Crisnellp]

I actually put manual to try it out and I haven't changed it since then lol

[@TheGoliath]

@@Crisnellp Excellent 😎

[@josefam9170]

Thank you! Just started playing a few weeks ago and this is everything I needed

[@100WaysTo...]

What I noticed with manual is that you can better know your speed but it can also slow you down. Edit: I think I'm going to stick to automatic for now

[@jaxx1360]

Imagine being in a race and driving like that irl. I would be puking my guts out before the race was over.

[@Slu2112]

You would be used to it if u had the abilitie to handle a car or anything at thata speed

[@antonio3736]

I find that playing the older nfs titles such as most wanted and underground gives you a better understanding of learning manual as well

[@TheGoliath]

i found using manual in most wanted weird. I can't put my finger on it, but it didn't feel right lol

[@HeroManNick132]

NFS Underground's manual was great but in NFS Underground 2 and NFS MW 2005 it was nerfed and not great as NFS Carbon/Pro Street and the first NFS Underground. But if we talk about the weirdest feeling for shifting gears it was NFS Undercover (no suprise this game is the most broken NFS ever). NFS Undercover's manual is the weirdest in the all NFS games. From first to third you can overrev a bit then after forth to the final gear you have to shift early before reaching the redline (it was weird also, that after forth gear it doesn't let you shift like in first to third exceeding a bit of the redline). Also, there was a ridiculous reverse glitch that could be done only in manual. First you needed to floor the car in reverse till you reach the top speed of the reverse gear (it works with any cars -- doesn't matter if it is tuned or stock). Then, immediatelly go first and again immeditatelly shift into neutral and enjoy. If you have done it properly you'll achieve 400+ km/h in reverse.

[@Spitfire_94]

It's like being taught stick shift in real life, people say just listen to the engine and with a little practice it's all 2nd nature, which I've been telling people who ask me about using manual in the game, I legit don't be knowing how to explain because I just do it, but now I can link them to this instead of being an idiot who can't explain his own methods lol.

[@TheGoliath]

yes sir! lol

[@K1Z_Howzer]

Thanks for the tip, now I'll try auto

[@TheGoliath]

MEN

[@hotattack14]

The Goliath 😂😂😂

[@DreamsCodex]

Video hasn't even started but I seen this comment and started dying laughing. 🤣 Thank you for the laughs

[@stormmidori56709]

manual is kinda fun if your not a very hardcore player

[@ThanDeath]

how you switch to auto?

[@MikeLaRock88]

I drive manual irl and in games for years. The only thing that will always get me is new tracks. Sometimes its hard to know exactly what gear is perfect for unfamiliar turns. But its not a huge deal, just few seconds slower

[@johndallasjohnson6066]

holyshit dude you can drive. you're one hell of professional

[@MrMrStacho]

I genuinely felt like Kronk from the emperors new groove after watching this video and practicing the gears. "Oh yeah, its all coming together."

[@vaset0158]

Well actually i started learning manual because to feel like im from Fast and Furious shifting gears very cool and you really helped me

[@Eric-qi9us]

yo that's EXACTLY why i went for manual!

[@p1insertcoin489]

Awesome.This guy is well above pro level.

[@pavvv]

Yes, yes he is ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@D1150NC]

started driving a car irl few months ago, and then wanted to try it in the game, and then realized "so it's all just stick to the basics" thing after all. also got another more tips that maybe i could use irl too from this video (just in case).

[@barackputin]

Nah man, you worse you are in real life. The better you'll be in NFS

[@trae177]

I been waiting for this video, thanks bro 💯

[@TheGoliath]

np

[@jinerith1198]

A terrible time to be high

[@afdelta0120]

I find speeds vary a little too much for me using gears to limit speed, I find there's a slight discrepancy (+/- 15KMH) between hitting rev limit initially and full restriction from it. Especially as a guy who loves to run lower level cars for fun.

[@cyberneticxylem9614]

So... You're Keisuke incarnate. I see.

[@kylesalmon31]

I don’t usually play race games,but this makes me want to play them a whole lot more lol

[@Menol_Static]

I actually have more fun playing manual.

[@diegosocold4767]

This is impressive footage

[@kylesalmon31]

Awesome video. I’m trying to get used to manual right now.

[@jambsaw7221]

Keep hitting that invisible wall on aardvark!!!! Can't improve my time on that track. I just stay clear of it.... lmao

[@juanluisdejesussz9290]

I never watch the tachometer… Headset on 🎧

[@Coolmeham]

i thought i was the only ñerson who shifted immediately when launching

[@thatporgman]

I've used manual for yearrrrs in racing games and this guide was still helpful. Thank you Goliath! P.S. Plasma doesn't exist

[@ThatJ0eGuy]

Just starting out, thanks for this - interesting stuff!

[@godfreyleitch9999]

Now learning how to play on Manual and everytime I crash I keep forgetting to gear down😑🤣💀

[@hope4ourfallen]

With manual, when is the best time to hit nos? Should I try to get max rpm our of the gear I'm in, then go up a gear and hit nos? Or is there a particular gear / rpm moment that gives Nos the most bang for the buck (aside from looking at where the track could benefit from me hitting it) I tried to learn from watching your vid, but my brain is shorting out trying to catch when you are picking the best moment to NOS boost (compared to gear and RPM levels)😄

[@omroyorsmith]

I drive a manual I’m real life and it’s completely different here

[@HeroManNick132]

Well, because this is an arcade racer.

[@parkermoser9657]

New to racing games, when I found out there was a gear shift mechanic I was really hoping to have an actual clutch button I had to hit like a real manual

[@IVIugen]

nfs carbon :D

[@wyldewest5613]

It’s weird going from up-shifting and heel-toeing irl to pressing buttons on a video game. It just doesn’t feel right, but like anything else it just requires practice. Kinda like when Herman Lee tried to play Through the Fire and the Flames on GH for the first time 😂

[@HeroManNick132]

Well, you can play with steering wheel and pedals if you wanted to but with controller feels better since this is an arcade racer.

[@kaezeprys6520]

Figured out why I’m so slow after learning on my own and only reaching 2:30:58. Shifting at max rpm. Don’t think I woulda figured out how to do it exactly would have good sonic runs by accident and mess them up half way through maybe had my break through thanks to ya cheers

[@MattePurple1]

Can I ask how you hold the controller? Do you brake and accelerate with your middle fingers and shift gears with your pointer fingers? I'm getting a big better at it, but it was awkward at first and really affected my handling ability. I honestly I prefer the mod that moves shifting to the X and B buttons. However, I'm practicing with the regular layout to prepare for Unbound.

[@boody5412]

middle or ring

[@redpandapowa]

At least it's not like my real life Honda's that you have to shiftfrom like you hate them.

[@hoboryan3455]

So this is a old vid but I would find it SUPER helpful if you did like a "quiz" for gear shifting where you make a noise or something a sec after you shift. I dunno. Could be a fun interactive video if you are looking for content.

[@nfs_don-2jz_298]

Make one on Throttle control! Next big game changer in nfs heat

[@TheGoliath]

hmm I might add that as part of the cornering vids

[@banban3436]

thanks for this

[@snail818]

the stance tune does that effect the behavior of the car or is it just for looks ?

[@HeroManNick132]

The stance tunning I think it is cosmetic.

[@brwnbrd]

Where is the Neutral in heat?

[@HamsterXFiles]

How do you drift, much fingers get very confused, do you downshift and enter a drift? Do you brake and downshift and drift? Do use use e-brake and downshift? I don't know how to drive.

[@nxsa6565]

I tap and hold and just turn... idk maybe it’s diff for u

[@666han_3]

downshift is the new e brake

[@antonioxjr8383]

I need some clarification here because I started this game on manual so is it worth staying in manual or go to automatic so it’s easier??

[@TheGoliath]

yea just stick with manual

[@antonioxjr8383]

The Goliath if I know how to use manual better would it be better than automatic drivers?

[@HamsterXFiles]

Nah because the shoulder buttons as shift is fucking WACK! Makes my trigger buttons confused as fuck when cornering because I need to brake and down shift.

[@ItsLegitness]

How big of a diffrence does learning manual make? Will it improve lap time by alot?

[@TheGoliath]

Manual gives you better control over your car. So if you know how to control your car then yes it will help out quite a bit, but if the driving skill isn't there then no it won't matter.

[@420lukush2]

ight so just so Im clear Does manual allow you to go faster or is it the same as automatic

[@Darealblase]

If you gon race in auto you basically how to factory your time into it so it’s a hit and miss

[@ARZEE-_-gaming203]

what gear box is best for manual🤔

[@jaxx1360]

Bro I want this game so bad. I gotta wait till christmas though...

[@freddievelazquez6879]

Bruh

[@KingComp67_-io3iz]

It’s only 6.99 now

[@SheriffAnubis]

I just never know what gear to shift to. Oh, amd i only tried manual cuz muscle cars bang rev limiter a lot

[@andresinchausti3841]

Who is Ghost?

[@adaptabledisease]

Would love to hear your voice in these....

[@Splashthekiid-HD]

What is your car called?

[@worldofwariii9395]

I play on Pc Keyboard. Just hold my beer

[@666han_3]

i play manual in keyboard since MW05

[@vincenzoesposito709]

Hi goliath, why my car don't want to drift fastly? it took too much time to drift. i follow your setup and i'm using nissan gtr 99'

[@HeroManNick132]

The R34 is bad (not even in top 10 fastest race-spec/offroad/drift cars). The Porsche 911 Carrera RSR is the best car in the game in offroad and race class with the 440 hp 3,5L V6 - Raptor's engine (not to be confused with the 304 hp 3,5L V6 from Nissan 350Z engine - it sucks). This car was op since NFS 2015 and Ghost hasn't nerfed this car since then. The Mazda RX-7 with 4L F6 (from again Porsche... 911 GT3 RS) is the best car for drift. Also, this setup doesn't work for all cars.

[@rudegamer6920]

yo Goliath do a run n manual on that mountain track top of map NFS Heat

[@garrickarmstead9324]

footage is already out there bro, just gotta find it. Its on his page.

[@TheGoliath]

Aardvark? Yea I do have a decent run on that from some months back

[@ruskidogger5554]

Idwanna now how u shift like that how the fuck can u steer this good at this highspeed

[@Linebacker_KR]

Teacher, pls teach us the auto ❔❔

[@sageof6grabz]

autos easy just learn ur lines and wen to brake

[@TheGoliath]

lol

[@HeroManNick132]

Auto is for casual players lol.

[@ZFAIRGENTLEMAN]

*i can't beat a lot of dudes online with my manual F40 LM but maybe if i practice more i'll be a pro!*

[@matthewellisor1997]

On top of this, watch his cornering technique videos. Learning to drive in manual is difficult but it won’t matter if you can’t corner or use nos properly

[@amuroray1085]

Use manual. Take control of your machine.

[@RAAFLightning1]

If only the bindings didnt paralyse you on ps4

[@K3vin0204]

Hey what if my car doesn’t drift for a turn like to I press the e brake for it and then shift down or do the opposite shift down and then e brake

[@professionalprocrastinator8103]

Need for Speed is an arcade game so if you want to be competitive, forget about drag tyre and traction control altogether. Go for regular track or race tyres and track suspensions. This will allow you to keep momentum going into corners and get a good speed recovery out of them. However, if you want your car to behave like an F1 car (like I do), do equip drag tyres, activate traction control, and do as the F1 drivers do: when anticipating a turn, downshift until you reach 100-150 kph. You'll need to adjust your timing depending on how abrupt the corner is. While you are manoeuvering, leave the throttle alone. Stay on the exterior part of the corner and cut inside until you skim the inner edge of the corner. At that moment, you should have reached its apex which is when you decide to accelerate again. Be careful though, if the corner is sharp or if you're dealing with hairpin turns, you'll need to decelerate a lot. In any way, precision is key because you ideally need to reach the apex of the turn when your car has travelled half its turning angle. By the way, do not use e-brakes but regular brakes. When using e-brakes, the rear-end of your car will start to skid in the direction of prior momentum (while the front-end will move away in the new direction you're steering into) because it has lost traction: you'll start drifting. But because you have equipped drag tyres and activated traction control, the lateral friction coefficient of your tyres is off the charts and you'll lose a lot of momentum in that drift.

[@Idk-ik4ys]

Anyone know what car he used

[@pepper3732]

Can you please race in traffic without crashing that would be nice if you can thank you

[@redkalifornia8580]

Bolt is still faster than yous 🌝 and ya gay, so is ur pc

[@TheGoliath]

ok boomer
