not gonna lie, this is the hardest need for speed I've played. coming in 4th-6th almost every race. played almost all need for speeds and i feel like I'm decent at racing, but the physics have a learning curve i gotta adapt to

[@MichaelJP]

Winning outright isn't a priority, especially early game, Rydell mentions this on a call. As the game progresses you get an idea of what cars are op in their catogory and 1st-3rd wins start coming easier. Just don't expect to win everything, like real life, even the best racers drop a race occasionally.

[@henlo1910]

If you did what I did initially and picked the crown vic, then you might want to just restart the game, or build up an new car from the ground up. Re-rolled ti the Boss 302 Mustang and went from the bottom to the top real fast. Apparently the Vic is consistently the worst car in the game, at least B/A/A+.

[@RydinTheBlaze]

using the firebird. love GM cars and trucks so had to pick it.

[@ArbitraryOutcome]

@910 I'm guessing it's too long and heavy to be of much use. Even though I've been liking the M5 as an S-class vehicle.

[@justgamer8270]

Same bro

[@BiIlDipperIy]

Another little rule of thumb I use for building cars: If the stock "tune" is leaning towards grip or drift, that's what the car will prefer. My lotus is set up for grip only and it loves it. But even if I set my rx8 all the way to grip, it'll still tend to break loose.

[@raith3700]

Exactly the same complaint I have. If the car isn't grip by default, it will kick and buck if you try to grip tune it. Really made me hate my mustang

[@Jameshonda93]

@@raith3700 oh yeah mustang I left for drift definitely

[@BiIlDipperIy]

@@raith3700 ik this is late and random but maybe someone could find it useful. The best grip build I've found for me so far is the Volvo polestar with the Bugatti engine. Hits like 227 (and fast) and corners like a beast. Definitely my favorite so far.

You explained this so well, I peeped that drift was a little bit faster in B class but didn't realize it was so radical. Appreciate you man

[@Vert344]

As someone who's played every NFS since Underground 1... I must say I enjoy this game. I'm only up to the end of the Week 2 Qualifier so A+ cars. But one way I've always been going about it is not only car dependent but location and race type dependent as well. The way I've done it thats worked so far... Mountain roads and lot of tight twisty bits and mid speed corners tend to work better for drifting cars. High speed and runs that have a lot of sweeping long corners or hard braking and sharp 90 degree turns tend to be better for grip racing on the country side and freeways. While the City courses with a lot of sharp snap backs and tight sections that are to quick for the drift setup but to slow for the grip setup, tend to be better for a balance of the two... or more the "Brake to drift/grip" that we've had in past NFS. Having at least 2 cars for each area/style works best...at least for me.

[@ZeonXGR]

Its also worth noting that certain cars have crazy traits to them. My Exige is in Class A and it has insane grip, to the point where I can triple Burst straight into another corner at full tilt and not spin out unless I collide with something. The downside is that its very twitchy and easy to trigger, meaning it can happen by accident.

[@lucasmoncada2587]

Another thing that works for grip cars is when you have some burst nitrous and you find yourself understeering, it can help the car go through the corner like a slot car. It all depends on the car itself though, in the Regera for example, it’ll act like a slot car around the corners which is fantastic but in some cars it will shoot you off the road

[@babtanian]

Great video Trigger Once I realized grip cornering was possible and started doing it, I improved dramatically. Despite having so much time in NFS Heat, I just haven't yet developed the knack for drifting in this game. In my B-Class Cuda, I do pretty much drift corners with it. With my A-Class Eclipse, I've taken a hybrid approach where I grip more subtle corners and drift the 90s or hairpins with neutral tuning. For A+ and S class though, it's grip all the way.

[@randys8974]

This is probably a dumb question but how do you actually perform a grip turn? Is that straight up using no brake?

[@jaysway8972]

@@randys8974 any type of turn that doesn’t involve u loosing traction is basically a grip turn. Wether u brake or not, if u start to slide or drift, that’s not a grip turn

[@Mart-E12]

[@brawler5760]

@@jaysway8972 I think as long as your car’s rear doesn’t kick out it counts, because I’ve had my car straight while it showed me drifting, and then when I exit the corner I get my grip turn bonus.

Heyhey, I recently restarted my whole save and am playing the Mazda as the start car, but my previous save had the Mitsubishi awd which I played a grip setup on on B tier. I gotta say that felt really nice and rewarding especially when you buy a low speed turbo to help out on driving those corners you may have not enough speed for because of slower acceleration

[@stephenwebb192]

Excellent! Thanks for the heads up! I completely overlooked grip! Thank you.

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

Glad to help!

[@glenmcl]

Already worked this out myself but props to a good explanation in the video. Cornering is heavily reliant on the boost or you will get owned online. Also, use GRIP + Traction Control ON for S and S+ Use DRIFT AND Traction Control OFF for B to A+

[@ryuiwa3500]

is drift entry set to off or else for under s class?

[@starshockraiko7402]

@@ryuiwa3500 I'd assume so, you don't wanna do an unwanted drift especially for grip builds, some of them will just turn to the side a little too much and that will kill a lot of your momentum.

[@wildstyla85]

Amazing video and great explanation of the mechanics, thx

[@Guspachoo]

Idk if you’ll see this, but I love that they put more emphasis on grip builds this time around, I drive an S class Urus with 100% grip and honestly it’s always so rewarding, it’s not the fastest car by any means but it’s sure as heck competitive I can be anywhere in top 3 at any given time

[@ryanSLF]

You can literally have grip builds in Heat if you build your car correctly, for instance, i own a Subaru WRX STI which is AWD, build it with the grip parts you need and it sticks to the road like shit to a blanket!

[@UnDeadBan749]

What I did was took the GTR from the third week qualifier put grip tires on almost maxed out an s+ and 90% grip works like a charm.

[@Vincent_Nash]

I agree for the most part. My B rank VW beetle is a grip build that wins pretty effectively but on any street race as soon as I bump a sidewalk I lose. How about some car building guides?

Rear diffuser can boost up your car grip, because it is "Freezed BoyFriend Engine" setting from NFS 2015. Especially If drive "danger cannonball" like S+ 1969 BOSS 302.

[@seancovell4124]

It's pretty old now, but my absolute favorite NFS is the 2nd Most Wanted also created by Criterion. Then this new one Unbound, then the original Most Wanted. If you haven't had the chance to play either Most Wanted, I would highly recommend them. Unfortunately they are both 2 generations old now. The original isn't available on PS3 by the way but you can get both for the 360.

[@xRenegade_999]

Can someone help? So if I have a grip car ( for example the lotus), during a sharp turn at high speeds, am I suppose to HOLD the break for like 2 seconds? Or use the hand break? I feel like no videos are explaining this in depth

[@kdee3492]

That's the odd thing. It seems that the game is in a conflict where it seems like you have to stick with one universal car for the whole story. But then you have different types of races and corners. The extremely linear story progression and therefore money acquisition doesn't help with that either.

[@asap_tenzo]

The KZbinr gets it he knows, it’s like he old burnout games but you gotta know what your tuning !

[@KryptekMajestic]

Hey man been watching your vids for a few months now and since I'm pretty early to this one figured I'd ask a question. Assuming you're running a full grip high tier car, how should you take a sharp 90. When I try to grip it usually ends up in the car not getting a sharp enough turning radius to avoid smacking the oncoming side of the 90 (or run off the road if there's no wall). So my question is in the scenario should you let off gas approaching then go through, brake then gas through, or drift through? And as a follow-up I've heard many people stay brake drift is ideal in this game, but this confuses me if the answer is to brake before the turn then gas through to get the grip turn nos because obviously this would cause the game to try to initiate a drift. Anyways thanks a bundle brother and keep up the high quality content, it's extremely appreciated.

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

Dm me on IG, discord or Twitter. I’ll explain it in better detail

[@MrCrazed26]

Make sure you have drift entry off and traction control on and take a racing line ( wide tight wide )

[@relapsedgamer3398]

Im a drift cornering guy, but i built up the Foxbody with high grip and downforce, it dont beat every supercar but keeps up with them running at 228MPH, i actually dont have enough gears on the big O and it starts hitting the Rev limiter

same as you i noticed this the first day online, every player telling me the same, and i was used to these arcade racing games i did alll the NFS , all the burnout , but coming from forza Horizon 5 it was plainful at the start for me online, so i went in the solo, and now i'm much better, it's not NFS hot pursuit in this way , it retrains some of the heat handling imho.

[@linjunhong2005]

[@OrlanoFanis]

Hi !!! So what button do you push, when and why if you want to grip ? Been searching about this for days.

[@guilhermefernando3373]

Nice guide, i learned something today man! One question tho, what do you define as low tear cars, it’s like B/A/A+ or just B/A? Keep up the good work man, your doing well!

[@MichaelJP]

B/A would be low tier, once you hit A+, 300 kmh cars are possible so things start getting quick in a game where the sense of speed is pretty damn high in the lower cars.

[@nevergiveup8768]

Your the best 🙌🏿💯🔥

[@shokata9923]

why do some cars seem to boost the blue meter much quicker? i have a porsche where it flies up super quick even if on right side of road? confusing.

[@freightshaka4193]

I need help figuring out which cars are best in which tiers. For example, my 350z. Which tier would it perform best in? I'm struggling online. I gave up on the story after the 1st qualifier and went to online to progress there. My Eclipse is a B tier and does pretty well gripping and drifting. But idk if it would drive better in a higher tier. I dont want to spent whatever little money I have on parts for it and completely ruin it. I just raced a S tier with my mustang foxbody and got blown away by a f40! Lost in my Eclipse to a huracan! Idk what I'm doing wrong but I know I'm doing things wrong here. Any and all advice is welcomed and appreciated thank you!

[@midnightsavage]

There's also another trick if your 100%grip you can let go of throttle and tap fast to switch lane not to drift just lane switch and you can maintain your boost nitrous, due to the angle you aquire for a fast lane switch . Longest I held a triple boost was for 57 seconds. This technique is done in a straight line no turns combined with near miss and dodging cars you can get 3 bars after 3 cars

[@rayson.-.]

well explained

[@TheJansik55]

have S tier Evo IX with 10% drift. Works great for me.

[@1flashstep]

its just more fun to fly 200mph drifting through corners in s+ honestly

[@dnxp3976]

I know it's not the most optimum but, any advice for drift with higher class cars?

[@cheekclappin96ss22]

Ps4 player still here watching these bangers even tho I can't play... soon very soon

[@MichaelJP]

Yeah it definitely depends on the car, looking at it's grip/drift leanings at purchase. Been passing on NFS games for a minute, so it took a bit to get this system. Only up to the B-A class days atm and my '76 Golf A class grip car is like playing on easy mode, and the drift score bar is set pretty low, so my BRZ can easily double the high score most of the time. Heard the Lotus's are good later grip cars, gonna have to look into later stage drift ones though.

[@Mart-E12]

However i'm using the neutral car in the high tier races it's SOO EASY. Are you what type driver grip mind ? so you are use the grip setup but i prefer the RACING Car it's be a neutral

[@victorzannoner7096]

Wondering how far the drift/grip scale should be. Is a max drift car good or will it slip so much it won't be even able to go straight? Or a full grip one versus something around the 40% grip?

[@NearMedia]

For me, the higher the tier, the lower the drift I put. And vice versa. When you have too much speed + like 85% drift. It's too much.
