Need For Speed......

Gave in and CD key'd it. Wasn't what I was expecting tbh and the cut scene's drive you mad. Looks very pretty mind, very pretty and wheel support and manual gears and real spice. Arcade definitely but still wasn't quite ready from the change from Project Cars like games. Will give it a fair run and my 980gtx @3440x1440 just about copes :-(
 
So far I am thoroughly enjoying the game. I feel the AI is fair and the graphics are pretty nice.

The exception though is the 3rd race in Eddies missions - rubber banding is very visible in this one and I have tested it.

Scenario 1 - I go flat out for all the laps - someone always beats me by EXACTLY .1 of a second.

Scenario 2 - I go slow on purpose - the AI lap times match this and once again I get beat by .1 of a second.

I have given up on this part for the time being, but for the rest - much fun :)

The only proper annoying thing are the cheesy cut scene videos which luckily you can skip!
 
I have loved the original most wanted. The underground 2 was quite good as well. But then I got the new NFSMW and I was quite disappointed with it. Would you say that this one is better and would u recommend it? How big is the community on the PC?

I just did this race and realised the same thing was going on. So, on my first few races I was going all out and despite the AI not really catching up, I was always getting beaten. I then decided to go slower for a couple of laps and only go all out on the final one and managed to win it.

I find the AI annoying in general. They can't drive and spend most of their time crashing into me. Annoying when you do the drift challenges.

I personally think its fun and always see many people floating around the map, but there are some quirks with the ai that may not please most people.

Overall, its a mindless arcade racing game, but maybe wait until its a lot cheaper.
