So because we can't do anything, no one can comment on it?

Thank god mankind hasn't had your silly logic for the past 300 years.

I don't recall saying nobody can comment on it? I'm saying if you are that upset about it you don't have to buy the game.
 
The 5 car limit means 5 at once not choose 5 and that's it forever. It will take ages to even get 5 cars apparently but once we do and we want a different car then we will just have to sell one. Owning every car in the game at once would be boring and would ruin the sense of ownership and attachment to the cars. Selling a favourite car will be sad but we can always buy it again later if we want.

I'm sorry TiZzla, normally we agree on a lot of points, but I would have to disagree on this one.

There is absolutely no reason to limit to 5 aside from some arbitrary decision (probably to match the 5 icons and "5 way to play").

- Ghost took time to model 50 odd cars and hundreds of custom parts and restrict us to just a smidge of that. What a waste.

- Sense of ownership is variable for everyone. In Underground 1 and 2 we can customize ALL cars in arcade mode and I always feel an ownership to every one of them. I spent at least an hour modifying each car so I know every single part inside out back in the day. Even then it never felt boring because you can always change things around with no limit.

- Selling cars to make space for another ruins the attachment which contradicts what EA is trying to do here.

- Also, if the upgrade system takes a lot of grinding time/credits (e.g. The Crew, Grid Autosport), it will be a total PITA to rebuy and remodify your favourite cars.

- If you really can only feel attachment to 5 cars at a time, there's no stopping you buying only 5 cars, even if the garage can hold 100. But for others we'd like to have the option to buy all cars. Win-win for everyone right?

I'm gonna be fine if the 5 cars is restricted to career mode only and in arcade there is no limit (like Underground 2). But if the whole game is like this (which is likely because of the always online and no pause menu thing), then EA can kiss my money goodbye. Good thing the PC version is delayed so I can read the reviews of console players first.

NFS 2015 has the potential to be the greatest NFS in a decade and they have to ruin it with a stupid decision. Never change EA :rolleyes:
 
Hmmm 5 car garage? Looks like they're trying to increase the replay value by making the players use another account to get the other cars that they didn't use yet in-game.
 
I don't know if this is new information or not.

Acquired your spot in the garage - Complete the tutorial presumably
You reached Amy's goal of upgrading your engine's horsepower - Different characters must have different "goals"
You've reached rep level 50 - 50 "Rep" levels
 
Is the snap trophy/achievement a snapshot of the screen or an in-game photomode?
 
The always-online was and will be the definitive deal breaker, as long as it stays implemented. But this 5 car garage limit I've found out about is incredibly annoying, especially for someone who really like to collect and own a bunch of cars and enjoys all of them. If I ever buy this game, it will be for the PC, so until Spring of next year, if they would realize the dislike there is for always-online and increase the garage limit (or allow cars to be sold at the same value as new, thus allowing you to switch at any time), that would be great.
 
Then you sell that and go buy back what you owned before hand and start again. Really some of the questions posed when games have things people don't like are a bit out there. You pose the question like there's no turning back. Or as to say "well what about this @TiZzla , eh smart guy, what now?" As if the the solution isn't as simple as the problem. This isn't to say that this is what you intended to do but how it comes across to me, I mean I really don't see an issue in having five cars I like and then growing tired of one and trying something new.
It's out there to want a higher cap limit on the cars? 5 is incredibly low, and I'll always set up my cars for different levels, so it would great to have a higher cap. I even go so far to purchase the same car for said multiple levels, as I like them to have different parts and paint. This is one of the reasons I find the cap to be just to limiting.

I mean it's the same trite as other games, "ah I can't own this" or "they took out my favorite car" as if people really intend to drive each car with an equal amount of time and thus validating the only true reason to own each car, other than just out right gotta catch 'em all behavior. But then again I'm one of those owners that buys a handful of cars that I always wanted and uses them and the rest just sit there collecting virtual dust (if we talk in respect to GT and FM). Five seems like plenty of options to me.
May not drive certain cars more then others, but that doesn't mean that the cars I'd likely drive would be under 5. In Forza alone I have 30 cars in one of the lower classes, and they all get used accordingly. With such a smaller car list I'm obviously not going to approach it in the same sense, but it would be nice if it wasn't there to begin with. It will get very, very, very, very boring to only be isolated to have those 5 cars. I dont want to have to sell a car each and every time I feel like I want something different.

Okay...let's say you were able to buy all the cars at once, are you just going to do some cyclical process of driving them one after the other and not think for a moment you wont have a top five or top three? Once again I really don't see what takes away from this game by not having an unlimited garage, compared to games where car collecting is part of the game process and where those games have far more events where you'd need five cars than this game.
It's the fact of the limited selection when going into a race, 5 is hardly anything to choose from, and if they are at different levels or set up for different track scenarios you'll have even less. Even with saved tunes for different things it wouldn't alleviate the situation. Id still much prefer to have a different cars available from a wide range.

Variety is found in five as well...be more descriptive. You have access to a wide array, just not all at once in your garage, and how can you not go wild enough with the five? You act as if your a stifled artist. As I said in my post that you didn't really quote if it actually had more options life FM or GT it'd make sense, but it doesn't.
Variety is a perfectly valid reason. 5 is not enough to choose from. The types of races and the amount of cars only shorten the selection you'll initially have from the get go. I'm not going to want to use the same 5 cars all the time, and I'm not going to want to have to buy and sell cars repeatedly just to get some variety. They throw on the table "play how you want" but it's not exactly that, as they are forcing you to play how they want. It seems extremely linear, compared to how open they are trying to make it sound.

No you're just being incredibly dismissive of his points.
 
My realistic geuss is that it's for completing the games main story.

You're saying this under the assumption that for any car we buy and upgrades spent on it, we will get all of that money back if we were to sell it. And as far as I know, it has not been confirmed that selling cars works this way. But if I missed that, please correct me. Otherwise, if you sell one of your cars to buy another and it didn't meet your satisfaction, then you just wasted money on the car itself, any upgrades you spent on it, and you let go of a better car to make space for it. This could potentially be a problem depending on how the game's economy is set up. And who wants to waste time rebuilding the same car again and try to get it back to the way it was before?

Also, it wasn't my intention to come across as a smart aleck or anything like that. I just thought it would be pretty obvious what situation a person will be in if they bought and upgraded a car that they wind up not liking.

Where do I say or imply this? Cause no I don't and hate to be harsh, but I really don't care. So you don't make your profit back and you have to start from scratch, may be cheap but sounds like a way to create longevity of a game rather than collect all 70 (random number) and get bored of playing.

Really milking that selling angle even though I never said or implied such, glad you put words in peoples mouths. No need to correct you cause I didn't hint at that. And yet again if losing out on such a trivial thing is that big to you, then oh well. If I spend 100k and only get 30 back, and have to spend another 70k to get a car like the one I sold, that's fine. Also those of you bringing up how much you're use to having an unlimited garage, you should equally be use to grinding for such, so at least NFS has that going for it :sly:. Not all half glass empty for you big garage fans.

Can't say that my post doesn't have some satire to it this time around. As for the quoted line you misquoted, please just ask instead of inventing. And as for your demeanor, thanks for telling me and to be honest didn't think you were a smart ass/aleck, so no worries. As most of my post, I'm not just addressing the poster (you Master Weasel), I'm addressing all those as well that share your view point. Thanks again.

Considering it's a NFS game which are usually known to not be expansive in that area...yes. Unless you plan to rally, do V8 supers, NASCAR, touring cars, prototypes, F1, street race, time attack, drag race, hill climb and so on...most of which you can't do I see no reason why five can't suffice. Other than wanting to have every car under the sun to just have em. I mean if your a pro builder and want this game and are known for builds like in GT I can see the loss, but for anyone else I stick to my original view.

For this game it will have to be. I think it will be quite fun and achieve the relationship/bond they're trying to get from the players.

Even with saved tunes for different things it wouldn't alleviate the situation. Id still much prefer to have a different cars available from a wide range.

The only difference between the five stages is drifting and everything else from the looks is the same just with different goals, set up variation shouldn't be any different. The options are simple, what a four cylinder rwd, 6 cyl, 8cyl, 10cyl? Or is Awd your pref? Easy 5 to me.

Variety is a perfectly valid reason. 5 is not enough to choose from. The types of races and the amount of cars only shorten the selection you'll initially have from the get go. I'm not going to want to use the same 5 cars all the time, and I'm not going to want to have to buy and sell cars repeatedly just to get some variety.

I disagree, for obvious reasons but I still respect your opinion. I'll be fine with five.
