Yes, tried again just now. At around 1/4 throttle the car will stay at a certain speed, but never shift up. If i use slight less or more throttle the car will start slowing down or accelerate all the way to top speed. Doesn't matter if it's 50 or 200 km/h, you have to find that spot around 1/4 throttle. Feels weird.

So on a scale of 1 to 10 how confident are you guys that the servers will not be a nightmare on release? They really need to get rid of the always online thing because heaps of people have unstable connections. How infuriating would it be to lose single player progress because your internet cuts out....

I'd give them an 8. The beta ran very stable after they worked out a few kinks, so they definitely found what they were looking for and know what to expect now. Something tells me the update was pushed out to see how the servers would react to one, lo and behold they ran into some issues and fixed them.
They have my vote of confidence, the beta was a massive success in my opinion and is a very promising first foot forward for the game.

I was planning on playing the beta one last time today, but when I finally get a chance, the servers are already offline. Man. But I feel October will be over rather quickly, so no big deal.
9. I spent at least 12 hours playing and had no issues whatsoever connecting to the game or staying on. The game did have a tendency freeze for a split second from time to time, but they said on Twitter that they were aware of that, so hopefully that issue will be gone on release day. I'm also glad that I startex using a wired connection prior to the beta to ensure I had the best connection possible.

Judging by the beta, I'd say a 9, but I believe the full game will have more in it, and that the REP rewards will most likely be rebalanced, and it'll probably be slower to rank up, but that's fine by me.
The handling model is fine for me, at first it was very heavy and full of understeer, but I did choose the EK9, so I expected understeer.
Some tuning is required, yes, but going towards grip isn't always understeer city if you fiddle with the specific tuning options. My R35 ended up handling very nicely. If you can apply downforce, max downforce helps massively.
Overall, I'm very much looking forward to launch day.

To play the Beta without any problems, your internet needs to be quite fast. My wireless modem is so slow that the game failed to function properly. When I changed over to the my faster modem with an Ethernet cable running to the console, it worked perfectly. The servers will need a bit of work because other people may not have fast internet on hand.

@TiZzla: I haven't played the beta, so I can't give it a rating as to how the servers will be at launch. I guess the only way I'll find out now is to patiently wait the next month out and play the game for myself.
And as you guys are, I'm also irked by the maximum amount of cars we can have at one time. Maybe if the maximum amount of cars you could have in your garage was higher than 5 (say, I don't know, 10), I might have been able to do a car-themed version of μ's from Love Live! School Idol Project.
This would mean going on the Love Live! wiki and looking up the individual members (all of which are pictured above), and building a car based off of each member. Still, I think I'm really going to enjoy myself here, but again...I'm going to wait before saying anything.
If what BlackPanthaa has posted on Youtube is any indication, this game is constantly going to have that look like it's in desperate need of antiperspirant. Speaking of, I think (and this is a wild guess right here) that Ubisoft already used it all on The Crew: Wild Run and didn't leave any for EA and Ghost.
I'll be playing both that expansion and this game, if you're wondering.
EDIT: Look down...it looks like we can all start waiting now.

No not really, considering the many people testing the game on here and haven't said such outside of the few you selected to counter act me. I still haven't seen it as big of an issue, not saying it isn't for those who do feel it's too much but as a collective it doesn't seem to be a constant take away from the game overall. I feel if it was, it'd be a massive point made rather than by a few in the same manner we've seen manual transmission complained about or five car limit or online only...these topics have taken up pages of debate while wet streets has yet to do so.
If it is more highly pointed out then sure I'll probably be a bit worried why GG thinks this is a good call. On the other end I do feel that perhaps this may be something that the Beta users can address and as such GG can go back and tone down before release, without delaying the game. Or more so explain why LA is suddenly Seattle.
I don't love this game, I've yet to play it. Also no disrespect has been taken so thanks. However, you did try to cram your opinions down another users throat all cause he came to his own revelation that a feature wasn't nearly as bad as he first perceived.
As for the seriousness of all this, I just don't give much care or weight into an NFS game any more than I would an FF movie for example. With that said I still enjoy it in a more numb to reality way, which is why it's quite easy to defend. When I purchase an NFS game I know that I'm not getting the same immersion, quality or complete dynamic overview I should expect from a FM or GT game. Which is why when people use those as their base level for analysis, I find it strange and at times silly considering what we can extrapolate from the NFS title over the years at the best and worse seen. Now I do have more excitement on this game due to it being a new developer (Ghost Games), but not so much so that I don't forget who is pulling the strings, EA. Thus I'm still numb to it and not expecting GT/FM/Pcars/AC quality but a more open minded new start on NFS but to a degree.
Also I have no overly condescending tone, yet again people will read what they wish (ironic considering @McLaren tends to be in the same situations and yet liked your post) because of the fact someone is actually challenging their "better wisdom" on a topic.
@ImaRobot put it best earlier on this thread, it seems silly that certain people wish to place their special snowflake on a topic (this is condescending) and then get worked up and use an emotional out and say what you have. More or less you do you and I'll do my thing and no one should comment or debate on the subject. I'm not treating it all that serious it's a forum and I as anyone else has a right to disagree or agree openly with other users participating on said forum, so long as it's not derogatory or a breach of the AUP in this case. If you have issue with me commenting on your post, other posts or in general, the forums offer a nice feature that allows you to ignore other users.

My little review of the Beta.
i got to play the closed beta for two day's, "IGN, Too much rain"
seriously though, my car even remained wet in the Garage
, i did however grow quite attached my little Stanced Type R EK9
(sunshine yellow like the one in my avatar), "No i didn't have ridiculous camber" it was a decent clean setup, but as i drove around the city, i couldn't help but wish for a manual transmission. dropping it in fifth for a slow cruise to the hum of the exhaust on the freeway, or bounce off the redline hitting vtec. (prostreet memories) "It was a sorely missed feature"
The graphics are astounding, Even if it rains all the time, the graphics were absolutely gorgeous, infact that helps the visuals alot. although seing wetness all the time can get pretty tiring admittedly.
Sound, much like other nfs titles save for "rivals" was on point, i loved the sound of the GTR R34, it had that proper rumble of a tuned RB26 engine, smooth yet slightly raspy. The JZ sound of the Supra was reminiscent of the sample from NFSU2, which bought on a huge case of nostalgia...
Music? what music? the Engines are my music, thus the volume goes to 100 on engine sounds. 0 on BGM.
I noticed the city is rather "locked" what i mean is, in typical nfs fashion similar to rockport and many others, Alot of parts of the city that you think you can drive to were completely locked, so i'm guessing GG thought it was better to go with a linear Open world rather then a true open world like GTA's rendition of Los santos, or Los Angeles in The Crew.
That said, it is a pretty good size map, i just can't get my head around the California plates.. LA skyline, but the name is Ventura Bay..
Other then that, and the garage limit won't go into detail about that, it was a pretty entertaining ride, the drifting while alot fun, needs alot of work, i'd like alittle more imput rather then just a full lock drift with minimal inputs, i'm sure with some more tuning you can get the cars to drift more realistically, but even if you do, You're drifting an Automatic, which kind of kills the fun, the lack of balancing the throttle while shifting up and down for proper torque control imo is the best part of drifting. especially if you have a clutch.
But i was expecting the Drifting model used in Shift 2, it was actually pretty decent.
Hood view, while not cockpit was still a pretty entertaining drive, to just drive around V-B and take in the sites, I have to say the "LA" Skyline View on the horizon is very replicated, it immerses you in the urban surrounding.
by far the biggest plus for this game is the Car list and customization system. (We will leave out the wrap editor)
The game gets the jobs done of racing through a "sleepy" modern metropolis, But it's still missing that Underground Factor and alot of other key components to make it true successor to the NFSU's of the past.
Which sadly in the end make it feel like just another yearly EA NFS title. Rather then something Truly special like it was turning out to be.
Still i give it an 7/10 because it's going in the right direction, just needs some key features. not to mention it's goregous and the decent customization.

You said no one here has complained, yet I just picked 4 quotes from people who took some notion of it. So, no, it's not his take on it. It's ok, you were wrong on the claim.
Moglet & Kokos have played the beta.
That's not exactly what you were telling @willbsn13 when he brought up the topic.

Nor am I saying that I wasn't wrong... I'm re-clarifying for you that the hyperbole type route I went with wasn't the best wording in what I was quickly (yet should of taken more time) to express.
Where do I say they haven't or hinted? Let me just cut to the chase so this doesn't get dragged out forever by either of us, in short what I was saying is (after trying to re-clarify my point) that yes more than one person has said it rains quite a bit. However, the general reading of the entire thread since beta testing doesn't seem to indicate that at all, because it either isn't as big of an issue as few players are making it out to be or others don't care as much due to other issues. And I show this by giving the examples still complained about.
Because he directly asked me if it rains that much in LA and if its the 75% (his number) that the game puts out, I said no and gave him a more real view. Thus showing it is not accurate to the real LA, since the game itself tries to replicate rear world LA everywhere else but climate. Thus if you read my posts correctly instead of trying to read into it, you'll see all I'm simply saying is I don't see the wet roads being issued as much by the collective as that one user nor do I see the desolate night life that way either and posted why they seemed to go this route.
Since from the get go I never implied to know what GG's plan was but what they may have taken influence from or who, since the wetness is being complained about a bit more so recently (see @TorqueHappenS08 post), that is in part why I made the Seattle weather comment. You've seemed to ignore everything else I'm saying though so confused on that.

Once you apply any bodykit just try to change any part the bodykit it will ask you if you want to remove the bodykit.
9/10 for me
Not many improvements I can think of.

Does it seem that between the older car, sports cars and hyper cars, there is a big gap in power difference? Or can you tune all cars to be competitive with all cars for the most part?

Varies from car to car but the cars I own (check my media) on the beta feel equally as fast as each other.
