^It comes out in 9 days, well that is what most of the videos say.
Are you able to use the new version of autosculpt or the wind tunnel?

Nope. You get to drive two races that are pretty much impossible to lose.
 
yeah, I'm definately renting this one before I buy it. The circuit race was snot easy. the speed challenge was a bit awkward. the handling blows goats, and the AI is still "dee-dee-dee," to quote Carlos Mencia. I'm gonna rent it, but I doubt I'll actually shell out $60 for this latest installment of zit juice EA decided to release...

EDIT: unless, of course, they revamp the AI and physics dramatically in little more than a week. :rolleyes:
 
i'll trade in my Carbon for it if it has G25 support. God carbon annoy's me everytime i play it ,as , on the Ps3 version atleast, all my fav wheel's can't be unlocked(glitch, all the volk wheel's and many other's cant be had):(
 
I'm excited about the speed challenges, but the one in the demo was too easy. I'd love to be able to spin out my opponents too.

Damage modelling is freakin' weird. Maybe it's just me, but any time my car strikes a telephone pole head-on it survives, yet if I glance one from the side (maybe it's the rear-view mirror hitting it), the car gets TOTALED. I've yet to total a car from head on collision with a static object. I wouldn't mind if entire car fields would be wiped out in a single race, I'd like to see the cars tak a little less beating before giving out on you.

Nevertheless, I'm excited about this game. Carbon was pathetic, this looks like a major improvement, even if it sucks.
 
6.8 from IGN. No Replays no photomode no buy. Thank you EA for ruining another good idea. Many complaints in IGN's review came from the cars feeling floaty and not driving remotely close to the real thing. Game Trailers gave it a similar score.

I'll rent it.
 
It really sucks, usually i'm at least a little bit excited to customize the car and just finish the sp story and then i usually uninstall it and move on but i'm not even bothered to finish this one... one word: disapointed.
 
The thing that made me really say, "No buy" is that they took out everything great about NFS.

You know. Racing supercars through heavy traffic with the man on your tail.
 
^I know what you mean. i really wanted free roam, after i beat the game i would just buy another car with my spare money and drive around and have a good time. now all i am going to do is the same tracks over and over. and today i heard they took out the "my cars" feature. i also did that in my free time. does anyone know if it is gone? i don't have the game yet but i have been following it for the past 3 months so i know some stuff but not everything. thanks.
 
Oh god....i wasted my money for this piece of 🤬!!!

I bought this game today, played it and the first thing i noticed was the control. It feels like 🤬, the worst of any NFS game i played so far. The CG animations looks great, the car detail was "okay" (yes, i'm playing the PS2 version) and the customization looks fantastic. I don't recommend anyone buying this game even if its for the sake of NFS. Renting it out should be better. But i still didn't try it with my G25 yet, hopefully i can drive better with the wheel or else..... 🤬!!!!

Okay....i take that comment all back. Its not a waste of money and it doesn't suck. Yeah i know, i'm probably gonna get flamed for this but hey, the game was quite good if you play it long enough. Well i passed the battle ground level and now doing the react team level. So far i'm only about +/- 20% complete and i have already become the Drag King (woohoo! :D) and owned about 6-7 cars now. I beat that girl in the Ford Mustang (forgot the name) with my Subaru Impreza. Well i think the Impreza was astonishingly quick in the 1/4 mile and the 1/2 mile drag. I fully mod the Impreza and tune it to have 1000+HP and 1000+NM of Torque!!!! :eek: Well the 1/4 mile time was around 8 but i did manage a 7.68 with NOS :D and under 12 seconds in the 1/2 mile.

The only thing i can say is the drag race mode seems quite good, better than the previous game, the race and drift physics needs to get used to it. Unrealistic yeah, but at least it wasn't that fake like the last few games....maybe i'm just too addicted to Need For Speed. Can't stop playing it for some reason....... :indiff:
 
How is the tuning in the game? Is it fun or just way too complicated? When i beat the game i usually just tune cars for fun. Could you make a video of the tuning process, i wasn't able to find any on youtube.

Well its quite basic actually, not so complicated like GT, but good enough to make a difference it terms of performance. But it was quite disappointing because they didn't have a test run at the setup screen from the garage like NFSU2. You had to go to a race day and do your setup from there. They also don't have those wind tunnel things and the dyno just sucks! (well i got the PS2 version, not so sure about the other consoles) Maybe i will upload a video by tomorrow if you like and maybe show you that sub 8 second Impreza :)

Oh yeah, godzilla_GTR, NFS Pro Street does support the G25 wheel. But its just the same setup as NFS Carbon. H-Gears and clutch but 200 degree steering 👎
 
^ok, thanks. i think the wind tunnel feature is only on the PS3 and Xbox 360. i really miss the test run feature from NFSU2:guilty:. i can't wait to get the game.
 
Thanks MNM_BMX, i'll hire it out for PS3 on monday or tuesday and post up my impressions. I love 1000hp car's i any game so i might be a bit biest(SP lol). I know it's just a number, but what a number it is:D

Thank you proving my point. This game does indeed "blow". Once again--albeit not surprinsgly--I am hugely disappointed in EA. NFS hasn't been any good in any form or fashion since HP2. I don't want to buy a Subaru Impreza, nor do I want to do ANY mods to the cars. I JUST WANT to get in an exotic or semi-exotic car and run from the fuzz while racing other cars. Is that so ****ing hard to do EA? FAIL.
 
I rented it. Biggest waste of $7.00 ever. 👎 :
Yeah, I don't drive with analog & I couldn't figure out how to change it. Strike 1. And since when does NFS have traction control?!

The graphics were sub-par, IMO... and the handling ( with or without TCS) sucked on a whole 'nother level. Strike 2.

Then the retarded announcer guy in the cut scenes--and the fact that your characters' already got a name! Strike 3!!!

This game fails on an epic level.

-48,000 outta 10. 👎
 
Jeez there are like 50 billion menus. I got lost in it a few times already...

And how do you get to the next level bit? Do you keep racing in that Nevada place or what?
 
Damn, am i the only one enjoying playing Pro Street? :nervous:
Everyone seems to hate it but me. I don't even know how to say how much i enjoy playing Pro Street!!!! :lol: Oh yeah, hemisport15, i'll try to post up the video later as well as my sick 1/4 mile in my 1000HP Impreza (seems weird really, even the Skyline GT-R R34 could only manage 800+HP max, maybe i found something interesting.....)

Edit: Well here are the videos! :D

Well you actually have to dominate the event first, then maybe you can progress. Just check the locked map and see what conditions you need to do in order to unlock it (ie. like how many events you have to win/dominate, etc.) But how the 🤬 did you get lost in the menu? I had no problem at all with the menus. Maybe thats why your a wallaby...... :lol:
 
thanks for the videos and nice job on the drag runs. i don't care what everyone says about how crappy the game is, i am still going to buy it. how much better is autosculpt in this one compared to carbon?

Well the autosculpt is definitely much better than Carbon, but they don't have those "ready made" body kits like Carbon. The wings, hoods, and roof scoop choices were limited, but then again, i don't really care about those stuff. The rims were quite ok, but they didn't include momo rims in the Ps2 version. :banghead: The muffler tip were top notch, but i can't remember which one of those exhaust were the "rocket" tip...... The decal and vynils were better than Carbon, although they look very ugly on the ps2 version when there fully scaled. They don't have the full CF bodykits anymore, nor do they include the CF vynil like in MW but i guess it doesn't matter either. Hope your really have decided on buying ProStreet. :)
 
I bought the PS3 version yesterday, and i find it quite fun ! ok it's a NFS, the gameplay is arcade, but i play with the G25, all assists off and in full manual mode ( the clutch is very usefull in drift mode) and the sensations are very good, i love playing with a light tuned Z4 M on the race tracks (i don't really like the street tracks).
To me it's not the best car game ever but Pro street has a certain charm, an I don't regret my purchase !

I agree 10,000%. Where did my High Stakes, Porsche Unleashed, and Hot Pursuit type of game go.

Yes but ive won like 20 odd time already and nothing seems to be happening.

Ahh finally i understood how NOT to get lost in the menus. I also found the next set of races :dunce:
 
Perfect Balance
How do you guys get the car to shift faster? I have a drag civic with stage 3 drivetrain but it shifts so painfully slow.
Click to expand...

tried perfect shifts yet? wait till the revs become green and shift to the next gear. Another thing is, did you have only the stage 3 drivetrain upgrade? Well try to upgrade the engine and/or turbo to stage 3 and it will work better wtih the tranny. If all else fails, try to increase the final gear ratio and mix the 1-6 gears and see which works for you. Oh yeah, maybe try and mix your CRM either medium to high end torque (the low end torque didn't help my Impreza either :indiff:) So this would help you very much. :)

This is all obvious things, I've tried all of them.

Your impreza just shifts a lot faster than my civic.
 
Hey ive just noticed, this game is actually pretty good. I know everything is retarded but it is kinda fun :dunce: When you get to the next stages, the AI in drag races are actually kinda hard :lol:
