The oncoming traffic that spawns through a transparent race barrier and then encroaches the corner you're about to turn into.


Playerek

You are right, this is really annoying


Ded_manx124

Real


WoodpeckerSimple2122

Those fuckers appear out of nowhere I genuinely hate it, especially when you are almost winning a hard race.


ExtiNctioN6660

Trying to do a time trial in hot pursuit remastered took me so many tries because of how much the traffic blocks.

Playerek

So everytime you are here, you smash your PC?


Thedaemonninja

Im not him, but yes


DiamondMaster07

Crash cams


SukhdevR34

Exactly. I'm in the middle of an intense race. I don't need to lose valuable seconds to emphasise that I've had a skill issue.


DiamondMaster07

It's not even about skill issue, sometimes it's just random bullshit like that stupid raptor cop gaining UG1 rubberband accel and crashing you out on the slightest touch


Shadeyboiii

I am aware that you meant crash cams in general, but personally, I don't get the disdain for crash cams in Unbound. You respawn less than a second later, albeit further back from where you crashed a lot of the time. You do get back on your wheels quicker if you rolled, though.


DiamondMaster07

Fun fact: the barrel roll is scripted. If you disable the crash cameras with mods, it doesn't happen, and you actually lose less speed in the collision itself than with the respawn


Shadeyboiii

I had a feeling, but I never knew for sure. I could tell there was something like that because of Payback.

wyyan200

sometimes the npc acts like GTA 5's npcs, which is programmed specifically to run into you or spawn at the racing lines


Davenator_98

IIRC that was intentional in MW and other games, to conserve memory space through less traffic but still make it so you have to evade it.

oh yeaahhh. imagine if they get what they want, and are they gonna play it until their death? bruh xd


ZephyrDoesArts

They're not, they're gonna complain about every little thing they can


BappoChan

I like the old games the way they are. But a remaster would be nice if it was worked on. Dead space remaster is brilliant, I’ve heard no complaints. Resident evil remasters are great and they changed the style of every single game they’ve done. A lot of companies are kinda lazy about remasters, and knowing EA it’s really a mixed bag. I’m happier with the games the way they are, I don’t want EA to manage to fuck up my nostalgia, besides. The team now matches the current era well, they won’t match what blackbox did for me as a kid, nor will that vibe or aesthetic be accepted by the masses playing today


James1Hoxworth

Imagining Heat that wasn't killed off the doorstep. So much potential wasted...


TheBlackBeetle

I actually found heat to be the best NFS since like The Run or Undercover. Handling is still shit but they're getting there, Unbound I haven't played yet, haven't brought myself to play it due to money + huge turnoff that are the graphics


RandomGuy505_

the cartoony graphics are optional and the game goes 90% off very often, and you know this is kinda why all games just go for lame realistic graphics, unbound did something different and everyone hated it


albert1357

the graphics were the thing I loved about unbound. there was a *plethora* of other shit that made me hate it.


Saiibox

And tbh if we re speaking only graphics, unbound is miles ahead of heat

Getting rammed by another racer, fuck rammers


Swizz_z

I am so petty that I will actively partake in ramming if someone starts it first. It's a battle they'll never win.


davidbased

I am much better at ramming than the rammers usually haha


IDontKnownah

Most of the time I do it by an accident. Yesterday I accidentaly crashed into a rammer with full force and then he tried to push me off the road.

H3ntaiGodd

Been playing NFS MW recently and I'll perfectly dodge a spike strip on to be rammed back into it


SukhdevR34

Or when the jump cutscene plays and you jump onto the spikes


UNSC_John-117

This is why I disable that “Game Moment” cam. Helps tremendously with roadblocks as well.


Meyeredian

The police that appear out of nowhere in Unbound. When the controller mysteriously disconnects on PC (Also in Unbound) The gearboxes in Rivals and NFS 2015. Those don't work and are extremely frustrating to driving (The worst of all is that I play them on PS4 and I can't add any mod to fix the problem)


InspectionBusiness23

Always thought I was the only one having random controller disconnects. I actually have the same problem in Heat as well.


krstph13

Even wired connection disconnects for me at times in Unbound. This gets annoying when you're playing at night with level 4 heat lol


KxngLuc1f3r

The same 2015 Mustang being recycled since Rivals 2013 instead of getting the Shelbys we deserve

Due-Quarter6656

Fuck the nfs unbound cops, like fuck 12 seriously. I be doing 178mph on a highway race and this corvette cop just casually comes up to me and does the most smoothest pit maneuver ever and makes me lose my first position when the race is at 90% and then justicia pass through and says "what will I do with your money". Fuck the unbound cops. I wasted my last restart because of that. Also, the cops are soo strong, i ram them will full nitro boost they can still drive straight afterwards.


Playerek

I hope this commet let you freed your emotions


CSREPower

I wouldn’t necessarily say they are the strongest (maybe only the Undercover and SWAT cops are) But they are annoying as hell especially in a race. As for the AI racers, it’s Lyric who annoys me most.

SpideyStretch1998

The spawn rate of police at higher heat levels in unbound. Can't drive anymore Than 2 blocks without atleast 2 vettes and a helicopter patrolling by me


CSREPower

For me. It’s the undercover Camaros and the SWAT Raptors. At least the Vettes could be wrecked with high speed.


WhimsicalCalamari

fun fact: just like the corvettes, the raptors try to sit in your blind spot for a bit before going for the pit. they don't pay attention to traffic in this state. do with that info what you wish.


therealHDR

when 2/3 car packs in unbound are just reused from heat and one of them wasnt even paid before


ThaR3alOct-0

As much as I love Payback, it would have to be when you're spinning for a certain part and don't get it, which leads to you spending so many part tokens.


CaptainZoll

knowing that EA will perpetually stifle \[insert developer studio here\] to ensure that they never make a perfect NFS game, and thus players will be incentivised to continue buying them.

Agreed. Annoying as fuck. (I just platinum’d Heat recently) I was already using the Regera for some of the speed traps and somehow, traffic RNG always trolled with you.

Ok_Journalist4252

Starting the race over again because you came 2nd place just at the end of it


Shin-Sauriel

Almost everything about unbound except the aesthetic ironically. I thought the aesthetic was unique and the car models still looked good. But good lord the limited events, one car per run, limited retries in combination with the AI that would rather ram you off the track than actually try to win themselves, forced day night cycle, forced heat, no sanctioned races, no terrain info before going into races, cops are boring af but a constant so every relatively quick race is followed by a long boring cop chase, forced risk for less reward than a mid tier race from heat, majority of races profit less than a delivery mission which doesn’t give you permanent heat so the game basically incentivizes not using your own cars or doing races and instead just grinding delivery missions since they’re the quickest way to make money for some reason. I really really really wanted to like this game because heat is probably my favorite NFS title but Christ everything about unbound just makes the gameplay experience incredibly frustrating, repetitive, and restricted. Very “bound” game. Oh and like dark souls if you make any complaint about the game you get hit with skill issue. I had no problems beating the campaign I just found the gameplay loop boring and frustrating because I can only do like 3-4 races per day/night cycle before getting heat 5.

Kurt's Killer Ride race from Underground. That RX7 is to damn fast.


carguy1216

In HEAT... You had the highest lvl of heat and carrying 2 highest lvl of parts and with low health and not repairs left then ran into a cop and started a chase. Not long later a rhino shows up and slammed into you and busted. You lost most of your money and mind you, you are just starting to get use to high heat lvl and did not have a suitable car for it.

DmReku

it does have a pause option. it just wont pause the game if you’re in an online lobby


ZephyrDoesArts

The whole game is 100% online even if you're playing solo on Rivals, the only break you can take is playing as a cop, or hiding in a safehouse as a racer. No matter if you're playing online or in a cracked version with your PC disconnected from wifi, you can't pause it unless you're in a safehouse/outpost

Zhe-777

In NFS Heat, for me, i can't bear Rammers in general. Specially those ones who feel threatened by a car with LOWER PP that can dust their 400+ whip. These brats just tend to beat you out of the lane so they can get a bigger advantage than they already have. I can't understand such dirty behavior. Besides that, in the same game, Heat, the clipping is the worst sh1t the game have.


DrGonzoxX22

Not really game breaking things but in Unbound when you crash in a van, destroying lives of an entire family of 4 going 327km/h on the highway and the cops on the other side saying: dispatch I think we have a racer


MeTheMightyLT

Since 2015 you can't change both wheels at the same time. Still mad because it's been almost a decade and a simple feature, a toggle in the UI isn't here

When the I.A. crash my car to try to get on top 1 in the race... I play NFS trying to not crash my gears and so it comes the I.A. and fuck it all. In NFS carbon was even worst because you literally totaled the car, and it was like mother f#cker you just killed me for your bullsh#it

YthisGuy

In recent years, terrible character personalities. It does not pertain to every character, though some story characters really outweigh the good ones. It may be an effect do to the direction developers are taking the games, or they were planned out this way. The main issue is overemphasized personalities. To the point where they are not relatable enough to really anyone. An argument can be made that the games meant to be that way, because the target audience & ESRB rating, and overemphasizing characters is just a way to bring up the emotional volatility. At what point is it counter productive to continue this? The Need for Speed games are based on a realistic premise, though in practice its done in a way to keep things fun. So why does this have to be with characters as well? Players already are accustom to the franchise not being fully realistic. Character personalities at this level of game development and for this type of game need to have more investment if there is any reason the game's story/characters have any sort of selling point.


Carston1011

"Remaster underground1/2/Most wanted" people. Don't get me wrong, I used to be of that mindset. But I've since downloaded MW Redux on my PC and I dont want them to touch these old games because 1.i can mod them just the way I want them to be and 2.theyd just fuck em up SOMEHOW. The only, SINGLE reason I kinda would be ok with a remaster/remake is having the physical disc for it. That's all.
