Update Notes

Additions

Steering wheels

We know those of you that own a steering wheel are enjoying all kinds of racing games, and we want to give you the option to use your equipment in Need for Speed, too. We have been testing some steering wheels, but a few others that are not on this list might also work:

• Thrustmaster T300RS (PS4, PC)
• Thrustmaster TX (Xbox, PC)
• Thrustmaster T150 (PS4, PC)
• Thrustmaster TMX (Xbox, PC)
• Logitech G29 (PS4, PC)
• Logitech G920 (Xbox, PC)
• Fanatec CSL Elite Racing Wheel (PS4, PC, XB1)

For PC players: Please make sure to install the Logitech G Hub, regardless of the wheel manufacturer and model you are using.

For Console players: Please make sure that your steering wheel is assigned to your console profile before launching the game. When launching the game, press the respective steering wheel button on the title screen to enable steering wheel play: A on Xbox, X on PlayStation.

Please note that in order to access all features in the game, you will need to use a combination of steering wheel and controller.

Chat Wheel

To make communication in-game easier, we are implementing a chat wheel. That means you will be able to send pre-made text messages to friends or rivals. From saying hello, challenging players to a race or just asking them to follow you, we hope this feature makes communication easier for you. It also helps to cross language barriers, as incoming messages will be displayed in the same language that your game is set to. You can also turn the chat messages on or off at any time.

Keys to the Map

You might notice a new tab in the menu, the in-game store. It will feature the “Keys to the Map”. This is a real-money purchase which will uncover the locations on the in-game map, including collectibles, activities, and gas stations. You will still have to complete the activities like smashing billboards or 3-star jumps, but you won’t have to look for the locations. This is one of the things we announced around Gamescom, and you could also call it a time-saver pack.

After purchasing. players will only be able to see the activity locations on the map once they reach the respective REP level.

• Gas Stations, Safe Houses and Billboards will show after completing the prologue and reaching REP level 2.
• Speed Traps: REP level 3
• Street Art: REP level 5
• Jumps: REP level 9
• Drift Zones: REP level 11
• Flamingos: REP level 13

Please note that one thing will not be revealed by the Keys to the Map: One safe house location will be uncovered and unlocked upon reaching a certain point in the campaign and is not included here.

Quality of Life improvements

Using a controller with manual transmission 

• You have been bringing this one up a lot. When you’re driving using manual transmission on a controller, the bumper buttons not only are shifting up and down, but share a lot of different functionalities depending on context. You can bribe a cop, enter the garage, start an event, swap a car and more. Especially when shifting up after leaving the garage, this can be slightly awkward.

To improve the experience, all actions except shifting up and down now require you to hold the button for a short while to prevent accidental presses.

Note that this change only affects players that are using manual transmission.

Gas Stations

• You’ve been clear on that one: You want to showcase your cars in the best light, without any damage. We added some functionality to the gas stations to give your car a complete repair when driving through a gas station. Functional damage will be fixed, but also dust will be washed off and scratches repaired.

UI

• After finishing a night event, some UI elements will now stay on your screen. Both the minimap and the speedometer will remain visible, to make it easier to find your way to the nearest safe house if you want to bank your REP. Or to the gas station, if you need repairs and want to go again.
• We added a notification to the garage that will inform you if a server will be shutting down soon.
• Moved the “Escaped” notification to the bottom of the screen. It will now be shown in the same location as the “Escaping” notification after you escaped successfully. That should prevent a few accidents.
• There was no button prompt for “Back” in the decal menu, so we added one.
• The VoIP status bar is now visible on all screens if you’re in a party.
• When you quit a mission or event, the UI will now prompt you that all of your progress will be lost.
• We implemented a new waypoint icon and also polished some icons and notifications around the minimap.

Rewards for Drift events

• We updated the way rewards work for drift events. Now you will receive a reward even if you don’t hit the target score.

Bugfixes

• When restarting an event multiple times, they should now have a countdown every time.
• Completing an event in a personal best on the challenge level should now be properly reflected on the leaderboard.
• During one of the off-road events, you could encounter Rokkit & Rokkit. They probably thought they had better chances of winning when signing up for the race twice. We had a chat with them and one of them agreed to give up their spot for another driver.

• In rare cases, when crashing the car after a jump at Heat level 5, the car and UI would disappear, which should now be fixed.

From my understanding the game will support only 360/900 degree rotation steering wheels...

I have a Logitech Momo Racing wheel with 270 degree rotation, will I and other players who have similar steering wheels be able to play NFS Heat using such steering input? (PC)

If no, (hope we will), please implement the option "custom wheel" with ability to remap input similar to NFS 2015/2016.  

[TheRealJony]

I already said in the Under The Hood: January Update thread that I think this update is so lackluster.

There is still nothing to do after getting 100% game completion.

Still no end-game content such as PvP.

It already seems like they are trying to pull a "The Crew 2" and have PvP dead on arrival, which was the case with that game.

I will launch the game, check out the text messages of the chat wheel for 1 - 2 minutes, take a peek at the in-game store (even though I already completed the game 100%), and then close the game and go back to playing Code Vein (all of which would take just roughly 5 minutes).

UI

• Moved the “Escaped” notification to the bottom of the screen. It will now be shown in the same location as the “Escaping” notification after you escaped successfully. That should prevent a few accidents.

Even though I won't be benefiting from this change (already completed the game 100%), this is a good change.

This "Escape" popup was very annoying when it blocked my view for a brief few seconds.

Visual

• Added subtitles that were partially missing for one of Lucas’ phone calls.

I think I know what subtitles were missing from one of Lucas' phone calls.

It was the phone call to the player (which you only get upon completing everything in the main story), asking them if they can help spread the word about a discount to members of The League.

Nothing on drift. Is it so difficult to enable multiplayer drift? 

[waveepeak]

It can be sound demanding, but here what we need (or its only my dreams):

1) Fast Speedlist Run / Runked Speedlist Run (or if you have better ideas - something more interesting, but we need online competition without complications)
2) Better cars balance: slower RSR 2.8 '73 and Evolution VII '07, to make this cars closer to others

3) Custom Music In-Game Player (so i can delete songs from playlist if i don't like them). Or give us possibility to delete them from Main Menu Settings. I wish you can add even more music with new big updates. Wholud be cool!

4) More cars, of course, and even if you will add A LOT of cars with 30-40$ DLC - i will buy it immidiatly!

5) I can't be busted by police even after hours of racing, need more hardcore please, may be you can add some boss police cars at 5th level, or even add 2 more pursuit levels.

6) I was disapointed by the fact, that actually all objects are destructive. Even biggest lamp posts can be downed by cars. I undertand, this is arcade racing, but some of them must be tighter, so all the racers can play tajectory.

7) Better drift expirience like in NFS 2015

And i can add much more ideas for this game if i ask my friends from russian community (sadly that russian EA Answers HQ NFS Heat community is dead).

This is my first big messege to you, and I want to thank all the peopple who worked on this game, whos working now, fixing bugs, and add more content. Thank you, guys! Heat is verry promising project!
Im really sorry for my poor bad english.

[BossplayaOG]

@EA_David I notice that there isn't anything that mentions the use of a reset button when the car is flipped upside down. As well as we the user will love that if you guys give out a second update to unlock the rest of the map that is visible as well as a few more story missions, please. We love Need For Speed and we don't want it to die. Also, can you guy be successful in getting the Toyota license to get the Toyota cars as well as the iconic Supra to add to that the iconic Nissan Skyline GTR r33 as well, please!!!!!!!!

[waveepeak]

If they can get Toyota licence it can be so promising. They can add legendary Supra '02, Toyota Supra Mk IV, even new Toyota GR Supra, even Land Cruiser XD

[viktorpro_271]

@EA_David  When will there be a good DLS? When will you add new cars? When will we be able to compete in drift competitions with friends?
The fact that you have corrected your mistakes and shortcomings is good, but when you start doing something new for the game it is already boring to play!!!!

[l_s_R_l_s_l]

40080000Not okay yet?I can't play online, i'm in pain!

My EA number is bound to two PSN.

Thank you for updating.

Well, my feedback on the new update is negative. sorry.
Garage lighting improvements have been made in this update, but I am dissatisfied with the underlying issues not being addressed.
The left side of the car remains shaded while the right side of the car is lit by sunlight.
This makes the colors displayed visually different on the left and right sides of the car, making it slightly more difficult to create a wrap on the left side of the car. (And another reason for this problem is that less colors are stored in the used color history of the color palette.)
Payback and 2015 did not have this problem because the cars were illuminated by uniform lighting.
I hope the garage will get better lighting in future updates. Good luck, Ghost!
