MEETUPSMeetups in Lakeshore Online are where you get set up to prove your skills and show off your machine. Entering an online Meetup provides you with multiple race playlists in which to compete, with different tiers of cars required. Some are Single Tier Race Playlists, meaning only one Tier of car is required. Some are Mixed Tiered Race Playlists, so one race may need a Tier A car, while another needs a Tier S+ car. You’ll want to build up a stable of rides with different tunings and Tiers to guarantee you can compete in every online Playlist. You can always use a loaner car, but that’s like wearing someone else’s shoes. Completely up to you - or you can be a collector of fine racing machines. For each of the Race Playlists, you’ll see multiple events such as Street Races, Speed Races, and Corner King races, just like the race types in the campaign found at Meetups. Once you roll up to a Meetup and initiate a Race Playlist, you can invite everyone on the server (first come, first served - you snooze, you lose) or you can just invite members of your party. Up to seven other racers can join the race playlist. Once the first race in the Race Playlist starts, you’re in it to win it. Don’t back down. Win the Race Playlist to get the biggest payout - and the more racers in a Race Playlist, the more money there is to win and Bank. You can receive invites to a Race Playlist any time in Freeroam. If you’re in your garage, you’ll see the invite and can join from there - as long as you’re not too busy customizing your ride (or checking out some threads for your driver.)

Rip PvP in NFS Unbound.
This is the exact same story as NFS Heat back in 2019.
This is so sad.
From what I said in another thread:

It frustrates me that NFS Heat never did have a proper PvP system in the game like Speedlists from NFS 2015 (NFS Reboot) and NFS Payback. I would had played NFS Heat a lot more if it did have PvP.
From what I read in the IGN article:
"Multiplayer, meanwhile, has been tuned to be "as low friction as possible." When you go into the multiplayer mode you can drive around the world, meet up with friends, or just mess around. While there, "people will be pinging off race requests and playlist requests and you can seamlessly join any one of those events at any time,”
It sounds like NFS Unbound could have the exact same "PvP" system as NFS Heat.
In NFS Heat, you start a countdown for anyone to join the race you selected. Nobody joins. Then you restart the countdown several times in hoping someone joins, which nobody joins or just one player joins if you are very lucky.
Sounds it's gonna be the same story with NFS Unbound from what the IGN article describes.
Such a shame that NFS Unbound won't have a proper PvP system like Speedlists and will just have the same flawed system as NFS Heat.

Huuuge L with the online SMH... 4 player party? & No cops at launch? WTF.
Many other things to list btw but those 2 alone * me off being that I already pre-ordered the game digitally. Horrible baiting in the advertising.

Why is there no Day and Night Cycle in MP ? This is a big letdown. I hope they patch this in future.

We need more players on the servers only 16 is realy low, most of the races are empty or only 2 player.

@MarkphytonThat's sadly too much when it comes to Modern EA. The last NFS game that had online features was either HP 2010 or The run.
But i get you. Unbound is suffering the exact same issue as Heat did. No Endgame. There is absolutely zero reason to play after a while other than customizing or just messing around in free roam. There is nothing to go for. No PvP (Playlists isn't PvP, it's a join a new game session and hope more than 3 people joins simulator). No leaderboards, nothing. There is absolutely nothing to keep you playing.
Just a reminder for EA. Need for speed: Pro street had more online features than 2015, Payback, Heat & Unbound combined and that is a 2007 game btw.

@CyrisTM you say right! the only one Need for Speed for MultiPlayer was NEED FOR SPEED WORLD. I wish a new NEED FOR SPEED WORLD will be come back. Yes of course NFSW have a big cheater problem but its only EA´s mistake! they Killed BLACK BOX Studios and Black Box make NFSU , NFSU2, NFSMW, NFSW. Maybe the Devs make the Online Multiplayer Better ^^ but i have seen we are ATM in Lakeshore Online VOL.1 maybe they make Sessions or something. I hope they bring more then this Multiplayer *. ( sry for my word * ).
