Start game over? [ Edited ]

[TheWaxwingSlain]

I started the game without my controller installed.  It defaulted to my keyboard of course.  By the time I got past the first race, I realized the keyboard controls were terrible.

I'd like to start the game over using my controller.   I dont' care about the score from my first race.  I want to go through the explanation of controls for my controller instead of the keyboard.

Is there any way to start this game over?  I can't find anything in the (rather confusing) menus.

Hi poperatzo,

Open Origin, right-click Need for Speed Most Wanted and choose "Show Game Details". Then switch to the Cloud Storage tab and untick "Enable cloud storage for all games". Navigate to "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Criterion Games" and delete or move the Need for Speed Most Wanted folder.

When you start the game again it should create a new save game, all the videos, settings, unlocks, etc should be reset.

Later on you can enable Cloud Storage again and it should sync automatically if you choose to use the local save game. 

I hope that helps.

Perfect.  That worked.

I later re-enabled "save games in the cloud" and all is well.

Awesome Thank you for letting me know that it worked.

I hope you enjoy the new Need for Speed as much as I do.
