Okay, I just want to say, I am loving this game. Its seems like they finally created a solid framework for a persistent need for speed experience going forward. I feel like they developers can really build off of this, if they play it smart, instead of releasing a subpar game every year or two, they can continue to build and evolve this experience to be bigger and badder.
So, onto the issues/requests.
1) There is already a cell phone, why not let players use that same phone to contact their friends via text or live chat? Its a no brainer. This game is online only - IT NEEDS MORE /BETTER CHAT FUNCTIONALITY!
2) I feel like some of the cars are rather limited in comparison to other cars. A prime example is the Foxbody Mustang. There is VERY little visual upgrade options. If they can't get any real license pieces, maybe offer an autosculpt feature? Or get creative and let us tweak different aspects like the frame, etc.
3) There really needs to be a very simple offline freeroam or versus mode. It wouldn't even be hard to do. Save a small file locally detailing car stats/appearance. The world is all virtually saved to the console already. Just make it accessible without the save functionality. Come on guys, don't be lazy. Its super easy. Want me to come write the code for you? XD
4) a few daytime races would be nice, just for a change of scenery.
5) additional areas/cities via DLC. Just keep building this thing yo!
6) the ability to write a word all at once using decal letters, instead of having to place every single letter. Also, the decal system is extremely poorly designed. For example, if you want to start editing one of the first decals you placed, you have to move all other layers downwards and then back out and go back in. Anyone else have a better way, please share!
7) I didn't see a need for the repeated GD words, other curse words are just as effective and much less offensive I think.
8) one of the greatest things about NFS underground 1 was the feeling of taking a beater good-for-nothing car and turning into your pumped out dream machine. You definitely hinted at that with this game, but I think It falls a little short. Obviously you can't put EVERY low end car in the game for time/licensing/cost reasons, but I think the low end lineup is seriously lacking. I mean, I love the Nissan 180, but what about the 240? Or the awesome twin turbo 300? You got a mustang foxbody and a few other classic cars, but what about the cutless, nova, or 69 Camaro? What about the little crappy tuners that us 30 year olds always wanted to trick out but couldn't. The Mazda mx-6 turbo, the 87 rx-7, the Toyota Celica GT. Honda prelude. Ford probe GT, plus 1,000 others.
Well, I'm sure there's tons more to rant about but that's all I can think of right now.
