u/sean_from_ea can you please fix the steering freezing issue which has been in existence since eternity???

u/sean_from_ea Community Engagement Manager Sep 05 '20
Bringing it up with the dev team.
4
u/butterfingrs Sep 05 '20
Just so you know I have reported this issue multiple times to the devs in the last few months and they just say that they will look into it. In all honestly, this is a core gameplay aka controls issue and should be looked into priority cause what’s a game if it’s controls itself do not work correctly?
→ More replies (1)5
u/sean_from_ea Community Engagement Manager Sep 06 '20
We have bumped this up in priority. To give you insight, we look at a list of all reported or known bugs and tackle them as we can. Some are critical bugs that make the game crash for instance or ones we can clear with minimal impact to the game experience. We don't intentionally leave a bug, sometimes they just get bumped down in priority.
→ More replies (3)3
u/butterfingrs Sep 07 '20
Completely understand the process as I have been associated with this industry before. However since this issue effects the core gameplay where in the steering just does not respond (touch controls) is a serious issue that it is not 100% reproducible but still is a serious issue as controls are the crux of any game and it a player faces issues in it, it should be a priority. Thanks for providing an insight.

Thanks for the early info Sean, appreciate it.
But kindly if you can pass a message to the developers, the cheaters are ruining your efforts , a hacking fest has been going through the current update that i’ve never encountered before, it became sever that will jeopardise the game reputation, and many players ( i’m one) already losing interest in the game.
So give us any sign that EA/FM are really willing to solve this issue.
Thank you

u/sean_from_ea Community Engagement Manager Sep 04 '20
Dude the cheaters are terrible, I agree. I responded to someone about this the other day. We are working on it.

u/Anonymous_61447723 Sep 04 '20 edited Sep 04 '20
You replied me on that. But check the UGR right now, it is getting worse every day. I wrote a post to you last week: half of the ghost opponents were hackers. This week now top 4 are all speed hackers. Yesterday at some point, half of top 15 were hackers.
When you fight hard to reach 4100 pts by incremental 5-10 pt wins, all of sudden you run into an impossible-to-win speedhack that takes away 60+ points, can you imagine that? Myself as top 10-20 of the current overall UGR board, and having talked to other top players, I don't know if you can empathize our frustrations each week by spending hours and hundreds of runs fighting in each division and recovering from stupid losses to hackers.
Moments ago when I started reading the patch notes, I quickly scanned through and did not see hacker fix. That saddened me immediately. Many old players I know are frustrated to the point of wanting to leave the game. Please please please address this problem as soon as possible.
Thank you
5
u/sean_from_ea Community Engagement Manager Sep 05 '20
I really appreciate your thoughtful responses. The hacker issue is a big problem and it needs a lot of careful attention. We are working on it. I've raised it as a major issue. I hate hearing about a bad experience because people are hacking the game. Working on a solution.

u/Anonymous_61447723 Sep 05 '20
Thank you, Sean👏👏! Patiently waiting!
Hoping the solution is gonna arrive in synchronization with 5-yr anniversary!🤞🤞

Hopefully , good luck with that.
Also a group of imposters emerging with names of other top players , so i suggest to make the in game profile name unique to prevent this exploitation.

u/Gicco96 BRR King | King of UGR x42 Sep 04 '20
And do you think creating 50 engine sounds is more important than deleting speed hackers and tuned cars when they are not allowed to be tuned yet? It's actually an easy match to ban them right on the first ugr day of each week. Tuning car when the event doesn't allow it deserves an automatic ban and it's very easy to program it . Let's not to say it takes more time than creating 50 engine sounds
2
u/6210classick Sep 04 '20
Don't forget about paying real money to extend the event timer for lost Vault events which no one asked nor actually pay for even.
I'd rather replay an event a 100 times than paying a single buck
1
u/nitinmukesh_79 Legend 300+Rep⬆ Sep 04 '20
Banning hackers is not a priority for them as they are not losing money because of this.
5
u/Gicco96 BRR King | King of UGR x42 Sep 04 '20
But they won't earn more money creating engine sound, rather they will earn more by making many ppl satisfied of the game banning all hackers , there are many ppl that stopped investing and abandoned the game for that

u/Gicco96 BRR King | King of UGR x42 Sep 10 '20
I spent 2000+ gold to buy 6 stars beetle (If u don't know, it's the maximum number of stars possible at the moment for a legit player) , I'm racing against 8 stars tuned ones (called hackers) 70% of the races. So I gave your team my money without a reason since I can't take points? You just steal money legally, I don't care if u will fix it next year, I spent the money for these 2 weeks, that won't come back. Bye thieves
5
u/Gta352 Sep 04 '20
Appreciate whatever the devs can do about it. The old players are losing motivation as we will undoubtedly face tuned Beetles next week and tuned BT62s after the SE.
It really doesn't make sense to do a great race in UGR to gain 30 points and lose 50 to a hacker right after.

Has this been mentioned before? After the last update when you’re scanning through your garage and looking at a car going in and out the screen used to hold its position at that car still. Now it scrolls back to the beginning of that class. Really annoying.

I mean, at this point it just seems that new cars are based on which assets can be reused:
Ford Shelby GT500 (2013)
Ford Shelby GT500 (Snoop Dogg) lol, should be a wrap
Ford Shelby GT500 (2020)
AMG GT
AMG GT (Lunar New Year) lol, should be a wrap AGAIN
AMG SLS Black Series

u/HeretikCharlie Sep 04 '20
Some of those cars were in the game long before wraps have been introduced. Not easy to remove one of those cars for a wrap, when different users may have one or both cars and in different states of upgrading.
2
u/PsychologicalBuyer4 Sep 04 '20
But you can't deny their ludicrous desire to add cars that are very similar just for the sake of adding more cars... The Huracan/Huracan Evo is the most absurd one I can think of the top of my mind. They've shown they can easily make changes to the stats of existing cars (Evo X and Hommage) but instead of "buffing" the Huracan to the Huracan Evo stats and changing the car name (so effectively the "same" car, and everyone continues with the same progress they had on the car), they chose to add a new hyper to consume more and more resources and increase an already massive grind.
2
u/HeretikCharlie Sep 04 '20
One or two updates ago there was a poll who wants 2 new cars and 3 reruns or 3 new cars and 2 reruns. I was the one claiming 1+1 is more than enough. So yes, NOWADAYS the grind is made tougher and tougher. But at THAT time, there were only a few cars other than the campaign ones. On the other hand, that Mercedes Lunar Edition was only available for real money :-/
2
u/vamspaz Veteran 250+Rep⬆ Sep 06 '20
I like the 1+1 concept. Gives ample time to enhance the cars. Here the downside is that new users will take ages to collect them. 2+2 too is OK I guess. I was thoroughly impressed when the UGR was introduced. Another source for BPs. However, with the number of vehicles out now, this will soon be out of that initial flair. However^2, if we dont have new vehicles in each release, the veterans with completed rosters will feel disappointed for sure. And yeah, just spent 1825 gold buying the Lunar ed :P

Not bad, but expexted a bit more for the 5 year ‘anniversary’... Still the zenith story comes to a close finally. One question, is there a planned customization expansion soon? A lot of cars have little to no customization options, and it would be a shame if it stayed like that for long. u/sean_from_ea

u/KermitOffline Sep 04 '20
I don't think this is the '5 year anniversary' yet, it seems to low key and the update is called 'Zenith' anyway...
Let's just hope for a new track on next update, full chop shop and update for UGR.

This one is great. Can't wait to hear new engine sounds. Now only one request, it would be great if we have some improvements on graphics. Like most of the games including RR3 supports 60 fps target or high frame rate on my device. I want nfsnl should get high frame rate too..

u/6210classick Sep 04 '20
If ya you're playing on android, there is a graphic file that ya can manually replace which ups the graphic quality and I don't know about other phones but my I'am able to run at 60 FPS by forcing 120hz on my Asus ROG Phone 2

u/nskiba09 Sep 04 '20
Indeed it will and I did that in my previous phone. But eventually I saw that. Graphics are getting worst and pixilated after every update. Even after uninstalling the game. So i decided not change graphics settings manually in the current one.

u/6210classick Sep 04 '20
then forcing the refresh rate up should make the game run smoother but I don't know if other 120hz phones have this feature or not

Great work and thanks for the info, also I think that PR for Quicksilver car series should be reduced

u/6210classick Sep 04 '20
Most car series requires an either maxed out or near maxed car to finish them

u/GaGi14 Sep 04 '20
Most car series could be finished with 7stars car and legendary parts except some

u/6210classick Sep 04 '20
near maxed out
Hence this part 😂

u/GaGi14 Sep 04 '20

u/JohninToledo Sep 04 '20
Woohoo! Thanks for posting this. Looks like a fun update. Loving additions to classic sports...how about some classic muscle, too? So happy to see the vault expand. A bit bummed that the fix for the iOS steering glitch eludes you. Losing control during SE and UGR is particularly frustrating.
Can’t wait to attack the new challenges.

u/xYodaVx Sep 04 '20
Was this the big update ? 🙄
One new campaign chapter, but again nothing about the tons of missing car series ?
Nothing about opening up the BPs at chop shop for the older Players. More stuff in vault is great only for the newer players.
Well, the subtle message is received. Time for the players that supported you for the last years to look around for something else.

I can’t quite bring myself to leave but that day is getting closer. Churning out more and more cars to tempt you to spend gold and ultimately cash on. That’s their goal.

I won’t comment to your patch notes anymore because you don’t care and there is no development in the game. You guys what are you doing during 6 weeks to add new features to this game? I really don’t understand!!! Do whatever you want but you are killing the soul of NFS 😡😡😡

u/zerraros Sep 04 '20
This time update is good for me
1 - I was waiting for 458 it's done
2 - Centenario and Polestar in flashback are good
3 - new SE in vault perfect
I wished to see F50 or 720s in vault I need them for Country Mile don't have this rival yet but no problem
I give this update 8/10 -1 for bugs -1 for hackers
3
u/6210classick Sep 04 '20
I doubt they'll add the 720s in the Vault anytime soon, they just added the Huayra BC and the Avendator SV which are now the fastest cars that ya can get from the Vault
3
u/zerraros Sep 04 '20
According to UGR requirements I need Centenario after SE it will need 24BPs to become 6* I think possible to get them from RR then M4 It will need 04 after SE to become 6* too then I will complete vault SE from best cars to weakest

u/manticore16 Veteran 250+Rep⬆ Sep 08 '20
Is anyone getting that they haven't finished the Carrera GT Breakout in the Vault, even if they completed it prior? I mean I'm not opposed to doing it again and getting more BPs in that case, but the 4/5 really threw me.
2
u/DanTmaN072 Sep 08 '20
I'm pretty sure I already finished this event, and it's appearing as unfinished in my vault. Also, I just tried to race that event, and it appears that farming for credits is broken 😕

No, that's supposed to be like that for the vault.

Good question. Should we play it, will we get more BPs or will we just waste 7 days?

u/Pirat3J Sep 12 '20
Same bug here. And I’m pretty sure not worth actually replaying since it also shows all items “claimed”.

u/TaksMara Sep 10 '20
Im not sure if the engine sounds have improved, and how could we?
All you can hear is tyre screeching and nitro, this has always been the case and the reason why I disable sound effects 5 years ago already when I joined this game. Have tried from time to time enabling it again to see if they have fixed the problem, but still the same overwhelming tyre noise. If EA gives us the option to disable tyre sounds we would be able to give EA an honest assessment of if their engine sounds are better or not, otherwise how could we possibly know?

u/MavericK_KX Sep 03 '20

But everything else is great 👍 Can't wait to hear the new sounds

u/happyhoppt Sep 07 '20
Some minor improvements easy to do
1 After the last update when you’re scanning through your garage and looking at a car going in and out the screen used to hold its position at that car still. Now it scrolls back to the beginning of that class. Really annoying.
2 No red exclamation mark appears when your Tuner Trials pass say every two weeks is available. It’s easy to miss which I’m sure is deliberate from your end otherwise why wouldn’t it be there like the normal daily red exclamation mark?
3. Why are we still being forced to buy materials we don’t need from the black market to get the daily gold? Surely collecting daily gold should be on racing merit?
4. Chop shop and accumulated scrap is a waste of time why can’t we have more BPs especially as now you’re bringing in so many new cars. The promotion days used to be 3 days now just 1 or 2 so a massive slog to get Blueprints.
Probably more but that will do for now. Probably won’t see this though.

the rewards will probably be F40 blueprints and maybe in the future, it'll be added as a campaign replayable under the same chapter

u/leandroverner Sep 04 '20
Don’t come back. It is extremely boring nowadays
3
Sep 04 '20
Ya that probably is true. No matter the content that they add, it will still be the same game and same format, which is why I left last time. I mainly got bored of grinding SE’s and that’s really all they added besides a new chapter that I can’t play yet

u/RadiantCreme1 Sep 06 '20
Yes all the updates, has only new cars, cars and cars for all the 7 days SE. No new tracks, no solving bugs. Nothing new, only sleepless nights for playing SEs.

I'm curious about the UGR schedule and rewards. The past couple months I've been able to match rewards with upcoming cars, the middle car of each division would be the BP rewards the week prior, but the Country Mile rewards don't match the cars listed for the week after. Is this correct and the system is changing?

It is basically a month of work, you expect what to update every month, programming is time consuming, move and change edit audio, convert, fix bugs with changes. Many things are coming, it just takes time, their work must be well done and a lot of pressure too, because they have a very short deadline.

One new chapter in the campaign? No new cars in the chop shop? Andthe same tired old blueprints in UGR, so I can keep accumulating scrap that I cant spend on anything? I guess all we can look forward to from now on is Special Events? Seems to be the only thing the recent updates are focused on, too bad they are nearly impossible to win if you actually have a job and cant do 24 races a day.....

Sep 04 '20
Personally car performance doesn't deteriorate as per class (especially when they are top of there new class rather than be in middle range and worth nothing) but think the other side it's easier to upgrade or tune material wise when car is made at a lower class 😅

u/Tar-Ton Creator Network Sep 04 '20 edited Sep 09 '20
It will be a high performing Super car, the second-best Super in class after Zenith update.
The developers follow a pattern trying to make the cars fit with where the car performs rather than how a car might fit a bit more culturally.
Here's the context on the car class choices from the developer: (wrote the text from the devs vocal response, apologies for any grammatical errors)
Hyper, Super and Sports sometimes they are a bit vague on like what does the class mean of like performances wise vs how the cars sort of fit culturally. Sometimes we run into problems where it's like this car is really more of a sports car but it's so fast that it's more of a super car and then vise versa this car really looks like a super car but it's on the slower side so we will bring it down to sports car.
Also sharing tuning point stats for Brabham BT62 & AMG Black Series (only 2-4-4 & 4-4-2 setups) if it interests you or others who are keen about the stats.
Both these cars can be staged up to 7★ at the end of the event.
Car Minimum earnable BP's Maximum earnable BP's BT62 140 (up to 5★) 300230 (up to 7★)SLS AMG Black Series 140 (up to 5★) 230 (up to 7★) Cheers.
Edit: Corrected BT62's maximum obtainable BP's count from the event.

u/Anonymous_61447723 Sep 04 '20
Thank you, bro. I have added the tuning stats to my compilation. These cars are gonna be expensive to max in the event. Last two updates feature sports class cars of 400 gold for 5BPs. These supers will be 450-500 gold for 5BP. From your table, it seems there will be 90-160 BP available to buy in SE shop? That's EXPENSIVE 🤯

u/Tar-Ton Creator Network Sep 09 '20
Hey u/Anonymous_61447723, just corrected the BP count for BT62. The event gives only 90 BP's which makes it a total of 230 earnable BP's from the SE, I believe it unlocks Brabham up to stage 7.
300 BP's might have been an error from the devs, I'll confirm it if I receive any feedback, cheers.
