I only played about an hour - game is real pretty and super boring. Maybe "watch cutscene, go to this place, drive a race, listen to message, go to place, watch cutscene, drive a race" is fun for some people, but for me it's awful. I don't feel like there are any stakes to anything, so I'm not sure why it matters if I win outside of winning is cool. There just isn't anything to do, and I'm not interested in spending a bunch of time customizing my car, so I'll keep waiting for a proper follow up to HP 2010.

I'm trying to play right now but it says that the servers are down. Did I miss it? Is it over?

No manual drive or cockpit view why?

I really don't get the difference between my speed and the speed of AI. Sometimes i and some bot drive on a straight way, and i'm way faster than him. A few seconds later (i'm still at full speed) he just overtakes me because he suddenly is way faster than me without me slowing down.
I know about acceleration and stuff, but when both of us are at full speed that always feels strange.
Maybe i just don't get the tuning part
Nah dude its nothing on your end, just the rubber banding AI. It was the same in rivals, MW2012, The Run......pretty much every NFS game has had it over the past couple of years
Damn really? That AI is so bad it pretty much kills the game for me. It seems so damn cheap and lazy.

Equip the best drift tires you can buy and set your car to near max drift mode. Don't have the camera set to action mode if it makes things harder for you.
I had a hard time but eventually pulled through and won with a ridiculous score after toying around in the garage. People just need to tune their cars if they don't like the handling and buy performance upgrades.
Best wishes.

Wait the beta ended?!!! WTF I spent like over 12hrs downloading the thing, avoiding using the internet in hopes of speeding the download up and in the end it turns out I missed getting in by 30min lol. To those lucky enough to of played it, was it any good?
Yeah it's unacceptable for a racing game in 2015 IMO
FYI, you weren't allowed to capture any footage/screens from the beta. I'd advise taking that vid down, before EA see it and do it for you.I had tons of fun in the beta. Did a quick video of me doing some spins?

Why is it impossible to pause solo mode? Because it's always online?

Not this shit again. They had the same retarded system in Rivals where you could not pause the game even in single player mode, that's so stupid I have no idea what's going through the devs minds when they make decisions like that.
Damn it ended?? I wanted to show the visuals to my brother. Fuck!

Did you read the NDA you agreed to when booting the game up?
I can't be the only one who won like only 2 races, because of the rubberbanding AI, right?
The last race I had, was where the 1st place was driving 400km/h and had a 3 checkpoint lead for no reason. Haven't crashed in that race and was driving perfectly fine, but that guy was still that much ahead. Just a horrible experience overall.
It's beyond silly.
All this always online crap, because the integrated social media thing and you see a coupple of Tweets during loading screens. Ridiculous.

Wtf they really ended it at midnight? Wanted to play a little more today, that sucks. I put some time in though, got to level 25 and did all story events and all customization I could do.
The only thing I hope they fixed that I had a problem with is the speed. Once you upgrade your car more, it does look like you're moving faster in the world, but theres a problem with the boost. Pressing boost literally makes no visual change other than the flame coming out of the exhaust. Doesn't make you feel like you are going any faster at all, its bizarre.
Hey guys. How are the sound effects and physics? Is it simcade or more like forza horizon?

It was pretty hilarious at times. I'm in a Lambo Aventadour going 209mph(yo Burnout) and then a shitty Skoda looking thing manages to catch up.The rubber banding is ridiculous in this beta, like stupidly bad almost to frustration levels..
You sure you went offline?I specifically went offline to practice time trials and they still have pseudo-online players so give feeling that "it's a realistic world".
You sure you went offline?
I really enjoyed it. But the biggest problem, THE BIGGEST PROBLEM is the AI. Fuck that AI. That is beyond stupid!
You'll be doing a drift race and they'll be going reversing down a hill or just doing a burnout in place. What's worse is the AI that do their own races. I specifically went offline to practice time trials and they still have pseudo-online players so give feeling that "it's a realistic world". The amount of times I hit a random "fake" player was annoying. They NEED to take that out. Imaginary racers doing imaginary races contribute nothing to my experience ...
Wait, if they have AI doing their own things in world why can't they let us play the game offline?
