Need For Speed Shift

[FordGT90Concept]

Every event lists what tiers it will accept (e.g. Tier 1-2). That means you can take a Tier 1 car into a Tier 2 race; however, a fully tuned Tier 2 car will probably fair better than a fully tuned Tier 1 car.


A Civic couldn't hold together at 200+ MPH. That's what separates the super cars from the rest--aerodynamics. In order to make a Civic hit 250 MPH like the Veyron, your body and chassis would have be so modified that you couldn't really even call it a Civic anymore.

Doesn't matter. It would still cost about the same. Besides, Civics don't fly apart at over 200mph anyway. There are a few that have done it on the salt flats.

There's also the fact that you would need to adjust the frame on a civic to input a large enough engine to reach +200mph.

Anyway back to the game. Driving with a wheel has been fine till I did the drifting. It is god awful with 270 degree steering. If it had 900 this wouldnt be such a problem im sure.

If Drifting is anything like ProStreet, there's no fixing it. Drifting was only good in Underground and Underground 2. Ever since, it's been a PITA.

could of been because i was using a controller in pro street. but there i could control it. now its just messed up.

Put the engine in the back of the Civic and you now have a solid platform for handling. (btw, 500HP is not hard from a civic. There are B16 powered Civics Cranking out over 750HP, and that's just from 1.6L. Take that up to 2l or more, and the power continues to climb).

No, any car has the ability to jump to the highest tier, given the proper budget. It wouldn't cost you any more money to make a Civic as fast as a Veyron, than it would to buy a Veyron. It would be a hell of a lot more work, and more time consuming tho. lol.

Oh I know you can cut a car apart all you want and make it much better, but then how much of a civic is it really? I always liked SHOgun's, but I would hardly call that a Festiva. And I know there are B series motors that can crank out huge power, but the amount of boost required to do this is unreal, would it really be a good track machine? And how much money does it take to hit 750whp? If you gotta replace the block your pretty much replacing flat out everything and once again that becomes a , is this really a civic thing? By the end of the ordeal you have pretty mcuh replaced the entire vehicle and moved the drivetrain. What I see as realistic tier jumps are vehicles that can take the power and have better orientation to work with from the factor. Like the LSx motors, you can look at 600whp on just a lowly LS1 block, from there it really only goes up. OR even the 4.6L's from the 03-04 Cobra's or the new 5.4L's, can take unreal amounts of power and easily for cheap.

What you can do with money is limitless, but there is a limit on whats realistic, even for people with tons of cash. And to make a trackable Civic or Teg with Supercar power, and not cutting out floor pans and moving things around is going to result in a laggy understeering car. It is still a game, the limits on what they are going to allow maybe could be motor swaps like Forza, but drivetrain layout swaps, I think thats a ways out.

Edit: The more I play it, the more I hate it.

i know what you mean. there is so much going on with points for little everything. i can understand they wanted to make it look good, but they overdid it in my opinion. Look at how many screens with points come up at the end of the race, kind of annoying

plus all those cars flying off into purple lines is just irritating.

menu doesn't look good, the buttons in menus look blurry, like upscaled from lower res to higher.

A lot of people in ATI forums are complaining about low FPS in the game. Is the game unoptimized or what?

 

[AphexDreamer]

I got the game and I'm not to happy with it, Graphics are maxed out, FPS are great (even though I'm ATI) and I'm a NFS fan but the game just didn't live up to its hype imo. It doesn't look as good as I thought it was or play either.

 

[EastCoasthandle]

Try these settings guys its a nice base line an brings the cars under control:

Steering Dead Zone 35
Accelerator Dead Zone 5%
Brake Dead Zone 5%
Steering Sensitivity 30%
Braking Sensitivity 35%
Speed Steering sensitivity 100%

Ok I got another bit of fine adjustments if you guys want to try them out:
Steering Dead Zone-15%
Accel Dead Zone-10%
Brake Dead Zone-10%
Steering sensitivity-5%
Acell Sensitivity -5%
Brake sensitivity-5%
Speed steering Sensitivity 100%

Gives a little bit more range on the sticks an triggers for better control an No snap over steer!

This article provides good information on how to setup your gamepad or wheel. This is worth looking at as it gives good info on how to setup your wheel or your gamepad.

I will admit it does not look as good as they showed it too but its still a game thats fun to play at least

I have to kill WCG in order to make it remotely playable. With WCG on, I get flashbacks to ProStreet in Nevada.

EA's the thief on this one. I want a refund.

I actually like the fact that cars don't change tier. IMO it was stupid that (i.e.) a Civic was as fast as the supercars when all of them were fully upgraded. You could make it through the games with your starting car too, there was no need to change it. No matter how much you like your Civic, Golf GTi or Clio, it will never have a chance against a tunned supercar.

really? dont forget that the fastest street legal car (i believe in 2003) was an inline 6 cylinder Toyota celica at 1500 horsepower. It is very typical for any car to beat a supercar with enough drivetrain/powertrain/weight reduction enhancement, and has been shown plenty of times.

hell, you can guarantee that at any one time there are more faster civics driving on the road than any one supercar. There are tons and tons of civics that have over 600, 700, and 800WHP all over the place, even in just the US.

Read a street racing magazine sometime folks. I know of a guy here in tennesse that has a 700HP Supra, and the only things hes done to it is an engine bore, a higher twin-turbo, and more small tweaks, and he doesnt make more than $60k or so a year.

I want to be able to tube frame a car. As long as it still carries the original VIN, it's still a Civic, as far as I'm concerned. lol. But, I wouldn't do that to a Civic anyway. I'd rather take a 240sx to those extremes. That's much more feasible.

Too obvious. I switched to rice because everyone around here assumes they're slow. I'm obsessed with sleepers. lol.

Tho I still want to build a fox hatch with a complete 03 CObra drivetrain, IRS and all.

Uh? 1993 to date: Jaguar XJ220, McLaren F1 LM, Koenigsegg CCR, Buggatti Veyron, SSC Ultimate Aero. No one keeps official record of "fastest street-legal car" namely because it varies by country. A car might be able to get papers in the United Kingdom for instance that doesn't qualify in USA (specifically, EPA regulations). Moreover, every state in the USA has the authority to set its own restrictions.

What are the odds, my cousin just picked up a 240sx that supposedly is putting out 450hp, now is that flywheel or wheel, I'm not sure, either way I still doubt it's putting out that much. I have seen it when it was for sale and it was a sharp looking car, but 450hp through a SR20DET for the street, thats not the easiest to accomplish.

Thats because they are But from what I have heard you didn't really switch to rice, rice is the mindset of looks before performance. Thinking that that park bench and fart cannon will net you speed, or thinking that removing your hubcaps to make it look like you have black rims is cool. So most of those ricers do a good job making people feel they are slow when your not going for looks off the bat.

Also talking about swaps and such, why not the 03 Cobra in a Focus, flat out wicked and no need to cut a tunnel for a driveshaft, prob gotta trim some firewall though. Also around here, Mustangs are practically rice, see too many with shit cans and huge spoilers, and then you realize... thats a 2.3l four popper :shadedshu

I get slow spots and stuff. dropped textures and shadows to medium. and 4xaa and 8xaf

My pony is identical to this.....

I think its far better than Prostreet especially in terms of driving and control and better than GRID........ Prostreet was like a joke .. GRID was boring .....and it runs very smooth and looks very nice.
