There's a huge learning curve in the nfs. Im struggling so hard just to come in 3rd . Even if I drift a turn perfectly the ai just speed by and gets way ahead.
The way i do it is i upgrade my parts to get my “B,A,A+,S,S+” points closest to the next Lvl as i can without me actually leveling up. You’ll have a lot easier time keeping up with the AI. I’ve learned this cause i was in your shoes. Hopes it help 😊
The fact EA can't comprehend explaining the games mechanics speaks volumes for the company.... This is the first racing game i've ever had to actually search up how to play. I've played most other NFS, one burn out, Test Drive 6, Grand Turismo on ps2, Ashalt, etc...but modern NFS. Thats the one I had to research.
I've been playing race games since Colin mcrae on the original xbox. The thing I love about this game though is the sound of the cats and the graphics. If gta incorporated nfs teir sound for the game it would be the best game ever
Burst NOS is seriously the most brilliant mechanic I never knew we needed, especially with drafting. There isn't as much rubber-banding in this game and my best guess is that we can get a boost through drafting now. I love it.
I mean they just stole the mechanic from mario kart. In that game you initiate a drift with the bumpers, and the longer you hold the drift for, the higher boost you get coming out of it once you let go of the bumper. If anything, this is a terrible mechanic for a simcade racing series like nfs. I don't know why they can't just implement actual physics into the game for things like gripping or drifting around a corner, rather than just tapping a button to "activate drift mode". Fucking stupid as shit honestly.
Awesome guide! I noticed sometimes I got grip turn bonus as well but was not sure how. Since initially I thought for corners, only drifting gave the reward, I was happy to see grip turn bonuses was a thing.
I don’t know if I got this from you or not, but you can use the handling slider to change car classes when you have a car class tuned to the very top of a class. Really good early game when you don’t have a dedicated car for each class.
Yeah, but conversely you have to make sure the car's handling characteristics are set up where you want *before* you upgrade parts, otherwise you could end up pushing your car out of your preferred class when you tune it.
@Messerschmitt_BF_109G_10it's best used the other way around. When you upgraded into early A class you can tune it back to the top of B and have a overpowered B class.
I personally found that for the lower classes in unbound, i have the drift setting as brake or gas and when taking a corner i tap both in quick succession and i take most corners really well (other times i steer at too much of an angle). I haven't got around to using s and s+ cars yet so i watch videos like this to gain sone prior knowledge... your tips are great trigger and i definitely enjoy learning more and more about the game
The game came out free on ps plus a few days ago so even today this is very helpful, thanks! As someone who comes from more simulation racing games and considerably experienced in my opinion winning races on max difficulty and winning most online races in games like Asseta Corsa and Gt6 and Gt7. so I would think I am ok a driving but even the easiest difficulty of Need for speed unbound had me never even reach the top 5 in my races. so hopefully these tips will help me
One thing that might help beginners, most with unstable cars like the old school 911 is to lower steering sensibility´, put downforce on maximum and focus on buying tires/suspension/differential focused on grip (dont forget to put the slider to grip, 60/70% is enough)
Just wanted to give thanks for the guide just picked up the game yesterday and was having hard time not to break bank and the game right after watching this i came in second after sitting in third most of the race
Thank you dude, the game really makes you try to understand it if you wanna play tho, its not like sit and play, it's more like learning to drive and play,
My issue is that I'm used to sim games. I don't mind arcade racers, I'm just not good at them. I'm used to slow in, fast out, managing throttle through turns, not putting too much load on tired and disrupting balance, etc. It's a delicate balance. In nfs, it's just balls to the wall. I feel like I don't really need to brake, but my brain is telling me "BRAKEEEEE" when I see a turn
Thank you so much - been wondering about grip vs drift and how to actually engage in a grip turn (rocking the Lotus right now) and haven't been able to find that info anywhere!
I'd been playing need for speed for a long long time but sometimes when you finished the game and you just let it sit around or not even touch it for a good amount of months and years you will find yourself looking like a noob playing the game, this video helps remember and give you tips so that you can improved your game play. You will notice that every need for speed will have similarities and from that point on you already know what to do.
I did a review of this game going over almost all the mechanics you went over in this video. But you explained things much cleaner so thank you for this ! People need to learn just how good the mechanics of this game really are. I also learned new things from this video too, i did not know grip turns refill nos more than drifts. Ima have to test it out for myself. I do hope the meta doesn't become completely grip though as drifitng is way more fun to me in the A tier races lol. I dont mind if grip dominates the high speed races though it makes sense. My car spins out so easy on those tracks without grip lol
Bro do a video on the cop chases they are insane. It’s not so much that it’s impossible to lose them. It’s just so hard to keep them gone. And the way the AI behaves is insane. Like helicopters will just sit over you waiting on you to come out even though you “got away” sure that’s kinda more realistic. But I mean it’s a game and we want to have fun lol. So I hope they do a update giving more options for dealing with police. Like purist breakers. And I hope they change the spawn rates of the cops while not in a pursuit. The roads are just to heavily patrolled and they make no effort in hiding the fact they know where you are at all times. I can look on my map and always see about 5 cops around me at any given time just waiting for me to make a mistake. And then there is surely one or two undercover cops waiting too. Which I like the idea of having the unmarked cars that would be fun to deal with if it felt normally. But it just feels like going to point a to point b to start the next race is impossible without getting extremely luck or triggering a chase. Then you end up having to lose them and next thing you know your across the map again. With them hovering breathing down you’re neck is trying to trigger another chase before you make it. I suspect they even know when you mark a location on a map because if feels like they sit there sometimes
Im glad someone pointed this out, i literally had to turn difficulty down for this. It seemed like police force was made up of over half the population of the entire city. Worser than GTA 5 star levels of insane, well not really but still lol. The part I hate the worst is when your in first place I cant tell how many times police came out of nowhere and knocked me off course with absolutely no time for me to react or anything! One time 2 police came and essentially road blocked a 2 lane bridge entry I almosted raged quit. Also the helicopter and cop cars seem to always know where you are after you escape them, making driving too the safe house a complete pain. I could be busting left and rights almost every corner and they'd still be headed right in my direction. Add the fact that you can lose all your restarts and money in a split second and yeah, im turning the difficulty down. 🤣🤣🤣 It kills me though because in nfs Heat i beat it on hard difficulty it was tough but nothing like this game.
Also i tried not marking a location on the map and driving there manually, didnt work lol. Best thing to do though is hard close the app if they catch you. I know it seems cheesy but this is what we have to result to until hopefully they balance things out.
Honestly, I think a better solution would be to have Heat levels be attached to cars. So say I got Heat 5 on my BRZ and I switch to my 180SX. In that case, it would stick to thd BRZ for the rest of the night, and I have a reduced heat level in the 180SX. For me, pursuit breakers make police chases too easy. It's a screen clear like in a shoot em up. I'd rather evade the cops through wit. But with that said, yeah you right. The cops when you're being chased aren't Heat bad but it is annoying to play Metal Gear Solid on the way to the next location. I get it's a trade off for doing big events, but still. I do like the Undercover cops in this game tho because they actually have that unique feature of not being shown on the map
Brooo lmao the AI is fucking INSANE in this game especially for the police. Once you pass 3 🔥 your fucked lmao @ 5 🔥 takes me like 10 mins minimum to lose them mfs 😂
@@0uttaS1TE Older NFS games that had cops actually did this. The heat level stays on that car and you can swap cars so you can avoid cops until the heat dies off. Can't do that in this game and also i hate this bullsht limited time to play the game with this daily and weekly stuff. I rather just play game at my own pace instead of if I go back to garage and get upgrades and sht for my car, it ends the whole day and i lose out on doing races to make money. like wtf kinda bullsht is that? If i wanted to be time constraint like that, i'd go a play a fvcking Persona game where you have to plan out your whole month, but i dont want that sht in a NFS game....
I think everyone can agree that the Rhino in NFS Heat is the worst god dam thing to encounter. Jesus save you if you see Rhino incoming cause a full armored swat truck going 100mph will spawn anywhere infront of you and end your night ina heartbeat💀
I'm not even a beginner. I've completed every NFS since underground and never had this much of an issue. Even the first race in the game is almost unwinnable, and it doesn't get any easier. The AIs will all clump up to block you as much as possible while the chosen 1 AI steams ahead. When you hit the NOS, the AIs get a speed boost too so it doesn't even help. I find myself averaginging roughly 3rd-4th place even though I'm an experienced NFS player. With buy in costs on most races I struggle to make money to upgrade my car and once you fall behind the curve you're done for.
I used to fling my controller across the room playing NFS underground back in the day. Now I'm playing on a gaming handheld and have to rely on meditative breathing.
You've probably figured this out now but it's just about the handling tuning slider, traction control, tires etc. I took a BRZ from B class to S class and it was great as a drift car but not so much as a grip one. The Nissan GTR I won in the 3rd week though was immediately much more grippy and now after tuning it for even better grip it's really easy to win with this car: but not as much fun as with the BRZ.
Races become easy even on Insane difficulty when you're at the top of that specific class like A or A+ maxed. Some npcs/races (we all know them) are built to cheat you so it's good to sometimes make that specific AI crash, but either way, the game seems to be scripted in a way where if you manage to get to the front of the pack early you'll probably win. If you can't get past everyone you get stuck for a while. Besides that, it's clear they made the game in a way that (for some reason) they don't want you to win every race as first. I haven't had much difficulty on Insane tbh but I'm just pretty good at racing games I suppose. But these are my findings.
I just hope that the next NFS will have better driving physics. I may come from Underground - Prostreet era, but I find the 2012 Most Wanted brake-to-drift far more better and make sense as I remember than the current driving logic.
Thank you for the great video, liked and subbed. I've been drifting since underground, I really like the drifting in this game. Feels good, I wanna learn to grip but I always end up drifting lmao
This game had made me rage quit a couple of times. Doesn't matter how many time I try first place, the AI always "skyrocket" there way in first. Last time, I was in first position all the race until the last check point where the AI just flyied over me. I was like the hell?
I learn that the AI drives super fast and aggressively. So whenever you are near them, just use the NOS or boost from yellow bar and hit them in the back to spin them out and make them crash. Its only way to make them slow down enough so you can actually win 1st place. I think they programmed the god damn game to literally make it frustrating to actually win first, so much that you would give up and take 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th instead of keep trying to win 1st.
I was just wondering if the game is supposed to force you into looking backwards at first. Apparently it just doesn't like my keyboard in game so i have to hold the up arrow to actually see where I'm going. Top tier game.
God starting out this driving really does feel awful to me. I hope it improves or starts to come to me more naturally because it's impossible to turn without spinning out or oversteering at high speeds. It's like whenever you turn your tyres turn into ice
Try feathering your throttle when your car starts to drift. Use the throttle not the steering wheel to control your cars angle. More throttle equals sharper turn, less throttle equals wider turn
I recently bought this game & struggling how to turn consistently. Idk what "triggers" grip & drift, and I can't turn in a normal way like in FH4 either. I know there is handling slider, but I don't feel any difference at all (except when sliders turned to max hi/ low)
this is the one thing I HATE about need for speed games...the rubber-banding! the burst NOS is cool and all but, look at 2:52 when the burst NOS is used. the AI just "burst NOS" as well and stays right with you. so...what's the point of burst NOS if it's not going to give you an edge when using it? you're better off not paying attention to it and not use it and just focus on the road ahead of you instead of looking at the meter to see if you have it available.
Idk, but I'm using Ds4 to use my Ps4 controller in PC, and I'm playing in the game from the Xbox game pass, and the whole controller binding is wrong in the game, it's all changed but I've been playing another games with it, and just happens in this game
I'm quite late here, but you also get rewarded with boost when overtaking racers with considerably lower speeds, and you get a FULL BAR whenever you take down a police car. Same goes with racers, but this time you don't need to straight up destroy their car, just make them lose control in a crash (When the car goes flying around and shit) Doing turns the grippy way give you an ammount depending on how long you've been turning, and you CAN combine more than one turn if you change directions quickly enough. Keep in mind grip turns only give you the boost moments after finishing the turn, and it has to be a considerable turn (Not the turn itself, but the car needs to turn enough), so it's hard to keep stacking them all by themselves. Burst NOS (Or as I call it, Boost) will give you the ability to ram racers and cops out of the way as if they're not even there. Extra helpful to either finish off cops or push racers out of the road. Even just the first bar is enough to push those green police tanks, AT ANY SPEED, just time it right and get em off your way. It also increases your grip considerably, if you're using a grip build and you're about to go large on a turn, let off the gas and hit your Boost if you have any, the car will do a slightly harder turn while the boost depletes, allowing you to take the turn faster. Beware that some cars might turn too much and spin the rear, same goes if the road's bumpy, or generally if you hit the gas while doing it. Grip turns will ignore any input on the pedals, and will only care about the car turning, so feel free to slow down and gas as much as you need to through the turn, although braking and then accelerating at the apex is generally the best way to do it. Lastly, jumps also give Boost, quite nicely. If your car's not the best at accelerating or a tough turn is coming right up and there's a small jump nearby, take it, the boost will help you through the turn. Beware of Grip cars and builds though, as good as they are, they can get frustrating when going through bumps and some sections of the map. Play around with the downforce, you'll need it in some cars and you'll hate it in others. Still, grip is probably your best choice against the AI since they mostly take drifts around, so you can remain off their line more often.
@Messerschmitt BF 109G 10 You can wreck police vehicles without losing any speed at all by slightly tapping them sideways. It's rather hard to do, but when it works, it gives some good advantage
Thanks man I appreciate this video, I really like this game but I am not that good at it which is why I am watching tip videos. What car do you recommend for me after the prologue. Keep in mind that I am playing on easy and never came in above fourth place. I just finished the prologue and now they are asking me to buy a car and I got nervous and shut the game off and hopped on UA-cam for some help on this... you seem yo be very knowledgeable on the game so I thought I would ask you.
I have never raged quit a need for speed game until this one. I have reset the solo campaign 3 times even when im at the top of predicted list the AI cars are better and forget about the police they are overwhelming.
When i 1st played this game i had to restart my whole career 3 different times because the 2 cars i had couldnt even keep up. I got to the point where i was about to just delete this game. I gave it one more try and actually started figuring out how the game works. I started on casual just to get a feel for the game and let me tell you, the "relaxed" difficulty could be frustrating to new NFS players.
its cuz every difficulty level you choose the AI cars and cops has the same amount of good driving and aggression. The only difference is that lower difficulty setting, the cops and AI cars makes way more crashing mistakes compared to highest difficulty level.
Thanks for the video ! Anyone has a recommendation for a good car to buy online? I have around 500K and I'm getting smoked in my loaner car xD I have the palace edition and I love the AMG GT BS, but is it worth it ? Normal or custom version or buy something else?
I have a question, before you start the race, and you are about to race how can you change your car because it just lets me use the rental car all the time, like do you have to be a certain level to select your own car when racing?
Quick question for you guys, If I have brake to drift and I initiate a drift around the corner, should I keep accelerating or let go of the gas for the best drifting?
There's a huge learning curve in the nfs. Im struggling so hard just to come in 3rd . Even if I drift a turn perfectly the ai just speed by and gets way ahead.
There cars are way faster than your so even i you dont make mistake they will be you unless you play it like burnout
The way i do it is i upgrade my parts to get my “B,A,A+,S,S+” points closest to the next Lvl as i can without me actually leveling up. You’ll have a lot easier time keeping up with the AI. I’ve learned this cause i was in your shoes. Hopes it help 😊

Drifting with the handbrake slows you down too much IMO
they brought old nfs nos back where you can chose how much you wanna use right?
Yes
I have a Ferrari F40 in S tier and can’t find a way to get the optimal drip or grip build.. looking forward to the detailed video on grip 🔥
You've probably figured this out now but it's just about the handling tuning slider, traction control, tires etc. I took a BRZ from B class to S class and it was great as a drift car but not so much as a grip one.

Races become easy even on Insane difficulty when you're at the top of that specific class like A or A+ maxed. Some npcs/races (we all know them) are built to cheat you so it's good to sometimes make that specific AI crash, but either way, the game seems to be scripted in a way where if you manage to get to the front of the pack early you'll probably win. If you can't get past everyone you get stuck for a while.
Besides that, it's clear they made the game in a way that (for some reason) they don't want you to win every race as first.
I haven't had much difficulty on Insane tbh but I'm just pretty good at racing games I suppose. But these are my findings.
Why would you want break to drift for grip build? Wouldn't you want no drift at all?
I just hope that the next NFS will have better driving physics. I may come from Underground - Prostreet era, but I find the 2012 Most Wanted brake-to-drift far more better and make sense as I remember than the current driving logic.
Cars just feel to weird to me one sec real gripped then the next I’m losing traction over the smallest slide
Thank you for the great video, liked and subbed.
I've been drifting since underground, I really like the drifting in this game. Feels good, I wanna learn to grip but I always end up drifting lmao
i am convinced the r34 is undrivable dude
This game had made me rage quit a couple of times. Doesn't matter how many time I try first place, the AI always "skyrocket" there way in first. Last time, I was in first position all the race until the last check point where the AI just flyied over me. I was like the hell?
The traffic the pops up outta nowhere that takes up the whole road is what fucks me over. It’s fucking stupid.
the AI in this game is dogshit
Rubberbanding is real again like in the old Underground games, a single mistake and AI is literally behind you
I learn that the AI drives super fast and aggressively. So whenever you are near them, just use the NOS or boost from yellow bar and hit them in the back to spin them out and make them crash. Its only way to make them slow down enough so you can actually win 1st place. I think they programmed the god damn game to literally make it frustrating to actually win first, so much that you would give up and take 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th instead of keep trying to win 1st.
I remember one time I was gaining on 1st or 2nd place and a fucking train cut right in front and made me crash
Looks fun actually ✌🏼
jumping also gives burst and taking out cops gives 3
Very useful vid appreciate it
I was just wondering if the game is supposed to force you into looking backwards at first. Apparently it just doesn't like my keyboard in game so i have to hold the up arrow to actually see where I'm going. Top tier game.
Letting off the gas and putting it back on does start a drift right now. As well as tapping the gas.
God starting out this driving really does feel awful to me. I hope it improves or starts to come to me more naturally because it's impossible to turn without spinning out or oversteering at high speeds. It's like whenever you turn your tyres turn into ice
Try feathering your throttle when your car starts to drift. Use the throttle not the steering wheel to control your cars angle. More throttle equals sharper turn, less throttle equals wider turn
@@MilitiaGamingCommunity thanks bro, nice tip
You get full burst NOS when you takedown a cop, you forgot to mention that
Game modes with no nitrous and no burst nitrous would be interesting.
I recently bought this game & struggling how to turn consistently. Idk what "triggers" grip & drift, and I can't turn in a normal way like in FH4 either. I know there is handling slider, but I don't feel any difference at all (except when sliders turned to max hi/ low)
Do you have any tips on how hard it is to keep control while drifting? Is their anyway to make it easier?
took me a minute to realize that I could turn off drift entry for my grip builds.
Great vid thank you !!
2:40 - Jumping also fills it.
So does totalling a cop, Max fills the boost gauges
this is the one thing I HATE about need for speed games...the rubber-banding! the burst NOS is cool and all but, look at 2:52 when the burst NOS is used. the AI just "burst NOS" as well and stays right with you. so...what's the point of burst NOS if it's not going to give you an edge when using it? you're better off not paying attention to it and not use it and just focus on the road ahead of you instead of looking at the meter to see if you have it available.
Agreed; I feel like if there was a beta or at least more play testing they would have seen that the rubberbanding is way too strong in this game
I’m always at the top of the class yet some how all of the AI are always pulling away from me.
how do i control the bar at the start so i dont do a burn out?
Thanks grip turning has been screwing me up until now
Idk, but I'm using Ds4 to use my Ps4 controller in PC, and I'm playing in the game from the Xbox game pass, and the whole controller binding is wrong in the game, it's all changed but I've been playing another games with it, and just happens in this game
I'm quite late here, but you also get rewarded with boost when overtaking racers with considerably lower speeds, and you get a FULL BAR whenever you take down a police car.
Same goes with racers, but this time you don't need to straight up destroy their car, just make them lose control in a crash (When the car goes flying around and shit)
Doing turns the grippy way give you an ammount depending on how long you've been turning, and you CAN combine more than one turn if you change directions quickly enough. Keep in mind grip turns only give you the boost moments after finishing the turn, and it has to be a considerable turn (Not the turn itself, but the car needs to turn enough), so it's hard to keep stacking them all by themselves.
Burst NOS (Or as I call it, Boost) will give you the ability to ram racers and cops out of the way as if they're not even there. Extra helpful to either finish off cops or push racers out of the road.
Even just the first bar is enough to push those green police tanks, AT ANY SPEED, just time it right and get em off your way.
It also increases your grip considerably, if you're using a grip build and you're about to go large on a turn, let off the gas and hit your Boost if you have any, the car will do a slightly harder turn while the boost depletes, allowing you to take the turn faster. Beware that some cars might turn too much and spin the rear, same goes if the road's bumpy, or generally if you hit the gas while doing it.
Grip turns will ignore any input on the pedals, and will only care about the car turning, so feel free to slow down and gas as much as you need to through the turn, although braking and then accelerating at the apex is generally the best way to do it.
Lastly, jumps also give Boost, quite nicely. If your car's not the best at accelerating or a tough turn is coming right up and there's a small jump nearby, take it, the boost will help you through the turn.
Beware of Grip cars and builds though, as good as they are, they can get frustrating when going through bumps and some sections of the map. Play around with the downforce, you'll need it in some cars and you'll hate it in others.
Still, grip is probably your best choice against the AI since they mostly take drifts around, so you can remain off their line more often.
@Messerschmitt BF 109G 10 You can wreck police vehicles without losing any speed at all by slightly tapping them sideways. It's rather hard to do, but when it works, it gives some good advantage
Thanks man I appreciate this video, I really like this game but I am not that good at it which is why I am watching tip videos. What car do you recommend for me after the prologue. Keep in mind that I am playing on easy and never came in above fourth place. I just finished the prologue and now they are asking me to buy a car and I got nervous and shut the game off and hopped on UA-cam for some help on this... you seem yo be very knowledgeable on the game so I thought I would ask you.
I have never raged quit a need for speed game until this one. I have reset the solo campaign 3 times even when im at the top of predicted list the AI cars are better and forget about the police they are overwhelming.
What is the best car to buy after you lose access to the starter car?
for some reason since heat ive been preferring fps view for driving and racing. have much better and control and feel for the car.
This game way harder than the other NFS ive played, i turned down the difficulties right after finishing the story and it was quite pleasing
i suck so bad in S+ street race i always get ahead by a lot at the start..but i always crash…but i almost never lose in corner race tho…
Even on relax I'm always second or higher in the list.
In heat i was alway 1.
But now it's a different setting damn
Bro making a driving guide in need for speed now💀
Would you please make a video to say which car is the best for long jumps and which car deals more damage to cops?
What causes me to randomly get a full noss burst (3bar) when near other racers? Not drafting. It's a steady build. It just fills instantly
When i 1st played this game i had to restart my whole career 3 different times because the 2 cars i had couldnt even keep up. I got to the point where i was about to just delete this game. I gave it one more try and actually started figuring out how the game works. I started on casual just to get a feel for the game and let me tell you, the "relaxed" difficulty could be frustrating to new NFS players.
its cuz every difficulty level you choose the AI cars and cops has the same amount of good driving and aggression. The only difference is that lower difficulty setting, the cops and AI cars makes way more crashing mistakes compared to highest difficulty level.
When you take down a racer or cop Yellow bar will be full(Burst NOS)
I just want to know how to use my own car in races.. it keeps putting me in corvette's and other similar stock vehicles
I can't play story mode anymore I don't have enough money to enter the race it won't let me do anything else
you can do races that does not buy a buy in fee. those are free races.
Drafting is aslo known as slipstream for those who don't know
Thanks for the video !
Anyone has a recommendation for a good car to buy online?
I have around 500K and I'm getting smoked in my loaner car xD
I have the palace edition and I love the AMG GT BS, but is it worth it ? Normal or custom version or buy something else?
its easy just lit go of throttle and press square or x when turning and nas can cancel a turn
I have a question, before you start the race, and you are about to race how can you change your car because it just lets me use the rental car all the time, like do you have to be a certain level to select your own car when racing?
Doing a burnout fills up the burst NOS too
My car is stuck and I can’t get it out help
can anyone tell me how to hold the rpm in the green zone?
Is there a way to make the controls feel like nfs heat controls
So, when traveling at high speed and have a shallow turn, but the car snaps loos and puts you into a wall, how can I stop this.. ? Thanks for any help
They made grip build viable by throwing drift build under the bus, cool
my issue is that when i drive a car no matter what car its like i have a speed limiter and it wont go over 50-60 can you help me with that??
Quick question for you guys, If I have brake to drift and I initiate a drift around the corner, should I keep accelerating or let go of the gas for the best drifting?
Keep accelerating
pls maybe make a guide how to setup most cars for a grip setup :) thank you.
Do you drift with your joystick(L3) or a button
Great video earned a sub ty
Thanks for the sub!
whats the "on coming" timer for on the blue nos? i see it come up when im driving straight but im not sure what its referencing when counting up
It’s when you are in “oncoming traffic” basically anytime you are on the wrong side of the road.
@@MilitiaGamingCommunity ahh that makes since. I'll keep that in mind moving forward
What does deadzone mean in the settings
whatever, perfect turning will give u the full yellow boosting
I just bought the game and the races are pretty but the problem are the police cars…. They spawn in front of you
In lower tiers (A+ and below), my cats have a tendency to spin out or fishtail. How do I combat this? Thank you!
Day 1 can you do the Ford Mustang BOSS 302
I don’t know if my Game is broken but,I noticed my Cars are faster in “Free Roam” then in “Races”…why is that ?
People need to learn that not everybody plays on controler
