(thanks to Sander Prinsen at NFSCars.net for this info)

If you have played NFS Underground and would like to get a chance to let EA know what you'd like to see more/less/different in a next version of NFS:U, this a surprisingly detailed multiple-choice survey that lets you speak your mind on features such as car choice (they even ask you directly if you'd like to see msucle cars in a next version of NFSU), online mode, performance and visual upgrades, etc. And there are also several 'open' questions where you get to make suggestions for the next game.
It's made up from dozens of questions and takes quite a while to complete, but once I was done I felt like I had had the chance to get pretty much everything off my chest that I was unhappy with about NFSU.

I realize that it's tempting to be sarcastic when it comes to seeing 'EA' and 'feedback' in one sentence, but, optimist that I am, I don't think they would organize a 90+ question survey if they didn't plan to do something with the results... this may be one of the most direct ways to reach the decisionmakers at EA headquarters, so let's grab this opportunity, I'd say. :)

90+ questions? I only got about 15...too bad I can't say what I want to see from them next - but if they read this -- I'd like to see a better NFS4, bigger tracks, better graphics engine, and better physics - that would make me a huge fan of EA again.

90 is a bit much, I guess - I didn't count them, but there were several dozen of them, a lot more than I expected... from what I've seen on other forums where I've posted this link, it depends a little on the answers that you give - like if you answer NO on the 2nd Question 'Do you own a copy of NFSUnderground?' (I think it was) then the survey's over very soon. :)
Perhaps you answered no to the Question 'will you buy a new NFS Underground game?' In that case perhaps they don't bother asking you what you'd like to see next...

If you delete the cookie from your pc, you can give it another try, heh... ;)

hum... the questions presented lead me to think that they're thinking about making a NFSU2. i hope my terrible prophecy won't turn out to be true...

all i wanted from a new NFS game was a mix of TNFS style and passion with NFSHS playstyle (exotics, racing modes including hot pursuit and damage) and NFSPU physics. i would be very happy with a game like this.

I think we would all like to see some TNFS back in future versions. Loyal to NFSIV as I am, nothing beats the open-loop style circuits like TNFS had. That is the one and only type of race to truly capture the joy of canonballing in rare, exotic cars that we probably will never own...

As far as NFSU (I still haven't purchased it, too cheap --I'm waiting till it goes down to $20 CDN :D ) I was disappointed to see it released under the NFS namesake. Although I kinda like the idea, it would have been much better if it hadn't been tied to the famous NFS line. NFS is not about tuning and hearing the 3" exhaust drone, it's about hearing the wail of a Ferrari engine screaming behind you as you drive through traffic at 170 MPH :D

The site was down for a bit?
RemkoAdmin23 years ago
Yes, it was. Server trouble. :(
RemkoAdmin23 years ago
Survey's closed now anyways - they say they got enough reactions (I wonder how many of us took part?)

too bad I didn't have a # to call.

took it again....but the real question is...what are we going to do "here". I wanna do something before I get too old, or lose interest...
MikeAdmin23 years ago

my greatest fears were confirmed recently. NFSU2 is on the way. IMO, the NFS is sinking fast.
