Universal Need for Speed: No Limits by EA

Just noticed something else which I dislike about the game: the random rewards no longer include parts nor designs for car (upgrades). It is just style points, refuels and cash. Not sure why this happened but it means I now need to buy containers for random parts and designs.

I see more of the IAP system has been discovered, you will need to pay for gas in the game, or wait for it to refill and I can imagine that'll be over day's like servicing a car in RR3.
And this is on top of the other IAP's in the game of boosts or upgrades etc. Basically it seems they have come up with the same sort of systems as RR3 has, involving premium currency and wait timers.

Overall impression:
At first the game is kind of fun but once the sheer grinding it takes to advance becomes apparent it quickly becomes a job to play. Coupled with the lack of a decent number of tracks it is not really worth it.

What vehicles did you test the game out in? What things would you have wanted to see more of/done differently?

I've been playing for a couple of days, these are my impressions:

Graphics:
There is not that much color in the world, things just kind of blend together. Making out the road is not always that easy though most curves are highlighted by some sort of sign. More problematic are the 'random' vehicles, these also don't really stand out making it hard to see what to avoid.

Racing:
There is no control scheme which gives you control over the accelerator and brakes. It is full speed all the time. It simplistic but nothing too bad. The vehicles you come across are not random but fixed per race. If you restart a race you will find the vehicles appear at the exact same spots.

Be prepared to be outclassed by opponents with a much lower car rating. As long as you manage to stay in front you will be okay but once they manage to get past you they will disappear, never even giving you a change to reclaim the first place. In addition the IA is very aggressive, it will attempt to run you off track and into whatever obstacle it can find. These two things make that this game is not a racing game, there is no actual racing in this game whatsoever.

Tracks:
The biggest let down is the number of tracks, there is a small number of tracks. I think it is about 5 different ones. This makes the game extremely boring as you will need to race a lot if you want to progress without spending money. In addition the tracks don't even look that appealing.

Rewards:
The mission races tend to have pretty poor rewards. The cash is okay but the parts they will reward are lower grades. Winning a race which will reward a random reward will present three options. Once you've seen the options they will be turned over and shuffled so you need to pick one without knowing what it will be. Be prepared to pick the least usefull reward often. I would pay for an IAP where at least one of the three options would be revealed before making your pick.

Game progression:
It takes a lot of grinding to advance. You will need parts to improve the rating of your car and you need to win designs to build new cars or to upgrade existing ones. The parts can be won as a race reward or you can buy them using the IAP currency. Collecting cars through racing will take a long time.

A problem here is that cars are classified in one of 5 classes, each class has a maximum power rating which limits the power of your parts. Let's take a D-class car as an example: Default a D-class car has 16 power slots, it can be upgrade to 22 power slots and finally 33 power slots. A C-class car will start with 22 power slots, I am assuming that after upgrading it once it will have 33 power slots and after two upgrades 51 power slots (the starting rating for the only A-class car).

I have two maxed out D-class cars and not a single C-class car. I don't event want to guess how many hours of playing the game it will take to have a single C-class upgraded to max level so I will actually have a car with more power slots than I do now. The easiest way would be to build the A-class car but I don't have single design for that as yet.

I am afraid at some point my level 3 D-class or level 2 C-class will not have enough power slots to fit powerful enough parts to beat the opponents.

Building a different car within the same category is just a cosmetic change, the car rating stays the same.

Overall impression:
At first the game is kind of fun but once the sheer grinding it takes to advance becomes apparent it quickly becomes a job to play. Coupled with the lack of a decent number of tracks it is not really worth it.

Another thing to note is the lack of cops. While they're demoed in the first race I haven't seen one since. I am currently racing opponents of team 3 out of 5 and not a single cop car has made it way into the game. That is just false advertising in my book.

Oh, really. When I read about the game for the first time, I thought it will be sick. But I might turn out that it will make me sick

Just bumping this for discussion, it kind of died.

Soft launched in the Netherlands and Taiwan in the Google Play Store BTW

kopicha · Feb 23, 2015

it's not any good. And pretty lame IAPs. Imagine paying cash for your fuel. But its EA. Not surprising

valdeto · Mar 1, 2015

Any news?

najmulgony · Mar 1, 2015

Wow EA means something new and challenging, and hope No limits means they will not charge any $.

Wait for worldwide release. In some russian forums there are rumours for Q2 release but nothing confirmed by EA.

RoboWarrior · Mar 2, 2015

Any news guys? I saw info for the game from Wikipedia and as a worldwide release date is said Fall/Winter 2015. Hope it's not true.

jon427 · May 26, 2015

PaulEd7 · May 27, 2015
