New update ruined online racing

[Oat Milk God]

You can't find any players to race online now because they added the same crap as NFS heat, which is what ruined online racing to begin with. They need to be fired immediately.

For me it's the same as always. Can you explain why you think it is harder now?

The same issues we have always had in Unbound still exist. Smallish servers, and people split between various tasks and classes.

What new crap from NFS heat was added to make things worse?

They added cops and other events around the city further limiting the amount of players available to race with a 16 player lobby. Games like GTA have had big lobbies and you can do more things around the city and it has private lobbies to do just racing which others can join from other lobbies; I don't see why NFS team is negligent on basic needs to play online succesfully.

I think I can speak on behalf of racing veterans, we just want to be able to race people, lots of people not 1 or 2. The people that enjoy doing anything but racing each other aren't racing veterans and catering to that audience is why the NFS franchise is failing. Sure its cool to run away from the cops and this moment can be memorable but the feeling is short lived. The real challenge and adrenaline is racing the best players(or many) in the world and winning and this formula is the only thing that has replayability.

On god I just want a direct matchmaking for races only. This Free-Roam crap is horribly setup where half the lobbies don't even participate the events. Still waiting to get a full lobby in btw.

finding races after update is much harder, you cant race solo which is annoying and most people are staying in garage or in free roam and dont accept races

Same problem as before patch.
Only matchmaking in the 16 players lobby.

Yeah, that is my thought. People always complained about it. The lobbys are too small, and I don't think the new activities helped the issue. But Things were already broken.

I wouldn't blame the update. The update added good stuff. Though, not life-altering. I would rather have cops in freeroam than not.

Same it's always been.
