Now I know why I hate this game
Glad it only cost me $4 on special. During big races where you HAVE ti buy into it, the cops are on your back in Coirvettes and 4WD slamming you all over the place, causing you to lose, the competition hardly ever screws up and drives perfect every time, and when they do screw up you drive into them causing you to lose or be at the back.

The game forces you into events even if your not ready. You cant just enter an event when you feel like it when your ready no you are FORCED into it and HAVE to do the event based on the calendar.

Whenever I come back to this game I dont find it fun and find it stressful to be honest. Its not a much fun as PAYBACK was. I actually enjoyed Payback, this game Unbounded is just bad!

Single player sucks, yes, but this game is meant to be played online, this is where all the content and fun is. Although, if cops are too much for you to handle, online will probably be even more brutal.
Trying to race in important races with Cop Corvettes and Cop 4WD slamming into you and knocking you off course so you lose the race is frustrating. Th game forces you to play the car they want rather than the car you have. Its a horrible game compared to Payback which was awesome. I think Unbounded in the worst NFS game ive played

That's the very definition of a skill issue. Racing with cops online in Gauntlet, Hot Pursuit and Lockdown modes is very fun. They are pretty easily manageable, once you learn to avoid them properly. Payback was good, but had its own share of problems, including bare bones multiplayer and basically nonexistent cops. To each their own, of course, but if you haven't played amazing online modes like Lockdown, you basically haven't played Unbound.

I enjoyed Payback it was my favorite title. No annoyances no annoying races, story was great to me. I finished it in 19 hours (how long to beat says 19 hours). It was my fave NFS game so far.

Good for you. It was plenty annoying to me, when I was forced to grind for performance cards to pass some arbitrary "performance" check to be eligible to progress. Especially for mandatory drag races, that I didn't care for in the slightest, but was forced to grind anyway. And sprint races in drag cars have to be some of the most sadistic torture in any NFS game. There's nothing nearly as annoying in Unbound.

There is to me. The face your forced into races by the calendar, forced on cars you have to drive relative of what you own. I have a McLaren the game gave me, oh wait I cant drive that I have to drive my MITSU ECLIPSE...JOY! (insert sarcasm)

glad I only paid $4 for it otherwise I would have refunded this mess/garbage game

I already agreed that single player sucks from the get go. Have fun going in circles, I'm out.

Honestly cops is the issue, in heat you do 4-5 races at night untill you get, maybe 3 star wanted level. 3 is fairly manageable with starting car, and even if you lose you just begin over.
in Unb if you lose - you lose. Id say Unbound is for hardcore players mostly.
Becouse at beginning will suck and allways lose, but when you win - you happy like a kid, thats the fun part here.

Oh please, you don't have to handle heat 5 level cops in a low tier car, you can always bail. If you failed to bail on time and got caught, it's on you. Unbound isn't "hardcore", are you kidding me? It's challenging on highest difficulty, but it's not harder than Heat or NFS 2015 prestige mode. It's harder than the joke that Payback was, that's for sure, especially when it comes to cops.

I don't play it as much feel like I'm not progressing no matter how much I try. They should have added a difficult tag

Payback was the best NFS title to me. I played it all the way through and enjoyed the whole game from racing the Ai to upgrading cars.

NFS heat was actually alright, granted I didn't finish the game but the graphics were pretty good and the day racing was the best. The night racing I didn't like the colours all blue and green swirling colours. Was hard to see
