The rest isn't too bad either.

KJG will be happy to know they retuned the Gallardo LP-640 4.

Talking about card packs... wtf? country packs... i just hope we'll get a different pack for each country

YES!!!!!!

- The bumper cameras have been tuned on the Ford GT, Lamborghini Gallardo and Nissan GT-R [R35]
- The hood camera has been fixed on the Ford GT

WAIT! No IGC car? WTF!!!

Actually I think EA is stepping it up, yes i know the igc content hasn't increased but atleast we are getting something, glad to hear some bad cars are being re-tuned but lets see if they get any better.....

I give them....a B+

Just being dramatic, no this update is great! Love that they replaced the drivers skills and making some of my fav T3s better! Grade: B+

O>>>M>>>F>>>G>>> They are retuning my baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm getting that on my Tekukjg driver as soon as world comes back up!!!!!!!!1

looks like there will be a lot going into this patch. I am glad to see that they are finally fixing (releasing the fixes) to a number of things. Still there is no fix on the Free Roam Chat! Without FRC it is not a MMO at all.

Well at least with new skill mods, it makes it feel a little bit more like a regular MMO like Guild Wars but yea i wish the free room chat could come back but it looks like it wont for a while, I really want it back because then we could plan the NOG Anniversary.

Oh and I see no mention of an anti-cheat system implementation ......

nfsw loves cheaters... they ban them. then they make a new name... ban again and make new names.. thats how they got to a million users

Wait a second....


"- A number of localization issues were fixed"

Hope they don't mean the track where you can drive back and ***************** !


The T3 one

I thought that localisation issues would be in reference to translations for other languages.

Of course, I could be wrong and might be better keeping my nose out of this...

IGC car IGC, dont have enough money for a GTR, gallardo or GT so idc bout those right now lol... but at least they r being retuned... *crosses fingers*

BTW, my IGC car guess will be the SUBIE HATCH until its released... just sayin..
