Need For Speed Trial Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, 10 Hours of Gameplay

Played it for maybe 15 minutes and just couldn't play it anymore. It's so bad IMO, you can't even change the controls and use manual.

The driving is really bad, the graphics are ugly, and apparently it's always raining. The story seems pretty NFS cliche too not that I was expecting anything different.

NFS needs to stop making these games honestly, they are bad.

Glad I wasn't the only one. Thought I was going crazy. I couldn't find where to change to manual as well.

Was part of the BETA community for this. I found it tried way too hard be NFS: Rivals/Most Wanted-esque, and fell short in handling, AI, and graphics/atmosphere.

Also, and being a guy pushing 40: the dialogue/characters in this game resemble late teenagers, at best. VERY inane and glaring. If you don't have a tolerance for this...be warned. I admit this aspect really turned me off. It literally kept me from playing it.

It's games like this that let me really appreciate Drive Club.

A bit OT, but why isn't there a Motorstorm game for next gen? That series was a blast.

Actually they are adding motorcycles to Driveclub.

I finally got an hour in with the game and I'm going to go against the grain here and say I really loved it.

At first I got annoyed because it was so much on rails but once I got through the tutorial stuff that issue was alleviated.

As for the cut scenes, they are campy yes indeed and that's how EA intended them to be and I have no issue with them.

I really like how they've copied a good bit of the livery from the Forza series as well.. I spent about 20 minutes and made a pretty cool customized car.

All in all, it's exactly what I thought it was and I'm more than happy with it. Day one Deluxe edition purchase here...

Played about an hour but the acting and cut-scenes are terrible. Handling/turning sucks IMO, but I am coming from Forza Horizon 2. I want to like it because I enjoyed Need for Speed Underground and games like that back in the day. I will play more of the trial, but I see this game being in the vault in 6 months. I will not buy.

Wow this game is straight up trash. Driving model of bumper cars, the cheesiest, corny acted cut scenes for this "dude bro" story had me cringing from the get go. Latest 20 mins before I deleted it. So bad EA, it's so so bad

If the gameplay was good I wouldn't care about the cutscenes because it least it has some sort of story, but everything is bad IMO so it just magnifies it. I just want another NFS Underground, why is that so hard to make. That game would sell so many copies, people loved those.

I'm not asking for Sim either, just give me Forza Horizon 2 driving or similar to it and you've got a great game.
