Bugs, this game is riddled with bugs.

1.) Random Collision Boxes (Artifacts) in and out of races;

2.) The displacement bug -- which is still a very prominent problem in "Need For Speed Heat" (NFSH) online play PvP;

3.) Desyncing issues where you will hit a wiped out racer's after image because their collision box is still lingering as they are re-spawning into the race to continue; False visual representation to other racers and their respective positions on the road as well as their actual activity on the road (Also A HUGE ONLINE NFSH PvP Problem); and much more!

4.) Vehicle wrap customization bugs where surfaces do not physically nor visually represent the section-title of the vehicle;

5.) Dropped Inputs -- There will be times where hitting the "Yellow Boost" button (which is the Nos Button as well) will only activate NOS usage and not the Yellow Boost.

6.) Upgrade Positive Color Notification -- when you change parts to your vehicle, some parts are worse than others. Some of the worse parts' numerical representation are colored with the Improvement Color Code (Green), when in fact the numerical representation is showing you it is worse.

7.) I know this isn't a BUG, but I thought I would share their rushed work as they made me pay for it. 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray spoiler (Rear Wing) pieces. In the shop you can buy one that is literally offered for free in the same menu. One says "SpeedHunters" which is the rear wing being removed, while in the same menu you have an option in the upper left hand corner of the that menu-window saying "Remove". The option that says "Remove" is for free. These are the details they chose not to fix before releasing their product.

8.) Stuck Race Post Menu -- The Race post menu is already causing clutter on its own, due to poor placement. In addition, the menu will sometimes get stuck and not allow the player to decline the race offer made by another player in the lobby, until the countdown is finished. We're not done with this bug yet. If you are in the "Rides" Options MENU and this notification comes up -- you will have to drop everything you're doing and back all the way out to decline the race offer. The reason this is a problem is because in many sub menus within the "Rides" options menu -- it can be very visually obstructive and the notifications may never stop coming.

These are the 1st eight that came to mind. Furthermore, Their poor customer service on handling or working with customers, who purchased the PRE-ORDER Palace Edition DLC , missing all and/or some of the DLC after launch (This issue is still on-going).

They blatantly lied about giving players the ability to remove the visual "diving effects," while playing -- so the "driving effects" aren't covering the screen or causing distractions and or annoyances for the player.

They lied about Online Story to enjoy with friends, AND MUCH MORE.

---Opinion Section---

The online progression is very bland. All races give the same amount of cash, depending on the amount of racers accompanying you -- as each racer will receive a reward bonus multiplier. You want to make any real money? Too bad get levels. Once you've gotten all the cash rewards for your levels, you're back to having no money again. Everything is pretty expensive due to this problem. So engine swapping and experimenting becomes an absolute chore.

Unfortunately another cool concept, fallen by the waist side because we keep paying these people and their shills (Youtubers, Twitch Streamers, Advertisers, etc.) to continue this sort of predatory and misleading behavior.

Game: 6/10
Company: 2/10
