im not sure how a manual transmission benefits a game like N4S. its not about racing lines and braking points. its about pedal to the metal with your bollocks out the window

When i play nfs the thing that makes this franchise shine is the engine sounds, when i play manual and slide around the corner it feels mental as if when i drop gears the engine purrs, while in automatic if feels like im not apart of the game. You try it play a game when you rev the car you will say dam love that engine. in forza i used the clutch but yah, but nfs is the real shine the engine sounds are mental that's what I've always loved about nfs.

cryterion are very good at responding to player feedback. so im sure they will patch it in at some point. they patched restarting races into BP after the community requested it.

wanted to buy this game day 1 , but after ive found out is has no manual transition and doesnt even support my logitech wheel i dont want it anymore , how much more can a racing game fail? maybe by forgetting to put cars into the game ... at least GT5 will be released soon

The only use of it was that, in Hot Pursuit 2, driving with manual gears allowed you to go slightly faster (better acceleration and higher top speed) for some reason. In actual races, though, it was practically useless.

NFS Hot Pursuit 2 was the best need for speed in the series back in the ps2 times, this new one is just need for speed hot pursuit, so which is it you are referring to?

I think it's sad that you can't have manual transmission, and that I can't use my Logitec G27 steering wheel. We're in 2010, and they are still making driving games that does'nt support steering wheel.

EA is pushing the devs to patch it though as it caused many compaints , however too late for me because when Gt5 will be out i do not need HP anymore

Clearly you have next to no experience of racing games if you are going to use manual transmission or a racing wheel for a game like NFSHP...:?

Seems like Manual Transmission is useless in an Arcade Racer like NFS... I mean i understand wanting it in Grant Turismo or Forza, but NFS is about pedal to the medal, balls out racing.

Yeah, this basically atleast Shift had some use for Manual and a racing wheel but still pretty arcadey with the assists on.

clearly you dont own a good racing wheel if you think that any racing game is better played with a game pad
