in the artical it say's(except for the Xbox 360 version which has a day to night cycle)... what did the writer mean by this? did they mean that the lighting went from sun up to sun down, because if they ment that the pc verson also does that so un less if the xbox 360 has the lighting that has day and night. this should be removed or edited to be correct. Chardrc 14:48, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

anyone... i have found a few things in this articul that i think are inaccurate but i need a second opinoin to see if they are infact wrong.. the main one was spelled out in my statement above.Chardrc 15:41, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Heat levels

Someone needs to add a section that details all the different heat levels. I would do it, but I don't really know how to go about editing the current section, how to fit it in, etc. _mich 03:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

A previous addition of the heat levels was moved to Wikibooks (see here), as I found that it was better suited there as a guide. Wikipedia articles are better designated to explain a quick overview of the game and gameplay; Wikibooks details it further. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 04:55, 17 February 2006 (UTC) ╫

That is a much better idea. Thanks! _mich 17:01, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Police car identification

I heard somewhere that the Police GTO's were referenced as the Monaro in some European adversiments and reviews. Anyone know if this is true, since the GTO is essentially a rebadged Monaro. --293.xx.xxx.xx 11:06, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

PC Support

Currently the article states that EA has announced that PC Support and patching has been cancelled, however I can't find anything but a forum post to back that up. EA hasn't announced anything officially, AFAIK. --Strangnet 06:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Online Play

Can someone add information regarding "Online Play" for the PC with as much detail as possible.

Serious Comments

Note: This is a very long comment because this might be serious from Electronic Arts.

Ok. I don't know why Electronic Arts canceled online gaming for the PlayStation 2, but I know that many PlayStation 2 fans were both angered and dissapointed because of the cancellation of online gaming, making the Xbox Live from the Xbox 360 to get a full advantage. I hope I might make like a never-before seen Need For Speed: Most Wanted Gold Edition which it will be different. Trust me. This is my only hope to redeem them to return online gaming for the PlayStation 2. Only on PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360. The graphics should be vivider than Burnout Revenge, but this time, it'll offer free roam and the damage and the cops will remain, but this time, it offers paint scrapes, cars from Burnout Revenge should be there, will offer it to transfer cars on both Need For Speed: Underground 2 (a classic game) and Need For Speed: Most Wanted on both "My Cars" on the menu and the cars from Career Mode. And if theres an impound that it's been stamped, it's automatically removed. Rockwood City should be even larger and there will be more cities, races and even tougher cops, but as long as the crashbreaker (from Burnout Revenge) will be active, the cops can't arrest one single opponent or stand a chance against the toughest vehicles. Like from step 1 to 3 customization, it'll do the same thing to your own cars like from Burnout Revenge. It'll offer Race Editor so once you're done creating it, it'll appear on the Career Mode. It can offer Online Mode so this time, it'll add 2 more A.I. cars and it'll transfer your account to the new game. It can now cycle from day to night and with weather conditions. It can also offer more cars which might be a non-customizable vehicles, only to be changed by rims, dimensions andpaints (like decals, vinyls, etc.). The developer is now Criterion Games, along with RenderWare and still the more developer is EA Canada. I soon want to become king of video games because it's my only hope to give them hope to get a perfect score known as the "Perfect 10" on GameInformer. Even if they decline it, they still got to accept it. I can't make PlayStation 2 fans lose hope for them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anything Else (talk • contribs)

While I see that you had put a lot of effort in discussing suggestions for the game, you should have better luck finding comments and engaging a discussion by posting this in relevant Internet forums. This talk page is only designated to discuss changes in the article and verification of facts there. Thanks. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 15:18, 16 April 2006 (UTC) ╫

I know. It's because EA refused to offer online gaming even with the Black Edition. I need to give hope for my PlayStation 2 fans so all I got to do is wait for the money to get sufficient and I'll be able to tell them to create the Gold Edition which will be different.

Electronic Arts became a traitor within PS2 fans

I do got a better idea. This summer, I'm going to get payback with Electronic Arts for becoming a traitor within my PlayStation 2 fans and myself. I don't know how long am I going to be here, but I'm sure I'll meet with GameInformer. I'm going to fight back Xbox 360 and Electronic Arts due to cancellation of online gaming for the PS2. They think it is a good idea, but they made a terrible mistake. This special game will remain a mystery as I will be as an assistant. Both Burnout Revenge cars and both NFSU2 cars and NFSMW cars only on PS2 (on the Xbox 360 only transfers cars from NFSMW). This is why PS2 fans hated it. when PS2 fans will fight back with Xbox 360, that is the whole idea. Need For Speed: Revenge is an unknown game that I'm not creating this, but helping it.

Note that article talk pages in Wikipedia is intended to discuss changes in the article, not the topic itself, as the guideline states, Wikipedia is not a soapbox. You may have better luck receiving a satisfactory response in relevant public forums or message boards. Hope that helps. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 16:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC) ╫

This is for my PlayStation 2 fans. Is that I don't know why Electronic Arts cancelled online gaming. It's like they have switched sides. Thanks anyway, that includes you, PLayStation 2 fans. Anything Else 8:45 AM 16 May 2006

I don't know how to use forums, RingADing. It might be impossible to create an account, because it does not let me. Try to figure it out and see what is going on. Anything Else

Em, my name is ZS, btw. It appears you refered me by my talk page link. :D ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 17:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC) ╫

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I did'nt know you're name is ZS. Because of the McAffe Anti-Virus, I can't go to the forums, so I'll need to handle this one of my own, like telling them to make Need For Speed: Revenge, otherwise, I owe my PlayStation 2 fans copies of the Need For Speed games.

Fansites

There are too many fansites. Normally I wouldn't care, but seeing that recently on the Runescape article all these people said having fansites on Wikipedia articles are not allowed, these should probably be removed or moved to StrategyWiki. (Trust me, I'm trying to tell you in a nice way, but there are a few users I know of that will not be happy if they find the fansites. ;) WIKIPEEDIO 01:20, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Passage requiring source (Online play in the PS2 )

From this edit:

“ Electronic Arts was influenced because many PlayStation 2 fans were both angered and dissapointed because they offered no online gaming for the PS2. As many PS2 fans will say to Electronic Arts: "A traitor within". ”

Where was this information cited from ? (If the passage was derived from forums, I don’t really see this as notable unless it garnered notable publicity.) Secondly, the passage is completely vague as to what exactly was influenced in EA. (did they reintroduced online play for the PS2? Have they issued any statements?) ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 18:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC) ╫

I do agree with this quote. Electronic Arts did became a traitor within because of lack of rendered online gaming. That is terrible. I know they are making Need For Speed: Carbon and if they intend to cancel online gaming for the PS2 version, many PS2 fans will have to e-mail Electronic Arts that they are betraying us and switching sides against Xbox 360. Shame on you, Electronic Arts. Best Gamer 15:35, 18 July 2006

I would rather a notable source that suggests EA is a "traitor" for cancelling online play is provided before I am convinced. If this claim is simply based on one's opinion, I'm sorry to say that Wikipedia is not a soapbox to voice one's own point of view. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 17:24, 18 July 2006 (UTC) ╫

Also considering the fact that the last few games (Hot Pursuit, Underground, and Underground 2) were all multi-console. They're "backstabbing" the PS2 fans as much as they are the GC fans by not including online, which the GC has never had. FyreWulff 17:50, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

removal of fansite links

Because this page is loaded with fansites (which is not allowed according to Wikipedia Policy), only having the biggest one there is allowed. Therefore, after looking at Alexa.com's Need for Speed Fansite Rankings, the most popular NFS fansite was NFScars. Therefore I will delete all the other fansites. If anyone wishes to see how I got this data, look to the right of the following page: http://www.alexa.com/browse?&CategoryID=6986 . Thanks, WIKIPEEDIO 01:43, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Also, EA has a screenshots section, a forum, and the demo download for NFSMW on their website, so we don't need to link out to unofficial sites to get those things. I will remove those too. WIKIPEEDIO 01:46, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure that is the right decision? Make sure virtually all detail is covered in there. If it is not link to a toplist. J.J.Sagnella 16:34, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Five grand, FIVE GRAND.

Shouldn't we mention the publicity of the FMV, with Gamespot's useage of the five grand line? -user:Cody-schmidt

Go ahead. It will be an interesting addition. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 19:24, 28 June 2006 (UTC) ╫

all done. Whadda ya think? -user:Cody-schmidt
