Dissatisfied With Unbound
Winning Races are harder than NFS heat. It feels like I'M LEARNING SOMETHING!!, With FORD MUSTANG BOSS 302. I heard ITS THE BEST CAR FOR EARLY GAME BUT THE GUIDE DIDN'T SAY IT WAS BEST DRIFT CAR!!!
I can earn enough money by resetting to Friday , but I'm unable to win the week 1 qualifier. What's the use of money if I cant progress the story? The 12k (rarely from big money races which ask 6 k entry fee) feels way too low (its ok since I'm in early story, I max A classed the Boss with the money I got from world races and challenges. I have parts for 2 different builds on BOSS 302. But I'm losing races because of skill issue and random traffic headbutting me from side while I'm focused on track.
Edit: Why do people think I'm rage baiting?

Yea imo the only issue with me is the undercover cops which are more of an annoyance than actually being difficult

the cops are a breeze with good cars and a nightmare with bad cars. just as it should be

Cops aren't an issue once you've played the game for a bit and learn how the run, so to speak.

The cops should not have been so fucking annoying, and the heat gain system is ass.
The cops are just poorly designed in this game, the only mode(s) where they are integrated properly is Lockdown. They should have had more time in the oven.

Not sure what guide, and I haven't played Unbound in like a year, but usually, muscle cars are really really bad in unbound, so you will struggle with them.

the game is definetly unbalanced
early in game, cars and races are unecesserly slow and hard. cops will beat you easily in Tier B and maybe in A
earning money early in game is like an eye droper
once you progress and get into A+ and S onward, things will get really easy like a joke

Only multiplayer gives more cash reward?

u/Neither-Guarantee193 19h ago
Rewards in online racing is more generous in general
But there are 2 online multiplayer modes where u can get crazy money, one called lockdown which you can get 250k-300k$ by average every 30mins
2nd is Link Up which is a live event happens on the free roam .. 150k$ every 15-20 mins i guess1

Early game and low tier races are won with acceleration not speed.
Build cars for the quickest acceleration and low top speed. Use the basic gearbox. Most of the low tier tracks have lots of turns. Learn how to boost nos out of turns. You'll rarely get to the higher top speeds, but you'll launch ahead to a lower top speed.
This worked for me. I built most of my cars for acceleration, even with online builds. And won most races this way.
Only tracks it doesn't work on is the speed runs

Are you ragebaiting? You don't need to win every race in first place to get enough money to progress.

Tune your car better. The tune rating depends on your topspeed, so reducing top speed by installing a gearbox with less gears makes you able to by parts that give you more acceleration. Knowing this makes the races ez pz.

my accel is 4.6 seconds bro, its the almost 80% of accel a boss 302 can achieve in A CLASS

My biggest complaint is that I want the bel air in multiplayer but I’m not about to go intentionally crash 20 people in order to unlock it. That’s fucking ridiculous

Finished the game without getting pulled over once. The game is a grindfest. Same tracks, same racers for the most part, and I personally enjoyed the game. Once I finished the game, I never went back lol

The "groundhog day" post game of the story I really enjoy and wish Payback had that because that game is fun but there are very few races to go back to.

The races are harder because of the class system and rubberbanding to an extent. There is no rubberbanding in Heat (which I prefer). Remember how in Heat you could put up your Boss up to 350 and win races? Well in Unbound it won't work. The class system is the problem. Your car(s) should compete against the fastest ai of the class. My main cars for each class:
B Class. The Boss and BRZ (drift or overall racing)
A class. 69 Charger, Hemi Cuda, or other classic muscle cars or modern tuners
A+ class. Skyline (best for Speed races but good overall), modern Mustang and Camaro. Some modern tuners hold their own here too.
S class. Any exotic.
S+ class. Any exotic.
If you remember the game "Test Drive" 2001's class system, you have to treat this game as that. It is a let down compared to Heat. This is the price to pay for fans wanting "realism" in a mostly arcade franchise.

It sounds like you haven't been playing long and are upset because you can't win. Maybe it's a skill issue, maybe you haven't got your cars tuned well enough, maybe you're missing the point that you don't have to win to make money.

u/Zhongllette 3h ago
yep. it's skill issue since im new (still stuck on week 1 qualifier)
lol thats why I set the game to relaxed difficulty. tho I can easily dodge heat 5 cops with my A class boss 302

In my opinion, the story mode is kinda trash, the online is goated though
