Your Patch and DLC Questions Answered

Any new (free) cars? Where are all the convertibles?
I think it’s pretty safe to say that you will be seeing additional cars available for NFS Undercover in the near future. It’s even likely that some of them will be available for free. Mind you, you may have to earn them in the game somehow…
Lot of us missed traditional cars as Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX '99 or even Volkswagen Golf GTI which appeared in NFS underground and NFSU 2. Why have you guys decided to do not put these old versions of new models? I mean, you do put old and new versions of cars like Skyline or Camaro or Mustang... Are you going to include more cars in this patch like the last year in NFS Pro Street?The car list each year is always one of the hottest topics of conversation both inside and outside the studio. We constantly strive to deliver a list of iconic cars that pleases the majority of our fans. Typically we try to have a good cross-section of cars from Europe, North America and Japan. There is so much passion around specific car manufacturers and models that it almost always makes for heated conversation on the forums and at also at our desks. Supporting NFS titles post-launch going forward allows us to interact with the community and determine what types of cars that people are missing in the shipped game. Hopefully we can have a more open dialogue with you guys going forward and try to deliver some of the cars that you’ve been missing from the latest titles.Are there going to be any new game modes in the next update because loads of people I'm speaking to are saying it would be cool to have new game modes, like Outrun with 8 players allowed, or the one where you have to crash the enemy car to total it; :) something like that would make online so good PLEASE CONSIDER :)A big part of our future on Need for Speed is supporting our titles post-launch for an extended period of time. In fact, we have a team of people (including myself) dedicated to this initiative and are committed to delivering quality, additive content after launching the game. We used to “launch and forget” and now we’re going to “launch and manage” our games. You’re going to see a very cool mix of free content and purchasable content available over the next few months for NFS Undercover. We have some ambitious plans in terms of cars, modes and gameplay that I’ll be able to share with you in the near future.I have a HUGE question....i spent nearly 600 Microsoft points to purchase a GTR which I then jacked up a little, now I have two strikes....is this true that i can lose this car permanently???Good question! Of course we’re not going to stiff you if you happen to get 3 strikes against a car that you have purchased with MS Points. The car should always be available in the car shop once you’ve downloaded it and its purchase price should be $0. The reason there is no cost associated with the car is twofold…the first reason is to avoid the exact situation you described in your question above; the second is to avoid people exploiting the economy in the game by repeatedly selling cars they have purchased with MS Points. You will, however, lose any upgrades (both visual and performance) that you may have purchased for the car. This is the element of “risk vs. reward” that you have to manage when you have 2 strikes against any of your Career cars. Hope that eases your mind bit.
