NFSU2 Cars performances update






Use binary 2.8.3 to install:
run binary.exe as administrator - select user mode - select the install_this_one.end file - open - select the directory where the game is installed - ok - save files? yes - done.

Game version required: 1.2.


I tried to balance the game, nerf the OP starting cars and make late game cars more viable.
Recommended to play with catch up disabled and improved skill for the opponents.
Feel free to test it and give feedback.
Don't reupload this mod.

How did you come to conclusion to change the performance of cars in NFS U2? What I mean is, this game has the most accurate cars stats than any other NFS from 2003-2006 era

@Marred
I have no idea how to do that.

@ShinUchiha
I barely have any time. Testing the cars takes hours.

ShinUchiha (October 21, 2024 @ 01:22)
ok, thanks for the info bro,

Oh yes, I hope for a more updated version of this one, hehe

Hey men, I love your work on nfs u2, I have a question. Are you planning to do an HQ Exhaust. If anyone knows can you please tell me :(

Thisisntme (October 13, 2024 @ 13:41)
By tuning you can improve it even more, just like in the original game. What i did is to change the default settings of the cars, mostly for fully upgraded cars.
