Hi,
Since I plan to speedrun this game very soon, I have some questions:
When does the timer start? On the first race or when you create a new career file? (both are specified in the rules)
Is there any reason why the bonus cars (Camaro, Porsche, La Nina) are forbidden in Career mode? In the end, you still have to win them in the Pro Cups before you can use them.
Also, would it make sense to split the Career mode into Any% and 100%? Any% would be finishing every Cup/Tour (Bronze, Silver, or Gold) except the Tournament of Champions. 100% is finishing every Cup/Tour on Gold, including the Tournament of Champions.
Cheers!
Sorry for replying so late, I get a lot of notifications and missed this. It's usually better to ask on our NFS discord :)
I edited the timer start since it was copy/pasted from other categories.
"-Timer starts when you click on "Create" and ends when you finish the last race."
Also edited the part about cars. Bonus cars are of course allowed since you can buy them in Career.
I thought about Any% and 100% categories, but if you don't get gold medals in every cup, you don't really achieve anything and you don't unlock Tournament of Champions. There's no message, no credits, no cutscene, just nothing, so in my opinion you don't finish the Career this way. However, I think we could create a new category or subcategory that wouldn't require you to get all golds, but it would definitely not be called Any%
All right, thanks for your reply and the rule changes :) I recently completed a run without unlocking the Tournament of Champions and it still took me nine hours, to I expect a 100% run to take about 12 to 13 hours (ouch).
From what I've tested about a year ago, 10-11 hours is possible, depending on RNG (you can skip some races in long tournaments if you have enough points). I also have a some sort of route if you're interested.
I got a route figured out already and will test it very soon, but I guess playing about 12 hours non-stop will be the biggest challenge, hehe.
Sorry, my internet connection is currently not good enough for that, which might change over the course of this year, but right now I can only do YT videos :/
