★★★★★ "Doesn’t truly support modern flagship devices and modern IOS versions.. This game is old… yes… but I would have expected at least basic graphic option settings for more powerful devices. The games FPS is locked to 30, and that wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t stutter so much. The PC and console versions look so …" - what's burger

Doesn’t truly support modern flagship devices and modern IOS versions.
This game is old… yes… but I would have expected at least basic graphic option settings for more powerful devices. The games FPS is locked to 30, and that wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t stutter so much. The PC and console versions look so much better.
It’s resolution is poor, and the games aspect ratio doesn’t correctly fit modern devices.
Not only that but the PC and console versions of this game fully support controller. Would it be so hard to add controller support for a game with such horrible and unintuitive touch controls? The game is good, I like the game! I just hate the mobile port.

Backbone should work
No backbone use lame
Who writes these fake reviews? The graphics are great. The controls simply suck
Fix the game controls. The year is 2026 not 1998! You can not boast the best racing game
Compre el juego y ni siquiera abre
logre pagar el juego despues de mucho tiempo y luego cuando intento abrirlo, que aparece el icono de EA, se cierra el juego totalmente y si repito la accion hace lo mismo
Not enough effort
The developers clearly didn’t put enough effort into this game. The issues that need to be fixed and the features that need to be added are obvious, yet they remain ignored. It’s disappointing to see such a lack of attention from the team when the community knows exactly what’s missing.
this game sucks
this game sucks bc why do you have to pay five bucks to buy a game that barely works on an iphone 17 pro and it's STILL pay to win?!?! the races are way too hard unless you buy in game credits and get the best cars possible every time you unlock a new one
No gamepad accessibility
It’s crazy but gamepad doesn’t work on this game. Useless
Xbox controller
It would be dope if I could use a controller
Not the most wanted you are looking for.
Yeah. I seen need for speed most wanted and a screen shot of the m3.. what! It’s most wanted! Take my money. Wait… wait. What is this. Where’s the m3? Nooooo! Nonononoooo! That’s how it went. Super disappointed. The game could be fantastic but I’m already so disappointed. Totally didn’t realize the 2012 remake was completely different.
Please Add Backbone Support
Really needs controller support and more customization options.
Пздц
Ужасная игра в которой нет даже настроек графики, поиграл в пиксели просто
Trash
Awful AI Cops，only strikes me and ignore other cars
Raro
Lo descargué y no puedo entrar al juego 🤨
Хуета
Игра сделанная даунами для даунов. Играть невозможно, управление придумал конченный дегенерат, который наверное даже не пробовал играть в это. Ничего общего с nfs нет
Doesn’t work with Controller
Needs to allow you to use a game controller.
Cant OPEN THE APP
WHY I CANNOT OPEN THE APP AND I JUST PAID FOR IT ????PLEASE RESOLVED IT OR JUST REFUND ME😢😢😢
Blah
Glad they decided to bring the game to the App Store but the fact that I can’t use a controller makes it pointless and trash. Don’t waste your money as I did.
This game is whack
This game is a paid to win it’s nothing like the real nfs
Ball
Worst game I ever seen total rip off you can even explore the map
I will give you one star
My reason of putting a one star is that the AI of the cops only targeted you no one else but you not even the NPC who is racing you doesn’t get hit. It will happen to me. Is that when I was a kid I love this game by the way I loved it right but now I see why it was hard for me before like. The cops are after you. You don’t go after the other NPC they’re around. You only go after you like what happened to me is that I was doing a race. Jaguar. Right and I had a BMW. And. As I was racing in the left side, there’s a sun beaming at you. And you can’t even tell which side to go so if you go to the left, there’s an NPC WAITING FOR YOU TO HIT IT to slow you down and then when the cops put spikes the NPC goes over them and doesn’t get affected but when you go, you get affected by the spike will I recommend you playing this game? I tell you no don’t if you really wanna waste your money, it’s not worth it. It’s already a rage beat. It’s not worth it.
Don’t waste your time or money
Absolute garbage, try to use skill through drifting and unlocking faster vehicles and you will still deal with targeted wreckage. Used to enjoy this game years ago, now its just pay to win, ragebait of a game.
Can’t even open the app😂
Just bought the game kicks me out soon as I open it
Can I have a refund
Appreciate it
العبه لا تشتغل
عندما ادخل إلى اللعبه يطلعني من اللعبه تلقائيا

Not worth it
Not the original game. Very cheap, linear, and no open world.
not worth the money
got excited when i saw the most wanted nothing like the original not worth money at all you can even customize your own car it’s literally just using the title to rebrand an cheap asphalt 9 DO NOT BUY THIS GAME
Needs support for controller
Just bought this game to try it out with my external controller and no doesn’t work. Wasted my money on this game that feels. Save your money this game dont get this game if you plan on using an external controller
Problem
There is a problem in the game. Every time I want to enter, it does not allow me and takes me out of the game immediately before anything appears on the screen. I hope that you will work on a new update that solves this problem. By the way, I bought the game two days ago.
Needs to be able to play with backbone
I downloaded this game because I love it but it’s not that fun without a controller and I got a backbone I wish I could use it.
Update!
It won’t play anyone has the app shut down?
Fix this issue please
I bought this game a few months back and it was working just fine and I have an iPhone 13 but I downloaded it now and it just immediately kicks me out not even the logo pops up before it even kicks me out i don’t know what’s going on but if you could please fix what this issue is or tell me if it’s on my end on how to fix it would be great
Sound
Fun little game but even after turning my volume all the way up there is no sound! Messed with the settings and everything and still nothing!
game is broken

GAME WON’T OPEN!
Downloaded and bought the game and I’m not sure why it doesn’t open it and it just takes me off.
No
First the game dosnt charge when you get in
Doesn’t want to work!
I was pretty excited to play this on my phone, but the games doesn’t want to work, it has too much glitches, the app freeze, and it’s horrible. Please developers fix this game.

Need Controller Capabilities
It’s ok to use the controls on the screen but there are players out here that prefer to use controllers as well this was my favorite game growing up on PlayStation… we need controller support as well!!!!!
Update please
I had an android before and it looked better graphically there than in a brand new iPad, also they had the option to connect a controller and play but overall it genuinely looked way better on android this is very disappointing
Управление в игре
Самое конченное управление из всех гонок,которые пробовал,особенно руль,который реагирует с задержкой
Controller support
Alright
Meh
I feel like I was kinda ripped off. There’s little to do except replay the same small levels again and again and for what. If you remember the console game being fun keep looking for something else
Game is fun but needs controller support
Game needs controller support to be fully up to speed with the console counterparts.
Needs Controller Support:
I have a Backbone Pro and it does not work with the game.
Help
Needs controller support I’m on 5th place with the police following me want to disable the cops as well as I want to use my backbone controller to play this game
Bruh
