NFS ProStreet: Announcers' Reactions to Questionable Car Choices 

Could very well be. But like I was saying I think it could’ve been my headset because the audio on headphones is that much better

Subbed and liked, thanks for the effort fren

Thank you for adding the subtitles, they really help

@@Joseph86__I don't think your headphones is the issue. You're on a laptop, so you probably also have a EQ app that came with your sound driver. Laptop sound drivers internally use a different EQ profile when you're using and not using headphones. When you unplug and use the laptop speakers, the EQ switches to an internal profile meant to make the speakers sound as good as it possibly can (i.e. tuned specifically for the laptop you have; this will also sound very "boosted" to everyone else who listens to this on headphones after you record the video), then when you plug the headphones back, the internal EQ switches off, and the sound profile returns to normal (or uses whatever custom EQ profile you may have created in the app). If you want to hear what it *should* sound to everyone else in a recorded video, you need to disable the EQ entirely. Hope this info helps.

@@2007excalibur2007 gonna look into it when I get back home, thanks brother 💪

I’m dead 💀 like why pick the car for the race day if it’s not a good drifter?

To be fair tho the announcer had no say in the car choices, that’s all on the organizers

"Who said American Muscle can't drift?"

@@misterjersey5460 yo this was deadass an edit I was going to use in Random Moments pt 2 😂

@@misterjersey5460 Yeah I think those comments would've been better suited if you attempted to use it as a Grip car.

Gotta love them LT motors 😂

In all honesty none of these aged well, the car community (especially now) has proven on numerous occasions that a lot of these cars are capable of doing a lot of the things the announcers said they couldn't. Granted some cars are better than others for certain task but is by no means impossible, especially drifting in muscle cars.

​@@TheSeventhDeadlyMatadorBecause there are nobody cutting up the (back then) new cars to modify them. It's like bringing a Aventador SVJ to a small town drag strip, or a 911 GT3 that just rolled off the production line to a drift event.

It got LS

@@Hoshino_szr Fair enough

Couldn’t have said it better myself

@@Joseph86__ It adds to the immersion, wish games nowadays do this too.... but alas..

Man, i never knew the smallest details back then

I always noticed it and that's why Pro Street is in my top 3 all-time.

​@@ultramarsfinest1536nba kinda have it. When i made my own character, it will actually mention my name and since my character was 5'4", the commentator will call me shorty

It was a beast in drift races once you understood how the mechanics of the game worked…I posted higher drift scores in that car than in the Mazda RX-7, Mazda RX-8, Nissan 350Z, or Nissan S-15!

lmao lucky the game doesnt have a falcon coz that barra would have eaten all of em

ae86 was always highest scoring for me, could get 25k on the infineon raceway middle section drift reliably@@BigDapPacino

Especially in that accent 😂

me when uhmmm ummm i take a lap race cat to a drift competition i like using things wrong way i'm a racist i like racing

"I'm fucking invincible!!"

Ok a Carrera GT is a Bad Choice but come on: I have Seen Lots of 911s Drifting

Until you snap oversteer

It’s not like the car performance makes any sense, most of the super cars get gapped by the Leon

​@@christianlenik5307 back in 2007-8? Not that many would be my guess lmao.

Pro street and Horzion 1 nailed the vibe, wished that Horizon would stick with it instead of feeling...idk more corporate?

I would love a new ProStreet game. Despite the flaws this game had so much character and was a lot of fun to play.

Fun fact: The announcer for the Noise Bomb & Battle Machine sections is Jarod de Anda (BigJ), the same announcer for Formula Drift to this day

Also Dirt 2.

didnt he do red bull drift shifters too?@@christalmeph

to be fair porsche cars oversteer, i would argue they can be great drift cars

@@joaquingonzalez834 Yes but by design they are made for maximum grip, which makes them harder to drift.

Yeah I gotta say I actually tried drifting that GT2 off camera and it was absolutely impossible 💀 it wouldn’t slide at all

Long time ago in the late 2000s, there was a Hankook sponsored drift team who build a classic 993 as their drift car (with Tyler Mcquarrie as a driver) to compete in Formula Drift. It's not a new car but I was surprised to see it in action on some old drift videos lol.

There was an FD driver who used a 599 for ages, and still does haha. That to me is even more insane

I’d be shitting myself if I were the Eclipse driver 💀

Honestly bro. That thing would be a total monster. I'd hate to be the eclipse driver☠️

@@sugma69420 "Just finished my Eclipse build, should be pretty good at the drag strip!" "You will be racing a 1,100 HP Lamborghini Murcielago." *"You said what?"*

@@lordpumpkinhead265 Relax, he is probably some trust fund kid who will wreck daddy's wheels. He spent way too much just to lose to you.

​@@MrAsaqe but he drives like a pro... THEN you're screwed

Especially considering ProStreet was, by EA’s own admission, very heavily rushed. Insane they were able to shoehorn in all that detail in such a short space of time when most people would never have noticed.

​@@toypop96 ProStreet was really meant to be a filler game so they released something in '07 and sink more time into Undercover lmao the irony

@@toypop96 Looks like EA actually cared for ProStreet instead of Undercover.

​@@LorikQuinn ProStreet was not meant to be a filler game. It spent almost as much time in development as Undercover did, and in fact Black Box was split into two separate teams to work in both games. It was a mainstream NFS release, and although it was rushed for its 2007 release, it was not a game that was simply cobbled together in a few months as many people seem to believe.

​@@ToyotaSPRINTERTRUENO1986koukiI'm currently playing this game on my old PS3 and I own Unbound on PS5. This game is leagues better. And I'm an A$AP Rocky fan and can admit this game is MUCH better. Kinda confused why EA and the NFS series haven't done another one but more sim oriented. Especially with the dodge demon... the madness at Goodwood over the years... prostreet could be doing it better than everyone again. I really hope so soon!!!

At 15:28 announcer should said to opponent that selecting Chevelle may be a serious miscalculation instead of saying to Ryan using C2 Vette 😂

Member of Akimura gang using chevelle, what's wrong exactly for that 😅

@@ranggapratama4726Tony Manila uses a Classic Camaro they can drift despite being a boaty muscle car.

And then they made the boss races really easy. Not to mention that Joe Tackett guy from APEX GLIDE. Like, he's hyped up as THE JOE TACKETT. Feared Drag Racer, GOAT. and then you race him and you could beat him on foot. It's also kinda funny how the female drag boss is called a DRAG KING, like how the others are. I think it's a reference to Drag Queens (men who dress as women). There's another funny bit where there's a sign in one drag race that says "feel the power of 500 horses" despite the fact that by the time you would be in the event your car would have Wayyyy more than that.

@@georgebull-mclean3333 A Drag King is a woman that dresses in a manly manner and acts as stereotypically masculine as possible as part of a routine or a show. In Karol's case, she's a woman competing in one of the most "masculine" (Drag tends to be associated with big bloc muscle, and the like) disciplines in a male-centric sport (professional racing). With that in mind, her title actually MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

​@@georgebull-mclean3333Man, most bosses suck but the worst offender is Ray Krieger. That guy will ALWAYS either total his BM or bunk it deep in the sand. I tried retrying over and over to get a nice challenge but nope. I really don't know how dude got to be King. The one with the Porsche should be it imo

​@@carlosdasilva2409Rudy Chen was unfairly good at grip races, even my record blue 911 couldn't touch him, i had to push him in the last turn to beat him.

@@DemonGodDemigra Man, Rudy Chen would have been a great Boss. I think I beat him with the Nissan 350 that you get from Battle Machine plus some upgrades but damn it was very challenging

That’s why ProStreet is one of my all time favorites, the game has so much personality 🤣

Who is that?

​​@@KingLich451He is known as endurance racing commentator, especially in big race like Le Mans 24 Hours, WEC, IMSA or other events. In ProStreet he plays as Roger Evans, React Team Session's announcer

At first I was wondering where I recognised that voice. Then it hit me.

The announcer definitely adds a level of detail and immersion I have yet to see in a modern NFS imo

The game feels much more alive because of it, this 2007 semi-legal street track racer is tow to tow with most freeroam games because of how alive it feels

yeah but nah

Imagine if Undercover was just an open world DLC for this game. Or vice versa I guess lol

​@@Namiz00 I really want something like this and Juiced to make a comeback. Serious racing not taking itself THAT seriously is severely missed these days.

😂

Corvette Stingray needing to powerslide for over 200m for any kind of turn 😂😂

A Civic can go 404Kmh on a speed challenge without drafting. Stage 4 + manual clutch + stock gearbox glitch (optional)

Yeah, seeing a man drift a late 60s Impala IRL really shows people WILL make it work even if you're suffering and struggling more than anyone else on track for your novelty points... lol.

@@scottjs5207 You call it suffering and struggling, I say teaching humility is worth every moment

@@MiGujack3 the physics in this game are a joke above 370kmh i shitted my pants because once you get above those the car doesnt steer lol, after you reach certain speed the car wont steer on pc you needed to lift to overtake, not sure if is a bug with certain cars though with the subie, certainly above certain speed it wont steer and it will feel like on rails i crashed a lot because of drafting, a lot of times i thought the CPU made it on purpouse lol

@@scottjs5207 heavier cars are a nightmare for newbies as weight transfer is heavier when you change directions, you can drift semi trucks too, RR and MR cars are a challenge because they have a different way to drift than a RWD car

Hell yeah! I’ve personally found the 69 Charger to be a fantastic drift car especially on the Autobahn and in Willow Springs

I thought the same. I chose the famous "no grip" Nate 65 Pontiac for drifting and it did extremely well

@@KenTheChadDoing a playthrough currently and I’ve chosen a ‘65 GTO as my drifter and it’s awesome I’ve also chosen a AE86 as my speed challenge car haha it accelerates like crazy then spends 90% of the race redlining at 160mph, good for the first few speed challenges but will have to think of another crazy car to use later on

Ye, winning the Chevy in the Willow Springs challenge is only overshadowed by the fact that the IS350 is insane on wheelies. It's a fantastic drift car. Then again, we've seen what classic American muscle can do going sideways from Tokyo Drift, so is it really surprising?

Yep like in carbon my drift car was a 69 charger and it did great

That's because ProStreet wasn't "filler". It started development right after Carbon finished and spent almost as much time in development as Undercover did.

@@ToyotaSPRINTERTRUENO1986kouki hmm that's what i was saying that many people said the Pro Street was a filler title. but the amount the work of that had gone into the game said other wise. It was and is still better then Undercover.

@@JoeMama426-fu7qj Undercover a spin off of prostreet ??

@@JoeMama426-fu7qj what how tho?

@@JoeMama426-fu7qj i agree prostreet feels like a world on it's own.

If only I could keep her steady 😂

Goofy physics 💀

@@Joseph86__9:36 that one wheel wheelie was insane

TBF... that track wasn't exactly straight... And inreasing the downforce might've helped... I don't know if you can modify the body at all because I'm not personally interested in using an Aston.

⁠@@scottjs5207I think the ONLY car that cannot have any aftermarket body parts is the Nissan GTR Prototype. It can’t have ANY visual customization, for that matter. You can’t even paint it!

someone never saw dukes of hazard

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1zvA120d-_c.htmlsi=KwNmyF7WQUJ0K_5r This French man will prove to everyone

Same here

Announcers: “You can’t win a drag or drift race in (insert unconventional car choice for said events here); that’s just fucken stupid!” Ryan Cooper AKA The *_ULTIMATE_* Gigachad: “Watch me, bitch.”

Accurate.

Huh. I did hear the noise bomb invites but usually they end after I compete in their events

Consider this as an invite to other season of NB.

I’m saying bro like be fr this ain’t a base model CTS 😂

Man. i've seen videos on youtube with that car they're pretty good cars if moded and tuned correctly and properly. I feel bad for the shit trippin at pro street.😔

They*

I know, he just plays the role of “Roger Evans” in the game

Trust me bro it’d be a dream come true for me and many others #WeWantNFS

The NFS community recently did an overhaul of the game with with a mod called the Pepega Mod. They've added a lot of cars and moves some tracks to different modes too.

As bad as I wanna play it I heard from a lot of people PC requirements are higher for it than the base game and I have a low end PC

Have you heard of the Pepega Edition mod? It adds quite a lot to the game beyond just the memes.

@@demomanchaos yes I have

Also: I found out that as odd as it is, 1st Gen GTO's are probably one of the best choices for Drift in NFS PS. As long as it is a high speed course, you can make upwards of 20K points with the right setups. I once had a ~32K point Drift run in Willow Springs. It happened 3 years ago and i didnt record it, so i dont remember the exact score.)

Personally I haven’t tried the 66 GTO but holy crap it sounds impressive! I did end up trying the 69 charger and surprisingly it’s an underrated drift car. I think I got about a ~12k run in the Willow myself

Also shame that, Pepega team can't replaces announcer lines used before racing

@@ryan2t4 They could, thanks to The_Unpunished's tool, but were running out of ideas IIRC. Zyphir told me about this.

​@@KevinAbillGamingand that tool was released in nfsmods

Well, that's because in reality Muscle cars are fairly heavy so they can be a handful to manage, despite their natural aptitude to want to go sideways. Though, it's not like a full size sedan from that era which would be absolutely insane to manage!

...and yes, someone has done it...

​@@scottjs5207I wouldn't doubt it. Lol.

The lines for the Chevelle were the first ones I heard back as a kid too but I overlooked it. Then I saw the video on the lines for the GT and just had to make this! Thanks for watching 🤜🤛

That’s why I love using muscle cars for drift 💪

Yooo my bad the audio quality was definitely a lot better imo when I was editing 😂 custom subtitles in the works as we speak and I’ll put out a pinned comment once they’re done

@@Joseph86__ Sounds perfectly fine to me.

I love those ideas 🔥 my fantasy for a very long time was something VERY similar: like the original ProStreet, but with a night mode with highway racing like on the C1, breaking into the track at night to race, touge battles/tandem drifting, and other illegal street racing all across the globe with cops involved, with pursuits somehow contributing to progression. I suppose kinda like Heat but with IRL licensed tracks, as well as ProStreet’s damage model and a revamped version of its handling. It would be a car enthusiast’s wet dream but I don’t see anything similar happening to ProStreet/Shift again in the future unfortunately.

Plus, bring back real life drivers as bosses like in Shift 2 Unleashed, this is something you never see today.

No free roam please. All the other stuff, i'm in

​@@Joseph86__same. I really want that for the series as it wouldn't be hard to do. The game would look like a grittier version of Need for speed , the version with RWB and Magnus. It would be dope to finally play a "FUN" version of goodwood. Looking at the comments section here EA needs to make this game soon. We're all here for it. I bought my prostreet copy again a little over a month ago... and with the 90 hours a week I work... I still manage to make time to get on for races.

Same here bro I didn’t know half of these even existed

@@Joseph86__same here 😭

I did drift a zonda but I forget the lines that’s said.

Same with the veyron 😂 commentary about your cars is awesome

that's called NFS Heat, sadly it's shit lol

@@Cousinouf exactly, thats why i dont count it kek. and in heat you kinda control the time of day, i want it to be a full natural day/night cycle so you have limited timeframes to do stuff, it has pros/cons and could end up like Unbound if not careful.

Nah that wouldn't make much sense. Not for this game

🙏🏻🙏🏻

Same man I haven’t even seen it in any NFS since undercover 😭

Maybe vol 6, if there will be a vol 6 lol

@@DER_elli I wish!

I do too. Playing this game now. So much fun

That one honestly kinda surprised me a bit and is one of the coolest ones in my opinion!

Broooo this comment sent me 😂

@@Joseph86__ 🤣🤣🤣

Ya man going into the files is way too much work, trust me I was trying to do so for most wanted with the unused police scanner dialogue 😂 As for the CTS my THEORY is that they recorded those lines for the base model CTS but they ended up being used for the CTS-V for some reason. Still, beyond me. Also personally I would’ve liked for there to be specific lines for when you use classic muscle cars in grip races considering they’re honestly terrible choices for grip imo

@@Joseph86__ That's a solid theory about CTS. And muscle cars are quite terrible for Speed races as well, yet announcers kind of praise them in Speed. Either way, I've did almost all the Grip on Chevelle and I've did a lot of Speed in Charger - no one can hold back my love of classic american muscle. And I've actually went into the files, but I've did so to fix physics a bit for the latest ProStreet session, becuase I've got sick of how unfair physics are for some muscle cars. Frankly, looking at some values made me think that things didn't quite go as planned in physics department. Roadrunner has aerodynamics of 10 - darn Zonda has 7. Therefore announcers probably didn't know about the state of physics and how those will impact muscle cars either. Now, I do not think going into the files for the sound would've been too much of a hussle for me, but what stopped me personally is the idea that I would've had to listen to the tons of monologue records - probably hours of them - trying to catch the needed ones.

Glad the subs could help

I’ll have to check it out myself, I knew I’d miss a couple. I was exhausted when I made this so there were definitely some choices I didn’t think of

@@Joseph86__Yeah I discovered it when I was broke so I bought a leon for every type of race (aside from drift ofc) lmao

@@kamikadze5058 sure enough there is dialogue for it! Nice find

​@@Joseph86__ Please try to make a vid of the ones you missed if you can!

@@christopherc7075 sure! It’ll probably be after I upload random moments pt 2 and maybe I’ll even include dialogue for examples like Chevy vs Chevy, Honda vs Honda, Supra vs skyline, etc

Now those I did hear a couple times myself on numerous play throughs. Thought about making a video just for that as well but at the same time I’m not sure

@@Joseph86__ yeah i think it mostly played out during Drag Races
