- Motor City Online beta impressions 2001-08-10 · 37 postsA poster asked beta testers about EA's Motor City Online. Many objected that it is online-only with a monthly fee, while testers reported early server lag that later improved, auction-based parts and cheaters disconnecting from pink-slip races. Several posters planned to try the cheap beta CD.
- Is anyone playing Motor City Online? 2001-11-14 · 35 postsLarry asked why nobody discussed EA's Motor City Online. Most were put off by the $10 monthly subscription on top of the purchase price and by reports from the beta of grinding, auctions and chat rooms with mediocre handling. SimRacer and a few others defended it as fun and community-building, while others recommended Gran Turismo or waiting for Street Rod 3.
- Banter about Detroit and Need for Speed Motor City 2001-03-06 · 22 postsA mention of Need for Speed Motor City, due in the third quarter, turned into joking about Detroit as a place to live. Andre Warringa later linked Andre Streu's texture updates for converted GPL tracks including Detroit.
