the best need for speed that came out, cant wait to show my son this when he is older
I remember coming home from elementary school and playing until my mother had to threaten to ground me from it. My friends and I beat it but stayed up until 4:30 am. This game is hands down my favorite amongst the MANY great racing games out there and other games in different genres, so many customizable items, a good bunch of cars, good graphics for its time, fun racing modes, good story. Man this was the shit!
I first played it with my dad when I was like 5. Now I'm 16 and still love the game.
@@burnerdgaf5222 ayyyy I cracked up at the bit when momz had to threaten to ground you to come of hahaha... I didn't even own the game at first it was my older brothers if I was lucky I could vs him lool .. and then the new consoles came out so his old console got passed down to me ..... Your right the customization in the game is epic.. and actually fun to play
@@donnhaveaname ayyy the game is amazing these are the sort of games which I just have to pass down to the generations in my family to come
@@donnhaveaname same over here! My dad used to make me sit on his lap then he used to play and i used to watch then! I got the laptop and I installed some mods and made the game look badass then i make my dad play now lol...ahh the good old times.
UPDATE FOR ANYONE WATCHING IN NOVEMBER 2023: the graphics mod pack is broken currently. the creator will upload 1.4 at some point in the future.
I just installed the graphics mod pack, does anyone else have issues with the car shifting between gears extremely slowly?
Hey bro how did you download it?
@@Retro_carzz I downloaded it with the link provided in the video description
Thanks for the update man. Truly a great member of society. God bless you.
yep, i downloaded it. and its not there
still hoping for a remake of that childhood dream of a game
would probably include a shit ton of paywalls for content
We all hope bro we all do
Midnight club 3 dub edition from PS2?
@@Gemini__HML lmao that was a great Game as Well tbh
I think the only reason they don't do it's because the songs license, this game is not the same without it
Thanks for the links! I just started replaying this game with a racing wheel for the first time ever, and it is amazing. Casually cruising the city before getting into an intense outrun race feel so rewarding. And the feeling of speed in first person view is pretty good as well. Shame it doesn't support H-shifters though.
Where can you find the download link for the game?
Can you play in cockpit/hood cam? Or is chase cam the only option?
@@JimmyGotRustled word, thanks!
Please do more of this modding guides for different NFS and other games. You are good at it.
Bro this game is the reason why i still like 2000/2001/2002... cars tuning style,with those liveries etc.
Thank you for making THIIIISSSSS video.
Doug?

I run the game on 240hz, 240fps, multiple cores, on 1080p and for some reason I’ve never had a single crash, and my game runs FLAWLESS. Best experience I’ve had in while on a video game. Love love love it
bro can i have the link?
I was hoping you might be able to help me too.
I got mine to work but I can't make use of the full definition on my setup. 2560x1600 at 165hz
@@mr.j.martinez enable nividea scaling
It was just so well-made, Like It's got a strong Base...
Thank you so much! Had to try a couple different downloads of the wide screen fix I think some of them were older but thank you! I'm so stoked to be playing this game again
I'm surprised no one has made a video about the essential mods before. It seems so obvious as I see countless videos from TH-camrs on this game and therefore tons of questions on Reddit of how this game is playable today. Some didn't even know the game had a PC version.
You should do this with nfsu, nfsmw 2005, and nfsc. I really liked this.
Dude you have NO IDEA how badly I want a remake of NFSU2... If it comes out, I’d be the first to buy it xD
they would ruin it.
@@justinmichael007no doubt
3:00 *UPDATE:* Newest Widescreen patch fixed the fps drop issues and improved CPU utilization.
*Original comment:*
"That feature won't ensure 60fps on older multi core CPUs (if you have the HD reflections mod installed with all enhancements enabled) but will prevent crashing.
HD reflections adds missing reflections which requires more CPU power (a single core of an old multithreaded CPU can't provide enough power to maintain a solid 60fps with the enhancements enabled).
Thankfully, the game's excessive lighting makes high quality reflections almost impossible to notice, so the extra enhancements aren't worth the fps drop."
For those who are having trouble with the left stick going all the way upwards, just set the Left Stick Deadzone to 0 and it might be fixed. It worked for me,
Worked. Thank you.
my problem is the d pad steers the car and i cant go into races or stores also i cant even press pause it does nothing im on ps5 controller
@@d3ViAnt6 yeah. The newer the technology of the controller the harder is make it work properly. If you have a ps3 controller or similar, try it, you probably won't have more problems.
@@EduardoRandall I got it there was settlings for the controller in the game lol it was hard to get to because of the problem though
@@d3ViAnt6 nice. Enjoy 😉
No mention of the Olympic Imports mod? It adds all cut cars from UG1 and the NSX without replacing any of the in game cars. It’s essential.
do you know what essential means?
@@czopek_to_kolo Do you?
@@czopek_to_kolo do you even English bro?
too bad you can't really mod those cars down to the bone like the regular cars tho
The day they remake this or NFSU3 will be a glorious day
Imagine they would do a NFSU3
Will def be a flop
@@lijobeats my hopes are high but we all know it will flop :(
@jesushomiejt i can agree old most wanted is better in every way
The best memories and no sadness in PlayStation 2. When I played the missions, the game stopped and I was very sad because I loved that game, and now I bought a PC and carried it and played with it. Happy
Thanks mate! Was about to play one of my childhood favourites, glad I ran into this guide first. :)
Superb tutorial man, I appreciate the work!
Leaving a like because of how this well explained where and why to get the mods. (y)
this video is a godsend, thank you!
It´s always surprising how good it still looks even with just the widescreen fix...
others, even newer games, did age much worse
yeah for sure, NFSU2's world was so well stylised and the cars were so detailed, that even the vanilla game all these years later looks gorgeous and distinct
Thank you for this!
It's works for me, you are amazing
The only thing the NFSU2 needs is a good "MOTION BLUR" to get this kind of realism. The PS2 version has the best blur shader, compare it!
i hate motion blur in any game in any shape or form
@@voodoo2006 than you don’t know photorealism
I hate motion blur it gives me aplha game vibes
motion blur is awful for gaming
motion blur makes me feel sick
This widescreen fix works perfectly
I'm 27 years old.... and I'm playing back the game like I'm 10 years old again just like I remember it
Thankyou
how did it work for you? I followed the exact same procedure and it won't work for me at all. I've used it last year and it worked back then.
@@katzarkul I managed to get it going exactly how it was explained in the video, and it worked perfectly
@@A_Finley94x tried everything again today, and it still doesn't work for me.
@@A_Finley94x Ok I was making a dumb mistake where I got the nfsu1 fix instead, even though I've opened the correct links (I've done this multiple times before).
@@katzarkul I realise this is a year late but the graphics mod was most likely breaking your game, the author of the mod updated the link description and said a windows 10/11 update broke it.
Thank you for the Tutorial. I will try it today or tomorrow. 😊
That's how I exactly remember the game visually
"shit happened, D'oh" is all om greeted with 🤣
I'm gonna add the NFS Most Wanted soundtrack using that music importer.
Thanks for the video! Currently in the process of adding eurobeat into my game with the music importer... Lmao
Me:10 years ago.using car mods
YT: now "you hear about nfs mods? " "look at this"
LoL
thank you bro W
Thx bro, the game looks bueatifull right now😄
Thanks for the tutorial :)
big thanks bro
There is no Texmod folder in the Graphics mod.. I do have a folder saying SPEED2 but when I try to open that it says 'Please install Disc 2'
a mi tambien
awesome video, thanks m8
All of those are great but you should have mentioned the sound mod which makes cars sound more realistic
What is the name of the mod?
Great Job, thanks for the Guide! :)
best race gameplay ever
Yea, everything is fine and dandy, until:
1- the texmod shortcut 3 out of times that it opens, it misses what's supposed to do, than closes on it's own
2- The visual reputation remover gets in conflict with the widescreen fix, so I uninstalled it
:(
G'd bless you, man!!
Thanks you very much! It works fine, im trying to add some cars next, vanilla friendly (U2 style cars from 2004 or older)
Thanks good sir, nice vid
Thanks for this good tutorial
Thanks thanks thanks alotttt Bro. It's working
Really good vid
Please make these style videos for other video games such as older NFS titles, rally games etc!
Thanks for the nice hint
For a even more enjoyable game overall, i recommend the Pabloracer engine sound pack.
Thank you you're amazing!!
Widescreen Mod didn't change anything at all for me...
hav u tried restarting you PC?
Hoping they don't remake it and change all the drive physics, soundtrack, mods etc. I want the exact same game with a few minor quality of life improvements and the exact same soundtrack just fresh graphics.
By now the licences for the soundtrack must've expired, so don't expect them to shell out good money for fresh licenses for a remaster.
@@deus_ex_machina_ you're almost definitely right but I'm holding onto hope because it'll be make or break
Danke, geile schritt für schritt anleitung
Nice men! Thanks 2021
I played this game 10 years ago
I became familiar with the game Need for Speed 2 from that picture of Maxima in color and tyres😯
Best NFS ever
The widescreen patch doesn't work no matter what I try.
me too, yu can do he work?
5:08 Or just skip when it asks you to overwrite the files.
I will try it now
Thank you!
You forgot the sound pack mod, it's a must have
Is that the turbo one?
Which one is the best?
excellent, thanks you :-).
Thanks alot!
Hi mate. Not sure if you’ll read this message. But the widescreen fix doesn’t work
bless my g
The wide-screen fix worked like a charm. But I can't hear any music from the game itself. All the other sounds work.
Nice tutorial thank for game is amazing
Help! I applied the graphics mod but my main screen is blurry and sluggish..
Not mentioning of Olympic Imports, which restore UG2 cut cars, bruh.
Question; will we always have to launch the gave via TextMod?
Thank you for the guide by the way!!
From what I've done, yes you would have to otherwise the texmod graphics n visuals won't be loaded up when you run the game
Saddly, this game is underrated, same has Carbon, dont had good car mods for remplace
For example, an actual TRD Supra or a modern GT-R R34, RX-7 Rocket bunny, etc
Also no one make an Rims pack like in NFS Heat
And dont had a Spoiler pack
This game need more love
For the new generation yes it is underrated because they started with all the crap that Criterion made including nfs 2015. You need to go back to the roots and start from there.
Thanks!
Thank you boss
2:55
So, it never does the AI flying quirk on 60?
3:12
It actually didn't for me. It still occasionally crashes during the loading screen in certain situations.
Alright, did the doos and when the game opens there are tons of visual glitches turning it near unplayable... I wonder why these things never work when you try them out for yourself.
Could you do a same primer guide like this but for NSF Most Wanted 2005 too? The one that improves/fixes gameplay and graphic but still retain the near vanilla experience. There are just too many mods for NSFMW.
anyone else having the issue where you cant scroll? it goes straight back up to the top
Same here
very helpfull thankss
Do you have to always run the game through TexMod or is it a one time thing?
Frustratingly, the widescreen fix isn't working for me, even though I installed it last like he recommended. Has anyone else found trouble with this?
Same
@@daxhalanis7169 i'm having trouble saving it!!
@@SteveSaeteurn I got it to work by just skipping the widescreen fix. One of the later mods in Hoshi’s video has an older version of the mod built in that actually works
Doesn't work anymore. Attempting to open with the Texmod does nothing, and the Widescreen fix won't apply either. Tried multiple methods, using foobar, different cracks, patching manually, but to no avail.
Did you have problems with the headlight not appearing on the car but the road is lit up?
I noticed when using the camera to look back and customising the light colour in the garage.
Everything else was perfect.
i loooooooooove you
bro how to fix L2 and R2 issue? :(
Gamepad vs keyboard? What do you prefer? In NFS games ofc.
Feb 2024 trying to install plz help
Pls do these Kind of Videos for the best Black Box games
Cool tutorial. As much as I have nostalgia for the Dragozool graphics mod, it's really outdated and unfaithful to the original. REDUX mod or Last Breath mod are much better choices.
Bro can you help me undo the dragozool texture my nfsu2 doenst open anymore it said to wait for 2-3 mins but 30 mins already passed
@@aralonzo6930 Run Texmod as admin. That's the only way to get the Dragozool mod (or any other mod) to work. If normal UG2 won't, then reinstall the game I guess.
Its still the greatest Street Racing Game ever!
the widescreen fix is not work. the maximum scale is 1280x1024......
I'm guessing you're trying to set the resolution in game? You have to do it through the configuration file which will override the in-game settings
@@HokiHoshi i did everything as you presented in the video. yet not 1920x1080
RIDERS ON THE STORM!
Are u playing the remastered version or just the regular pc version + mods
If you want to play the game with the graphics modpack, do you have to boot it from the Tex mod file each time?
of course when i come and watch this video the thread on reddit has been nuked
I would recommend to install underground map on assetto corsa
Please explain how to setup a sim racing wheel
The WidescreenFix seems to have broken controller inputs on my end. Controller worked fine without the mod but the screen would be stretched out, with it, widescreen looks fine, but the controller inputs are broken. It seems to spam up on the dpad with the mod on, or sometimes spam down. Thought it could be the Xbox controller I'm using, but it does that with any controller with the WidescreenFix mod in there.
Yeah im having issues using a controller as well
I noticed this issue every time I go in the settings
