Racing video game "Need for Speed" is getting a new patch called the "Icons." According to Destructoid, developer Ghost Games has released the details for the update that will bring some improvements to the latest version of the franchise.
For starters, they are making some changes to their AI Catch Up system. Community lead Ben Walke wrote on the official blog of the game saying that they have been hearing the voices of their fans. That's why when they pointed out the balance of the AI Catch Up System, the team read their feedbacks, watched their videos and their live streams. They then created changes to the AI behavior which would be revealed once the patch is released.
Walke also revealed that a new tile will be added on the main menu screen. It will update gamers for any community event that is taking place and those that are still to happen. They will be bringing three types of events which will stretch throughout the coming months and offer tokens like bonus cash, discounts and bonus REP.
