ReleaseEdit

Need for Madness Multiplayer Beta is now officialy released, at 12th of September 2011. It has several features like Car Coloring and Player Invites, with the player's selection of the 27 stages that could be played (from both Need For Madness games)

Hacking IssuesEdit

There are many reports of hackers, due to the game being downloadable and hackable. Thus, players may alter many elements of the stages, with one infamous person known as Bob/BADASS (or B.o.b.) is known to make his cars invincible and instantly win without notice. It was also noted that Bob had the ability to change stage names, laps and the amount of players for a game. SkyBullet is another infamous hacker, known to obtain account passwords and steal codes, accounts, etc.This has laid to many more complaints and problems. However, Omar Waly has fixed that problem by adding more security for the uploaded content.

Impersonation IssuesEdit

As many users are not (or cannot) register, other people may impersonate others as wanted. From the above, many players are often impersonated, the most popular being the more famous people on the community.

Public AccountsEdit

Another problem reported in Multiplayer are public accounts. By public accounts, this means that the original author of the account had their password leaked in the game or through other sites like Facebook. As a result, unregistered players were able to play using these accounts giving place to some problems with the cars and stages uploaded through such channels. With public accounts, even more than one person can use these accounts, with some letters being capitalized to avoid confusion or conflict with the same name. Many of them are currently expired or their passwords have been changed, but some leaked accounts are currently still active.

The usual main cause of these public accounts to occur is if the original author of the account let someone else borrow his/her account. But rather than using it in a suitable manner, the borrower of the account 'leaks' the password of the account, which in return can be used by other people in a matter of seconds.
