AG from EGMR writes: "I really like Need for Speed, we're talking Carly Rae Jepsen levels of really liking something, but there are so many issues with it that beggar belief. Issues arising from elements and functions which shouldn't be there to begin with. It all left me a little sad because Need for Speed is just brimming with the energy and atmosphere that made Underground 2 such a timeless classic.
So really, what were EA and Ghost thinking with some of the things they did to this game? Get rid of them and I honestly believe that Need for Speed would be great."
The Criterion studio is focused on Battlefield and there are no short-term plans for a new title.
Fans: Need for Speed Underground 1 + 2 Remake
EA: Why no one buy our live service games???
Oh ea... Your ability to destroy everything you touch will never cease to amaze me. I guess Madden is still going but only because the people that play it are not very intelligent. That, or they're masochists that love getting screwed.
What Ea need to do remake PS1 Highstakes or PS2 Hotpursuit 2 or Underground 1 with Cop's
Players who want a similar experience to the Need for Speed games should check out the following racing titles.
Only game I've seen remotely come CLOSE to NFS Underground is JUICE 2 Hot Import Nights PS3
Customization upgrades.

Truth. Loved Midnight Club.
I wouldn't be mad at another proper Underground or Most Wanted (PS2/X360) entry though.
Replies(1)Out of 30 years Ea Canada made all PS1 versions they were New and Exciting then Blackbox Studio took over all were Fantastic.
Criterion Games took over Every last title is and was Junk including Unbound.
Suckers. Cash, Money, Fast.
Well EA didn't include a single player story mode so they wanted to cut overall costs which seems very lazy and greedy to me. It shortchanges the consumer as well which isn't cool, and then they will ask for money later on down the road for extras sigh!
Only played the beta.
All at night. Engine needs upgrading to day/night cycle badly.
Handling was not as good as most wanted or rivals imo.
City feels lifeless and I've noticed it in newer full game video's.
I would like to see most wanted 2 with what I said above.
... this series was dead to me ever since they gave up on the Hot Pursuit games.
