EA, please bring back Need for Speed ProStreet - Remastered
EA, Bring Back Need for Speed ProStreet — The Remaster Fans Deserve Dear EA and Need for Speed developers, I’m writing this as a passionate Need for Speed fan with one request: Please bring back Need for Speed ProStreet. But not as a simple HD remaster. Imagine taking everything that made the original ProStreet special, rebuilding it with modern technology, and creating the definitive version of the game: NEED FOR SPEED PROSTREET REMASTERED ProStreet was different from other Need for Speed games. It wasn't about simply driving around an open world at night. It was about building a race car, choosing your discipline, tuning it, taking risks, dealing with damage, winning events and building your reputation. That identity is exactly what I would want to see preserved. --- 🏁 1. KEEP THE HEART OF PROSTREET The most important thing: Don't turn ProStreet Remastered into another open-world street-racing game. Keep the professional racing atmosphere. The core should remain: - Circuit racing - Grip - Drag - Drift - Speed Challenge - Race Days - Vehicle tuning - Performance upgrades - Damage and repairs - Rivalries - Championships - Reputation and progression The game should feel like a massive underground-to-professional racing journey. --- 🔧 2. A MUCH DEEPER TUNING SYSTEM This could be one of the biggest improvements. Let players build cars specifically for each discipline. Performance tuning Allow players to adjust things like: - Gear ratios - Tire compounds - Tire pressure - Suspension - Ride height - Springs - Dampers - Anti-roll bars - Brakes - Brake balance - Differential - Steering - Downforce - Aerodynamics - Turbo/supercharger settings - Engine upgrades And make these changes actually affect how the car behaves. A Drag build shouldn't drive like a Grip build. A Drift build shouldn't feel like a Speed Challenge build. Visual customization Bring back the classic ProStreet customization while expanding it: - Body kits - Bumpers - Hoods - Spoilers - Side skirts - Wheels - Exhausts - Paint - Vinyls - Decals - Window tint - Interior customization - Roll cages - Racing seats - Steering wheels - Gauges And please bring back Autosculpt in an upgraded form. Imagine modern Autosculpt allowing players to create completely unique bodywork. --- 💥 3. MAKE THE DAMAGE SYSTEM A MAJOR FEATURE One of ProStreet's most memorable ideas deserves a serious modern evolution. Don't make crashes purely cosmetic. A major crash should potentially affect: - Engine performance - Steering - Suspension - Brakes - Aerodynamics - Drivetrain - Bodywork And cars should need to be repaired. This could make every Race Day more meaningful. You might have a perfectly tuned car before an event... Then you push too hard, crash badly and have to decide: Do I spend my money repairing it, or risk racing again with a damaged car? That would make racing feel much more intense. --- 🏆 4. A HUGE CAREER MODE This is where I think a modern ProStreet could become something truly special. Start with a modest car. Build it. Tune it. Race it. Win money. Build your reputation. Find sponsors. Meet rivals. Upgrade your equipment. Eventually become one of the biggest names in the racing scene. Career progression could include: Street level → Local events → Regional competitions → National championships → Elite events → World-level competition And instead of simply unlocking cars, the player should gradually build an entire racing operation. --- 🏎️ 5. MULTIPLE RACING ORGANIZATIONS Imagine different teams or racing organizations specializing in different disciplines. For example: Grip teams Focused on technical circuits and cornering. Drag teams Focused on acceleration, launches and straight-line performance. Drift teams Focused on style, angle, precision and score. Speed Challenge teams Focused on extreme high-speed racing. You could develop relationships with these groups, compete against them and eventually become their biggest rival. --- 🌍 6. MORE TRACKS — BUT NO GENERIC OPEN WORLD Instead of one giant open-world map, give us a collection of high-quality racing locations. For example: - Mountain roads - Desert highways - Industrial areas - Race circuits - Airfields - Coastal roads - Forest roads - High-speed motorways - Technical circuits - Drag strips And bring back iconic ProStreet locations where possible. The focus should be quality racing environments, not simply making the map enormous. --- 🚗 7. A MASSIVE CAR LIST The car roster should combine iconic ProStreet cars with modern performance cars. I would love to see a mixture of: - Japanese tuners - American muscle - European sports cars - Modern supercars - Hypercars - Classic performance cars - Legendary Need for Speed vehicles And, most importantly: Bring back iconic cars from the original ProStreet. Seeing some of those vehicles rebuilt with modern graphics would be incredible. --- 🎮 8. DIFFERENT DRIVING STYLES Give players options. Arcade Easy to pick up and play. Pro More demanding handling and braking. Simulation-inspired More realistic vehicle behavior and tuning consequences. But don't lose the classic Need for Speed feeling. The goal shouldn't be to turn ProStreet into another hardcore simulator. It should remain accessible, fast and exciting. --- 🌐 9. MODERN ONLINE MULTIPLAYER This could make ProStreet incredibly addictive today. Online Race Days Create your own event and invite other players. Online Championships Compete through multiple races with points accumulated across the championship. Leaderboards Separate rankings for: - Grip - Drag - Drift - Speed Challenge Online Crews Create a racing organization with friends. Choose a name, logo, colors and cars. Weekly events EA could create rotating competitions with unique rewards. --- 🛠️ 10. CUSTOM RACE DAY CREATOR One feature I would absolutely love: Create your own Race Day. Choose: - Track - Discipline - Number of races - Weather - Time of day - AI difficulty - Car class - Performance restrictions - Damage settings - Rewards Then share the event online. Imagine the community creating its own championships. --- 🌧️ 11. WEATHER AND TIME OF DAY Modern technology could make the racing atmosphere incredible. Include: - Clear weather - Rain - Heavy rain - Fog - Storms - Sunset - Night racing - Sunrise And make weather affect the cars. Wet conditions should change braking distances, grip and vehicle behavior. --- 🎵 12. KEEP THE PROSTREET ATMOSPHERE This is extremely important. Don't erase the identity of the original game. Bring back the feeling of: Race Days. Crowds. Announcements. Sponsors. Competitors. Tension. Engines. Tires. Burnouts. The sound of a car being pushed to its limit. And, if licensing allows it, bring back as much of the original soundtrack as possible. A modern soundtrack could be added alongside it. --- 📸 13. PHOTO MODE AND REPLAYS Give players a powerful photo mode. Allow: - Camera control - Lens effects - Depth of field - Motion blur - Weather control - Time-of-day control - Decal visibility - Cinematic replay cameras And let us save complete race replays. ProStreet cars deserve to be shown off. --- 🏁 14. THE ULTIMATE RACE DAY The final goal of the career could be an enormous championship. A multi-discipline event combining: Grip → Drag → Drift → Speed Challenge Your car, your tuning decisions and everything you've learned throughout the career would finally be put to the test. That would be an amazing way to finish the game. --- 🎨 15. DON'T FORGET THE ORIGINAL STYLE Please don't make everything ultra-serious and generic. ProStreet had personality. Keep the aggressive visual style. Keep the dramatic presentation. Keep the feeling that every event matters. Make the game modern without removing its identity. --- ❤️ WHY I THINK THIS COULD WORK Need for Speed has experimented with many different identities throughout its history. Open-world street racing. Police chases. Illegal racing. Customization. Story-driven experiences. But ProStreet represented something different: organized competitive racing. And I believe there is still a huge amount of potential in that concept. A ProStreet Remastered could appeal to: - Fans of the original game - New Need for Speed players - Car enthusiasts - Tuning fans - Competitive racing fans - Players who want something different from another open-world game It could even become its own branch of Need for Speed. --- 🔥 MY DREAM PROSTREET Imagine this: You start with a cheap car. You choose your first discipline. You buy your first performance parts. You tune the suspension. You install better tires. You build your first serious engine. You enter your first Race Day. You make mistakes. You crash. You repair the car. You improve it. You meet rivals. You earn sponsors. You build your reputation. You eventually have multiple cars, each built for a specific discipline. Then you enter the biggest Race Day of your career. And when the lights go green... everything you've built comes down to one race. That's the ProStreet experience I would love to see brought back. --- 🙏 EA, PLEASE CONSIDER IT I'm not asking you to simply recreate a game from 2007. I'm asking you to look at what ProStreet was trying to do and ask: “What could ProStreet become with today's technology?” Take the original concept. Keep its identity. Improve its weaknesses. Expand its strengths. Give it modern graphics, physics, tuning, damage, multiplayer and community features. And create something that feels like ProStreet — evolved. Because sometimes the best way forward isn't to forget the past. Sometimes it's to bring back the best ideas and give them another chance. EA, bring back ProStreet. Bring back the Race Days. Bring back the competition. Let us build our cars again. See you at the starting line. 🏁 — A passionate Need for Speed fan
Need for speed most wanted 2012 remastered
Dear Andrew Wilson and the Electronic Arts team, I have been a longtime fan of the Need for Speed series, and I wanted to share how much Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) still means to so many players. The game had an incredible open world, exciting police pursuits, fun multiplayer, and a unique progression system that made it stand out from other racing games. Even years later, many fans continue to play it and talk about it online because it captured something special. I respectfully ask EA and Criterion Games to consider creating a remaster for modern platforms such as Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Improved graphics, higher frame rates, cross-play, and quality-of-life updates while preserving the original gameplay would be a dream come true for many fans. Thank you for continuing to create great racing games and for listening to your community. I hope you’ll consider bringing Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) back for a new generation of players. Sincerely, A devoted Need for Speed fanThe Legacy Of The Need For Speed (Suggestion)

WE WANT A HISTORIC RETURN TO NFS! TAKE THE LEADERSHIP FROM FORZA!
Need for Speed: Legends (My Dream NFS Concept) Hello EA and Need for Speed developers, I have been a Need for Speed fan for many years. I believe the series doesn't need another short game. It needs one unforgettable game that brings back the spirit of Underground, Most Wanted and Carbon while creating something completely new. The Main Idea The player works for a wealthy car collector whose dream is to build the greatest collection of legendary street racing cars. Instead of buying legendary cars from a dealership, every iconic car should have its own story, challenges and unforgettable missions. Chapter 1 – Underground A modern and much larger version of the Underground 2 city. Night racing only. 10 rival racers. The final boss owns Rachel's Nissan 350Z. After defeating the final racer, he refuses to give you the car. Your crew plans a secret night operation to steal the 350Z from his garage. The mission ends with a long cinematic escape. Police are present but not very aggressive because they are busy dealing with larger crimes. Chapter 2 – Most Wanted A completely rebuilt and much larger Rockport. A new Blacklist. Sprint races. Circuit races. Speed challenges. Much harder police pursuits than Most Wanted (2005). Roadblocks, helicopters, Rhino SUVs, spike strips and destructible environments should all return. The final reward is the legendary BMW M3 GTR. Chapter 3 – Tokyo A large Tokyo-inspired map focused on drifting. Players collect legendary Fast & Furious style cars through story missions. Toyota Supra Nissan Skyline GT-R Dodge Charger Nissan Silvia Mazda RX-7 Drifting becomes the main gameplay with lighter police presence. Legends Garage After completing the story, the player unlocks a special Legends Garage. Every iconic car collected throughout the journey is displayed in its own dedicated place. Looking at the garage should remind players of every mission, every challenge and every victory. Customization More than 200 licensed cars. A huge customization system for regular cars. Iconic cars should never be sold in dealerships or the in-game market. Players should never be able to simply buy a normal BMW, Nissan or other car and turn it into a legendary vehicle. Every legendary car should be unique and obtainable only through its own story, missions and challenges. That uniqueness is what made those cars legendary in the first place. Sound Every engine and exhaust should have authentic recordings from real vehicles. Every car should have its own unique sound and personality. Police The police should feel dangerous again. Bring back: Heavy roadblocks Rhino SUVs Helicopters Spike strips Long cinematic pursuits Destructible environments like Most Wanted (2005) Escaping the police should feel like a real achievement. Final Need for Speed should bring back the feeling of earning legendary cars instead of buying them. Every iconic vehicle should be a unique reward connected to an unforgettable story. That is what made the classic Need for Speed games special, and it is the feeling many fans want to experience again.
NFS 2015 PC - Nazi wraps closed as "opinion" - Case 250511262
Hi everyone, and hopefully some Community Manager can read this. I am writing here because the automated support loop is completely failing to handle a severe violation of EA’s Positive Play Charter. A couple of days ago, I reported two custom liveries shared in the community wrap section of Need for Speed Most Wanted 2015 on PC that feature explicit Nazi iconography (large swastikas, SS runes, 'White Power' and 'Heil **bleep**' slogans, and blatant antisemitic slurs). I provided clear screenshots of the vehicles and the creators' nicknames. Today, I received an automated email stating that EA decided not to take action because "a single comment in a conversation more broad (or an opinion sharply different from yours) might not represent a violation". Treating literal Nazi propaganda and antisemitism as a mere "different opinion" is a massive logical and ethical failure of your automated moderation system. The system closed my report (Case ID: 250511262) without an actual human ever looking at the evidence. I am not posting the screenshots here publicly to avoid violating forum rules regarding offensive content. However, I have them ready. Could a Community Manager please contact me via Private Message so I can send the uncensored evidence directly to a human being? These accounts need a manual review and an immediate ban. Thank you.

NFSMW audio stopped working
NFSMW (2012) When playing a multiplayer- friends game Player voices cannot be heard. All game sounds are Ok, just the conversations between players that cannot be heard. This started about two weeks ago. There is a setting to "unmute" players but it cannot be changed. There were no windows 11 updates at that time. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions to fix.? Thanks..Need For Speed Payback - Daily Challenges unavailable for almost a month (Xbox)
Hello, I've been experiencing a long-standing issue with Daily Challenges in Need for Speed Payback on Xbox. For almost a month (since early June 2026), when I go to Challenges, it says "Challenges are unavailable, please try again later". I cannot access or complete any daily challenges. AllDrive and Ranked Speedlists work fine (I can play with other players). Autolog recommendations also work. The achievement "A Daily a Day" is stuck because of this. This issue has been reported by many players before, but it seems to be happening again on a large scale. Platform: Xbox Game Version: Latest Please investigate and fix the Daily Challenges server-side issue. Thank you.Need For Speed Rivals Feedback And Hopes
Need for speed rivals have probably been the best need for speed game ever made. It’s atmosphere, the rain particles, its overall mood creates the best feeling ever when playing this game. It’s AI cops are relentless making it engaging and fun to play which requires skill. Its map is also perfect with the landscape is all perfect while the ui from the menu is also perfect. The overall looks of this game is amazing and nothing greatly unrealistic. The freedom you get in this game is incredible compared to the other NFS games as well. You get choices between Cop and Racer, clean open world compared to NFS hot pursuit remastered and has a designated Cop mode with specialized tech like EMP’s compared to all other need for speed games. So my overall feedback is to update the game a little, although servers have been shut down, there has been a great, loyal fan based specifically for this game, with many such as myself asking for a remastered version (such as NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered) with better gameplay while keeping its great atmosphere intact. Its overall gameplay and atmosphere should be studied and placed into newer NFS games especially its unique features and designs ranging from the ui and atmosphere of its dark tone to its overall aesthetic gameplay from dynamic weather and great graphics for a very old game, better than most NFS games as newer games don’t have dynamic weather like NFS most wanted. Each game has its drawbacks in my opinion, from my eyes, every new NFS game should look up towards rivals and take inspiration from it. It has gotten play station hits, great awards like the 15 best of awards and more. It’s a great game see being slowly destroyed despite its great success and achievements. Below I will list some bad things about the newer NFS games and compare them to Rivals and finish with a way to help this fan base. NFS hot pursuit: Career is event based rather than open world progression. Free driving is available but more focused on selecting events. Older graphics and less advanced weather. Less exploration as it has more polished pursuit mechanics. NFS heat: Cannot play as police No pursuit gadgets like EMPs More focused on street racing and car customization. Day and night system rather than Rivals dynamic weather/atmosphere. NFS Unbound: No playable police Anime style visual effects rather than Rivals clean effects Brighter urban setting Overly focused on customization and style NFS most wanted: No police as usual No weather system like rivals Older graphics No pursuit technology NFS payback: Police limited to story missions rather than constantly roaming. Desert environment rather than forest and coastline. More story focused NFS: No playable police. Police less threatening Focus on tuning cars rather then exotic cars. Entirely at night. Now I know there are more NFS games out there to talk about but writing this much was enough. Now for the big reason why I’m writing this: I have been playing the game since it came out and it was a big part of my life during the ages 5-10. I used to play this game constantly and consistently on my ps4 during this time but after getting newer games like Minecraft during that time I stopped playing for a bit. But of course I started playing again. But I was shocked to see such a good game being cut off from online services like multiplayer. Although I understand it has a large cost to people playing ratio, that isn’t my point. My point is that my Disc is very damaged so I was looking into other NFS games to play similar to rivals but they each have their differences. Each doesn’t give the same vibe as rivals no matter how similar there is a difference but I understand Ea can’t create the exact same game again and again but it has been years. My idea was to ask for either newer NFS games to be way more similar to rivals (like very very similar) or to release a remastered version. There is still a Rivals community out there with a loyal fan base as stated before but such a perfect game shouldn’t be left unnoticed. The game in my eyes is the holy grail of NFS. Each game should look up to it and take inspiration from its unique design and gameplay. Overall, I suggest a remastered version of NFS rivals coming back into production and sold world wide. Its awards demonstrate its greatness and perfectionism in its craft. By updating newer console features such as on the ps5 by adding ray-tracing, 4k graphics, 120hz gameplay or anything else would make the game vastly better. By updating car controls to a more realistic level or legacy versions also would be even better with even more freedom to the game with AI aggression control which can be changed by the user in the settings or by making it even more focused on its great atmosphere. Another suggestion is to create newer NFS games to a more similar approach and format to Rivals. Its graphics are better than most modern games and just perfect overall. It has the best atmosphere I have ever seen and the best map of course. I will soon be buying a new disc for rivals so I can play again on either my ps5 or ps4 I will have to choose but I really hope such a great game doesn’t go unnoticed and is taken into account for future production of newer NFS projects, and of course I hope for a remastered version 😉.NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered - fails to launch
