Can fake Criterion make future NFS in time?

In fake Criterion official site the dev is opening lots of positions for different kinds of devs.Currently we already know this fake Criterion already has taken over next gen NFS games' development.But with so many people required for it and so few fake Criterion actually has,I highly doubt we can see the first next-gen NFS this year or next.Since their official site states the need for vehicle handling software engineering.Which may hints a new NFS game engine that's different from Frostbite or Renderware.Without enough people/experience and a game engine for NFS.I highly doubt they can pull off next NFS before time runs out (if we keep the 2 years cycle like Ghost did before)No matter they can put out a next-gen NFS or not.I dont have much faith in this new game and new team.(Core devs of real Criterion already left EA back in 2013)

@GK3512 Criterion is still hiring important roles like QC and artwork artist.They still chase the trend of Ricer/Chav since this Criterion is a renamed Ghost which never made a good NFS in past 7 years.Currently this game is still set to be NFS2021 but it has been over half a year since the hiring start yet they still haven't get enough manpower for a AAA game in one of EA's biggest series.Just pathetic.

And yet it still fails at that too, at least for me. As you rightly said, absolutely pathetic.
I figured I'd upload a screenshot of the list, just so we've got them all here. They can all obviously be found on the Careers - Criterion page, along with their relevant details and roles/responsibilities.
It will be truly fascinating to see how botched the release will be, and how atrocious the final product will turn out! I fear it will become a case of damage limitation if they don't get their act together very soon...
