EA, please bring back supermodels! (cover girls)

During BlackBox era, every NFS game had cover girl (mascot) - an hired supermodel. They appeared in the game and hosted real promotional EA events.

1. Sharon Alexander (Samantha) - Underground

2. Brooke Burke (Rachel) - Underground 2

3. Josie Maran (Mia) - Most Wanted

4. Emmanuelle Vaugier (Nikki) - Carbon

5. Krystal Forscutt and Sayoko Ohashi - ProStreet

6. Maggie Q - Undercover

7. Christina Hendricks and Irina Shayk - The Run

With Ghost Games take control on NFS series, they completely removed fanservice from their games. (fanservice - means character you love and dream of, like Bayonetta or Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat)

Important to note, that these girls were all strong & independent:
Rachel was mature and dominating,
Mia was brave police officer,
Nikki was helpful teammate,
Maggie Q and Christina were business women.

I ask EA to bring back hired supermodels as cover girls in NFS 2021 and future titles. NFS games isn't a place for political correctness, agenda, wokeness, MeToo etc.

It's a shame you ignore that attractive women exist, it's REAL sexism, they are proud of being sexy for self, not for someone else.

    @nissan180sx95 It's a racing game not a relationship game.Blackbox NFS had cover girls because back in early-mid 2000s hot girls are widely used dring films/shows and autoshows.Cover girls are not a must in racing games-Gran Turismo/Mario Kart/Forza all lack cover girls but still have good sales record.It's not about PC or not,it's purely unnecessary.NFS should first be a fun to play racing game than a supermodel showcase.

    Games you listed are serious realistic simulators(GT,Forza) or kids games(Mario). But no one needs NFS game without story and memorable characters

    This is strange when Apex Legends can have Loba but NFS gets censored

    Autoshows and F1 dropped girls in 2018 because of #MeToo, so we won't get girls until #MeToo ends

    @nissan180sx95 Nobody needs NFS without story.Yet EA choose to let Stellar Remaster HP2010 from 10 years ago rather than a story-focused NFS from mid 2000s.It's also worth noting the first NFS with a named character was Porsche Unleashed from 2000 while UG1 was the first story-focused NFS.Sadly that was 9 years after NFS series started.

    @nissan180sx95 

    Cover Super Models not include anymore because the game is focused on Cars and Races.

    I believe Ghost Studios wanted to bring the game back with covers that reflected Racing, not  Dream Dates.

    The provided link might fill you in as to the changes from 2007.

    Have a great day.

    You talk about 2007 when 2008 and 2011 games had girls

    This situation in 2007 was when someone posted picture of half-naked girl and Ferrari, while there no Ferrari in ProStreet. It's not related to EA or NFS
