New need for Speed Game

Dear EA and Criterion Team,

With the recent news about Criterion shifting focus to the next Battlefield, I want to share some honest feedback from the racing community. While I completely understand that Battlefield is a massive and important project for EA, it feels incredibly unfair that a legendary franchise like Need for Speed has to suffer because of it. For me and many others, NFS remains one of the absolute best racing games on the market, and putting it on ice is a huge disappointment. Both NFS Heat and NFS Unbound proved how much life and potential this series still has.

We understand that EA has big plans for Battlefield, but Need for Speed shouldn't be cast aside or put on hold for years because of it. The passion for arcade street racing is huge, and the foundation built by Heat and Unbound is incredible.

Please don't let this iconic series fade into the background... We need a true successor that takes the best elements of the last two games and brings us the next generation of street racing.

Thank you for your hard work and for listening to the racing community.
