@EA_Ataashi Really.....An article especially on story.I really miss when racing games are just games about racing not story and development of characters.Please EA regain sense,this series is called Need For Speed not Need For Story.TV series and movies already fill the need for story nowadays.Please be sensible and bring back real root of a pure race/chase NFS next time.

So what? Keeps the game interesting. Many nfs games had some type of story that didn't affect gameplay. Burnout is still good and has no story but it has its own perspective. The game is still keeping the qualities that it should. And dont compare this game to old titles. That was black box. We have Ghost games with frostbite engine. So it's best to have an open mind and not complain over something stupid such as you not caring of story.

    @hunterxx91 Heat itself cotains too much Blackbox style in it.Also before Blackbox did UG1,NFS wasn't a story-based game.The only classic era NFS with legit characters was Porsche Unleashed and that was more history based game for the exclusive deal between EA/Porsche.Before Heat was launched EA stated NFS2019 is a back to the root game.And back in 90s NFS lacked such story to push the gameplay forward like Heat did again this year.So clearly EA is doing false advertisement and Ghost is still chasing the Black Box style gameplay 16 years after story mode became a thing in NFS series.
