Custom and Cars are the heart of NFS? Really? If so why don't wait 9 more years to celebrate UG1 25 anniversary? Classic NFS wasn't about tuners and stories. It was a video game version Cannonball Run. And if you guys at EA refuse to accept its history. You don't deserve it. Wait until either UG1 or NFS2015 become 25 years old. If NFS can live to that day. Otherwise just stop ruining the history of NFS and shut down the series for good. Thanks.

@GK3512 Sounds like it went right over your head. The games that have sold well are the ones that involve customization and cars. Need for Speed as of currently is about that and sorry to break it to you, that wont change.

  @XGCSith Yes they sold well,but they aren't suitable to the full history of NFS.The series started without custom,and if they go back to roots like months ago's words said,then a cannonball style new NFS is the style they should do this time.

    @GK3512Except that's not what they are implying. Need for Speed, as of the last 10 years or so, have been about customization, cars and police chases. If anything, they are talking about going back to the UG/MW roots. They are not talking about a new Hot Pursuit and it wasnt explained that way. Instead cherry picking, read the whole thing.
    They said without cars and customization, Need for Speed, as we know it, doesnt exist. They are well aware of what you and two other people are saying. They also said there are many different aspects to what NFS is. They are not stupid, they are well aware of the different type of NFS games. They just arent making another Hot Pursuit, like you are hoping.
