What happened to NFS?

I understand where you are coming from. I used a Gameshark disc on my PS2, in the past, to unlock all the cars on some of those games. However, NFS games (UG, UG2, MW, C, PS, UC, ect.) were based on the principle of working your way up from nothing. I do enjoy the feeling of actually completing the game in a legit way. You don't need to hate the game for this, but I am one of those people that still believes that people sould be allowed to speak their mind. And who cares if people hate what I wrote.

Thank you if you read the whole thing. 🙂

Rivals is the standpoint when it comes to hardest NFS games games. No ability to pause,  vicious cops,  sometimes you might not have enough SP to buy a car you JUST unlocked...hey wait...I think I know NFS Rivals' true story. 

Racer: You are thrown into an alternitive dimension where everyone hates you. The keepers of the dimension are the COPS, who are Crazily Obsessed with Pursuing and Stalking. You can't stop time *pause* in the dimension, so you are forced to live there. The only place you can hide is your Hideout, where you are protected from the COPS. You will sometimes not end up with enough money to buy the next car you can use to run from the COPS.

Cop: You are one of the Keepers of the Hateful Dimension. You must pursue and hunt down all people who are running from you. First, you stalk them to freak them out, then you call in assistance, then you DESTROY THEM, with awfuly bloddy results...They get ther Stalkers *that's what I call police cars* for free, so they can infinitley overpower and torture thier victims...

I can't understand how anyone could think that Rivals is the hardest NFS. There are NFS games with way worse rubber-band AI.

It is not hard at all. Maybe other players are better than you, but you can set the matchmaking to singleplayer, so they won't bother you. And the AI is not very intelligent.

I've seen people on youtube completing an Interceptor as a racer in less than a second, because the game is so easy to exploit. I do not exploit design weaknesses or bugs myself, but other people do it with great success.

There is an easy (and boring) way to farm speedpoints as a racer. The game can even be considered "broken" in some parts.

Later in the game, the Racer AI starts using pursuit tech, and once you reach Heat level 10, you will never be safe again...until you reach your hideout..if you can even get there without losing 100,000 speedpoints by getting obliterated by cops! I completed most of the NFS games anyway. The only reason I did'nt like Underground and Underground 2 was: OH MY GOD?!?!!? REALLY?!!?!? Corollas? MX-5s? S2000s??? This isn't NFS, this is Ultimate Ricer Racing!

The sad thing is when MW 2012 came out all the UG2 fanboys started to say: WHERES TEH CUSTEMEZATION, BREH?! I WANNA MAKE A  FIAT 500 with UH REEEEEEEEELY HIIIIIIIIIIGH WING AND UH HOOOOUUUGE BUMPER ON TEH FROOOOOOOOOONT!

Then people with a brain said: There wasn't even custimization in the earlier NFS games anyway. Deal with it.

Yet the fanboys still plea for an Underground 3.
