I don't know much about marketing, but perhaps you are right in that a season concept that evolves the game us best left to a future release
Regarding the micro transaction element, that would be critical to the viability of a season based version of NFS. But IMO it doesn't have to be pay to win.
Fortnite makes money through selling cosmetic upgrades that don't give players an advantage. They just look cool, and provide the players a way to create unique avatars.
NFS could do something similar, leaving the actual race mechanics as they are. They are already doing something along these lines by selling customised versions of certain cars alongside each new volume.
Hopefully this model can be enhanced if it has proven to be commercially viable

@Thump3r_77 If Need for Speed does basic customization Items as Time Limited Individual purchases I will lose interest in the franchise as a whole (I don't mind packs that you can buy at any time)
I know it is a business model that works but I'd hate to make minimal purchases that stack up way more than just buying full packs without things being limited time
We're already paying for a full game and a vital part of the NFS experience is the customization alone, if locking Neons and Airbags already caused an uproar to fans in Payback, I can't even imagine individual customization parts being sold separately being a popular with prior fans
Modern consumers I guess would bite, but it'd be like commiting treason to the rest of the existing community
