@2ELI0 They way i see it i think personally after we switched from track racing too open world racing, that made multiplayer more boring if you ask me. And im not talking about the Shift games, but NFS games from 1994 up too 2002.
Those game had the most fun pvp modes etc Hot Pursuit Lap Knockout\knockout Tournament\Championship mode fighting for points and cars etc. My problem with big open world is that will be boring after a while, just take Rivals after i beated the story on both racer and cop.
I could only freeroaming escaping cops or bust racers, i got bored after a while and stopped playing permantly, the way i see it the replay value isent good enough in the long period of time, Most wanted 2012 is the only freeroam racing game that did it right with a lobby system,
