EA Games has completely buried the Need for Speed series by breaking the core driving physics and turning the visual style into something cartoonish and disconnected from real street racing. What was once a serious and immersive street racing game has devolved into a shallow arcade with unrealistic car behavior. Instead of constantly reinventing the wheel, EA should return to the proven concepts that players love: – the night racing atmosphere from NFS Underground, – the intense police chases from Most Wanted, – and the official race events from ProStreet — all combined into one game with realistic, predictable car physics and modern visuals. The core problem is that the current physics feel broken and unconvincing — cars don’t behave like real vehicles, but more like toy models. For example, performing a 360° spin at full speed using the handbrake is completely impossible — instead of smoothly rotating, the car freezes in place. This is just one example of how the physics fail to deliver a believable driving experience. Players want a physics system that feels real, responsive, and predictable — where cars react logically and skilled driving is rewarded. This is the real formula for success and strong sales. Everything needed is already there — no need to chase trends or add shallow gimmicks. Bring back the classic gameplay mechanics and concepts that made NFS great, enhancing them with modern graphics and proper, realistic driving physics.
Thoughts on Need for Speed games coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 system?
I believe an NFS game would be fantastic to have on Switch 2. The only game available on modern Nintendo platforms is Hot Pursuit Remastered, but unfortunately it hasn’t been updated for the Switch 2’s more powerful hardware. Seeing a performance patch for Switch 2 would give me a reason to pick the game up again.

it would load up a black screen, and then just close. Takes me back to the EA app or Steam. The only difference I changed is a new monitor. Already tried reinstalling. Updated drivers, cleaned cache. Windows 11 RTX 5090 AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 64 gbs Ram
Forgotten N4S
I’ve been playing Need for Speed since Porsche Unleashed when I was around 8 years old. I’m deeply frustrated with the NFS community’s bias. Every Need for Speed game I’ve played offers a distinct and unique playstyle, atmosphere, and theme. My disappointment stems from how blindly the community clings to Most Wanted—an amazing game, no doubt—but they demand every subsequent title to replicate it exactly. This unrealistic expectation leads to unfair negativity toward newer entries, which are constantly compared to their idealized version of Most Wanted. As a result, many later games in the franchise aren’t given a fair chance to shine on their own merits. To be fair, I’ve played nearly every racing game out there, and I appreciate them for their unique styles. The reason I’m writing this is because I fear we’ll never see sequels like ProStreet 2 or The Run 2, a Carbon remaster, or even a modern remaster/sequel for Shift. These titles deserve recognition, but the community’s narrow focus on nostalgia overshadows their potential. It’s disheartening to see such a creative franchise limited by fans’ unwillingness to embrace change.
