I'm a big need for speed underground fan and this news are amazing… But EA track record with the last few NFS games, kind of makes me worry. The last game I properly enjoyed was the original most wanted and that was on the ps2 😭.

I will never forget the time my friends and I were (individually) buying tickets to see The Fast and the Furious in a theater, and one of them said he wanted a ticket for Need For Speed, forgetting the actual movie name 🤣

Hoping for the best but the last few or so I really couldn’t get into. Last ones I did like were Most Wanted (2012) & Rivals so it’s been awhile.

The last entry i played before NFS heat was NFS carbon. And i liked the game a lot. Just the gameplay felt weird. I can't get used to this unpleasent way my car went around corners. I hope they change this and actually make something like the canyons in Carbon.
