Now the NFS series are my most favored racing games of all time. (That and cruisin world) Since mostwanted, games like carbon, prostreet, and now underground, are not fullfilling the classics. What are you takes about this problem/thing.

Is English your second language? If so I excuse your poor attempts at constructing a readable paragraph. If not, please go back to school.

The problem is that devs think that we'll buy the same games over and over without much progression in the series. If EA took 2 years to make a new Need For Speed I would think their sales would be dramatically higher. In between maybe they can add some DLC if they are strapped for cash.

Off topic, I understood what he said.

I guess, idk. Just answer the question is all.

Well sorry if I came off as an ass earlier.

The problem with the NFS series is it is like the Madden series...small updates over sweeping changes. I think the last one I played was Most Wanted actually.

You're good. But yeah I was just roaming around the main page when I seen the score IGN gave undercover. I'm thinking devs like them, are trying to to put new items in am game that usually don't fit it. I guess like they said in the comments that, developers think that as long as a game has NFS on it, it will sell. Most wanted was nice especially when you reached level 5, and and you had cops and helicopters hitting you trying to knock you off course.
