This has probably been done but instead of crying about it all, here is my list of things which I agree all players will enjoy in the next installment that would not disappoint.
A few suggestions to make a really great Need for Speed:
- The ability to customize controller mapping completely.
- Being able to tune every car to spec which includes the options from each class instead of 1 class being able to do a few things.
- The mod system is too grindy. I would prefer being able to max my car through buying the best performance car and not spending countless hours trying to roll the best cards.
- For the love of god include the online Co-op and free roam option besides having the casual and ranked speedlists.
- Include drag racing to race types because drag racing is insane.
- Provide players with all DLC's free but never drop the price of the game that will be a game changer. GTA5 does constant updates and people love it(they make the most in the entertainment industry).
- Allow players to pull off all missions together for co-op and not just the racing bits(Runner) with each racer having to do something different to win the race.
- The ability to walk around in a car hookup area such as an abandoned warehouse (Sema Style) or Large parking buildings (Underground Street style).
- Always push new content to keep the game fresh.
- The additional visual system is cool that you need to complete daily missions and level up to achieve them.
- Add weekly and monthly missions in addition to daily missions.
- Weather could be optional but don't really care much about it.
- Bigger maps make life better (No one cares if a game is 100GB).
- The biggest one of them all make it Outlaw(streets)/Professional racing(a few in game circuits at stadiums).
Other than that, Payback is a well made game with good playability but the only reason I still play it is to dominate my friends. Other than that I play other racing games such as Horizon or Project cars because of the low playability and impossible modification system in the game. I understand it's an arcade game and people expect that from it but you guys have a really great game that everyone still loves even if they are, like me, into Sim racing.
