Yes agreed in 2003 Black Box messed up and the series did have that HP2 PS2 game and it was fun and I own that game still.
When the whole ricer idea rolled in UG1 it was a bit of stretch for me but I went along with the rest of our community and bought the game.
At first, I thought it was kinda fun but then I realized a "vortex of change".
This franchise took a turn but what kind I had no real clue at that time in that point of history.
Well by 2005 When MW PS2 came out it was a huge hit and it a fun game and ricercars was all over that game too.
Then we got Carbon PS2 and I did enjoy it for what it was but man it was a short storyline & more of the same themes from 2005 in 2006.
Once the storyline was all done in Carbon it became a Ghost City with nothing to do but drive around.
Now touching on a few critical point I want to add as to why this franchise is not moving in the right direction for the future.
I looked at all the studios that EA has it's hands-on and just looking at the historical record I believe we can conclude it all turns to sour grapes!

Here is a list of all current game studios EA has in their clutches to turn profits for them 2020.
Then I clicked on Criterion Studios and look at that they have NFS Heat showcasing.
I got this page when I clicked on racing games.

Now follow the money of EA here because really all this comes down to fiscal dollars and regaurdless
the studio's EA should be held accountable for the breakdown of this NFS Franchise.

Consider all this info as to why NFS has really failed to deliver over the Years since EA failed to deliver a budget that works for the Devs to build a high-end game!
So I implore the community to do their homework and not be followers of any EA game unless it meets community high-end standards day one of release!
Brother all your points are right but EA is the bottom line cause of this franchise taking the wrong direction & why some of their studios have failed over the years.
I did XP you because I agree but felt the need to add some more info here to discuss.
Feel free my friend to comment back on the info I posted.
I'd like to read your feedback as I do enjoy your commentary in these threads.
I know you understand like I do the value of good communication and facts and not fluff.
Take care always and have a great day Brother.

@GK3512Agree man the biggest reason why i hate EA, is because they dont care about their oldest fans like me you and BLVD69 etc. But yeah biggest mistake EA made was firing EA Canada, after that they started rushing games. So i cant say im positive about NFS future, i think the series is dommed too die.
