this is a big improvement from NFS Underground and Carbon but I am so confused as to how EA let this ship with sooo many obvious errors. The car bounce is ridiculous and i have lost countless races thanks to it. how could EA miss something THAT big

Large selection of REAL (note the real in all caps) tracks Large selection of REAL (especially note the real in all caps) supercars not bouncy little tuners sense of speed engine sounds upgradebility of cars real race parts and have real effects real tuning ORGANIZED TRACK RACING not street racing...

No weather No night Tries so so so very hard to be a simulator its almost bad; Roll over and car crashes are pathetic Damage effects from crashes=pathetic (you can slam into a concrete wall at 200mph and still drive on) Cars look like clumsy variable geometric shapes when they crash or attempt to...
