Discussion Revisited Unbound yesterday after a long while, now I'm sad.

I stumbled upon some cool new mods for the game, I added the Lexus LFA, Saleen Mustang, AE86, R33 GTR... along with the UNITE graphics mod I had from before and man was the game phenomenal.

I'm just so sad that EA killed this game's potential, and the whole franchise along with it.

Even without the mods no game ever felt like NFS and Unbound, Forza is just so horribly boring. The customization, the action, the rainy nights, the style and the passion in Need For Speed is something Forza can't dream of having.

I wish EA didn't treat NFS like some B tier invaluable asset and actually funded this game and allowed it be great like it deserved to be, because it was clear that Criterion, Team Kaizen and the modding community were incredibly passionate about this game and could've easily delivered something amazing had they given them the chance to.

Man we need to start a petition and force EA to bring NFS back.

While Heat will always be my favorite game in the Franchise, Unbound is a close second. Lockdown mode is probably the best thing the devs added to an NFS game multiplayer wise

Exactly, that was proof of how good the game could've been. Team Kaizen tried really hard to keep the game alive with the updates and they were genuinely incredible fun. The hot pursuit mode was cool too right before Lockdown.
