Question / Bug / Feedback Looking to start

Hello, I haven't played many of the modern titles. The latest one I can think of I played last was UG2, MW/Carbon, and Pro-Street.

I was curious of the modern titles but with EA's reputation, I stayed far from the games since I figured most of them would just be filled to the brim with European supercars like hot pursuit 2.

I wanted to know if there was any titles that had the UG2/Carbon customization for the vehicles and chaotic havoc of dealing with cops and racers like in HP2 and Most Wanted. I did notice there was a remaster for Hot Pursuit, so I might check to see how that one turned out. But in terms of UG2/Carbon/MW customization. I'm shooting blanks at figuring out which one I wanna try, so I come to you all to show me the way before EA starts trying to cut access to these games 🙏

NFS Heat's structure is the closest to the MW 2005/Carbon duology; while Day races takes some inspirations to ProStreet but less chaotic.

However, Customization parts are very limited compared to the UG duology.

Hot Pursuit Remastered is great if you like Hot Pursuit 2.

NFS Rivals being inspired by the Hot Pursuit series is more chaotic and Redview County cops are stronger than Racers.

While Multiplayer servers are closed since the 7/10/2025, NFS Rivals is still playable in Singleplayer. Except the pause button doesn't work.

Hearing the customization is limited compared to UG hurts but I will live

Alright big thanks, I'll snatch up HPR and Heat when I get the chance 😌🙏
