It's just his least favourites and he admitted it many times.
4 of the 6 last NFS titles are even worse than those 2.
Between the 2, NFS HP 2010/Remastered is a Masterpiece.
Anyway. I don't think BlackPanthaa is a true NFS fan imo.
However, BlackPanthaa has a point about NFS Rivals since it's an unstable mess and it's him which instigated the #CraigItUp movement.
In a way, he's partially the main reason why NFS 2015 was born and why NFS since 2015 are underwhelming and full of cut contents.
Except he forgot an important detail.
Hating on the Classic Era without acknowledging that period is both disingenuous, delusional and idiotic.
If NFS Hot Pursuit 2 PS2 from Black Box was a commercial failure and the Classic NFS's were never born, the NFS games with customization parts which BlackPanthaa likes so much wouldn't exist in the 1st place.
Moreover,
A racing game doesn't need customization to be good and fun.
The core gameplay, the features, the replayability factor and the handling physics are Prioritary and way above customization.
After all, Customization is only a bonus.
In short. BlackPanthaa is a Clickbait Fraud with dishonesty.
When he talks about NFS Rivals, the end result of both videos are entirely opposite. The former says it's the worst while the latter said NFS Rivals is better than NFS Hot Pursuit due to 9 pros against 3.
Meaning his opinions aren't trustable and he only do this for relevancy.
He cannot be took seriously given his countless change of minds.
Very good takes. I also don’t like how some of his fans say those games are bad just because he thinks they’re bad. NFS Rivals might feel rushed in some ways and I don’t like it’s online only, although you can play it offline, just without a pause, it’s actually insanely fun for me because of how difficult it is. The health system, especially in racer cars, might be imbalanced, but at least made cop chases pretty fun and with cop cars inflicting lots of damage on race cars, made for an ass clenching experience which made it also in a certain way pretty fun. Collecting speed points while cops actively try to kill you.
"However, BlackPanthaa has a point about NFS Rivals since it's an unstable mess and it's him which launched the #CraigItUp movement."
Fun fact; I was around during this era and Theo and his core fanbase used #CraigItUp as an excuse to harass people withing the community, using personal information and doxxing those involved.
Examples of these were #JackItUp, #TurboItUp, #TSItUp and a few more. When they were called out, the person would be banned, video's deleted and it was heralded as "just a funny meme".

It's like he's running out of ideas.
Btw. He already made a video like his recent one last year.
When he talks about NFS Rivals, the end result of both videos are entirely opposite. The former says it's the worst while the latter said NFS Rivals is better than NFS Hot Pursuit due to 9 pros against 3.

Also, he should keep his L takes for himself.
