1) Understeer like mad for an fwd car and oversteer at random occasions
2) the body kits have gotten uglier
3) rain every 2-3 minutes of a race is damn annoying
4) Front-Wheel-Drive Drifting
5) No police in a game based around illegal street racing
6) no crash physics
7) stupid AI
8) forced car ricing
9) SUV's instead of adding more cars
10) Most idiotic, non-sensical slang words I've ever heard in my life.
11) Most of the racers I've seen up to this point have been white. Most of the chicks on the magazines have been asian... How about mixing it up?
12) It's made by Electronic Arts who is becoming the next Microsoft
13) loading in the middle of a race... they REALLY need to fix that up. It's rediculous that a game would have this happening
14) absurdly long load times
15) too many loading screens
16) sucky soundtrack
17) 2 words... Hachi Roku
18) Providing the assumption that all street racing is done at night
19) The wet road effect is damn annoying to look at
20) It pales in comparison to Burnout 3
That's all I can come up with for now. I'm so glad I didn't pay for this one... or for any EA title that I have (aside from Fight Night 2004)
