NFS Shift get's first patch.

I don't have any crashes but mine would lag a bit when i break to go around a corner some times its very irritating

a step in the right direction for me is that they are actually "sortof" listening to fans, incorporating Lan and enabling mouse have been reqeusted on the forums.

Now they need to fix the distortion from some of the cars, and I wish they could add some more generic races but increase the difficulty cause it sucks that you dont get to drive your cars and tune them that long, as you get so much money you can just buy new and better cars after each race.

Yep - NFS: Most Wanted & Underground 1/2 were prime examples of tuning cars and getting them fully pimped.

My boet always used to pimp out the merc CLK in most wanted because it was quasi-fast but could take out road blocks like a steamroller!

As for releasing a game before it was properly finished. Two prime examples are:

The witcher - bugs galore
KOTOR II - ending was rushed into an ad-hoc story finish.

Ironically - both of these are in my top 3 all-time-awesome-games list.
