No new Need for Speed in 2014

After the disappointing last couple of NFS releases (the last good one being Shift 2 Unleashed in my opinion), I feel that a break could only do the series good. And speaking of listening to what fans want... Do I finally smell Underground 3 coming!?
 
This series kind of got away from me. The last one I played was Pro Street. There have been many since, but I simply can't keep up. Perhaps a break like this can improve the series so that we have games that fall in the class of the Undergrounds and Most Wanted.
 
I wouldn't get too excited. They should start by fixing NFS Rivals....A bigger time frame is great, thats what they should have been doing a long time ago.
 
If I recall, prior to Need for speed: Porsche and the Underground series the car modification options was not the draw of the game the exotic cars and location where the initial attraction.

Having said this, EA had a winning formula with Most Wanted (2005) and for some reason after that it went down hill. It was not entirely their fault, if we look at the battlefield series notably BF4 you will notice that the guns are not named after the real world counterparts they represent. This is because the cost to license all those said guns in a game would drive production costs up too high. The same can be said of the NFS series, back in 2005 it was probably much cheaper to pile in 200+ brand names into a game and see it generate a massive profit, enough to pay off the initial costs of license.

My opinion, EA should let people forget about Need For speed for a while and just leave it be. Rivals is essentially what need for speed was originally about, but they have spoiled their customers and now they demand something that they may not ever have.
