Looks like EA is trying to get back to what the game was always about Racing and not driving mini games. On the other hand what can you do with the series now as it is so stale that anything like below is better than the last ummm 3 games. Maybe a newer newer direction is needed (though this game below sounds pretty good) like NFS: Go Kart Mania or NFS: My Go-Kart Coach or NFS: Horsey’s Delight.
