14 DAY TRIAL // Without a doubt, Electronic Arts' Need For Speed series is one of the most popular racing franchises, which has been giving gamers fast thrills since 1997, when the first game was unveiled. The franchise has become very popular and successful, prompting EA to schedule yearly releases, in order to satisfy the fans' demand and to make a big profit.
The latest installment in the series, NFS Undercover, promised to bring back the franchise to its roots, after the unfortunate ProStreet title, which didn't manage to become very popular.
This new game is pretty decent, as revealed by our review, but does not really shine when it comes down to a lot of aspects. The most annoying fact is that the game has quite a lot of glitches and, on a pretty high-end PC, one experiences a lot of freezes during the races.
However, now it seems that this will change soon, as the team from EA Black Box, the studio behind this game, will release a patch soon. Although no other things have been revealed, the team wants to assure fans that the problems encountered by them will be fixed, and that a great experience will be delivered to them.
“We wanted to let everyone know that the game team is currently hard at work developing a patch for Undercover for PS3, 360, and PC. We've spent a lot of time reviewing all the feedback from the community. Thank you! At this point we don't have a confirmed release date or fix list, but we thought it was important to let everyone know that a patch is in progress. As soon as we've got more news we'll let everyone know,” the official press release reads.
All in all, quite some interesting things, which are sure to make a lot of NFS fans out there very happy and anxious for this patch to be released. The racing franchise is very popular, nevertheless enthusiastic players are beginning to move away from it, and such problems can only drive away other people as well.
