This time, EA has stepped up its game in some of the most underrated areas, mainly visuals. The addition of multiple-eye-appealing lights makes them stand out, as users can now enjoy the real-life night drive. Plus, the developers have added a little animated flair, combining reality with imagination.

Lastly, they invited one of the biggest artists in the rap industry, ASAP Rocky. EA featured the rapper in their official trailer, whilst having a dedicated feature song for the game. And once again, they confirmed the unavailability of the fan-favorite Toyota Supra in the upcoming title. While this acts as a negative impact on the user base, it indirectly keeps up the hype for the developers. But EA has its reasons for it, and in the end, they would only do things best for their game.
