Need for Speed: Undercover

Developer: EA Black Box

Publisher: Electronic Arts

Series: Need for Speed

Release year: 2009 (Black Box didn't deserve this one-game-every-year torture)

If the game didn't abuse the bloom effect and had a better story (with 2D animated cutscenes provided by Madhouse or Bones instead of live-action ones if EA could afford it, and the originally planned story branch system), map, and pursuit system. Tri-City Bay may be redesigned in a way that the areas are fairly close to each other, with a lot more traffic to make the city feel alive. Also, for the first time in the series, the game may include a proper day-and-night cycle similar to Midnight Club: Los Angeles and Burnout: Paradise, which were supposed to be competitor games (even though EA also published the latter), as well as a weather system. Outrun races will be supplementary similar to Underground 2 and the pursuit challenges will be integrated much like Most Wanted.

Customization may be improved with NFSC-style customization, albeit more advanced. You can not only mix and match different Autosculpt bumpers, but you can also autosculpt different zones on one of 4-6 wide-body kits.

## Player cars

In addition to the tiering system, the classification system from Carbon will return, with two new classes from the Prima Guide being introduced; Sport and Super.

## Police cars

This version of NFSUC will still retain the classic heat level system present in previous titles, so you don't have to worry about Porsche police cars getting all over you. Every car may be driveable to the point that you can use them in career mode, (however, they can't be used in races and certain Jobs) where you can do You're The Cop-style side missions. Furthermore, driving a police car won't provoke a pursuit from the police unless you bump into them.
