ProStreet, however, goes back to the track-based racing, putting the player into race after race on closed circuits, and then sending them back to a menu after each race is over. It's been years since we've seen a Need for Speed title that focused solely on track racing, with the franchise branching out into open world settings with a story, cop chases and all sorts of other things to make it stand out.
ProStreet is a game that doesn't really seem to know what it's trying to be. This obviously means that the series has had its ups and downs, and unfortunately Need for Speed ProStreet isn't one of the ups. Though the game sells incredibly well, the developer/publisher doesn't like to sit still.
EA's Need for Speed series has long been an ever-evolving franchise, one that changes up its focus, mechanics and style every couple of years.
