While Rivals is locked at 30 fps even at high-end PCs, you may start the game with a special start parameter to unlock "60 fps" gameplay - the game is essentially just faster now.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.

Most wanted 2012 imo was awful, on PS3 the graphics are dreadful, and the crash cam was very annoying. Rival is the worst imo, hated that game. My favourite is Hot Pursuit, great game. Also Shift 1&2 are really good.
High Stakes will always be my favorite. Great cars, great music, and you could see through the windows which was pretty mind-blowing at the time. Best of all it was ricer-free.
Lame. The list doesn't even include any of the originals. NFS 1 and NFS hot Pursuit 1998. Must be a youngster who created the list.
He clearly stated that being this was an Xbox centered site he was going to limit his list to games that released on some form of Xbox. He also stated he had been playing them since OG PLaystation, so pretty sure he's not a "youngster"
From my personal experience NFS I personally don't like.......
The Worst : Underground 2 , Carbon, Prostreets, Undercover, Porche unleashed, Nitro, NFS World, 2012 Mostwanted, Rivals, 2015 Reboot last but not least Paycrap.
Best NFS I personally like :
All ps1 NFS : HighStakes (the best) including NFS 3 Hotpursuit , ps2 Hotpursuit 2 (Excellent game ) ..Underground ( Best so far)
2005 Mostwanted ( Excellent game) Shift 1/2 (Spectacular) remind me of GT , 2010 Hotpursuit Great game but race Waaaaaaay to long in my personal opinion . Last but not least The Run . these are my favorite NFS titles .
After The Run in my personal opinion NFS went down hill fast with Open world mapping crap, always online, multiplayer crap, alldrive, drifting in every freaking corners, no gripping anymore,autolog. None of this crapfest is NFS original formula. until Ea contract Ghost Games to return the original formula back in NFS it will always be Shitty game.
For 25 years now the Need for Speed series has kept its fans glued to their seats, but what are the standout titles?
NFSU2
NFSU
NFSMW
NFS(3DO)
Those are my favorites. Anything released recently is a big steaming pile of hot garbage.
My favs in order: NFS 3 Hot Pursuit, Hot Pursuit II, Both Undergrounds, Carbon, Prostreet, Shift 2 is a masterpiece
Its just me or not only boost the 60fps, but also speed up the game to the point to look unrealistic?
Seriously? I was gonna buy this game tomorrow on Origin. I didn't know it was locked to 30 fps by default. This is a no-buy then.
THAT ISNT 60FPS, HES JUST SPED UP THE VIDEO
This is what happens when you dev games for inferior consoles and port it over to PC.
I was going to buy this on X1 anyway, but I think it was pretty dumb for EA to lock the game to 30FPS on PC. pretty dumb.
