Casino NB: Enjoy Rewards Club Events and Promotions!

2 years ago, I made a post about my suggestions after playing NFS 2015 for a while. It started some good discussions within the subreddit so I thought I'd do the same for Payback.
I want to begin by saying that I did enjoy the game. It felt like an evolution from its predecessor for the most part, but I also saw some things that were not a step in the right direction. Payback is a much larger game, at the expense of spreading itself thin. The world doesn't feel as alive, or as nearly polished, and there is evidence of design and development compromises due to the 2 year time restriction to put out a new game. Certainly, there are limitations to what Ghost could've done and I can understand and appreciate that.
At the risk of starting a rabid, frothing argument about the Speed Card system, I left out suggesting an overhaul. I'm also not going to delve into the vehicle handling model. I sincerely think that Payback's handling model is greatly superior to that of NFS 2015, with some lingering issues that become more apparent on DRIFT cars. But I'll leave it to the rest of the community to provide feedback and to Ghost to use their judgment and resources to tweak it as they see fit.
I spend 90% of racing games, including NFS 2015 and Payback, in the Garage. Customizing, painting, and wrapping cars to high detail is where I find satisfaction. As this aspect of the game is what sets these last two titles apart from the rest of the genre, I wanted to provide a list of suggestions that would further improve the base game.
