The way it is meant to be played

After reading all 20 reviews that people posted of this game, I have to say I am appalled. Half of the reviewers complained about things that they didn't even know what they were talking about.
"I cant restart an event after i started it"
Uhh..yea you can. Like the game explains to you early on, just stop and wait for about 5 seconds and the event resets. (helpful if you crashed early on and want to try it again)
"I hate driving all the way back to an event"
I doubt that all of you who said this only had less than 5 events left where this is even mildly felt. It is a DRIVING game people, you are supposed to DRIVE around and find all the shortcuts so you LEARN the map and don't have to stare at your mini map.
"DJ atomica is a Flaming h0m0"
Quick fix, turn off the "tips" under options and he shuts up really fast. I actually haven't heard him say anything since i silenced the tips.
"On line freeburn is a waste because I cant setup a race"
Well that's why they put in ranked or player matches! You can choose the specific event you want to do and viola, your racing/slamming/crashing all you want. Freeburn is just that. FREEDOM with up to 8 players
"They got rid of classic crashes and I want to stick a 12-gauge in my mouth"
Wow...okay well albeit the new showtime is definitely not the same as the classic set up, you have to take this whole game with a new look. The amount of randomness included in showtime is so new and fresh I'm glad they mixed it up instead of having the old style back in there.
So are you people are saying you just wanted a burnout revenge with updated graphics? You would have hammered EA for being repetitive. The game is very well rounded and includes many fun hours of online/offline play. If you are stuck in the past, then stay there and leave our new, awesome, fun, and refreshing game alone. /clap thank you ea for mixing it up.
