EA's new Need for Speed wasn't launched in the best of states. However, the studio is working to fix some big issues players have complained about by releasing a lot of highly requested content in its upcoming patch. These changes are expected to bring a lot of improvements to the game.
The update is dubbed Showcase and has been dated for a February 3 release. It includes a new photo mode called Snapshot Pro, which allows you to frame and take your own screenshots in the game using an in-game tool and share what you take with others or save them to download.
