Need for Speed Paybackhas a lot of problems, but one of the biggest omissions was online free roaming lobbies. This was a feature present in the last iteration of the series, so one has to wonder why EA and Ghost Games thought it necessary to exclude it inPayback. At least that is now being rectified, though the release date is anybody’s guess.
