Electronic Arts and Ghost Game recently revealed details of the upcoming "Need for Speed" game in their recent blog post. The developers revealed what fans of the series are sure to get from the 2017 title. What more can players expect soon? The post was uploaded in the "Need for Speed" website and it discussed details about the latest game. It explained the changes players can expect since the 2015 "Need for Speed" series.

If fans of the game can still remember, the 2015 game made a lot of players and critics disappointed. One of the reasons why was because the game required an active internet connection in order to be played. This meant that when players are enjoying the game, they are not allowed to pause it anytime. So for the upcoming "Need for Speed" 2017 series, they are finally changing that.

The official website revealed that the game will now have an offline single-player option. This will allow players to finally pause their game if they have to. "When release day rolls around for the next Need for Speed, you will be able to play through a single player experience completely offline," read the blog post. "Before you ask, and we know you will, this does mean you will be able to pause the game," it added, finally confirming these options.

Aside from the ability to pause and offline playing options, the game will also have returning features. "Need for Speed" 2017 is bringing back Car Customization and Police chases.

The developers said in their official website that they are committed to bringing their best when it comes to customization, stating: "Rest assured that we're committed to customization having a home within the Need for Speed series. It's not going away and it will play as strong a role as ever as we move forward into the next game and beyond."

The police chases are also promised to be more exciting than before as the blog writes, "There's nothing more satisfying than getting into a cop chase and feeling the heat on your tail as you tear it up through the city. Cops in pursuit, racers up ahead and then out of nowhere BAM!"
