Need For Speed The Run Multiplayer - My last six Multiplayer races before servers shut down
53My last six Multiplayer races before Multiplayer servers got permanently shut down.
I was throwing in two of them because I wanted to get my fifth Choker award (Finishing last after finishing first place in the previous race), but the game just won't give that award for me to unlock profile icon for getting 5x Choker awards. -_-
The Multiplayer servers permanently shut down on August 31, 2021 at 8 pm EDT (September 1, 2021 at 0:00 UTC).
I had played NFS The Run briefly from November 15, 2011 to some time in early 2012. Afterwards, I had dropped it to focus on NFS World.
On May 31, 2021, EA announced NFS Carbon, NFS Undercover, NFS Shift 1, NFS Shift 2 Unleashed, and NFS The Run would be delisted for purchase to prepare for the online Multiplayer servers of these NFS games to permanently shut down on August 31, 2021. (This was a similar case with NFS World back in 2015 when EA disabled the ability to purchase Speedboost as well as making new accounts when they announced NFS World is permanently shutting down)
With only three months of life for NFS The Run's online Multiplayer servers, it was now or never to unlock cars that can only be unlocked upon playing the game in Multiplayer only.
Cars that can only be unlocked with the Autolog Recommendations are already impossible to unlock when EA permanently shut down the Need For Speed network on March 18, 2018.
This is one of the biggest problems with NFS The Run. So many cars are only unlockable via Multiplayer functions like Multiplayer itself and Autolog Recommendations. Once both of these are permanently shut down, a lot of cars are permanently inaccessible.

It's gonna take a very long time for someone to bring back NFS The Run's Multiplayer functionality (or if it's even possible to bring it back). So I gotta enjoy NFS The Run's Multiplayer while it lasts.
NFS The Run is not as popular as NFS World, so it'll take even longer when it just doesn't have that kind of popularity.
