The speeds were already reduced in the 1.6 version of the original game. It was not a change the remaster did.

You forgot to mention that the speed has been drastically slowed down in the remaster.

Thank you

Yea, they are two different games so the Ultimate Box would show up separately from the remaster.

If I have a Remastered on Steam with a link to the EA App, can I buy a key to the Ultimate box for the EA App and have 2 versions of the game in the EA App?

Thanks. Got The Ultimate Box on PC and Remastered on PS5. I have purchased this darn game so many times and so many versions of it since like the PS3 I think. :D

even after 3 years im still refusing to buy the remastered version, they shut down the servers just because they want to you to pay money to play online, which for me is complete cashgrab, and on pc launch it didnt work properly for some of my friends, EA can fuck off easily, hell even the vanity pack doesnt work anymore cuz the servers shut down..

Is it possible to sync progress from The Ultimate Box to Remastered?
