Ryan Cooper... the day has come.

how do you know? Please one proof and I will shut up

Finally you guys make sense! :'D
I'm so proud!

But that makes no sense about cross in carbon. Just think, you are driving straight to Palmont. Cross rage quited the RPD first. That means that Cross was faster than the M3 GTR and entered the Palmont first. He became buddies with Darius and then catched M3 GTR. This is all fucked up. Because you like had to drive one week from Rockport to Palmont. But in NFSW it just takes a minute.
I dont know i am drunk :]

Sorry for bringing up this old thing


But here's my view on it.

U and U2 - Same Character
MW and C - (New) Same Character
Pro Street - New Character
Undercover - New Character




1st, Anything that mentions a relation to a previous title or character is just an easter egg IMO it's just too obvious and random in process.

Underground and Underground 2 have the same character.

You're a dreamer and wanna climb up in the street racing scene, you beat the Eastsiderz and Eddie just reached the #1 spot.Someone sees a problem in you and takes you down.Some months later you fly to Bayview to get back to life.You take business there and take down Caleb, the guy who made you crash your car.You're the King of the underground and celebrate...END

# Most Wanted and Carbon have a new character.

You're in Palmont, you have no car and Darius gives you the keys for a supra in a race against three other guys.At the finish line cops take out the three cars with EMP weapons, more cops arrive.You're on your own, suddenly someone opens an alley you drive thru and blocks it with his car again.You getaway out of the city.

Weeks, Months, Years? later you arrive in Rockport with a new car and get it to take down the Blacklist 15, in a race you lose your car and want revenge, after you beat every rival you're told to escape and leave the city jumping over an old bridge.

Weeks, Months? later you find yourself in the canyons, a sign Palmont City - Flashbacks.Suddenly Cross, the former Sergeant of the RPD appears behind you and wants to take you down...revenge that he got suspended because of you.You figure out that he's well known in Palmont and patrolin in PC for awhile / I skip this.....

You get informed that things have changed, the city is divided in territories owned by four major crews, the bosses are the rivals from back then.

After you took over the city, Darius tells you one last thing and then leaves the city.

END

Pro Street is a new game with a new story new characters, telling the story of an former street racer who's trying the big deal in the pro racing scene...Im they just needed some background story for the newbie racer, also if the character was from before you had enough cash to afford better cars, in fact you owned new cars...also Ryan Cooper is too skinny, the character in MW/C was taller and had a more thletic appearance and wore more stylish clothes (cut scenes, busted scenes)

I also think the cop chat in Undercover is just an easter egg...nothing special, just like the CARBON license plate chat in Pro Street, an easter egg.

I doubt this big time.

Which wiki do you mean? The nfs wikia page or wikipedia.

However, the problem is there's no straight and clear fact that could tell the character from UG to Carbon is the same.And I wouldn't count on all articles, it says somewhere Ryan Cooper is the player from U to Undercover...they can only get as much as info as we can get, I even had big discussions about the MCO page why it was totally wrong, it took awhile until the admin realized that he was wrong and my edit were correct, god damn I played the game and he didn't...and I really can't get why the rules force you to write in british english, that rule has no sense to me, he delete changes until they were in BE and/or he changed words to BE...

whatever.

U and U2 show that their character is the same.So does MW and Carbon with their character, but U/U2 with MW/C connection is hard to tell...

If the Carbon flashbacks show the time before Underground, why the player had no car if he escaped with a car from Palmont.You also seemed to have great racing experience in carbon but in U you were a total newcomer.In flashbacks scene that cop who opens the alley has a Chrysler which I believe was build since 2005.

Yaaa, I filled the Underground wiki with some info and photos of the concept arts for the districts years ago...he deleted these a month ago saying they are not NFS related LOL then I look at how much crap there's written on some pages I really wonder...he even wants sources on the most obvious things...like century square = times square he wanted a photo of it...


agree on the BMW, that one definitely was a promotion thing or alike as this car is not available for purchase in its form.

But in Carbon, could be just random or the release date could be important...hard to tell how much sense the directors used lol

Yeah, the player was definitely gone for awhile, months or years...whatever the time was, it doesn't automatically give the keys that he been in U and U2...he could just been gone for a long time somewhere, just like its sure he wasn't heading straight to Palmont as Cross was there doing his bountyhunter biz already, has dreadlocks etc...in MW he had a very short afro, means there must be couple of months (f not even a year+) between Rockport escape and palmont arriving...I know a friend of mine had a dread locks (like sean paul or basically how you get it done when you gone on vacation or a barber who does that) he had to let his hair grow awhile, my sister and couple of girls from our clique also had that couple of times, it was a trend years back.

Thanks.

OffT: Yeah, that's why I'm pretty much done their, whatever I write, it's not right...cause when I add sources he's like not allowed to link to their pages and then I don't do he's like give me sources (and deletes the page edits).

Yeah, it also takes like 2-3 days to cross the whole country with a car and the player definitely needed sleep and breaks so the one day theory is not even realistic.

I think in the intro it even says 3 months ago (or 3 weeks ago??) arriving in Rockport, so basically until you raced against #15 (Razor) it was a long way to the racing scene.

About the phrase by Rog

I see two possibilities their:

1. It is related to Underground e.g. Easter Egg
2. The phrase sounds to me like he basically says look what's coming out of nowhere, there are many phrases to this:

You're coming out of the dark (nowhere, diferent place, unkown kid) to the spotlight (their racing scene) showing up to take on the racing scene.Like, if there's a new kid at school who acts like being the new king and actual kings are like look at that punk etc

I think it's easy to get my point, rog might just takes a prank on you and at the same time EA wrote to relate to Underground as at least an easter egg.

Maybe Ryan was driving the 370z in the beginning of UnderCover?

Sorry to necropost.
