João had the idea of ​​creating the mod after he discovered alternative versions, which were available at the time the game was released, in 2005. However, they in turn were not compatible with the version he had for the PlayStation 2. Because of this, over the years, he developed even more interest in creating his own version for a game in the franchise.

The mod was created in 2020, after a failed attempt to adapt another game in the series: Need for Speed: Underground 2. According to JBoyGBR, the game in question had a series of flaws and bugs in the mod, which made its development unfeasible. Therefore, the only way was to migrate to Most Wantedwhich ended up being the definitive version.

Nowadays, João Marcelo JBoyGBR relies on the help of the modder group Street’s Prodz Brasil. Together, they maintain the development of the game which, according to him, As complete as it may seem, it is still only halfway through the plan.

This is because the bold proposal is to add more elements to the game, such as Portuguese dubbing, and even the addition of Brazilian-inspired cutscenesgiving a new story to the game. Today the game has 100 national cars to be used in Career Mode, and other special ones for Quick Race Mode. However, the number has been increasing, since Need For Speed Most Wanted Brasil has frequent updates, which add more content to the game.

But the care is not limited to the aesthetics of the cars. João Marcelo JBoyGBR says that the entire creation process is designed with game balance in mindthat is, nothing that makes a vehicle good or bad enough to detract from the experience.

Modders even want to add Portuguese dubbing to the game.

And about an online mode, according to João Marcelo JBoyGBR, although Need For Speed Most Wanted Brasil does not have native mode, it is still possible to use other applications to create rooms for players to race together. However, even so the process is quite complex, and there is a limitation that only allows four players per room,

And for racing game fans, this isn’t the only “nationalization” project. That’s because João and his team have plans to do the same with other games in the series Need for Speedand other franchises, such as Midnight Club 2. But for now, the total focus is on completing the entire project. Need For Speed Most Wanted Brasil.
