EA Reveals Need for Speed: Shift PC Requirements
The new Shift in the franchise not without its SecuROM failures.

Despite what the requirements say, an internet connection is not mandatory to play the game. The game will use a disc-check only SecuROM without it having to verify online. Sounds a little less annoying, let’s hope it’s not at all.
