TLDR:
>dogshit tier publisher who doesn't care that games need time to develop and only see profits as main drive
>devs lack desire to take risks and instead take dumbest decisions ever
>dick sucking of Most Wanted with Underground 2 because they were bestsellers back in the day (big factor here because it's bad idea overall, that ship has sailed long time ago and devs should have moved on to something else)
>forced multiplayer instead of focusing on singleplayer
>bad physics model that took 5 games to fix
>progressively worse and worse soundtracks (NFS used to have top tier soundtracks in most games)

Carbon is halfbaked game that is also a stepping stone for all things that are wrong with games industry, and once you play it long enough, you notice the cracks very quickly. All complaints are reasonable, and I'm saying this as somebody who considered it as one of personal top 5 games in past. Nowadays I wouldn't touch it with 10 foot pole with how bad it is.
