NFS game that Criterion... NOT EA... actually spent time on to make it a better game than the other versions, yet it was still a late release. (in itself means it will sell dramatically less, why did Ubi delay Rayman again?) While Criterion had good intentions, EA did not match that support and it also received zero marketing.

If EA had named them "EA EAD" (lol) when they bought them in 2004, would you be arguing that EA didn't spend time improving the game?

I find this line of argument ridiculous.  If they were a recent acquisition, sure, there could be an element of "EA didn't have a hand in it".  Criterion have been a part of EA for 9 years.  NFSMWU wasn't some covert undercover operation they did while the evil eyes of their slave drivers weren't watching.  Blimey.

No, it was simply a game that they were too deep into for EA to justify pulling the ripcord, like Mass Effect 3, so they sent it out to die instead.
