LAN in next patch?

A guy named Nestoshouse posted the following in EA's Need for Speed Undeground message board:

[quote]Hey everyone,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that we (EA) hear you loud and clear. Just so you understand where things are at I wanted to drop a quick note:

1. First and foremost, we are working diligently on fixing the cheating/trainer issues that have cropped up recently. The majority of the server side code should be integrated mid-week and the rest will come in the form of a mid to late December patch.

2. We are continuing to work on the compatibility issues some players are experiencing; this should also find its way in the patch.

3. OK, no promises here, but due to the overwhelming demand for LAN play we are going to see what we can do Post-Christmas about getting something in for the PC community. Again, No promises, stay tuned.

Thanks for the support,
