Your cars 350-horsepower heart rumbles in your hands and pure torque slams you every time you turn the wheel, just the way you like it. Drivings in your DNA, and everything you doevery move, every momentdefines you. You can slide through the pack like a ghost, untouchable, taking every corner perfectly. You can ride wild, attacking the road and any driver between you and the finish line. Its up to you.

Need for Speed SHIFT lets you choose your perspective, from outside the car to inside the racing helmet, watching your hands rattle on the wheel. You can switch perspectives on the fly by pressing the F button.

PROFILE POINTS METER CASHFLOW

THE PERFECT LINE

Pull a move that earns points, and you also add to the Profile Points meter. Max it out for a multiplier that doubles all the points you accumulate. Slack off, and the meter starts draining. Keep performing profile-building actions to keep that multiplier humming. You still have to earn some sweet cash to buy the cars and parts youve unlocked. Finish anywhere in the top eight and youll make some dough, but finish in the top three to get the best upgrades faster.

Every road has a perfect line for maximum speed. Yours is visible as a green line on the track. Stick hard to the line to dominate races and earn extra Profile Points. The line also changes color to reflect your situation: yellow if youre hitting a corner too fast, red when youre about to leave the track, face-first. You can turn the Line OFF from the Gameplay menu under OPTIONS.

DRIVER PROFILE

QUICK RACE CAREER

Every driver has their own style, and every move you make out on the track reflects yours. Whether you favor precision or aggression, your Driver Profile shapes the challenges you face and the opportunities youre given. Every new driver starts off with a one-lap qualifier to see what your natural abilities are; your race engineer recommends default game settings based on your performance. From there, evolve your Driver Profile any way you want.

Choose your race event, your car, track location and tear it up. Advancing through Career mode unlocks more cars to use in Quick Races; any career or rewards cars are available in Quick Race. Any cash or points earned in a Quick Race are available in Career mode. LEARN FAST: Love taps wont mess up your ride, but a real collision can put you to the rear of the pack.

You also unlock new upgrade tiers as you progress through your career, upping the competition and the stakes. LEARN FAST: Many Career events have restrictions on the kind of car you can use. You must use a ride that complies to participate in those events. Compete against your friends for ownership of each career event. A green light by an event means you have the best lap time or highest drift score. A red light means one or more of your friends holds that title until you can take it away. Go to the Friends Competition Leaderboard to see who owns the most tracks. LEARN FAST: You must be signed into the PlayStationNetwork and EA Nation to see the Friends Competition markers.

Minor badges are awarded throughout your career as you hit major milestonesracking up major mileage on a car, winning consecutive races, mastering corners, defeating rival driversand add up to major badges as you continue to excel across every track.

Every badge earned can also be added to your car from the Visuals menu under CAR GARAGE, if you want another way to show up the competition.

RIVALS

FRIENDS COMPETITION

Some people resent it when a new guy comes along and dusts them like a little girl. Rivals are a step up from the usual competition, better behind the wheel or just meaner. Post a podium finish for every event in a competition and a rival makes things personal by issuing a direct challenge. Accept it at any time from that competition. Dominate those challenge events to earn badges, extra stars, and some fat cash for your wallet. Thatll teach em to be a sore loser.

SPECIAL INVITATIONAL EVENTS NFS LIVE WORLD TOUR

When your career hits a certain trajectory, opportunities start coming your way. Invitational Events are bonus chances to earn stars and money in a Hot Lap or Eliminator race. Hot laps test precision driving, while Eliminators are built for more aggressive tendencies.

This is what its all about: a no-mercy, two-series marathon that spans the globe and a finale race to take the championship. If you make it to the Tour, youre a champion whos up against champions. The margin for error is slim. If you win the Tour, youve reached the pinnacle of your sport but thats a big if.

THE CARS
Buy the rides you want, then upgrade and tune them into perfect machines. Just remember: cars perform differently. Get a feel for what your cars do best, and use them accordingly. LEARN FAST: The classic drifting technique is to rip your E-Brake and slam the gas while turning into a corner, but with some cars, all it takes is a hard turn to break the grip, or some normal brake taps. Either way, dont forget to counter-steer coming out of the turn, or you might faceplant into a wall. If you start sh-tailing, tap the brakes to get your grip back.

CUSTOMIZATION
VISUALS

Dig in and make your cars lighter, tighter, faster and cooler. Select CAR GARAGE from the main menu to get started. It wont make you go faster or grip tighter, but whats the point of winning if you dont look cool? Head to the Visuals menu to respray your car and up-style your wheels with better alloys and finishes. You can also apply, rotate, or scale the badges youve won and decals you like.

YOUR GARAGE
BUYING CARS

UPGRADES
PARTS

Its where your cars live when theyre not tearing up the asphalt. Choose CAR GARAGE from the main menu to visit and work on all your babies. Every driver starts with a two-car garage, but more garage slots are earned as your Driver Level increases. If youve got the cash and an open garage slot, you can buy any unlocked car you want. From the main menu, select CAR LOT under CAR GARAGE. You can also buy a car (and get a free garage slot) by reaching into your PlayStationNetwork Wallet.

There are a lot of things you can replace and improve on a car to make it perform exactly the way you want if youve got the money. Beef up performance with better engines, drivetrains, a turbo/supercharger, or concentrate on handling by adding new tires, brakes, and improved suspension.

AERODYNAMICS RACE PARTS

SELLING CARS

Take that stock car and make it ready for the big leagues by throwing on some body kits for extra downforce and aerodynamics, or stripping out the cockpit to reduce your weight. Add a nitrous tank or replace your exhaust system. Put on fatter tires and shorter final drives. Youll have yourself a race car before you know it. If youve bought all the parts and conversions, theres only one place left to go: crazy. Works packages cost a serious bundle and go into microscopic detail to squeeze every last inch of performance out of your ride. Itll hurt your wallet bad, but youll feel that quality out on the track. LEARN FAST: Only select cars qualify for works conversion, so keep an eye out when shopping for your next ride.

Selling a car that doesnt cut it anymore puts money in your pocket and frees up a slot in your garage. Go to the My Cars page, pick the wheels you want to ditch, and press the F button.

PHOTOS AND REPLAYS

Capture the moment in pictures by opening the pause menu at any time and selecting PHOTO MODE. Move the right stick to pan around your car, press the W button/R button to zoom in/out, and the S button to take a snapshot. Even better, you can check out a video replay of your current stage. Select REPLAY from the pause menu, then highlight the replay controls and press the S button to play/pause the footage. Capture a still image in Photo Mode by pressing the D button. If youre signed in to EA Nation, any photo you capture automatically uploads to the EA server. You cannot capture images during Multiplayer matches. Only your last ten photos are available; visit NeedForSpeed.com to make sure your favorite images are saved.

Sometimes getting the best performance isnt any tougher than opening the hood with a wrench in your hand. Adjust everything from tire pressure to shocks and drivetrains until your baby purrs on the track. Tuning a car doesnt cost a thing, and can make a world of difference. In a hurry? Quick tune your ride by adjusting Steering, Gearing, Balance, and Downforce.

Just because the games gone legit doesnt mean street racers have given up the laughing gas. Buy a nitrous tank from the Upgrades menu and give yourself a boost by pressing and holding the A button for as long as you need it or until your tank is drained.

EVENTS
There are variations on every race, from starting position and number of opponents to time of day. Some races might even limit your choice of cars, but that shouldnt matter to a truly gifted driver, right? Race A straight circuit race, you against a dozen or so other racers who dont plan to lose. Eliminator Stay ahead or say goodbye. A multi-lap race where the last place driver on every lap gets dropped. Theres also a time-based variant that drops the last place driver every 30 seconds. Drift Polish your technique on a marked course thats scored by how fast and controlled your drifts are. The driver with the most points wins. Driver Duel Chase down or out-pace a top-ranked driver in a best-of-three battle. Series Take part in a series of races, across multiple tracks.
