MULTIPLAYER
Fairhaven, home to the hottest driving action on the planet and with Multiplayer, it only gets
hotter online.
In Multiplayer, you start at SpeedLevel 1 with a set of specially selected preset cars; these
are hand-tuned with a fixed set of preset mods to get you straight into the action. Hit higher
SpeedLevels and you will unlock more cars that can be customized. If you want to change your
ride in the game, bring up EasyDrive and select Change Car.
Online gameplay is served up in SpeedLists – sets of five events designed to challenge even
the best of drivers. From Speed Tests to Races to Team Races and Challenges, every event in
the SpeedList starts with a Meet Up. Drive to the Meet Up on the map and drive fast – whoever
gets there first gets a Speed Points bonus. If you’re ever stuck, then check the Ticker at the
bottom of the screen. It’s always there telling you what to do next.

speeD level
Your Multiplayer SpeedLevel determines how much you’ve unlocked to play with. As you go up
from SpeedLevel 1 to 70 you’ll unlock more cars, Milestone Lists, Sweet Revenge Awards and
License Plates.
The number of Speed Points you have determines your Multiplayer SpeedLevel. So if you have
played the Single Player game and earned some Speed Points, the next time you return to
Multiplayer, you’ll find your SpeedLevel has increased and unlocked even more cool stuff to
play with online.
neeD for speeD
A pre-selected set of cars for you to drive in Multiplayer. These preset cars can be identified
by the icon next to their name in EasyDrive. These cars come with a fixed set of mods
designed to get you into online play and cannot be customized.
CustoM Cars
Once you reach SpeedLevel 2, you’ll start unlocking cars that you will be able to customize.
Each is unlocked with Stock components and a basic paint job.
To unlock mods to customize these cars, open up Customize Car in EasyDrive and check out
the Milestones that are available. Complete the Milestone and the mod will be yours to equip to
that car using the options in EasyDrive.
tip: Once you’ve unlocked a Milestone for a car, progress towards that Milestone still counts
if you’re driving the Need for Speed version of the same car.
Milestones
Every car has a list of Milestones for you to achieve. Reaching these Milestones will unlock
mods and paint for your car. To unlock further mods for your car, complete the mod
Milestones. These will require you to complete a Milestone with a mod you have already
unlocked equipped to the car.
Milestone lists
As you get to higher SpeedLevels, lists of additional Milestones will be unlocked. Complete
these for Speed Point rewards, collectible License Plates and Pro mods.
These Milestone Lists and your progress to completing the Milestones they contain can be
viewed in the Milestone Lists section of Driver Details.
