Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Play most challenges in Underground Mode at Medium Difficulty until the last twenty races to accumulate credits for upgrades.
  2. 2
    Consider playing some challenges on Easy Difficulty if they require luck and multiple attempts.
  3. 3
    Be aware that frequent part or car swaps can deplete credits quickly.
  4. 4
    Play on Hard Difficulty for increased credit earnings.
  5. 5
    Understand that once all 112 challenges are completed, your current car cannot be modified further; however, customizations for quick races do not require credits if parts are unlocked.
  6. 6
    To unlock magazine covers, play Underground Mode on Hard Difficulty.
  7. 7
    Some magazine covers require beating specific best times/scores in Career Mode.
  8. 8
    Once a cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) is earned, you can attempt other challenges of that type on any difficulty.
Tips
  • Bonus cars unlocked via Style Rewards cannot be used in Underground Mode, only vinyls.
  • Refer to the Best Times/Scores section for a complete list of track records needed to earn magazine covers no. 20 - 23.
  • Customizations for quick races do not require credits if parts are already unlocked.
