That kind of in-game coin can take weeks to earn so, if you're the competitive sort, that $14.00 Viper starts looking better and better. Moving from a beginner E class car - my Mitsubishi Eclipse, for example - to a slightly faster D class Audi RS4 was going to set me back $600,000 (and the resale value of my customized Eclipse was a paltry $37,000).
If you start going crazy you can rack up a few hundred dollars in garage inventory in no time.
#IGN NEED FOR SPEED WORLD UPGRADE#
Of course, you can stick with your free car and try to win enough in-game cash to either upgrade it with new performance parts or supplement it with faster makes and models, but the game is rigged to make that very difficult. Want to take a Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 for a spin? That'll set you back 4600 SB points (about $18.50). Speedboost points, you can immediately convert them into a 500-hp Dodge Viper SRT-10.
Speedboost is the key to NFS: World's better rides. I upped my XP to Level 4 in my first few hours with the game before hitting a wall where subsequent promotions came achingly slow. As you level-up, you can unlock new events and vehicles but you'll also have to re-invest your winnings into car upgrades if you hope to stay remotely competitive. The more you play and produce successful results, the more experience points you earn. You may get lucky and draw some similarly disadvantaged opponents in pick-up races (with so many players there's always some newbies in the mix), but when that Porsche 911 Carrera materializes alongside you at the start line, about all you can do is gnash your teeth and hope for a podium finish.Īlong with the frustrating pay-to-win car superiority, NFS: World leveling quickly becomes a grind. After a few hours, I realized that my starter car - despite tens of thousands of dollars of performance upgrades I'd dumped into it - still didn't measure up against many of my paid competitors. Your only shot at real action is to pull up the map and teleport to a sprint, circuit race, or police pursuit event.Īfter a few hours, I realized that my starter car - despite tens of thousands of dollars of performance upgrades I'd dumped into it - still didn't measure up against many of my paid competitors. NFS: World offers a Free Roam mode where you can tour around to your heart's content but, apart from a mildly diverting Treasure Hunt offering, there's bugger all to do here. So I progressed through sprawling and attractively-rendered urban environs in my free Eclipse GT looking for pick-up races (against AI or live opponents) and police pursuit scenarios. If you want a genuinely hot car - even for a short-term rental - you'll have to plunk down your credit card and spend real money in EA's online store. Vehicle-wise, NFS: World features over 125 muscle cars, tuners, and exotics - including some rolling wet dreams from Lamborghini, Porsche, and McLaren - but almost none of these high-end machines can be purchased with in-game cash.
