This, but another little tip

If you get into your favourite car with favourite mods equipped to it.then select an event in the way described above all the mods you had equipped to the car you were in will be installed to the car you select from the list,they wont be installed permenantly,just while your in that car,they will disappear after you change car again,but make winning some harder events easier

[rogg77]

This is indeed the best way and fastest way to get all the races, but if you change the race the same way right after winning the mods will be also installed on that car.

For the 3 pro mods on multiplayer - reinflate is the quickest - just do burnouts - it reinflates immediately - you dont need to be racing.

I also did track tyres - comes naturally - as does perfect nitrous.

Painless and easy ;-)

I really want to get this game, not sure how I will do getting the 1000 though

I suck at racing games, at least thats what NFS:The Run told me

Well, you porbably shouldn't get it... because you'll never beat my times and always feel inadequate.

[rcmotta]

wow! great guide, really helped me out in finding all the jack spots and billboards haha

thanks!

[Wildmn34]

5 new cars and a whole bunch of races coming Dec 18th.

DLC will be called "Ultimate Speed Pack"

Not sure if that's true. I have a couple of accounts on my xbox but only my main is GOLD. I fired up my other account and started NFS:MW, did the first race it wanted and that was it. When I did the Origin bit it wouldn't connect as my account didn't have Live Gold privs so I though...oh well. Went back to my main account and the cheevo popped. So my 2nd account never actually connected to autolog but still counted. Just in case anyone else wants to do similar!

[RkOwnage]

Do I have to beat my friend's autolog score to get first place in a race and unlock a part? It's a speed run and it's not telling me a speed to beat, just says I failed to beat my friend.

think it's a little unfair to make me beat a friend's record to unlock a car part...in singleplayer, unless I am missing something here.

Event is Downgraded.

No, not to unlock parts. There are three Speed levels. Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

You can tell what speed you are running while you are driving there will be a little window-ish thing on the left of your car saying your average speed. There will be a color next to it. Red means you're not even at Bronze. Bronze and Gold (at least on my TV) look similar.

I believe in the upper right corner it also tells you the "Target" speed to hit.

Here is a video I did of a different race, but it's the same concept (reach average speed). You can see both speeds I was talking about.

Need for Speed - The Getaway - Koenigsegg - YouTube

I have no idea how to make videos appear now that Youtube changed everything. Sorry.

Added a video guide for all jack spot locations for the networking achievement. Also updated the jack spots map by marking all the Most Wanted jack spots with a red dot so you don't mistake those for spots that are discoverable.

The mod glitch doesn't work for me.

Doesn't seem to be working after downloading the multiplayer update. I've updated the guide.

[RandomHypnotica]

Thanks for this! Looks comprehensive and detailed, but will be easier to tell when I get the game tommorow.

[Pokenut]

For the "Modfather" achievement, do all three pro mods have to be on the same car? I'm asking because the reinflates are very easy and if you can get that one on three different cars then the achievement is very simple.

Pro mods work a bit differently in multiplayer. You only have to complete the requirements for a pro mod once, and then it's unlocked for all your cars, which means you can't just do reinflates on 3 different cars because the other cars will already have it unlocked as soon as you get the standard mod on them.

So I counted the gates, as I just can't seem to find the last one. Maybe someone will have an easeir time going for the gates from the start once they are counted as on this map. They do sum up to 135, though there is at least one gate more than on the other map (there are just 134 there?).

[AmbaLaBamba]

The Sidewinder 25 achievement was the first I unlocked, it's easy to get during the games opening sequence. There is a large bend just after the tunnel section (if my memory serves me right) and that's where I got it, though being honest there are one or two sections of road you can do it on it that opening sequence if you try.

[VirusBube]

i have 134 of the 135 Security Gates, but i can´t find the last one...
what can i do??

My last one was on the bridge.

I just printed the map A3 so it was clearer and went round them all again.

[B A R 4 D]

Just 1000'd the game at 25hrs 10mins. A very enjoyable 25 hours and not a single regrettable minute. I had to start a new save for the gates at the end due to small bugs but that only took me an hour extra so no biggie.

Game was defnitely a LOT easier than Hot Pursuit, and I still prefer Hot Pursuit over this but this still has to be my favourite racer of 2012 by far. I just hope they add enough DLC for this game to reach 1250G..THEN will I buy all the DLC otherwise EA aren't getting my money.

[Hurricane Of 87]

If I buy this second hand which achievements will I be unable to obtain?
the first post makes it seem like a still have access to multiplayer, but can't level up preventing certain unlocks. It doesn't specify which ones. Modfather and the number plate ones I'm guessing.

[OxygenJunkie]

So I have found all jack spots and I have the 'car driven' milestone for each car in the menu, how come I am still stuck at 39/41 cars? I've also done all the most wanted races.

[DMV]

I believe a quicker and more efficient way to drive all the cars and find all jackspots is ater you shut down all the 10 most wanted racers, just start at the top of the car list, and jump to every single car's jack spot, and then keep going down until you get to the bottom, or you get both achievements Love Them and Leave Them 30 and Networking 25 , which ever one comes first.

EDIT: My mistake, the version I got gives me both DLC TimeSavers and Ultimate Speed, so I could get this achievement by doing what I said above easily since all the Jack Spots were shown on the map.

Just wanted to comment regarding the second is nothing achievement. You said "Anything on the reccomends map that is green hasn't been won yet". This is wrong. What you actually CAN do on this screen is see which completed races you have won. The green ones are completed. Hover over one, and at the top left beside the difficulty there will be either a Gold, Silver, or Bronze mark, signifying what place you got in that race. Hover over every single green mark until you find one that is either Silver or Bronze, and win it.

The above should only be done once you have completed (finished) all 61 races. To keep track of what races you have won/completed I would definitely use that link the OP provides to keep track of which races you've done. Go through every car, check the races and whichever races shows 500 SP, as opposed to 12,000 , 8,000 , or 4,000 , you then check off the list. If it DOES NOT show the reward as 500, then you havn't won that event.
