There are missable achievements. You can do anything on underground mode when you beat the game. Another run...
sandro4912 26 Apr 2025 19:08
Yes you miss some of the magazines. What i meant is weird that the normal races the difficulty does not matter.
LivingWithGames 27 Apr 2025 01:37
S2000 is actually filthy good in this game, as much as I originally beat this game with a Neon, this time I went Hard% with Miata. Pretty dang good car, no wonder speedrunners use it.

But as soon as you unlock the S2000, trade for it. It's literally the meta car, even the Skyline wishes it was that good. I only got the time trials left over so, a mastery IS happening.
LivingWithGames 27 Apr 2025 03:34
My 20th mastery! And I'm 240th for this game, not bad.
CookiePLMonster 28 Apr 2025 17:30
Copying my comment from one of the leaderboards, because this concerns practically every leaderboard in this set:

suXin found out that most leaderboards in this set have a bug - if you have last played a Lap Knockout in Reverse, they won't submit.

To fix, simply start a Lap Knockout FORWARDS and then leave. Circuit/Sprint/Drift scores, best Drift and Longest Drift leaderboards will then get unstuck.
sandro4912 28 Apr 2025 17:42
I thought it was that Quick Race ones simply to not submit drift records there ever.
shekanya 29 Apr 2025 16:16
So, I've become 242 master of this cursed game. Seriously, never, listen me, never play this game.
Nope, it's not affair of achievements. But some of which really true hard. It's a matter of madness artificial intelligence. Rubber banding should be declared illegal. Some missions put you in an awkward position, for example, mission 51(Deal Yourself a Straight Hand), where 2 Eclipse against you, and in this moment all your cars weaker. Next hard missions it's a 95(Kurt's Killer Ride) and 103(Enduro Street Circuit). In this missions, computer are cheating hard. Black box could be create fair intelligence, but they did that. When computer getting speed out of nowhere, when white buses arise of nowhere, when computer move in turn on full speed. It's truly hurt. Racing sports conversion to dead or alive, where you need cause an accident for your opponents. If I want this, I'll play Carmageddon.
Physics are madness. Minimal accident on low speed - you are flying to the sky. It's kind Dark Souls in the world of racing.
I thought are drag racing, or drifting it's will be hard, but not, truly hard are circuit races for 6-7 laps. Truly hard achievements? Just one. Yep, it's not a Drift King or Drifting for Days. It's Still a Buster.
Soundtrack and drifting - it's all of I liked in this game. I hate the rest.
PC version of this game I getting as gift on childhood. And I'm really lucky, because my PC couldn't handle it. If I could play on childhood, I suffered mental trauma.
Seriously, 242 people which mastered this game - you can send them to Vietnam. Because if they can survive in this mastering - they survive in everywhere.
sandro4912 29 Apr 2025 17:05
Tipp for the unfair rubberband ai levels you mentioned. Uninstall turbo. the ai will also do it and these races become an easier cheese.

If not all these later 6 round races can be a real hell to win.
Gold171 30 Apr 2025 14:47
@shekanya I will admit there's a sense of R&G with this game's AI and traffic, but I must ask, have you ever played the Midnight Club games? If NFSU players are hardened for Vietnam, MC2 players are hardened for Hell itself. Even MC3 makes me shudder in comparison to NFSU.
sh4kky 30 Apr 2025 15:43
@Gold171, agreed. NFS design at least more "fair" to the player. It doesn't try to kill you on purpose like MC2 does by placing additional traffic/obstacles into each race. Even traffic patterns on Drag Races in NFSU are almost same every time.

About rubberband: It may cause problems only on very few races, where some section for the tracks are broken for AI, and where those sectors are in the end of lap. In general, in long races you don't need to lead for whole 6 laps, AI tend to slow down their pace if they're ahead, thats hot "catchup" mechanic works. Also note that wallriding and wall bouncing also affects AI lines as well, so if you're extremely fast through slow turn it may cause them to get those unreal speed boosts.
shekanya 1 May 2025 11:29
@sandro4912, just turbo? I'm uninstall to all mods, and this is working just 95 and 103 circuit missions. But in 51 drag mission it's not working, because all my cars are weaker of 2 Eclipse - in this moment Eclipse or more powerful cars is unavailable. I'm decided that moment with dirty methods, such as a causing accidents for opponents. And little stroke of good luck.
@Gold171, hey, Dylan, thank you very much for warned against playing this games. At my age is not safe for my health. Perhaps, I'm never playing that, unless I go to the pharmacy first to get some valerian root extract.
I hate the games, where you need learn long combos, or doesn't forgive mistakes, such as Dark Souls or Underground or Ninja Gaiden (hi Mr. Itagaki). Games for pleasure, not for suffering.
Actually, all my racing games that I know - Underground 1,2 and Most Wanted. Well maybe more Crazy Taxi or Clutch (also known as Armageddon Riders). Most Wanted and Clutch I most loved from all of this.
sandro4912 1 May 2025 12:12
yeah i realized if you take all you are somehow weaker than them. you can also switch to a car which is faster when not tuned.
wretzky 7 May 2025 19:29
The AI always brutalizes me a little bit but DUDE, having my car do 3 barrel rolls on 6/6th turn because someone passed 1st and blasted a CONSTRUCTION PLOT on my face was unexpected lmao
JW0kee 9 May 2025 10:16
So, my first mastery. It was a fun ride. Except for 'Still a Buster' achievement - pure pain it was. But now I almost never miss perfect timing on drag race. Thanks for that and for the set
weirdwebbster 9 May 2025 22:44
Mastered! First ever mastery too!

Thanks for the set, was a bunch of fun to replay the game - RX7 and S2000 are such a joy to use.

Big thanks to sandro for your suffering leading me to the perfect drift setup, once you get the S2000 tuned right, those events aren't so bad. Even got the dreaded Devilish Drifter without realising.

The career is fun but holy moly the rubberbanding actually is that bad, huh? They fall 10s behind and are right back behind you about 1 lap later, it's insane. I was gonna do every single event on hard but I threw in the towel around event 85~, 6 lap circuit races with that rubberbanding just saps away the fun. I wish I had realised a lot earlier that you only need to do the tournaments and the final race on hard.

Also I hate drag races. The ones in career actually feel like so much RNG when you play them on hard, the traffic ruins you and you have to hit like, perfect shifts or tap NOS or you're just done. Still A Buster was a bit of a pain to go for but got it after about 15-20 min of resetting.
StrictJumpies 11 May 2025 05:26
The fact that some of the achievements are missable and aren't marked as such. I just finished the campaign before realising. Whoever created this set, pathetic.
Gold171 11 May 2025 13:05
@StrictJumpies You are free to become a developer at any time. You may use the appropriate contact information listed down below, at the very bottom of the site. There you may submit a request with an admin. Or, you could not be so insulting, join the discord server, and discuss with other devs or admins there your request.
That being said, lesson learned; always review your achievements before any playthrough, review the forum topic, code notes, and game wall comments for anything that may help you determine how you should play, or what to look out for.
I mean no disrespect, but achievement developers are not compensated whatsoever. Please keep that in mind.
sandro4912 11 May 2025 13:37
If an cheevo is missable but not marked missable you do not need to become a developer to change that.

Simply report the cheevo. It has a button which states the state is wrong (progress, missable) then missable will be checked by QA and added.
StrictJumpies 11 May 2025 21:35
I just looked at people currently playing the game, and there are atleast 2 people replaying the Underground mode because they missed achievements. How likely would that have been if they were marked? In 1 persons case, like me, it was 1 achievement. They missed one, incredibly easy achievement that was missable.

You say I have to read every achievement, every forum post, the code notes and ALL game wall comments just incase the developer got lazy? Actually, no. It's not laziness, it's either ignorance or they want people to suffer. Because people been talking about how these are missable for over 3 years.

There are literally 2 people as I write this message replaying the whole Underground mode because of easily missed cheevos. God knows how many people and how many hours were wasted over something so stupid.
f01under 26 May 2025 14:29
Mastery #4 completed in about 13 hours (softcore). Everyone knows, NFSU is an iconic game with a banger soundtrack that captures the 00's street racing vibe. Biggest grip would be the lack of track variety - everything is basically permutations of the few routes in the city which get old fast.

All Underground races were played on hard for the extra cash and to not miss any difficulty related achievements. I started with the Miata, swapped to the Nissan 240sx on challenge 53 "Straight Up", then permanently swapped to the Mazda RX-7 as soon as it unlocked (event 73 or 91 I think). Automatic transmission the entire playthrough. I'm sure you could beat the game with plenty of cars but the RX-7 did great, good speed and nice handling. I also used the RX-7 for all drift events no tinkering, just the maxed performance parts always.

Somewhere around Challenge 103 I went into Quick Races and knocked out almost all of the Drift-related achievements, which got me Drift King & Max Style (big scores on Drift events give you huge chunks of style points). I was a bit confused on how to acquire some of the magazines but they just came naturally, and I made sure to leave a few Underground events left over in case I had forgotten anything. There's a trick (intended?) where you can complete the requirements for an achievement in Quick Race (eg Drift King) - then go Underground and do any event, you then receive the Magazine reward at the end of the event. So as long as you don't wait until the last UG event (113 total) you shouldn't get stuck.

I completed most of the post-game cleanup in my first attempt except for Circuit races - I recommend setting those to 2 laps so you can have a 150+mph "rolling start" on lap 2, then hitting the time should be easy (as long as you don't get destroyed by the evil traffic or unfortunate geometry like a box or post :D )
