Basics
Crash Escape?
means avoided accident
get close to a car, wait till last moment and then change car's direction to avoid accident

Near Miss?
pass extremely close to a car at high speed without making contact or crash with it

Oncoming?
same direction means right side of the road or which your driving towards a location, but oncoming traffic is the driving in the wrong side of the road or in a better way, left side of the road

Slipstream?
Slipstreaming is a special technique where a car follows another car by staying right behind the leading car in same speed
get close to a car from behind, it'll pop up Slipstreaming title in bottom right of screen

Drifting?
just drift :)

SP Farm
find a fast car like corvette and select these:
  • Tires -> Reinflates
  • Nitrous -> Powershot
  • Chasis -> Reinforced
  • Body -> Impact Protection
  • Transmission -> Short gears

NOW HIT A COP CAR AND LET THEM FOLLOW YOU
just in case, you need to hit target's back lights side and they crash immediately, or hit them in doors spot and they get shut down really fast

everytime you take down a cop car, your heat goes up, let your heat gets to it's maximum(6) and when SP was 50k, switch all modifications back to speed and acceleration method or continue with current one(toughness for hitting cops) and try to escape (level 6 pursuit is with swat units btw, super tanky but if you ram them(imagine the length of a swat unit truck, hit it to its middle part with max speed and truck will get destroyed everytime you hit it)
when your done with escaping, game will add 50k to your SP
and repeat :)

Speedrun
Every game does have a speedrun community which they try to end the game as fast as possible to get a time record, such as Minecraft, Elden Ring pre 1.02, Mario and lots of other games
This game's goal is to beat the top racer and become #1
Game does have a list which is Most Wanted Cars to defeat in race and take them down to own their car


I have two methods which one is for dlc players and the other one is for non dlc players

Non DLC Players
First you need to find Corvette ZR1 and use SP Farm build to farm till your sp is 415,000 with the build below

Tires -> Reinflates Pro
Nitrous -> Powershot Pro
Chasis -> Ram Pro
Body -> Impact Protection Pro
Transmission -> Short Gears Pro

Now open easydrive menu and go to Most Wanted Cars then choose Most Wanted Racer #6 (McLaren MP4-12C) and set destination, start the race, defeat and take him down to get McLaren MP4-12C

After this, you need to farm sp with SP Farm build up to 1,000,000 SP

before racing #1, you need to use High Speed build which is:

Tires -> Track Pro
Nitrous -> Burn Pro
Chasis -> Lightweight Pro
Body -> Aero Pro
Transmission -> Short Gears Pro

If you don't have these, you should race and win them and upgrade em to pro
which takes time

at the end, go beat Most Wanted Racer #1 (Koenigsegg Agera R)
the moment you take Koenigsegg down, games finished and your speedrun is over

DLC Players

If you bought DLCs, game gives you 4 extra Most Wanted Boss Races to defeat em without any SP requirement

Find McLaren F1 over here

Win these races: Pumping Iron, Green Zone and Around The World
Upgrade the parts you won from races to pro

Then Equip these:

Tires -> Track Pro
Nitrous -> Burn Pro
Chasis -> Lightweight Pro
Body -> Aero Pro
Transmission -> Short Gears Pro


Open easydrive menu and select Most Wanted Cars then choose Most Wanted Venom and set destination and win the race. at the end take him down to get Venom GT

You can defeat Venom GT with default McLaren F1, but it'll be hard, not a bit, i mean real hard(in a better way, you need luck)

Now you need to farm SP with SP Farm build till you have 1,000,000 SP

Tires -> Reinflates Pro
Nitrous -> Powershot Pro
Chasis -> Ram Pro
Body -> Impact Protection Pro
Transmission -> Short Gears Pro

Before finishing the game, you need to have these parts:

Tires -> Track Pro
Nitrous -> Burn Pro
Chasis -> Lightweight Pro
Body -> Aero Pro
Transmission -> Short Gears Pro

Race Most Wanted Racer #1 (Koenigsegg Agera R) and take him down to finish the game
Resetting SP


-thanks to KN1992 for pointing this out

to reset your SP progress which is in your save file, you have to delete it
(if you have Steam Cloud Save enabled, disable it and then delete the save)
but be aware tho; DELETING the save file will delete your online progress too, unless EA has made a cloud data copy of your save.

Steps:
1. Turn off your internet, then start your game to make sure it is using local save.

2. go to Document>Criterion Games>Need for Speed:MW>Save games>Delete the save.
Take a backup from the saved file before deleting it

3. Now start the game without the internet still
If it doesn't start because the EA app is not starting without internet, turn on the internet for just long enough for the app to start but turn it off before the game starts

4. If it asks you to choose a save file between local and cloud choose local

5. Now if the game progress has reset you will have to always play in offline mode because if you go online EA will download your previous SP(the progression currency) from the cloud but not the car progress

yeah, thats why the author of the mod that opens up some closed areas in the map like small alleyways had to enable the collisions of the walls on the beach in order to stop cheating

I have a question. Can you play NFS Most Wanted 2012 online if you mod it?

iracer 18 Dec, 2024 @ 5:32pm 
@Piexar Thank you! It took some effort to figure out how to get "Realistic Plugin v4.02" working. I even had to do a bit of "hacking" :) But in the end, I got it! I managed to configure everything—hood view, steering wheel view, dashboard view, roof view... Incredible!
Piexar  [author] 18 Dec, 2024 @ 3:20pm 
@iracer on hood i feel that💔. yeah there are some mods for camera. personally i saw two of em: [1. NFS Most Wanted (2012) - Realistic Plugin v4.02] and [2. Camera Control v2.0]. how to find them? just google the sentences i sent through two brackets[] and you shall find them easily. have a good day/night:luv:
iracer 18 Dec, 2024 @ 1:32pm 
Is there a mod to change camera view? The game have 2 view modes only - both too bad...
Piexar  [author] 10 Nov, 2024 @ 8:23pm

Smokey 1 Oct, 2024 @ 12:10pm
