Need for Speed Underground Rivals

Get the Edge in Drag Racing
In drag racing, rather than holding the nitrous button down, tap it. Your car will gain speed faster.

Computers and Shortcuts
In Lincoln Connector an easy way to win is to simply force the computer into the first shortcut of the race. Once the computer is in the shortcut the car will freeze for a period of time. This freezing can even last for up to a lap.

Fast Mazda RX-7:
After getting the RX-7, put the following upgrade parts on the car to obtain maximum speed: Aeromax spoiler, Beast Carbon Fiber hood, Gills roof scoop, and Max 1 body kit. Also, make sure you all of the performance upgrades unlocked and ready to install. You can get over 210 mph with this setup and win won a race by 42 seconds.

Avoid losing control:
Press R1 before you hit a wall or you might lose control.

Car selection:
If you are having trouble figuring out which cars to use for what event, cars with high top speeds/acceleration are good for drag races; cars with good controls/handling are best for drifting; and cars with a balance of the three are good for normal racing.

Earning driver points:
You can earn all the upgrade points in an event by winning it in Bronze and Silver difficulty settings. However, to get all of the driver points you must win all of the races under the Gold difficulty setting. Check the "Driver Status" screen in "My Underground" to see your current driver points and driver rank. Maxing out your driver rank will unlock secret bonuses.

Nitrous runs
On the nitrous run levels, let off the gas through tight turns. Otherwise, you will hit the wall and flip your car.

Music
To listen to the music that you have encountered, go to the main menu and select "EA games Pocket Trax". Here are the song that are in movie mode:

The DONOTS: "We got the noise"
Soulwax: "Any Minute Now"

Freeze the Computer
When in Lincoln Connector, simply force your computer opponent into the first shortcut you see. Once in there, the computer will freeze for a while, letting you get a huge lead.

Unlocking The 4 Boss Cars
Getting a chance to race the Boss Cars depend upon what level you are racing at and what car you are using. In PRO Level Boss Races, keep changing your car until you get the race you want against either the Subaru Impreza or 1969 Dodge Charger. In MASTER Level Boss Races, you may also have to change your car until you can race the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 or the Nissan Skyline R34 GTR. You will have to beat these Bosses in other Boss Races in order to unlock them.

Boss Cars
In some race events that says Boss Race in the event description, you can win that Boss's car by beating the event on Gold difficulty. When you win a Boss car, it appears in the Pocket Garage and you can race it in any game event
