Please be aware that today (Monday, February 6th) the team will be implementing an update to the SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED servers. As a result of this update, players will NO LONGER BE ABLE TO CHANGE THEIR EA ACCOUNT PASSWORD FROM WITHIN SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED.

If you do attempt to change your password from within the game you'll receive an error message stating that the new password is invalid. For PC players specifically, if they change their password outside of the game (through Origin, for example) they will not be able to log into Autolog, or in extreme cases will have to delete their save game files in order to connect to Autolog.

If you experience any issues with your password in SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED, please contact EA Customer Support.

Could the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 be the car that dethrones the BMW GTR e46 in Need for Speed World free to play racing game? Put it through its paces and decide for yourself. The Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 is now available for in-game cash!




Back by popular demand (and because NFSCoulter wanted a shot at the sweet jumps in the beginning), we've got a new Time Attack this week.

NFSCoulter ran a faster time for you to beat, but all the practice you did on NFS Edition Showdown before will pay off because we're not changing the Challenge Series!

If you can beat 2:41.07 on NFS Edition Showdown in the Plains Interstate Challenge Series, here's what to do:

1. Beat NFSCoulter's time in the same Challenge Series event
2. Grab a picture of your race time on the post-race screen
3. Twitpic it to @NeedForSpeed with the hashtag #NFSTheRunTimeAttack.

(We'll also take video entries; just be sure to submit your video as a response to our Time Attack video on YouTube)

At the end of the week we'll randomly draw from the pool of all entries one lucky winner who will receive a very cool prize from the Need for Speed swag cabinet!

A couple of rules you need to be aware of:
- There are no regional restrictions for this challenge. Anybody anywhere in the world can enter!
- This competition is open to all platforms.
- You can use any car available in the Challenge Series event
- Your twitpic and/or video must clearly display your race time. If we can't read it, it won't be considered a valid entry
- If you do choose to submit via YouTube video, it must be submitted as a response to our video
- Use of cheat programs or trainers is prohibited
- A player can only win one week in a row

Good luck!

NFS World has started to retire cars and will continue to do so on a weekly basis, so if you have had your eye on a certain beloved car, get it while you can!

With plenty of new cars being introduced weekly, we’ll look to “existing” cars and temporarily retire them. Owners of the retired cars will still be able to race them whereas others will need to wait until the car is once again available. Retired cars will become available again in the future, but at no guaranteed schedule. We will always give you a 1-week notice and list of the cars that are scheduled for retirement in the upcoming week. This gives you plenty of time to decide for yourself!

As of January 12th, the following cars will be retired from our current inventory and will not be purchasable until next year:

- Nissan Silvia Cop Car

- BMW 135i Art Director Car

- Aston Martin

- Aston Martin Cop car

To help our community get their hands on these cars before they’re gone, these cars will be on sale for 20% off ALL WEEK!!! Now is your chance so don’t miss out! Get these cars in your garage today!
