name, then select DONE. Your Alias is created.

When creating a new Alias you are prompted to set your Assist level. Assists help novice racers
get in the game faster by simplifying controls.
Casual The best setting for inexperienced racers. The casual setting manages
the braking for you and assists you to the best line.
Racer The best setting for intermediate-level racers. The racer setting helps
you brake in difficult corners.
King The best setting for veteran racers. The king setting lets you feel the
raw power of the car.
Note: You may change your Assist level in the Options menu at any time.
Tip: As your driving skills increase, try more advanced Assist levels for more control, faster
races, and higher scores.

When creating a race in either Quick Match or Race Day modes (for more info, see p. 6),
you are asked to customize a variety of options, including preferred race mode and race
variations.
race modes
Choose between race styles to test your skill at sliding, pedal mashing, or shifting gears.
Master these four race modes and you’ll defeat the top racers across all of Need for Speed
ProStreet’s racing organizations and, ultimately, become the Street King.
Grip Race around a circuit to prove you have the best handling and fastest
car in the field.
Drift Win massive drift points by sliding sideways around bends. Tap your
emergency brake to initiate a slide, then steer with the skid and feather
the throttle to keep it going. But beware: the walls come up quickly and
stopping isn’t easy.
