This means players will have to be careful with their investments and not get too greedy. The stakes will be higher this time around though, as all of it is coupled with a buy-in system for races, replicating a form of betting, brought into collective street racing folklore by the classic Fast & Furious movies. The heat system for police chases returns, with each race you take part in giving you gradually more unwanted attention from the police forces.

This hints to be an additional boost feature that would add up on top of regular nitrous, and with the new tyre smoke effects and such, might be tied to driving elements such as drifting, as past racing games such as older NFS or Burnout series have been doing - and with Criterion involved, imagining some mechanics have been borrowed from the later wouldn't be that much of a stretch. In terms of gameplay, a feature named Burst Nitrous is advertised as being new.
