Total Customization – Need for Speed SHIFT features a comprehensive customization option that lets the player tailor every aspect of the cars performance and styling.A combination of visual and audio effects will leave the player disorientated and briefly disrupt the race. Dynamic Crash Effect - When the player hits a static object or opponent car, the player will feel like they are 'taking damage'.Driver profile is pervasive throughout all modes: career and online. This system is made up of a driver's personality on the track, their success rate and any profile points and badges accrued all of which work together to create a tailor-made career and gameplay experience. Driver Profile – What kind of driver are you? Driver profile tracks the player's evolution as a race driver from event to event.The depth of field also adjusts based on the speed of the car so when the car is travelling at high speeds the perspective will shift to the distance putting the car/cockpit out of focus.

True Driver's Experience – A variety of visual cues delivers the true driver's experience including a three-dimensional HUD that mimics driver head movement, inertia and G-forces.
