Need for Speed™ 2015 Prestige Mode - Full In-depth Gold Guide (With Commentary)

It's been nearly 6 years now since the game's initial release and I'm surprised no one has yet put together a detailed video guide for all Prestige Events. About time I made one - this guide will cover all essential facts and will make getting Gold in all 41 events a breeze.
Here we have all 41 Events showcased as part of the Need for Speed Prestige and Speedlists DLC all with commentary as part of this guide.
I went ahead and did all prestige golds on a sub account / this was my first initial playthrough and first line of Personal Records set on each event, so these aren't the best of plays here, but still good enough to help break down simple strategies.
Video also showcases and represents the CM Speedrunners crew / brand. A brand set on obtaining fast times, records and PB's on the games we take on. Wraps used on both vehicles in the video are based on the brand. More info about our website and Discord channel provided at the end of the video.

Biggest problem with all prestige events on this game is that when you’ve gone over the finish line the timer still counts down ever so slightly. The amount of times I’ve been milliseconds of getting gold on spikes was frustrating but after doing multiple runs I’ve gotten all gold except from torque on the town thanks to your video detailing builds and what cars to use.

[@Neg96]

Yea! I had the same issue with Spike 5, that was actually one of the top 3 hardest races I left for last. I think that the high slip build is a must-have on that event/ nailing smooth drift transitions will result in a higher accrued speedgain. You will just have to compensate for the extra milliseconds by doing very well on the course

[@adijay9743]

@@Neg96 yeah I’ve completely copied the build you used for it I’ve had a good few goes at it and I’m always a on the cusp of the targeted gold time…I’ve looked at your way of doing it and I’ve noticed I break too hard on the 4th corner which is the u bend I just need to get that down and am sure I’ll beat it…but for sure your video is best guide I’ve come across

3 years later, I came back to this video to finally complete the prestige mode, because I never ended it. This time I made it in less than 48 hours and finally end this challenge. Thank you very much for this insane guide, it is pretty useful and easy to follow.

[@rollercosta]

2 years later this guide is still helping people. Got all golds with the help of this video and Reiji's, the slip build you showcased helped out alot. Didn't end up using the F132 at all but that's my preference. Had to sub for the culture, keep up the great content king.

After 6 years I finally decided to give this trophy a shot today and so far this is surprisingly manageable. 3 hours in and I got gold on the first 6 Spike races with the help of this guide. Spike 5 took me by far the longest. Seems like I will be fine with the races but I'm kinda nervous about the drift events. Great guide so far.

[@Neg96]

Glad I could be of help

[@dnzprobr]

Same here. Started playing nfs2015 early 2019… got all trophies except this one. After playing years of payback, heat and HP, I decided to beat the game in another account I have… i actually got gold in most of drift events… then I decided to used my main account to try gold in all prestige events… so far all drifts are done except japhets something… will get there eventually. Now I’m focused on racing. Lets see how it goes.

[@GHOST_RIDER_18_]

I just got all gold under 30 hours, your video helped tremendously, if not for your help I would surely spend at least another 30 hours, really appreciate your work!

[@sizzlesteaks2447]

200 hrs later I got the "gold plated" trophy on PS4. I want to say thank very much for all the details you provided Neg, and this video is the most detailed out there. However, I will say the "drift" RSR build for the two recommended races were outright almost impossible to get used to. The "control build" RSR was fine but took some enormous patience to get used to and I ended up using the hotrod for many races instead. The finale took me 3 days of attempts, but the control build helped a lot. Overall, if anyone is attempting to go for gold then expect a lot of patience and practice for this very time-consuming trophy. I would recommend watching this vid on the race you are attempting and watching others do the race as that seemed to help a lot when I got stuck on a race. Thanks again Neg, gonna give the vid a like, and appreciate all the time and effort put into the guide.

Hey man, just want to thank you for the guide. Got the gold plated achievement yesterday and this guide helped a lot. A tip for the people that will try this achievement/trophy, if you use the RSR and feel like the tires are glued on the ground, just restart the game, I think that's a server bug.

[@IRoKxSilverChannel]

I ain’t gonna front, your guide help me a lot. I appreciate you like really. You the only person that went in depth in what to do and made things easier. Some races I was struggling by a hair but kept on practicing and boom. I would say I was struggling with each single event to gold but I was having trouble with drifting trying to learn the mechanics more in the game to get more fluid on turns and you made this easier. Even your builds helped a lot. The only build I had a issue with was your drift build, it’s not that it was bad but it was hard to control for some reason. So all I did was change the drift tires a step below elite and it was a game changer. After a while the drift events were a breeze I didn’t have much of a issue (the first one was a pain in the ass) but after doing it then I kept on going till I gotten another gold. Another thing that was somewhat difficult was using manual for drifting only. I tried automatic and it was just not good at all for points. Switch my settings and played with it for a while and it’s honestly better. Even though you mainly use gear 3-4. But after a while it wasn’t so bad and actually liked using Manual for just drifting. Even went online and won each drift event in the lobby 😂 I Completed everything in 63 hrs. I plat the game in 3-4 days with 17hr playtime and did other stuff before doing prestige. This mode is a beast but it’s fun and challenging and yes frustrating.. last time I was struggling was crash time trails which I think everyone knows how that is but I did it lol. So if I was able to 100 percent crash time trails then I could do prestige mode, plus I like a challenge sometimes I can finally rest easy after slaving for this lol. With work in between I would say I racked up near a week trying to complete prestige. Thanks 💪🏽 got a new Sub

[@Neg96]

Cheers man, I knew you could do it 💪 Crash 4 platinum relics next!!

[@IRoKxSilverChannel]

😭 man don’t get me started with crash 4. Worst time trails lmao. I only did the first game so far. I gotta do the other 3 when ever I feel like giving up my soul again, which won’t be no time soon after doing prestige

@@FarmYardGaming for me it isn't worth the effort but a few days ago I got 100% collectibles... these prestige races are a burden and they don't give you anything other than an achievement.

[@yosheeisdead]

I dunno if u still check the comment section But Thank u, u were with me throughout the whole golden walkthrough All of your builds and car choice gave me a helping hand Although, I used maximum slipping build for the lambo, but I got it. The most challenging ones were Manu 8 and Robin 7, because of Rng, Cops and Npcs constantly trying to play Flatout while drifting Amy segments were not so hard, Manu took at least 15 hours to complete. Last race was unexpectedly easy(bunch of restarts because of rng) Thank u once again 50 hours to complete

I guess another 190hrs of playing left. 🤣 Btw great video bro, without it I wouldn’t have achieved gold not even for a single run. Thank you!

[@santiagoalexander4764]

Thanks You for doing this vídeo was very usefull, today after almost one month I have completed The Prestige and the game to 100% Finally.. I just have to say Thanks for Made this vídeo. PD: On My poin of view, Robin 6 and Robin 7 were The most difficult Drift Events because they're so extremely accurate to make however Manu 8 aswell is difficult but no as difficult as them, Manu 8 is only pretty long, with practicing every event of Prestige can be completed.

[@yilinglaozu467]

Well my friend, 85 hours of gameplay and i m finally done with this prestige mode. Your guide really helped me a lot especially in the beginning. Thanks for your hard work and dedication. It must have been very hard to build up this guide. Btw i switched skyline r34 for drift events after trying with huracan a bit. In my opinion r34 better than huracan. The most frustrating event was Robyn 6 for me. It really took too much time to finish it up. Manu 8 was much easier for me.

[@Neg96]

[@Sondrex009]

Took me a good 30 hours or so to get this done. Your guide helped immensely! I think the ones I struggled most with was Spike 5, Manu 1 (sort of before I got good at drifting the Huracan), and Travis 1. xD My stubbornness did not allow me to buy the F132 for completing this, but I caved at Travis 1 and ended up buying it anyway lol. Having done all the previous using only the RSR and the Huracan. In my opinion I think Manu 8 is harder than Robyn 6 simply because of the length of the race as you really need to perform the entire way without breaking a big chain more than once or twice. However I do believe Robyn 6 would be the harder one when it comes down to pure RNG spawn etc. I guess I got really lucky RNG and got it on my 2nd try. The drifting became easier and easier in my opinion as I gradually got more comfortable with the Huracan and breezing past all of Robyn's events, while I struggled more with Manu's events. The finale was not as bad as I thought. After getting good RNG at the first highway through the tunnel I completed it with around 5-6 seconds to spare at the end. Even uploaded it as a memory of getting the achievement. xD Thanks again for making this insanely thorough guide. ^^ I actually also got the exact same time as you on Robyn 5!

[@nikolai7769]

Amy’s sprints were pretty hard, specially Amy 6, haven’t tried the drift events I’m planning to finish all the race events and do all the drift ones in bulk

[@dnzprobr]

my biggest tip is: use nitrous as much as you can. try to memorize “where to start saving nitro” instead of wasting 10s of race without using any nitro at all. I’ve been doing faster runs than most of the ones I’ve been watching on this massive tutorial 😁😁😁

[@Platinadores]

congratulations you are very good, I can not help me

[@WalkerMarques]

The most annoying thing is that you've got to cross the finish line at least 1 our 2 seconds before the targeted time. Because the race is only counted as finished when the summary window pops-up. You cross the finish line and it only pops 1 or 2 seconds AFTER you cross the finish line. That sucks. For example, on the third race, it's 1 minute and 9 seconds for gold. Countless times I crossed the line at 1 minute and 8 but still my final result was 1 minute and 9.62 seconds for instance. That's incredibly frustrating...

[@lilchinasoda3604]

So I’m using a evo and a rx7 to get the first couple races but I’m having trouble I even tried out your choices of car but it was worst, Should I just focus on tuning the cars right?

[@Neg96]

If you’re using those two cars to do this, then you’re a beast. For Drifts, if players don’t go with the Lamborghini Huracan, they tend to fall back on the Nissan Skyline. Yea Josh, definitely focus on your tuning - remember higher slip is key for the harder sprints (smaller transitional time)

[@gstarsv]

Wow this is impressive! Still I’m not skilled enough haha, how much you charge ?

[@Neg96]

Hey Steve (: it really depends on the amount of Golds you need. It varies by individual Gold Challenges and we also offer a full-stack package.

Excellent guide man, very helpful indeed! I see you use the Huracan for drift, and while I’ve heard it’s the best drift car in the game, I’m actually using the McLaren 570s for all the drift events.

can you provide the tune you used on the McLaren for drifting?

[@BacaraBoi12]

Of course, all of the dots are on the far left side (= maximum drift). On the nitrous, however, I put it one step to the left from the middle. This car is really good once you learn to master it, but I don’t know how it performs relative to the Huracan. If you’re on PS4, I can share the wrap I’ve made for it!

[@BacaraBoi12]

Just got the gold score on Manu 4 (3rd try). I don’t mean to boast or anything, but that’s gotta say something about the 570s’ potential, right? It’s the Huracan killer, I’m telling you guys!!!

[@sebastiancribari1611]

Literaly i did the amy 1 sprint in 1 attempt and amy 2 and 3 i did it really fast too. Spike 5 was so stressful.

[@Neg96]

Great man, you must be really good then

[@msigamingz4184]

Well, I guess the old ones get, the worst we play. I can't get more than 140k points even using your guide. Even with your settings, I need to use handbrake + brake to start a drift, and then the car just goes to side way to fast and to not lose the points I have to straighten the car. How do you do your drifts? do you brake and after do the turns or do it altogether? I need serious help.

[@Neg96]

It depends on the turn! If it’s a wider turn, a standard break is alright to do. Drifting tyres help with the slip. The more narrow turns require a handbreak drift to pull off like we see in the beginning part on Manu 3. Right, on turns you have to turn into it while also braking

[@ralphlorenzperolino3054]

I recommend that you need to watch Reiji's guide on how to complete Prestige Mode easily. That guy knows the routes and can drive like crazy without messing up.

[@Rodrigo-uc6yz]

I noted most if not all of the times recorded are late than the time you crossed the finish line

[@Neg96]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that. I just used the footage when I got my first Gold PB on each event. I slowed down a lot of the races to better explain my strategies, but I also linked my uncut vanilla video playlist for reference purposes as well.

[@Rodrigo-uc6yz]

For example, in amy 2 race you endend up in the finish line with a time of 2:03:46 and in the results screen said you ended up with 2:03:56, in the other races that happened as well, many people complain about that in the foruns, so if you crossed the finish line with a time xx:xx:99 you would not get the Gold because the game do not record your time properly.

Time refill 👍

[@FryzuxD]

My PB on Spike 5 was 1:51. Looked awfull. Used other guides till now, and managed to get 1:46. That's why i started to look for more help. With this guide i managed 1:44'12. And i struggle to repeat (and beat) that. I swear handling in this game changes every half hour or so. I do the same actions in same corners at same angles. Will i slide? Will i slide too much? Spin and crash to wall? Understeer and not turn at all, crashing into opposite wall? Lottery. And i do everything the same every time.

bro how you are drifting with this setup i cant drift like you the car dont turn please explain it more

[@Neg96]

You have to do either handbrake - assisted drifts or drifts with regular breaks depending on the curvature of the road. If you’re having a hard time slipping, use stronger drift tyres.

[@eganrabiee627]

I can't see what gear you're using for drifts cause the watermark for this video is covering up the speedometer. And does drift score always increase at a constant rate as long as I'm "in" a drift? Or does the rate of gaining drift score depend on how fast I'm driving or some other factor?

[@Neg96]

Yes, you gain a higher drift score if you manage to pull off a sharper drift and at a faster speed.

Only way is just practicing, use your experience from the game and learn mistakes/skills/reaction/adaptions & more on all the way and then you (will) can face the Prestige mode. The more your drive or do it the better your time attack will become, beacuse you will understand from your mistakes & win more millisecond every time, come closer into target and yeh that is good improve. ( So there is a thing that you have to adjust your playstyle into a ''real master driver'' you need to drive little bit of your unique style) well I think Prestige mode, it may just feel difficulty but is not that hard or intense you predicted or this is stupid/depression in this game. Just keep it maind that the (battle) race of your & Timer is the most important beacuse in order to reach that target ( is not before or later you wanted) it is by doing now. your reward always comes after you make it. But yes, at least drive your best & be confidence out there💫

Its a real tough update man and it requires a good run on the proper traffic and rival RNG. Less experienced players could get really good RNG but botch their gameplay which could easily cost 2-3+ runs until a good RNG race again. If you needed this handled, I can get it done for you no problem.

Damn... after 20 hours i only have the last 3 robyn's events.. and then the Finale.. any advice for Robyn 6 and 7? I think these will be a real pain in the ass..

[@Neg96]

Yessir, I’ve got lots to share in regards to Robyn 6 and Robyn 7. Very similar to Manu 8, Robyn 6 is all about finding out whether you do better staying in gear 2 for quick successive chains or if you do most of the race in gear 3. The playstyle varies from player to player, but the results need to be tested. This one is a multi-lap course, so you can determine your score average per lap and can multiply that average by the amount of laps it takes to finish the race. Robyn 7 is also a multi lap. It took me some time to realize this, but the small little curve heavily matters toward your score. I’d recommend restarting if you can’t get a clean drift on the small curve. I pretty much did lots of practice trying to get a solid drift on that one. Then across the entire course, I alternated from gears 3 and 4 depending on the part of the course I was on. Time is much tighter on Robyn 7 than on Robyn 6 so it also has a Gymkhana feel to it. The Finale combines many races you should have already mastered - CJ-Tastic, I Am The Law, Component Parts, Go Big or Go Home, Wide & Tight and a few more. That’s why the finale is recommended for last since you’ve mastered those other ones already. The time in the finale isn’t as strict as a few of the other sprints we’ve taken on so far. If you keep up the intensity and quality you had in Amy 6 “Legend’s Wheels”, you’ll get the time. Amy 6 is very tight on time.

“Already Drifting” isn’t enough. You need to carry out your drift chains by realigning your vehicle back in a straight position and back into the drift stance. You also need to combine a speedy overpass of the rival NPC’s with a narrow drift to accumulate score
