The game's plot revolves around the player, as he is the newcomer in town. The game takes place in Goldenwood, and the player enters the town, only to be mistreated by powerful street gangs. He escapes Palmont City after a fatal car crash.

Marissa helps out and guides the player throughout the story. The Golden Eyes, a Japanese street racing club is responsible for taking the player down, as they tipped off the cops. The player has to gain a rep throughout the city, and get revenge. There leader Akiro, hired Kenji, Angie, Wolf, and Darius into his crew.

As the player wins races, he challenges the bosses and won. He eventually challenges Akiro, and defeats him.

City Size and Weather
Goldenwood is the biggest map to date of any Need for Speed game. The game runs at 1080p, and along with that, the game uses the Frostbite 3 game engine. The weather effects returned from Need for Speed: Rivals, and a new Day and Night cycle is included.

Goldenwood is largely based on Las Vegas, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and New York. The city has seven regions, South Palm, Richmond, Downtown, Westminster, The Hills, The Countryside, and the Canyons.

Gangs
A list of the rival gangs in the game: * Major Gangs
 * The Golden Eyes*: The most powerful gang in Goldenwood, led by main antagonist Akiro. They drive a plethora of vehicle types and models, meaning that the player would need to prepare for anything.
 * VIP Nation: A gang that specializes in driving heavily tuned luxury sedans. They race well on long courses without many corners due to the weight of their vehicles, but said weight allows them to decommission police vehicles easily.
 * 2FastKrew: Quite possibly the weakest gang in Goldenwood, they specialize in Prelude and the Civic SI. They are well known for pouring their money into REALLY ugly body kits that actually lowered vehicle performance, incredibly bright paint jobs, and lowering their ride height as much as possible as opposed to actually putting on performance upgrades.
 * OuTLaW*: A gang that uses a lot of dirty tactics while racing. They range from the average shunts and bumps to literally attempting to ram their rivals into traffic and even going as far as attempting to KILL rivals and cops alike. It's no wonder they ended up as the most hated gang in Goldenwood. Their leader drives a heavily tuned Mitsubishi 3000GT.
 * Chupracabras: A racing gang that usually drives and specializes in Muscle Cars. They are well known for modifying classic cars, Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, and Tuners into lowriders. They're mainly seen in South Palm.
 * Road President: A racing gang that specializes in driving various generations of Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions, particularily the lighter Evo. III and IV iterations. They are mostly found in the Canyons partaking in Touge races where there are a lot of corners and so that the cops have a hard time finding them.
 * Rallye: A team that specializes in off-road driving. They aren't too bad on paved roads either. They mostly specialize in vehicles that were used in the WRC at one point or another, such as the iterations of Toyota Celica GT-FOUR, Ford Focus RS, Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, along with classics such as the Lancia Stratos HF and Renault 5 Turbo. They race mainly in the Countryside where there are a lot of unpaved roads.
 * Unbound*: A team that mostly races with European exotics (along with the occasional Nissan GT-R or Lexus LF-A). They prefer pouring their money into actually getting more performance out of their already good cars, and hate those that put too much cosmetic upgrades to their cars. They can be found in any region of Goldenwood, but they are based in Westminister. Their leader drives a BMW M4 equipped with a DTM-spec body kit. (Unlike other cosmetic upgrades, this body kit actually increases air flow and downforce, making the car faster and grippier.)
 * Speed Master*: A team from Tokyo that used to race on the Yokohane Line. They specialize in Japanese tuners of all shapes and sizes, and they frequently race along the freeways throughout the city. Their leader drives a dark blue Nissan Skyline GT-R R32.
 * Rolling Guys: Another team from Tokyo that used to race on the C1 Loop. They specialize in driving Toyota AE86s. Originally, their cars used to be rice burners, but after realizing the critical mistakes, they built up their skills to make up for the weak engine power of their cars (some members even managed to swap their cars' engines). Because of this, they're mainly seen in the Canyons and Downtown where top speed doesn't always matter.
 * West Coast Sharks*: A team that specializes in driving various American cars, both classic and modern. The members with modern vehicles have managed to break the barrier between American cars and good cornering ability, whilst the members with classic vehicles have modded their vehicles to accelerate on a dime. They're usually seen in Richmond, and their leader drives a matte red Dodge Viper SRT-10.
