Features & Gameplay
NR2014 will feature similar gameplay to its prequel with minor improvements and the addition of two new game modes. When playing the game in Arcade Mode, players can use "Race Mods" which can make their car more powerful or damage resistance. "Rush", "Resistance", and "Flashback" will return as well as the add-on of two new "Race Mods": "Avoidance" and "Mobility".


 * Rush: Once a speed of at least 180 MPH is achieved, Rush will be activated. Rush gives a sense of speed to the player and does not affect the car at all.
 * Resistance: Used to slow down time during a crash. Though can only be used a certain amount of times during a race, can determine weather you win or lose.
 * Flashback: If you do get caught in a crash, Flashback will allow you to rewind to before the accident. However, you only get one Flashback per race.
 * Avoidance: If you begin to spinout, Avoidance will automatically turn your car around keeping it from wrecking or becoming airborne.
 * Mobility: Keeps your car from taking too much damage when wrecking no matter how bad the wreck.
