Need for speed world explained

Alright I said this was coming and I haven't really had time until today and even then I'm now sitting in bed posting from my phone. Most of the time for today was taken going over scheduling (more on that later when I have more on it). Now back to the original reason.
EA decided about a year and a half ago to release a new need for speed game, one unlike any other they had released, first it was going to be for PC only,  second it was going to be an mmo (not a first for the industry but more on that below), third it was going to be free.
The last part threw everyone for a loop, EA is going to make a game and its going to be free to play. Game changer, now playing in the game is really basic (explains the free part) and we shall move onto that point now.
The game is basic not going to lie. There are a few kind of races, sprint: from start point to the end point,  distance can very.
Race: basic racing 1-2 laps
There are a couple of races that are team based off of running from the police as a team in a time limit.
Notice no drag racing, or drift races.
Outside of racing you have your basic customization you can upgrade your engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, tires, and super charger. You can not tune the parts to make them run better.
You can change the way your car looks, colors, vinyl, rims, body kits, and neon. Only issue is most of these that look good require you to spend real money, no neon unless you pay, most body kits, rims etc, all money. 
as far as cars go there are three tiers of cars 1-3. Most cars can be bought a couple ways, some cars have a preset you can buy special colors and such, but you have to pay real cash, some cars are rental only you can keep them for a few days, they are good if you want to get some experience or cash, and then you have the good ole fashioned buy with in game money.
Now to the weird part of the game, the levels and experience.  You gain experience from winning races, running from the cops, and there is a daily quest you can do. Racing gives you more experience than from running from the cops, but finishing the quest should be done everyday if you can manage, the daily quest consist of collecting 15 gems from an area. Its rather easy to do if you look at your map and pay attention.
The key part of the levels is to control people buying higher cars than your level range so you don't get blown away.
And that's all I can think of to really sink into this huge post, anyone has any questions feel free to ask.
