MEETUPSMeetups in Lakeshore Online are where you get set up to prove your skills and show off your machine. Entering an online Meetup provides you with multiple race playlists in which to compete, with different tiers of cars required. Some are Single Tier Race Playlists, meaning only one Tier of car is required. Some are Mixed Tiered Race Playlists, so one race may need a Tier A car, while another needs a Tier S+ car. You’ll want to build up a stable of rides with different tunings and Tiers to guarantee you can compete in every online Playlist. You can always use a loaner car, but that’s like wearing someone else’s shoes. Completely up to you - or you can be a collector of fine racing machines. For each of the Race Playlists, you’ll see multiple events such as Street Races, Speed Races, and Corner King races, just like the race types in the campaign found at Meetups. Once you roll up to a Meetup and initiate a Race Playlist, you can invite everyone on the server (first come, first served - you snooze, you lose) or you can just invite members of your party. Up to seven other racers can join the race playlist. Once the first race in the Race Playlist starts, you’re in it to win it. Don’t back down. Win the Race Playlist to get the biggest payout - and the more racers in a Race Playlist, the more money there is to win and Bank. You can receive invites to a Race Playlist any time in Freeroam. If you’re in your garage, you’ll see the invite and can join from there - as long as you’re not too busy customizing your ride (or checking out some threads for your driver.)

Rip PvP in NFS Unbound.
This is the exact same story as NFS Heat back in 2019.
This is so sad.
From what I said in another thread:

It frustrates me that NFS Heat never did have a proper PvP system in the game like Speedlists from NFS 2015 (NFS Reboot) and NFS Payback. I would had played NFS Heat a lot more if it did have PvP.
From what I read in the IGN article:
"Multiplayer, meanwhile, has been tuned to be "as low friction as possible." When you go into the multiplayer mode you can drive around the world, meet up with friends, or just mess around. While there, "people will be pinging off race requests and playlist requests and you can seamlessly join any one of those events at any time,”
It sounds like NFS Unbound could have the exact same "PvP" system as NFS Heat.
In NFS Heat, you start a countdown for anyone to join the race you selected. Nobody joins. Then you restart the countdown several times in hoping someone joins, which nobody joins or just one player joins if you are very lucky.
Sounds it's gonna be the same story with NFS Unbound from what the IGN article describes.
Such a shame that NFS Unbound won't have a proper PvP system like Speedlists and will just have the same flawed system as NFS Heat.
