How to unlock the That Perfect Moment achievement in Need for Speed - Definitive Guide

Actually, this isn't a hard achievement, and very likely it would pop without even trying during the course of your playthrough. The hardest part of it is understanding what the game asks you to do. THe thing is as follows:

Each time you do a maneuver that rewards you with RP, you'll see in the top of the screen that a circle fills its perimeter with a colour line. Your goal here is to make that circle have sectors of the five possible colours at the same time. That is, green (speed), yellow (style), blue (crew), purple (build) and red (outlaw).

This is how I did it, in the first few seconds of a race, which I believe is the easiest moment to do it: I started an easy "drift train" event with a tuned car with good acceleration.

Some good events for this are:

· "All for one" Drift train event.
· "Threading the needle" Drift train event.
· "Blue Kobra assault" Gymkana event.
· "Moonlight and mountains" Touge event.
· "Use it or lose it" Touge event.

As soon as the race starts, you'll get a purple "0 to 100" Build bonus. Situate yourself quickly behind other car to get the green "Slipstream" Speed bonus. In the first turn, drift, and you'll get yellow "Drift" style bonus and, almost always, blue "Drift train" Crew bonus. If all goes well, crash into another car or destroy an object at the side of the road and you'll get the red Outlaw bonus, either "Crash" or "Destruction" and, if you did all of it quick enough, the achievement should pop.

Same w/ Amy, on a uphill sprint - damned Live is blocking clip uploads as it's not out for another day or two ehe

Achievement description is so poorly phrased, assumed it meant max out all 5 in one go until it popped

Added a few of recommended events. As you said, the hardest part of the achievement is to understand what it asks xD,

Good description. I couldn't get it no matter how hard I tried. It ended up popping for me when I gave up and was in a normal race with Spike. Still up voted as I'm sure I couldn't get it your way because I just can't get used to the handling.

Thanks for the solution, for me I found the "Use it or lose it" Touge event the easiest to get this on.

There are 2 ideal sections, the first is going through the first tunnel, there are some easy bollards in the middle of the road, you can also nail a full tank of NOS and get a top speed bonus, so providing the other cars are near you, on the next hairpin, you'll get the drift and team for the 5 categories.

If that doesn't work, keep going as I got this one on the next section that as you go round a left hand bend, has a some destructibles at the bottom of the hill, mainly on the right, but there are also some on the left.

I tried the other event's but the competition were always too slow to get a good slipstream off, or there wasn't enough straight to get the top speed and tank of NOS off easily

My EA Access trial expired so I can't check it out for now, sorry. But as I said, the two easy drift train events should be valid. You can go to the menu (push cn_back) and then to "My NFS" and inside, in the "events" tab you can see a list of all events in the game. Check the drift train section and you'll find it easily, there are onlly 6 or 8 of that kind of event.

Also I believe I met the requirements for the achievement again in the first gymkhana of the game, one that is located near the garage and is classified as easy, Can't remember the name either.

For this achievement, you need to get a 5x multiplier at the top of your screen. This means you need to score Rep for all 5 different colors. The methods to do these are as follows:

Green - Slip Streaming (driving right behind another car) or High Speed
Blue - Drift at the same time as another car or Drive at the same speed near them
Purple - At the start you can get 0-60, going max speed, or you can deplete all your Nitro from full
Yellow - Drifting and Air
Red - Major collision or destroying street signs and the like

It's easy to do these at the beginning of the race (which guarantees purple), but it's very possible to do in a race. Simply follow along behind a driver in your crew and you should nearly permanently have Blue and Green. Wait for a turn you can drift on, then perform the drift and deplete all your nitro at once (it's best to have the lowest tier nitro since there is less to use). Finally, run into the other car or hit a street sign.

You can see my video below for the mid-race completion of this achievements. I had a hard time finding a good race to get this at the start.

This achievement requires you to earn a 5x multiplier by earning REP for all five play styles (Speed, Style, Crew, Build & Outlaw) at the same time whilst playing. When you perform an action that rewards REP, you will see the corresponding plays style colour show up on the multiplier circle on the middle of you screen. The actions that count for each style are listed below:

-Speed: Slip Streaming, High Speed, Clean Driving
-Style: Drifting, Air
-Crew: Matching Speed, Matching Drift
-Build: 0-60MPH Burnout, Max Speed, Empty Full Nitro Tank
-Outlaw: Oncoming Traffic, Destruction, Crash, Cop Chase

There is a high chance that you will have pulled off multiple perfect moments by the time you complete all 79 story missions by naturally playing the events. If you do not earn a perfect moment however, or you'd like to unlock this earlier, there are two main ways of earning this achievement; Drift Event method and Highway method.

Drift Event method will require you to play any Easy rated Drift Train event, making sure you have a well upgraded car. You will start off with the 0-60MPH Build bonus, you should then quickly continue to slip stream one of the opponents for the Speed bonus. At this point you should be approaching the first turn, go ahead in drifting around the corner which should gain you both the Style bonus and the Crew bonus for drifting at the same time as another racer. You will now have a 4x multiplier if everything has been pulled off quick enough, go on to quickly finish the multiplier off by either hitting an object such as a lamp post or by crashing into something to gain the final Outlaw bonus. 

The slightly easier method consists of a one to one race on a highway. A perfect event to do this on is Amy's Sprint race "A Legend's Wheel" where she will race you in a black Porsche, about halfway through the games story. The aim here is to firstly follow Amy to the highway, staying behind her until you reach the highway. Once on the highway, start to drive on the oncoming lane for the Outlaw bonus, whilst driving at high speed for Speed bonus. Continue to fully empty your nitro for the Build bonus, racing past Amy to get Speed matching Crew bonus then quickly pull off a small drift for the final Style bonus. This is easier than it sounds after a couple practice laps. The video below shows a slightly different order, but it is the same event. Video credits to InfectedMogwai
