How to unlock the Race Day Leader achievement in Need For Speed ProStreet - Definitive Guide

As of April 13th 2012 this achievement is no longer obtainable due to server closure.

This is a way to earn the achievement by yourself.

I got tired of trying to find people for this Achievement so I decided to try something out.

First thing first, if you don't already have a couple extra accounts then go make 3 up before you you start anything, they don't have to be gold accounts but they do have to be live accounts.

Next add the 3 accounts to your friends list (you can remove them later). Now that you have that done throw in NFS Prostreet and go and create a Raceday. Make sure you set the Raceday up for SINGLE PLAYER, NOT mutiplayer or splitscreen. Set the rest of the options like which track and whatnot however you want, when I did this it was on a Raceday with only one drag race.

Ok so at this point you should have 3 extra accounts, the 3 accounts added to your friends list and a single player Raceday made. Now go to Share and share the Raceday with the 3 accounts that you made up.

Now before you sign out with the account that you want the achievement for, go back into Raceday and play the Raceday that you made and sent to the 3 other accounts, set the highest score you can (even tho it doesn't really matter that much).

Ok, so now you are the leader for your Raceday but the only problem is that there is no one else ranked on the leaderboard for the Raceday you made. This is where those 3 extra accounts come into play.

Exit to the dashboard to sign out of your account and sign in with anyone of the 3 bogus accounts you made. Fire up Prostreet and go to Share to D/L the Raceday you sent earlier, once you have it D/Led go back to Raceday and play it (Ranked). The goal is to finish the race with a lower score then the Raceday Leader, your score must be greater than 0 for it to count.

Then just rinse and repeat untill all of your accounts have raced on your Raceday and have set a score.

After you have finished everything wait 1-24 hours and then go back into the Raceday with the account that is in first place and play the Raceday again, as soon as your done with the race the Achievement should pop.

A few things that you need to make sure are done right.

1. Make sure when setting up the Raceday that it is set up as Singleplayer.
2. Make sure EVERYONE races the Raceday RANKED.
3. Make sure that everyone has a score, so if you are doing a drag race don't just get false starts with the bogus accounts, take them down the track at least once and make sure they finish with a score greater then 0
4. Do not delete the Raceday from anyones profile untill you unlock the achievement.
5. the achievement will NOT pop in the main menu you have to wait 24 hours (I think) and play the Raceday again with the account that is the leader and it will unlock after you are done the race/Raceday.

Edit: I have been recently informed that you do not need to wait the 24 hour period, how long you have to wait is unclear (maybe a few races or events) but you do not need to wait the 24 hour period. Credit goes to z71fox for the information.

You only need 2 dummy accounts (it says at least 3 players on the leaderboard) and you don't have to wait 24hrs, just make sure you make it and have all the competing parties post their times before midnight. Went you play after midnight and you are in first it will pop.

Thanks, worked perfectly for me, achievement popped up for me after i had completed the races with the dummies and raced one other event :)
And Oriole2682, if you create a new live account and use that to create a new gamertag on live, you automatically get 1 months free Live, so just create 3 new Live accounts which you will use for your dummies :)

This really works people - many thanks. Do exactly as stated in the guide. I signed out for a few minutes and then raced a couple of other events. I then did the race day again and it popped when I finished.

Didn't quite work for me even after waiting. I did this, but upon completing the race on the third extra account, the achievement popped for that account, which was actually last on the leaderboard. So after two days of waiting, I ran the race on my main account again, beating my previous score and it popped right away.

@matdan12, If it is not unlocking then you are doing something wrong, are you sure your Racedays are Ranked and Singleplayer, did everyone set a score? Read the guide again carfully as you might have missed something. Also read JDawgg77's post as it sounds like you are having the same issue he did.

@xMidget Furyx, I'm really not sure whats going on as I have not heard of this issue before, maybe its a server issue. All I can say is wait it out a day or 2 and hope it resolves itself.

Couldn't get this to unlock either; I'm going to wait a while and re-race it again even though all 3 peoples scores already show up on the leaderboard.

@xMidget Furyx I had the same problem I just restarted the game and it fixed itself.

For those having issues, did you set everything up before or after midnight? if it was after midnight, try waiting 24 hours and race the Raceday again.

@ xMidget Furyx, I had the same issue and fixed it as follows: sign in as your friended dummy accounts, then launch the game as them. Once you accept the terms to the EA Nation thing as each of them (this comes up when you get to the main menu), your dummy accounts will be visible to your legit account.

FWIW, I used 2 sliver dummy accounts (since it looks like they're not doing that one month of gold any more?). I placed the 2 of them and my legit GT on the leaderboard at around 19:30 or so. I went back at about 20:30 and got the top score on the leaderboard with my GT again, and it didn't pop. Then at 0:30 (and thus, the next day) I posted the top score with my GT and it popped.

This is obtainable until the servers close on the 12th. As they are currently back up again.

The fastest way to do this online (without dummy accts) is to Create a Raceday blueprint and share it to your 3 boost partners. While they are accepting it, run your own race at a ok, but not great time (1/4-mile drag works great for this). Then, after your time posts to the leaderboard go back to main menu and have the other 3 run the raceday that was shared and lose (must finish though and get some points or won't count, i.e., they have to post to leaderboard with something. A drive slow loss in drag, if you finish, is like 250 points.) Finally, after the other 3 run the raceday, the person going for the achievement re-runs their own raceday with best time possible so that you beat your old and everyone else's time. Then go back to main menu.

Pay attention to 3 of 5 of Rusty187's advice for "A few things that you need to make sure are done right.
1. Make sure when setting up the Raceday that it is set up as Singleplayer.
2. Make sure EVERYONE races the Raceday RANKED.
3. Make sure that everyone has a score, so if you are doing a drag race don't just get false starts or blown engine take them down the track at least once and make sure they finish with a score greater then 0.
For his 4 & 5...
The ONLY person that has to worry about not deleting the race day is the organizer. The challengers can delete after they run it, if needed.
Finally, this should pop straight away, if you do the two runs with the return to the main menu or at least within a few minutes - It did for the 8 of us boosting this cheevo.
Happy Hunting!
