What can you change on the NFS Underground 2 Browser start page?
The NFS Underground 2 Browser start page has its own settings next to the Play button, split into the Saves, Online, Friends & crews, Game and Other tabs. They control saves, shared free roam, crews, languages, the picture and the downloaded game data. Game tab changes apply the next time you press Play.

| Profile backup | Saves | Download backup, Restore | Keeps a copy of your profiles outside the browser. To save while playing: Esc or Start, then Garage, then Save. |
| Cloud saves | Saves | Enable cloud saving, passphrase, Load | Enter your passphrase to load your saves. The October 31 update lets the browser keep the passphrase with your passwords. |

| Free roam with others | Online | Off, On | Other players see your car and you see theirs. Races, traffic and money stay your own. |
