While other mods for Need for Speed Shift have already improved the title’s graphics and physics, xupeko’s Pro Career Mod aims to extends Shift’s career mode.
Changes by this mod include changes to the race length by factor five, getting rid of the very short two-lap events. The required points to level up have also been increased by the same factor to suit the new race length, the prize money awarded for new levels has been decreased to further slow down the career mode and make it more rewarding.
Xupeko points out that this mod is meant to be used with Dario Morelli’s Real Mod 2.0b, installation is as simple as overwriting some files.

erm, I’m going to be diplomtaic here ;)
A 3rd party mod wont add a pitting option. Obviously you need to hard-code that into the game from the start. Adding a pitting option is nothing like changing default game values. Think about it.

I was replying to NVIDIAgeek. I pretty much agree on your comment in terms of ‘if only’.

Shift should have been in development for at LEAST an extra year.

Does this mod just quintuple the lap count in races?
Or is it both race and time trials?

Please note, that there is an updated version 1.3 beta, which you can download here
http://www.file-upload.net/download-1943739/Pro-Career-Mod-1.3-beta.zip.html
Extract the zipped file to your NFS root directory and run the pcm_install.exe. To uninstall just run the pcm_install.exe again.
Changes:
- I removed the bonus cars from career, which I tried to add in version 1.01. It is still buggy and other modders allready trying to fix it.
- I changed all “tap x opponents” achievements to “master all curves”, due to the fact, that it is less anoying and more simulation like.

Time trials are about 3 times longer than original.
3min -> 10 min
4min -> 12 min
5min -> 15 min
Hotlaps, Duells and Drifts are not affected, neither races on partial tracks of the Nordschleife.
