Agent screen update

There was new version of the Agent screen. It wasn't listed in the Updates screen but it gives a whole new look. The contents are the same, though.



















I might as well review the various offers on the Agent screen:

Receive cash (10 Prestige Points): the amount is always a little bit more than 4 times your current net income, so it's equivalent to 3 hours 20 minutes if you are a Bankroller, or 4 hours if you are not. This isn't terrible if you're impatient, but you might as well just put the game down for a bit and come back a few hours later and you'll have the same amount of money.

Refill Fuel/Focus/Integrity (10 PP): only for the truly impatient. All 3 regenerate quite quickly. Not recommended.

Unknown Container (50 PP): This gives you a chance at getting one of 9 different zero-upkeep cars (listed with their speed/handling):

Common (55% chance)

• Dodge Viper (23/14)
• Mitsubishi 3000GT (16/15)
• Ford Focus RS (14/18)
• VW Golf GTi Tuner (16/24)
  

Uncommon (35% chance)

• Plymouth Road Runner (30/20)
• Chrysler Crossfire (28/28)
• Ford Shelby GR1 (38/30)
  

Rare (10% chance)

• Infinity Essence (41/41)
• Alfa Romeo 8C (43/47)

(It should be "Infiniti" of course, but I wonder if this is due to issues with Nissan? They removed the Nissan 370Z and Nissan Skyline GT-R from the game.)

Buying this unknown container is probably one of the few Agent offers that is worth it, especially if you are at the very early levels, and 1 car makes a big difference. If you have 50 cars though, 1 good one is not going to make much difference to the big picture. Unfortunately they didn't come out with this unknown container option until I had reached Level 15, so I haven't tried it out myself.

Add 1 Crew Member (20 PP): Don't even think of doing this. You can easily find crew codes through browsing other users' profiles or by searching online. Here are a few sites with crew codes:

• Racing Codes
• Racing Live Codes
• Uber Game Codes

Change your Name (30 PP): Lots of people change their name to their crew code, or some variant of it. I'm not sure how effective it is because I haven't done it, but presumably it works, since lots of people do it.

Change your Class (50 PP): It seems to me Bankroller is the best class, since the game revolves so much around money and you get more of it if you are a Bankroller.

Reset Your Account (Free): This is not a bad idea if you're not too far into the game and you realize you have made some big mistakes in allocating Skill points or you have a poor race record and want to start fresh. You will not be able to get the special offer cars again, though.
