When you start a racing game, do you start with the best cars unlocked or do you play the game to earn them?

Yes. Most racing games have an arcade/zero stakes mode were you can race with almost any game. The gated progression has been on a separate story/career mode since the early 2000s. Except, you know, on the scam live service AAA mtx whale hunting games.

Last nfs game I played, I started with a clunker and did missions to earn money to buy better cars.

You know what, I'd prefer if they took the playing part out and just gave me everything so I can stare at my cars and be bored because there's no progression.

Dude literally mentioned that racing games offer arcade (a number of things unlocked) and career (progression) as separate modes, dunno why you ignored it
