The career mode in Amped 2 is much like other extreme sport games such as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in which each level has goals for the player to complete.

In addition to these challenges, as the player progress through their career, they will be invited to events in which they compete for a top three finish which yields both fame and skill points.

Amped 2 features 14 top snowboarding pros, including Jeremy Jones, Mikey LeBlanc, Travis Parker, Torah Bright and Janna Meyen.

During career mode, as the player completes tasks, they gain skill points which increase their character's abilities.

This then translates to the player's Xbox Live character, therefore, giving individuals who have completed the career mode an advantage over those who have not.

However, in Amped 2, the host can choose to have either the winner, loser, or a random player of a session select the options for the following game.
