Each successive difficulty of race has greater rewards than the former. These difficulties are color-coded with green being easiest, yellow being medium, orange being hard, and red being hardest. Races have four difficulties: easiest, medium, hard, and hardest. For most of these races, players must race an opponent to the start line in order to earn extra rep (a leveling system used to determine the player's skill in the game) before the actual race begins, although this can be skipped. Los Angeles is said to be the longest of the four Midnight Club games, with more than ten different types of races including series races, tournaments, pink slip races, and freeway races. Developers placed great emphasis on the elimination of load screens, stating that the player could literally jump from career mode to an online race in under ten seconds.

Convertible cars, customizable interiors, in-game photo mode, and customizable exotics are all new additions. Motorcycles are again part of the game, including the Ducati 999R and the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14. With the RAGE system being used for this game, traffic levels fluctuate throughout the day, with light traffic at night, heavy traffic in the morning and afternoon, and heaviest traffic in the evenings. This also means that totaling a vehicle is only possible within a single race or event. To get back that 'nice, new car look', the player must actually drive back to repair their vehicle at a garage or gas station. If any damage is inflicted upon a vehicle after races, the player does not necessarily need to drive back to a garage for a full repair, but, instead, can choose the 'Quick Fix' option through which old, junkyard-esque parts will be added to the car. The new dynamic weather system has been reported to alter the gameplay experience, making the vehicle more prone to sliding on slick surfaces. New additions are a 24-hour day-to-night cycle, weather effects and traffic with licensed vehicles, adding a realistic aspect to the game. Midnight Club: Los Angeles is set in the city of Los Angeles, again providing an option to completely free-roam (in an open world environment larger than all the three cities combined from the previous game, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition).
