The Career Mode has been revised for this game. Rather than grinding to earn money to unlock new items, the game is based around Achievement-like "goals". Each goal you unlock earns you more fans for your band, and often unlocks new items of clothing or instruments. All songs are initially unlocked so that those who just want to play for fun can, while those looking for a deeper experience can tackle the "Road Challenge" mode, which has you travelling to different venues and performing song sets.
