NFS Rivals - Worth buying?

So i've been interested of buying this game for some days now. The gameplay looks awesome and i got so excited when i read customization is back again.

However, i,ve been reading alot of negative comments and reviews of the game, like deleted progress and that the "Always Online" aspect isn't that good.

So guys, you got the game, what do you think about it?

Thanks

:)

 

Burnout Revenge replacement?

MAYBE YOU CAN TRY NFS RIVALS

Any Active NFS rivals players?

 

I thought it was awesome! Took a break from Forza 5 while my wheel was being repaired and used this game to fill the time. Took me just under two weeks to complete everything. I thought it was a lot of fun! Rivals are cool. The Overwatch app is pretty cool.
I would definitely recommend the purchase!

 

I seen online gameplay and it looked all good however the reality is a little different. If you have friends to play it with I imagine it could be alot of fun but when you face trolls the fun ends quickly

 

@Crunchy What wheel was it as I am getting ready to purchase a racing wheel and there are not many to choose from for Xbox One and do not want it to break on me pretty much as soon as I get it set up.

 

I have the Thrustmaster TX. Got it way back in November. The first one I had broke but Thrustmaster was really good about getting me a replacement quickly.

I used a Fanatec CSR on Xbox 360. The Thrustmaster TX is a nice step up from the Fanatec CSR.

 

Best of purchasing the ea access thing as I reckon this game will be added to the vault soon enough!

 

The game is great, if you get EA Access Hub and sign up its free as well.

 

NFS: Rivals = Updated NFS Hot Pursuit (2010).

1) Ability to free roam, both on and offline

2) Fleshed out Cop and Racer storyline (while it may not be great, it has some story to it that makes sense)

3) Burnout Paradise feel (can refill weapons at nearby gas stations and repair car, semi-easy driving, fast driving but controllable)

4) NFSHP-style crashes (flipping and breaking apart epically)

5) Smarter AI (both cop and racer; extra units assist; racer suspects actually pose a threat as they increase in Heat)

Overall 8/10. Just feels like a more updated, better version of NFSHP from 2010. An upgrade.
