Game itself its pretty nice idea. Cops vs Racers as a pvp online mode sounds very. Its a little mashup from hot pursuit and carbon, but the 30 fps cap and that you cant really change it to 60+ fps is pretty bad (When you change the simcap to 60 fps you wont be able to race anymore)

Ich bin Fan der Need for Speed reihe seit NFS 2 SE in meiner Jugend und bisher waren alle Titel die ich gespielt habe für ihr Alter gut. Aber Rivals kann ich persönlich aktuell nicht empfehlen und habe schon nach zwei Stunden Spielzeit abgebrochen, weil mir meine Zeit dafür zu schade ist. Und das aus folgenden gründen:

- das Game ist auf maximal 30 FPS gesperrt, sogar für PC. Und das merkt man detulich. Das Geschwindigkeitsgefühl und der Spaß ist für mich persönlich dadurch deutlich eingeschränkt. Man kann es zwar mit einem Befehl in Origin umgehen, aber das kann zu abstürzen führen.
- Jetzt im Jahr 2022 gibt es anscheinend öfter Verbindungsprobleme zu den Spieleservern. Zumindest war das bei mir ständig der Fall. Nach dem Reconnect lädt das Spiel allerdings so lang, dass einem die KI in aktiven Missionen schon längst davongefahren ist und man das Event von vorne beginnen muss. Dabei kann man diese so wie es scheint auch nicht einfach neustarten, sondern muss sie zumindest teilweise abbrechen und dann wieder zum Startpunkt fahren. Vielleicht hatte ich ja nur Pech bzw. waren die Server früher stabiler. Es gibt außerdem anscheinend die Möglichkeit offline rein mit KI Gegnern zu spielen, habe die Offlinefunktion aber nicht auf Anhieb gefunden und war nach dem Theater nicht bereit danach zu suchen.

Diese Punkte waren für mich so nervig, dass ich mich mit meiner Zeit lieber anderen Titeln widme und hat mich unter anderem dazu bewogen meine erste negative Bewertung auf Steam zu schreiben.
Vielleicht gibt es ja Leute die noch Tipps haben für Einstellungen, damit man mehr Freude an dem Spiel hat, dann gebe ich ihm vielleicht später noch eine Chance und ändere ggf. meine Bewertung. Also gerne einen Kommentar dalassen :)

Ein wirklich cooles Spiel!
In diesem Spiel hat man die Möglichkeit, sowohl mit Cop als auch Racer zu spielen. Die Story besteht aus 9 Kapiteln pro Karriere (Cop/Racer) mit je 3 frei auswählbaren Aufgaben. Um das jetzige Kapitel abzuschließen und in die nächste zu kommen, muss man diese Aufgaben erledigen, die auch zum Teil einfach sind. Die Autos sind Klasse, sowohl auf der Cop Seite, als auch auf der Racer Seite! Musik ist ebenfalls geil! Auch beinhaltet dieses Spiel Verfolgungs-Technologien, die in jedes Fahrzeug eingebaut werden kann und bis Level 5 aufgerüstet werden können. Auch ein nettes Feature ist das Alldrive. Das ist quasi Multiplayer, wo andere Spieler sowohl Cop, als auch Racer sind. Aber man kann trotzdem dort die Aufgaben erledigen.
Grafisch gesehen sieht das Spiel gut aus. Sounds sind auch nice und die Steuerung gut zu bedienen.
Allerdings ist NFS Rivals auf 30 FPS limitiert. Aber mit diesem Command kann man die 60 FPS freischalten: -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60
*Rechtsclick auf NFS Rivals > Eigenschaften > Allgemein > in Startoptionen einfügen*
Also ich würde dieses Spiel definitiv weiter empfehlen ^^

Der FPS lock auf 30 ist leider unglaublich nervig, man kann sich allerdings nach einer gewissen Zeit dran gewöhnen, wobei man allerdings auch durch gewisse Startbefehle die FPS auf 60+ steigern kann.

Zum Game an sich:
In meinen Augen ein sehr gut gelungenes Spiel, man kann eine unglaublich große Map entweder als Racer oder Cop erkunden und die Storyline sowohl im Single, als auch im Multiplayer spielen. Macht noch mehr Spaß wenn man sich mit ein paar Leuten zusammen findet.

Leider schade das so viele Spieler diesem Spiel ein Daumen hoch auf Steam geben nur aus nostalgischen Gründen.

Das System hinter Need for Speed™ Rivals gefällt mir extrem gut schon damals nur kann man nicht den Bug ignorieren das die Map während des Spielens einfach nicht mehr lädt und man gezwungen ist das Spiel neu zu starten. Es macht halt das komplette Spiel kaputt und EA scheint für ältere Games die billigsten Server anzubieten, denn dies ist kein Einzelfall.

Steam sollte sowas härter Bestrafen und die Spiele vom Markt nehmen. Es ist nicht einmal ein Early Ac. Titel und auch noch von EA. Nicht verständlich.

- Sony hat es vor gemacht und Cyberpunk 2077 z.B. kurzerhand vom Markt genommen.

Nur 30 FPS, für ein Spiel, dass ihr Ende 2020 (!) auf Steam werft. Wer zum Teufel testet und lässt diesen Mist durch? EA, Steam? Beide? So nicht!

Klar gibt es Workarounds, aber das kann ja nicht die Aufgabe des Zockers sein. Im Jahr 2020!! Unfassbar!!

Voller Bugs und Probleme,

man wird automatisch in irgendwelchen online Lobbys geworfen, in denen hobbylose try-hards in max. Level Fahrzeugen alles was sich bewegt anfallen und einem damit den Spielspaß nehmen. Dazu kommen noch Lächerlichkeiten wie der ständige Verbindungsverlust mit den Servern, die 30 FPS Begrenzung und Bugs wie das nicht in eine Garage fahren können.
All diese Probleme kann ich nur auf schlampige Arbeit seitens der Entwickler zurückführen und machen das eig. recht unterhaltsame Spiel zum Schmutz-Titel.

Für mich das beste Need for Speed Spiel. Nur Need for Speed Carbon kommt hier noch ansatzweise ran.
Das Spiel bietet ein super Geschwindigkeitsgefühl, alle Wagen fühlen sich anders an, es ist (für einen Autorenn-Noob wie mich) fordernd und gerade die Seite der Cops fand ich extrem spannend.
Leider bietet es nicht sonderlich viel Abwechslung, um aber 10-15 Stunden Spaß dran zu haben reicht es auf jeden Fall.

I've played many generations of Need for Speed including the 9th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 17th, 18th, and 21st generations. My evaluation is far less fun than the previous generation of Need for Speed 17 Most Wanted, police car teammates are too stupid, AI driver racing acceleration is always faster than you. Although it is a bad game produced by EA, it is still quite fun to play with friends.

Need for Speed Rivals is a Racing game, where you can be a racer, challenge others and fight against the authorities or be with the cops, be fast and ruthless against the criminal racers.

The game looks all right in my opinion, the effects and the environment looks really great. The Frostbite 2 engine is marvelous in general. The sound and music is okay too, the game has EDM, electronic and indie tracks which are pretty good for driving. The controls in general are not that cancerous, like in the other NFS games from the times. The basic idea with racers and cops in an open world environment is great in general. You get techs to use against your rivals in races or in pursuit, plus there are lot of opportunities to make your opponents life more miserable as a cop. The game has all right cut scenes too...

but my biggest issue with this game in general, that it feels empty. All you have to do in the campaign, is to complete a list of objectives. There are no story, no motivation, only Speed Points rewards, which you need for buying. For me, this is really not enough to play the game for the long term, however because this is a multiplayer only game (but you can still play against bots, if you want to), this gameplay wouldn't be that big of a deal, if the multiplayer works all right... but sadly it's not. Game crashes to left and right, sometimes the road missing and you get stuck in the game indefinitely, players looks laggy if and the game can't really sync them for the others, hit reg and damage calculations is unpredictable and sometimes lobbies just gets disconnected for no reason. Not even mentioning the game had issues launching in general. The menu feels basic, the map is too big for the players, the drift and e-brakes works bit weird in the game, especially the breaks which are really hard and the game is locked to 30 FPS (you can unlock it, but do that only, if you have a powerful enough computer).

I really wanted to like Rivals, but the whole game for me has no objective, no goal to achieve in it, which makes the game unplayable for me. I like the idea, but to be honest, if you want to play a cop vs racer game, just play Hot Pursuit, you will get a stable and fun experience. I can't recommend this game at all, not even on sale.

Sorry but I really can't stand 30fps. Especially for racing games, it looks and feels really awful to play. Don't understand why must the devs lock it at this frame rate :(

Verdict
☐ STAY AWAY FROM THIS!
☑ I would not recommend this
☐ You may get this on sale :)
☐ I would recommend this
☐ PLAY THIS BEFORE YOU DIE!

[9/10]

FYI I have a combined 230ish hours overall for this game, including my time on the PS3 and PC (EA and Steam) and have played it on and off since it I first got it in 2014, so I am not just playing favorites, it is legit fun af. (EDIT : The game is freeroam and has multiplayer, fun for friends.)

Pro

- Visuals : For a game that is coming up on 10 years of age being released in 2013, the graphics are amazing, paints sparkle and creating a stunning appearance for each and every vehicle at your disposal. Some of the shadows may seem unrealistic, but are also beautiful with every rain droplet that hits your car to the sun beating down on you, a scene that just gets better with time.

- Vehicles : The selection this time around was a bit smaller than the previous installment, being Hot Pursuit, but the cars that were chosen made it a great experience, each vehicle sounding better than the last and giving the proper feeling of speed that should be apparent in these games. Cop cars to me are one of the most impressive parts of this, having multiple variants of cars being quite literally a well, identical rival for the racer team, each variant having specific strengths and weaknesses to make you more efficient when hunting down criminals.

- Mechanics : When it comes to a racing game, the feeling when driving the vehicle is just as important as controlling them, racing/drifting at mind-boggling speeds has become somewhat of a drug-like addiction for me, especially for my younger 12 year old mind, just undeniably amazing. My favorite mechanic by far is the weapons (pursuit tech) that are able to be used while your out and about, improving on the Hot Pursuits rendition of this, creating much more than just a race, but a battle, fit for rivals.

Cons

- Bugs & Issues : For all the praise that I give this game, it was buggy as hell, even more so on the PC version compared to the PS3 edition which I played it on originally, in the form of real time glitches, the parts of the map not filling and crashing the users game contact is made using your vehicle, in most cases freezing until shutdown, but on the rare occasion of fixing itself which in my own experience only happened 10% of the time, furthermore the road models in some instances do not mesh together correctly creating a divot in the road sending the users vehicle into the air like a ramp, usually resulting in a wreck. At the time of this review I had played a little more to prepare for this review, and on one of my runs heading back to the Police headquarters to save and exit, the game froze, which had happened before, total of 6 times in my 5 hours on my Steam copy, and from what I've seen it doesn't save.

- Personal Issues : Need for Speed Rivals was more or less based with the Need for Speed movie which was also in 2013, bringing the silver Mustang that was front and center into the game, which at first seems very cool, a 900HP Mustang that's custom, awesome!! Well that's if it were fast... This game was also the debut of the 2015 redesign of the Mustang GT which was shown at the end of the movie, which has a little under 500HP in real life, compared to again, the 900HP NFS Mustang, but in game the 2015 Mustang is faster, and better stats wise in all categories, making the NFS edition a bit lame.

I've played every single game in series and it's the only one i hate that much (well maybe except nfs: most wanted PSP port).
You can't pause a goddamn game! Some moron thought, that it would be a great idea to make it online only even when you want to play singleplayer mode.
Also game is locked to 30fps only and you can't really change it without breaking game physics( which are broken in core anyways).
Not to mention that if you suddenly lose internet connection you gonna have to start race all over again.
Not recommended.

Still perfectly playable and solid experience in 2021. There are some things I didn't like.

- Framerate locked at 30fps. Simply disaster experience and simply not playable. Everything is so laggy and pointless. There is 60fps cap option to enable by using the launch options in library. This is a must have to do but because of that there will be some glitches in events like sudden canceling of races or broken game engine. In the second case the only solution is to reset game.
- There are occasionally pauses for migrating hosts of the game. Very crap experience because you lose momentum of the race and sometimes the race will not count and need to be restarted.
- Game is not hard. Its medium challenge and not even close comparable to some previous like Most Wanted 2005 or even Underground 1/2. Its more of a visual candy :) Events are simple and they look all the same. There are some minor differences in difficulty where other races use tech equipment for cars more often and there are more opponents but still easy to complete.
- Playing as cop is really boring and super easy. Only Pursuits are keeping attention while other 2 are crap. Racer Mode is better and takes longer to complete.

Even if it looks like there are many cons for this game its actually recommendable because of just how everything feels and that is the most important with racing games. Everything is super fluid (if 60 fps) and going past the cars is excellent feeling as it should be. If there would be just a little harder races where you finish race in less than 1 sec remaining the experience would be perfect even with lack of content. Graphics is really nice even after 8 years since release. Its a fact that all race cars once in game look the same and like there are no many uniqueness but still nice visuals.

All in all I would recommend for everyone that like the NFS franchise. 7/10

You gotta do black magic to make it work at 60 fps.

It's basically Most Wanted 2012 but you can be a cop this time. They somehow fucked up the HUD this time so it looks like the inside of a car but you can't tell what the fuck's going on now. MW2012's was good because it was simple.

The graphics this time are... Better..? I guess? I mean, the lighting is good, the map is fine, the 2015 reboot controls can go FUCK THEMSELVES, the online shit can go FUCK ITSELF, the 2015 reboot controls can go FUCK THEMSELVES AGAIN (PGDOWN FOR ACCEPT?! REALLY?!)

One good idea--the racer's scoring system--spoiled by a thuddingly dull cop campaign and dumb design decisions. Rivals feels like it's on the cusp of greatness. The pieces are all there--the handling is exciting, the soundtrack is solid, and the systems that surround the multiplayer help build meaningful battles between racer and cop. But with just six players driving around the entire world and no good way to pull those players together for some true multiplayer activities, those pieces go absolutely nowhere, leaving behind an empty world that might as well not even be online at all. It's a real shame.

A disgraceful PC port.

Having bought this recently, after not having played NFS games since about 2010 or so, I was hoping for some arcade style racing fun and more modern graphics. Alas, this PC port is terrible in so many ways.

- without initial tweaking, the game won't launch
- even after that, the game will have constant trouble launching
- as said by so many others, the framerate is capped at 30fps and workarounds make the gameplay glitchy
- the loading times are horrendous (it takes minutes to actually get into the game to play, and the loading times for entering, leaving or switching hideouts (which has to be done quite often due to the gameplay design) can take longer than the actual racing (if one wants to escape the cops and save their accumulated points))

This is nothing more than a soulless carbon copy (pun intended) of Burnout Paradise, with the same UI, controller mapping, and crash animation, that boasts real cars, daylight change and weather effects but has very little to offer in terms of actual fun gameplay. There is no story, no characters, the AI cheats when pursuing, and neither the cars nor the graphics can make up for all its shortcomings.

If you enjoyed Hot Pursuit or the original Most Wanted, this will frustrate and disappoint you.

Refund requested.

dont waste your money and time on this.

30fps cap [60fps launch command can be used but it breaks the game, causes lot random issues]
No pause menu [something is wrong with devs for not implementing!]
No customization just bunch of UV-mapped textures
No car upgradation its their but its super limited
Requires Origin and link Steam account to it [need to enter password everytime you start the game if you playing offline]

Visuals are great i loved it but cant give money to EA just for that.
The game probably be removed in next year I'm guessing since EA already pulled plug on old NFS titles and NFS MW 2012 is soon be removed too which is not on [i]summer sale. So if you are NFS collector then go for it.[/i]

-Score-
Gameplay: 6/10
Visuals: 8/10
Performance: 9/10
Overall: 7/10

Patrolling the Streets:

Developed by Ghost Games, Rivals feels like the natural successor to the work of previous NFS developer Criterion. (Unsurprising really consider the majority of the staff went over to the new studio.) It combines Hot Pursuit’s cops-versus-racer dynamic with the freeform gameplay of Most Wanted’s open world. In many ways it’s the best of both, although if you’ve played either of those a great deal, as I have, you may get a feeling of déja vu from Rivals.

Rivals takes place in the fictional Redview County, which has probably the most diverse geography imaginable. Within the confines of its map you can take in parched deserts and lush vineyards, upmarket seaside promenades and snowy mountain passes. It provides a welcome change of pace after the urban sprawl of Most Wanted, though I came to really miss those concrete labyrinths when I was outrunning the cops.

But it’s ultimately a tradeoff, with Redview’s long, winding roads setting the stage for some truly operatic chases that go on for miles. They’re better suited for drifting and pushing fast cars to their limits, like Hot Pursuit, instead of outfoxing the cops and hiding like in Most Wanted. It’s all about the ballet of the chase. It’s a shame there wasn’t room in this world for both play styles, as it would’ve given us more variety to play with. And very occasionally, I did find myself being spotted by the cops even though I’d seemingly given them the slip, which was slightly frustrating.

Each stretch of road is crammed with various challenges, including standard races and time trials, new cars to shut down, and records to smash. But for all of its gorgeous scenery, I found Redview a slightly less fun and secret-filled place to explore. There are no billboards bearing your friends’ faces to crash through, no super cars squirrelled away, and fewer jumps than previous games. And while there are a few hidden pathways to be found and the possibility of going off-road occasionally, I also found myself more frequently attempting to head off the beaten path only to be put back into place by an officious barrier. Most Wanted encouraged you to explore its train tunnels and jump off rooftops, but Rivals keeps you firmly on track.

The Fast Blue Line:

The story is intentionally incidental. (We’re a long way from the narrative pretensions of the woeful NFS: The Run.) Whether cop or racer, each chapter is structured around a speed list, which is little more than a series of objects. Rivals is eager to get you behind the wheel and onto the tarmac, giving a welcomed sense of urgency, and one of the best things about it is the ease with which you can switch between playing as a cop or a racer.

Hot Pursuits – high-speed races with the cops already on your tail – are definitely the pick of the available events. Time trials and races lose their appeal much quicker, especially after you’ve already driven down the same stretch of road countless times.

Rivals is tremendous fun, for a while, but once I got to grips with its weapons, unlocked more of its ridiculous cars, and became intimately acquainted with the map, it didn’t have a lot more to really show me. The map is fairly big but when you’re driving at such high speeds, it’s easy to see a big chunk of it in a single pursuit. It definitely continued to excite me, but stopped surprising me quite early on.

No matter which side of the law you choose, there’s a garage full of high-powered super cars ranging from Aston Martins to Ferraris waiting for you. Handling is fun, responsive, and accessible – even newcomers will soon be able to slide around tight corners with a little practice. There’s also the option to soup them up, with high-tech gadgetry including spike strips and mines, shockwave blasts, and knuckle-whitening turbo boosts. None of the weapons are particularly memorable or iconic, and while they’re useful, you can’t really beat old-fashioned ramming.

Pros:
Dazzling graphics
Intense chases
Accessible handling

Cons:
Bland weapons
Lacks variety

Verdict:
Lack of story line, almost none.
only good with friends due to much online content but if u r buying for story, this is shit NFS of all time.

Need For Speed : Rivals came out in 2013 I'm writing this review in 2021 and reading this review you probably going to think - Why are you talking crap about a game that is almost 8 years old? Well I would dare to say that this game is bad even for 2013.
So going in to this I was kind of exited because I haven't played a Need For Speed game in a while and when I launched the game I got even more exited because the cinematics looked amazing but unfortunately this is where good things ended. First of all the default controls are beyond stupid but that's easy to change so I'm going to get in to it that much. Now when it comes to cars there's not much I can say that is positive. There is a total of 33 cars witch is not a lot and the customization is very poor no spoilers, bumpers, skirts etc. One thing I found weird is that after driving a tiny bit I noticed that there is basically no traffic in places when you should have trouble driving through and I mean no traffic like in a 8 lane highway you might pass 2 or 3 cars. of course there are some positive things about to like for example it looks kind of nice graphically and.. and... well that is about it. Usually I rate games on different things on a scale from 0 to 10 and then I say the over all score but I don't even know what to do with this one. All I'm going to say that this is a poor game and I'm glad that I got it for 5€ on a discount because this is exactly what it's worth.

P.s This is my personal opinion and you can disagree with it.

idk why this game got so much hate, its not a great port but you can fix it to do 60 fps easily and if you play widescreen like me thats also not hard to fix, the gameplay is incredible and it gives me the adrenaline and rush almost like that of most wanted from 8 years before it- also the game is gorgeous, the map is one of the best of all nfs, love the dynamic weather/day and night cycling, and how dynamic the gameplay is in general with how cops or races can start basically at any time

Locked at 30fps, can be forced into 60fps mode but then the races don't work. It is a really good game as I played it for hours on XBox 360 years ago, but this makes it very difficult to play if you are used to 60+ fps.

I rarely give a negative review but this game is simply not good, at least not for me
beside the nostalgia, the game itself isn't fun
there's not much of a story beside the repetitive objectives, horrible controls ( or i couldn't figure out how they work )
the graphics are fine, its locked at 30 FPS by default but there's a quick fix to it.
the online features don't match the gameplay, and you can't pause the game
it still requires origins launcher to play but its not an issue really.
i don't recommend this game

The game is good, but you should search the internet for how to activate 60 fps, as it is possible to activate and I don't know why EA has never released an update to fix this. Unfortunately there are a lot of online cheaters in this game, so it's not uncommon to see cars flying at exorbitant speeds or making insane and impossible drifts. Overall it's fun, but then I would say it's too repetitive.

This is basically NFS Hot Pursuit with forced always online feature.
HOST MIGRATION...

It was exactly what i expected, you can control the cars reasonably well, Racers and Cops have both great gameplay.

However: This game forces you to play on 30fps, there is an unreliable fix however which sometimes disconnects you from the race because of it.

The last inceptor mission as a cop took a total of 10 seconds.. very disappointing.

Just follow the steps on how to increase the fps and you will be good
It's my personal review so we may not be the same.

Update: PRO TIP - Set your fps to 40 ONLY


Reason: I noticed when playing at 60 fps, game physics are broken (faster emp locks, light speed helis, weird multiplayer cars due to different fps caps) and drifting is very hard to do within it.

By setting it to 40 fps, drifting is hella easier, game physics are ALMOST normal just like the 30 fps but tiny
bit faster, and the fps doesn't hurt your eyes, at least for me.

I hope this helps and have fun :)

It is sad to say, but I don't like this one at all. You get the complete edition which means you get the fastest Lamborghini from the start, which completely ruins the progression experience. There are a lot of cars, but they are useless without upgrades, so there is a lot of grinding if you plan on switching cars. Every race starts with the other racers driving passed your parked car, which has no sense and I find it annoying. There are a lot of cops chasing during and after almost every race, you can't restart the race because of that, you often get busted because of the car getting wrecked after being hit by all the racers and cops. It does not feel like a racing game, it feels more like Carmageddon and I don't want that from a NFS game.

Limited customization options - Cop cars can't be customized and racer cars are limited to just paint jobs and simple decals.

Host migrations happen frequently - Your game WILL be inturrupted randomly, and often at the worst times.

More AI than players - Players are rare compared to roaming AI, you'll often run into an AI racer driving on the wrong side of the road or be constantly chased by AI cops that are easy to avoid. While this gives the lifespan beyond the death of the community, it also undermines the very appeal of the game.

Complete Edition = Completely Unbalanced - Because the complete edition contains all the DLC, you'll be given overpowered end game Ferraris and Lamborghinis right from the start. This completely ruins the progression of the game.

30FPS Locked - Yup, you just have to deal with it I guess.

Maybe buy it on sale for $5 or try it with your EA Play Subscription but certainly expect all the limitations outlined above.

TL;DR: This is first and foremost an arcade racer. I recommend it, but you should only get it on a sale.

Not one of the best NFS games, but one of the less bad ones.

The graphics are pretty good for a 2013 game and they still hold up okay. The soundtrack is fine I guess and the other sound effects are good.

The map is kind of small and not really that spectacular, but it gets the job done for a short play through.
Overall the gameplay is fun, but the handling takes a while to get used to. There are a few types of races, but they feel kind of similar and after a few hours the charm fades. It really feels like a combination of Hot Pursuit (2010) and Most Wanted (2012), but not all that cohesive. As far as the gameplay loop goes, you buy cars, upgrade them and then use them to get more money to buy more cars and so on. I really like the risk vs reward mechanic and the races feel cool because you can wreck other cars (racers or cops) using tools like the EMP.

Notable downsides:
- capped at 30 Fps (can be unlocked to 60 Fps via launch commands, -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60.0, although I think this breaks one or two events)
- always online (can't pause outside of hideout, even on private session)
- peer to peer (if the host disconnects the game migrates hosts and stops whatever you were doing)

If you can look past these faults, the game is worth a play. A bit of mindless fun never hurt a casual gamer.

-Meh driving
-Dumb AI compensated with unbalanced superpowers and damage levels
-Dead world with one or another racer to challenge, without fast travel (like on you know, MW 2005, carbon, undercover, and MW 2012) making you pointlessly loose time driving from one place to another with the possibility of an annoying cop trying to get you in the way
-Unsatisfying progression based on farming-grinding dumb AI, or purchasing a time saver pack because pay2win
-30fps lock and physics / gameplay breakage if forcing higher

My experience is only on the racer campaign, maybe the cop campaign is better, but so far the only good thing about this game are its graphics

Maybe try to get it on discount to play with friends, but as an stand alone NFS experience, it is the worst i've had

the cops in this game are stupidly overpowered and unrealistic. They have so much health and do so much damage, which is fine, but then somehow they can keep up with me on the highway when im going 280 mph when i turbo. The cops are everywhere, the more you drive, the more cops you get chasing you. One crash? your car will be locked in place and freeze for like 5 seconds, and the horde will suround you and smack into you. when the game gives you back control of your movement back, you'll be at critical health and the cops have a bust meter and it will already be half way full because you were locked in place. losing the cops is a nightmare and often just requires luck. they have super human vision and can spot you through trees/walls etc. at this point i really wish there was a free drive mode where cops were disabled along with speed points, that way i could just enjoy the driving and the map with out having to worry about annoying pests that swarm onto me and ruin my fun

The smooth controls as well as great action packed environment feels really good! The turbo initialization sound & the cut scenes are the best! xD You can't play the game in 60 fps as it's capped at 30. But oh boy! that would not stop the fun! The sound effects & the tracks chosen, are fucking mind blowing. It synchronizes so well with the game! Cons are there are some bugs that are really annoying at some points. I don't know why EA abandoned this game after making this good. It had so much potential.

Already tried 5 years ago. this was its second chance.
And it failed.

pros
+ A good selection of supercars
+ The open world is large and well-builded
+ You can be a criminal or a cop
+ You can customize the car with weapons or decals (decals only for criminal)
+ You can simply take a ride and enjoy
+ car sound and soundtrack fits perfectly

- it's a console-port with every single downside of this EA attitude
- car physics is quite broken
- a lot of unsolved bugs
- the game becomes boring too soon
- the career is a copy-paste from Hot Pursuit
- there are better NFS arcade games out there

Good graphics, fun driving, ok AI, large map, open world. Even today you will still find 100+ players. About the 30fps lock, just put this - -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60 + into launch options before you start and then it is fine.

Visually the game is amazing, almost anywhere else it fails greatly.

- The controls feel sluggish, especially for an NFS game, it almost feels as if you press a button and your car reacts a couple of seconds later.
- Only two camera positions.
- Physics are gone down the drain entirely.
- Car customisations are like colour change and a few stickers.
- Awkward maps and GPS controls

+ The cop career seemed a bit promising, only played the intro level with the mercedes and that was enjoyable
+ Racing with other people online / coop
+ The cops were difficult to beat

Overall I cannot recommend this game due to it's sluggish controling of your car and limited pov cams which ruins the fun.

Right click the game in Origin/Steam and select 'Game properties'. Copy and paste the following:

-GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60.0

If you have the horsepower and can run @ a stable 60, you might want to try full screen AA. Add the following onto the end of what you just copied and pasted:

-Render.ResolutionScale 1.2

Play around with what works best for you; 1.1 is minimal and 2.0 is beautiful but extremely taxing on your hardware.

If you're reading this, you're probably also a NFS fan for over a decade. Normally all NFS games have their ups and downs, so let me express my opinion on this installment from 2013.
Rivals is a very fun NFS to play. It is similar to Hot Pursuit when it comes to pursuit mechanics, but the feeling of the speed and aggressive driving is much more prominent in my opinion. Cops are very aggressive, therefore you have minutes of fun and aggressive cop chases. You feel the pressure cops make to you more than the games came before it, but my favourite is the cop career gameplay. It is very engaging, so you always want to drive more. I especially like the Ferrari FF cop car, it is agile and looks stunning, easily my favourite. Two more seats mean two more busts :) Jokes aside, I'd recommend you to unlock Enforcer units first. They have great strength and durability without losing speed and acceleration too much. Like in Hot Pursuit, cop and racer cars are different and only some of them feature both variants like Vanquish. You get 911 GT3 as racer and 911 Turbo as cops. I think this is cool and adds variety to the game.
The cons of the game may not be crucial for some. You can't pause the game which can be a nuisance when you receive a call while playing or need to go somewhere. I think they could've implemented it. The other con imo is the car list. While the cars in the game are brilliant, there are few cars compared to other installments, but since the cars are meticulously chosen and both careers feature different cars, you don't get bored of them.
To sum up, I really like this game, ironic, because I wanted to hate it since I thought it strayed away from the soul of NFS. But I was wrong. I had as much fun as I had in Heat, with much cheaper price and less HDD space. I definitely recommend it, it's 7 years old but it aged as good as Hot Pursuit. Sorry for the long text, I wanted to give more details than my old reviews.

A racing game locked at 30 FPS... my god that's just terrible. Game doesn't seem to detect my Xbox controller. You can't even pause game in single player mode. It's a real shame, the game looked really good though

Negatives:



1) 30fps lock


This was the most frustrating of all. You can get around the 30fps lock by putting this command into the game properties on Origin: -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60. If you have a powerful PC, you can also add this command after to increase the game quality: -Render.ResolutionScale 2.0 (you can change the number between 1.0 and 2.0).

2) Game stutter


Since this game isn’t supposed to be running above 30fps, there are certain areas in the map where it causes the fps to drop. If the fps gets slightly below 60fps, it will start to stutter a bit.

3) P2P (Peer to Peer) servers


It’s very frustrating when you’re in a race and the host decides that they’ve had enough and just leaves. You can, however, get around this by changing your settings to a solo game.

4) No racing wheel support


The game doesn’t support any racing wheels at all. I would recommend just using an Xbox controller.

5) Lack of car customisation


There’s no car customisation like changing spoilers, hoods wheels and all that. You can only do basic things such as: changing your car colour, the rim colour, changing your number plate text and frame, stripes, decals and liveries.

6) Physics


The car physics aren’t that good. It uses tap to drift which I don't enjoy.

7) Events won’t launch at 60fps


1 event doesn’t work at 60fps for the racer side, and is called Sunset tunnel (Race). Basically you end up abandoning the event because the game is at 60fps. Locking it to 30fps allows you to complete it.

8) Bugs


Sometimes you can fall through the map or the road ahead won't render. Going onto it can cause the game to freeze.

A direct X message called GetDeviceRemovedReason sometimes comes up while playing. This is because the game has used up 100% of your GPU, which causes the game to freeze. Putting the textures to medium fixes this problem.

9) Song selection


There are 29 songs in total, and most are bad and forgettable. The only song I liked was Pompeii by Bastille. It is the Krazy Kat remix which I’m not a big fan of.

Neutral:



1) The story


The story is forgettable and is about the rivalry between the Police and Racers. I guess it’s better than not having a story at all.

Positives:



1) Risk/Reward system


This same idea was used and modified in NFS Heat. Instead of using bank and rep, Rivals uses Speed points. Speed points are like cash which is used to unlock things for your car.

The longer you stay out in the world as a racer, the more speed points you get. Doing events lets you get speed points more quickly, but getting busted means you lose everything.

2) The graphics/level of detail


The cars are all modelled very well, and each biome (forest, desert, coastal, snow) all look great. Also, seeing the rain drip off your car is a nice touch as well.

3) Day and night cycle


The day and night cycle has actually been done very well. Seeing the sunrise and looking at some mountains in the background with a sky that is a mix of blue and orange is a nice sight to see.

4) Dynamic weather


NFS Rivals features a dynamic weather system, and this means that the weather could change all of a sudden. One minute it could be sunny, and then suddenly it’s raining extremely hard and a thunderstorm is coming through.

5) The map


You have your many different environments, along with long winding highways where high powered cars fight against the Police. The map is also not too big, but also not too small where you feel as though you don’t have enough room to drive around.

6) Seamless player/AI integration


You could be a racer in a race, and suddenly you pass a player who is the police, and they can suddenly start chasing after you.

7) Head to head system


Simply driving next to an AI racer or player, and you’re able to hit LB on the controller to start a head to head race with no loading screens.

8) Police chatter


The police chatter is surprisingly decent. Some things that are said:

•Dispatch who tells you from time to time that a nearby officer needs your help as they are
chasing after a racer.
•Your Police officer will announce from time to time that they are starting a patrol sweep of
an area that you have entered.

Conclusion


Need for Speed Rivals is a decent game. It looks and sounds good, and has a detailed map to race around in. However, the game is let down from time to time due to its performance and technical problems.

I recommend getting this game when it’s on sale at 75% off or better. All in all, I give this game a 6/10.

Similar to Hot Pursuit.
Still plenty of people playing online :)
Don't forget to apply the 60fps fix (else it's stuck in 30fps)

Refunded due to a bug which EA has known about since launch. Sadly randomly the game will hang and you will need to restart the application before trying again. Go too quickly again and it will hang.
Such a shame as its a great looking game, but not if you cant play longer than 5 minutes

My friends and I arranged to get this game 'NFS: Rivals' only to find out the appealing multiplayer feature is unplayable.
For example, my friends and random players were found out of sync as well as glitching everywhere ruining the multiplayer experience as well as making it unplayable.
I have tried this game at multiple different sites with good quality internet with no success.

Game is a buggy mess. Steam and Origin's overlays fight for dominance leaving you unable to launch the game until you disable one of them. Once you've solved that bug get ready for more as now you'll be unable to choose which side to play as; let alone the multiple menu problems. But are you really surprised about this from an EA game?

Sadly I dont recomend this game.

this game is not optimized for PC and is a clear console port.
your FPS is limited to 30 FPS. there are ways to increase it to 60 but this is not a good solution. in some area's of the game it completly slows down and has massive FPS drops.

there is no real progress cause the only version on steam is the complete edition wich has most things already unlucked. wch was a bummer for me.

This is not that bad of a game. It is a direct sequel to hot pursuit 2010 imo with a edgy storyline. What boggles my mind is how they capped the fps to 30. You can use launch commands to increase the limit to 60 but that causes some really annoying glitches. For example, if you're racing and your fps drops down to 59 the game will abandon that race/event for you. So in theory you cannot do any events because the game is not designed with 60fps in mind. And no its not my pc. Like I said, its not a bad game. I have played it on origin and PS3 as well for a reason. I just cant recommend this because they lock the fps to 30.

I would like to recommend this game as it can be fun but there are too many issues holding it back. First issue frame rate locked to 30fps with no in game options to unlock it, second issue constant disconnection from game sessions and host migrations this can happen at any time and is really frustrating if you are close to finishing a race or hot pursuit, third issue game constantly crashes for no reason, last reason game doesn't pick up button/key inputs on both controller and keyboard sometimes.

I have never seen a game with so many glitches. I have reinstalled this game three times. No other games on my computer have any issues whatsoever. This game crashes constantly. If you have the slightest chance of going into a rage when the game goes black as soon as you're about to finish a race in 1st place, then this game is not for you. It happens on a daily basis. You could be out scoring SP points for an hour and a half but try to bank them at your hideout and NOPE. Game goes black. If you love kissing all your time goodbye for absolutely zero payoff, you'll probably enjoy this game.

However, the new NFS Heat looks sweet.
