You can mate yes.

Just got 3 perfect scores in a sprint race

Good ol' Mustang.

Couldn't get into the game a few minutes ago, just kept saying server not found :/

Touch wood I have only had 1 connection drop.

They did some maintenance (sp?) earlier this evening. Working on an 180SX drift build. Well, everything I make IS drift but I don't think pure grip will benefit that much as others just drift round the corners anyway..

Good thing about EA access you get to try crap like this and save wasting your money....

Indeed, I think its utterly crap.

Why no 60fps in this game what the hell

guess i will wait for the pc version next year.

Is there any way to start a single player game from the main menu? Hate playing open world racing games with other people online.

Played it for an hour or so and its already doing my head in.

You can't, its always online.

Once you're in a game you can choose to play alone in the settings.

I was wondering if there was a way to cut out the middle man and go straight to a single player game.

About 2 hours into this and getting bored, drive for 5 mins to a race and spend 1 min racing, rinse and repeat, does this change soon, seems very repeative so far.

Dougsnake · 7 Nov 2015 at 22:29

Well that was fun 10 mins to install played 5 mins then unable to connect to ea online servers and apparently I cant play the single player without being online what a great idea ....

To be fair I was very interested in this. Though watching YouTube videos I am not that impressed so may give it a go once it's cheaper. Game prices are ridiculous.

Second that

Born_2_Kill_83 · 8 Nov 2015 at 17:56

Am I missing something here....does the game just consist of doing the "!" marks which pritty much are the same races over and over, it seems very boring shame cause the modding and graphics are good.

The Slayer_UK · 9 Nov 2015 at 13:17

Trying to Drift on some of the drifting races is almost impossible and very frustrating, its not a bad game the modding looks good and graphics are good but so far the story line isnt that great as there doesn't seem to be one you go to the garage or the pub place for a cut seen which always feels pointless.

Superpatsy · 9 Nov 2015 at 13:56

I don't think the cutscenes would be as bad if the acting wasn't horrible.

It has grown on me quite considerably, though.

Been getting into this now after fiddling with the car set ups, now got an Evo with over 800bhp and decent at drifting, which I'm usually bad at lol

Only thing really annoying me now is how do you set it to solo play, what menu is it in as constantly get a good race going and someone usually crashes into me when there not in the race if that makes sense? Any info would be greatly received as it kind of taints a good game.

Go into Settings then Game Settings (I think) and you can choose to play alone in there.

Digital X · 10 Nov 2015 at 18:51

@Born 2 kill, pretty much yeah. The "!" are story missions, other white icons are repeatables.

Thanks, do you do this once u start a game like in the garage or at the start menu as dont see a solo option?

Sorry, should have said in-game. It's a pain in the trumpet having to load into a game to then pick solo, then wait for it to load again.

I'm hoping they add a solo option from the main menu.

They did in the beta. I was surprised to not see it in the full game too.
