It simply lacks the long-term motivation

Each game has a different trick to motivate the players. Be it to get better by Story, unlockables or the urge.
In Rivals so completely missing something. After about 20 hours of play, I really wonder what I actually play.

For the story? I'm sorry, that is an absolute joke. Sometime this a "racer, cops, honor, destruction, destruction" -Gefasel goes only to the eggs.

To unlock new cars? It's the game no matter whether you now travels as a racer with the Porsche Cayman, one has from the beginning, or with the McLaren P1, the opponents adapt to the players. It is more likely that the race with the Cayman are the easiest because he rarely the 250 km / h exceeds and is always easy to control. So you need theoretically the whole game on a new car purchase. What the developers thinking? In general, I do not understand why the entry-level car is a Porsche? How is that supposed to motivate nice when I start directly with a 325 horsepower car? I always found it more beautiful, work your way up slowly. As a cop you even get all the cars in vain, money has no end.

Improve their own ability? Well, this is simply the random factor much too high. Police, oncoming traffic and the massive rubber band AI makes almost always that you have no influence on the outcome of the race. One gets rare because one drives perfect, but because again overtaken all opponents just before the end. It may therefore well be that one of 9 minutes there is a race with a time and loses, restarts at the beginning of 5 times and then crashes First is though you drove a total of 10 minutes. Just because the AI ​​moves exaggerated slow if the player is behind you sometimes just overhauled with 400 things, if the player is in front.

Further criticisms still happen that these "weapons" in part just nervous. In the beginning it can still be fun, but when you constantly EMP gets in your face and nail boards gets thrown on the cover, even though you just cozy ITT wants that thing is fast frustrating.
The Mutiplayer is also such a thing, when I ask myself what we for now have to pay fees online. Ridiculous 6 players, of which 1 is automatically host. If the host leaves the game (and this often happens), there is a host migration and the race is over for now.
It could have been so nice, with more than 6 players and servers, but we very rarely goes to a player on the way.
The game has really disappointed me. And, although I really scaled down my expectations after recent parts on. sometime you just get tired, no matter how hard you tried.
