Multiplayer Free-Roam

I have played this game for a week plus, staying up waiting for it to be released on 12am. I played and got so many cars and upgraded everything, was so excited about how I can show it off to my mates in multiplayer. Until after a week, we actually tried playing it and we found out there is NO MULTIPLAYER. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD TAKE THAT OUT OF A GAME?! Seriously EA, this game is really really close to being perfect and you guys just RUINED it by taking such a SIMPLE thing out of the game! WHY?! Makes no sense to me or to anyone here! I’m really hoping there’ll be an update very soon to this problem. Sincerely, a true fan who grew up playing NFS.
