Need for Speed 2015 issues

Hello, so after playing the game a bit after it was unlocked on midnight I came across this horrible bug where textures would not load and I fall through the map. I played the game for a couple of hours more and haven't had that terrible game breaking bug happening again, but then again I didn't play any races I wasn't just roaming around in the city. I can't play for more than a couple of hours though, I'll tell you why down bellow.

The performance is nothing to brag about, if Iam honest...

I have a

i5 3570k oc'ed to 4.6 ghz

gtx 970 SLI

16 GB RAM

As you can see I have a pretty beefy rig, can run all the newest games on max settings without any problems. I have everything maxed out in nfs 2015, but even if I turn the graphical settings to the lowest possible setting Iam still getting this weird hitches and stutters, I have no idea what might be causing it. It makes the whole driving very hard, it's like the engine is trying to load textures and other assets on the screen. The most annoying part of this is that it happens randomly.

Possible fix for this could be, well it worked for me, disabling the SLI completely. It seems the game has a terrible SLI support and from what I can tell the game performs worse when SLI is enabled, so until nvidia releases updated drivers with a beter SLI flag I won't even play the game.

Next thing are the keyboard controls, you can't rebind all of the keys, customizing your vehicle is a massive pain in the *, why Iam not allowed to use the mouse for example? I had no idea how to quit the game either. I had no idea I needed to press backspace to enter the main game menu, lol...what a horrible decision by those who did the pc port...I mean the whole controls scheme is a mess, press backspace to enter the main game menu or press TAB to enter the horribly designed "smart phone" ? How about skipping the annoying cutscenes? Shoddy PC port I tell you.

Next problem are the buggy graphics, particularly the antialiasing options. Whenever I set the AA to TAA, the whole game just turns to an ugly blur fest. Not only the textures look like they've been smudged with excrements, but also some of the effects just disappear completely. It even gets better when I turn the FXAA on or the whole antialising completely off, the game decides to look like it's in 80's disco, everything is sparkling, the raindrops and reflections are horribly aliased and everything is shimmering like mad, even every single reflection is just a mess...Just give us some kind of better antialiasing methods to use please !

Another huge problem is the always online thing, The problem with this is the game lags quite a bit, the rubberbanding is very noticeable when racing other people I come across by accident... In nfs rivals it worked great, I loved that game, everything was clean and simple, working as it should, but in this game it's just bad.

The initial experience was very bad, the cutscenes can't be skipped and I couldn't care less about those characters or the story for that matter, just let me race dammit...Rivals was great, so was Most wanted, but this game is just, bleh...I might give it another chance though but Iam not expecting the overall impression to change significantly...I'll wait until nvidia releases better drivers and developers decide to give us more antiasing options...because right now playing the game gives me headache..
