It’s August 2020 and your game still doesn’t load. I get you guys are money hungry but fix the game!! It’s been two years. And it inconsistently works. Either fix the game or give us ALL our money back for a game that doesn’t even work. This is ridiculous

@Traww973 EA forum isn't monitored by EA we are all just paying customers who try and help other players since EA doesn't properly support their products/services. Btw, it's been about 7 years since the game came out, and the issue is actually with the EA servers not the game. The game will work 100% offline, just disconnect your internet 2 ur xbox under your xbox settings and then start the game. If you really want to play online, you can disconnect from the internet, start the game offline, then once in your garage turn your internet back on but this is not a guaranteed solution. Hope this helps you! 🙂

EA is a garbage company for releasing something like this. Just contact Microsoft and they will give you a refund. I have a refund for the purchase wihin 6 hours of filling a ticket.

XboxBabe,
Thanks for all the suggestions this thread. I was playing need for speed rivals without issues for a week or so, I logged in, played a few races, changed games, whatever, no issues. A couple of days ago it started freezing at the loading screen.
Mine is available through my Gamepass subscription, so I can't play it offline. It's a shame, I was enjoying the game again (I had it on PS3 back in the day).
One thing I did find, is on xbox I found someone looking for a group and I joined that that. That bypassed the menu and i went into the ALL DRIVE menu, All Drive Settings, and changed Matchmaking Settings to Private Game and it seems to have stopped the loading screen bug!!!

Unfortunately, just like the fact that you were able to play for a week without any issues and then all of a sudden it would start freezing on you, the same thing will eventually happen while playing in private games also. It will work sometimes but eventually it will crash and freeze, which has happen to many others including me in private games. If you really like the game, you can always buy it ( its pretty cheap) and play offline since it's the only way to play 100% crash/freeze free. 🙂
