Electronic Arts provided four solutions, which I applied all, but which didn't work on long-term, maybe it worked until I rebooted my Xbox One, if I remember well.
-But for long term, better to use an integrated solution; my NAT (Network Area Translation) having been moderate only, and UPnP not available, what is not optimal, despite a Gold-Live subscription.
-I finally found the solution, after 2 months, I think, and it is really simple..:
Normally, it fixes the problem; if you go in Settings --> Network --> Network settings: The NAT becomes Open, what is good for play abilities, and all the services, including UPnP, should be rendered available.
Normally, this makes the players pass the prologue easily for on-line game on long-term. This worked, for me.
(I did not try to play without Live subscription, but normally, Live subscription is additionally required).
Doesn't matter what you did. You got lucky. It is a EA server issue has nothing to do with xbox live. Did you ready the comments
@BossDad4Life442 Your inference is false. As if a defective server has nothing to do with the internet connection, but also that you have not set your Wi-Fi on, I guess the internet connection has to be set first. In this way, since the Microsoft subscription for online playing is said by the company to be required, I guess that it acts as a first barrier.
I don't really know what does your last sentence mean; it seems that you made your comment un-ready; your last sentence shall take a dot, as any other sentence.
@ARocksanneSwiss I'm sorry but your explanation of a "possible" solution doesn't really make sense. Those settings your saying to change are already set like that by default for most people, but since your account settings was set to a child's account you wouldn't have known that. Like @jcriver442 said you got lucky, but I doubt it will last.
@xboxbabe70 I am not interested in what makes sense in matter of working hardware - but in what works. I did not want of plays outside Live, because I wanted the most restrictive (and "thus" secure) system.
The fact that most people have set to adult account does not mean that this is these people who are having the problem of this thread, but the ones who have not understood. Moreover, as far as I remember, the adult account may have not the plays active outside Live - but I concede not-to-be sure of this last specific point.

@ARocksanneSwiss Had you read ALL the posts/comments for this thread you would have understood why me and @BossDad4Life442 know it's the servers, but let me try and explain this an easier way for you:
1) EA owns NFS Rivals, and the EA servers that make NFS Rivals work online, NOT Microsoft or Xbox live!
2) Microsoft owns XBOX LIVE! Xbox live is a subscription that allows you to play online with other people, THAT"S IT!
3) The game (NFS RIvals works without issues OFFLINE! That means it does not require Xbox live or an internet connection to work, (UNLESS you want to play multiplayer online against other players)
4) PROOF that it's EA Servers: the issue is across ALL PLATFORMS!!!
Which means its impossible that the issue is caused by Xbox live, Xbox settings, or anyone's internet connection, end of discussion!
