I hate to tell you that the game starting twice without crashing/freezing doesn't mean that it won't crash/freeze again. You would have to start the game and be able to play it at least 20 times before confirming it was 100% crash/freeze free (without going offline).

***UPDATED 11/13/20: It appears that since NFS Rivals is now part of Xbox game pass that the server issue is FIXED? I'm assuming EA games are now either using Microsoft servers to run the game and/or since Rivals is now part of game pass they have had to open and maintain more EA servers in order to accommodate the influx of players. Time will tell, but as of today I have successfully started and played Rivals twice without it crashing/freezing but this does not mean it is fixed only that it's possibly fixed, the only way to know for sure is to keep testing it. I will keep trying to start and play the game daily, and keep everyone posted. (keeping fingers crossed!) 🙂

*****UPDATED on 11/15/20: I am sad to report that the game is STILL crashing/freezing when playing online only! Since this happened I'm going to assume that the game is still being run on EA servers and that they are still either, a) not enough servers to accommodate the influx of players or, b) the servers are just not being maintained. ☹️
