NO COPS IN MULTIPLAYER???? + Other whine (Yes I'm mad)

So my friend and I choose this game out of the free Simcity-****up-launch-games for one reason. Cops in multiplayer. Was happy to see it was among the games to choose from as we have been looking for a game that was more than just a linear racing game, but with an extra element (Cops!)
We skipped the single player entirely, don't enjoy single player games anymore, just wanted it for the multiplayer and now after 2 hours of multiplayer I feel screwed!!!! What a piece of **** garbage crap game is this?! Yes, I added extra immaturity because I'm pissed right now! What we knew about the game before we choose it was from the trailers and a look at the website. All you see in the trailer is one long cop chase, so naturally we thought that this was a cop-focused game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGS1K9mLPQ) On the website it talked a lot about an awesome multiplayer part as well. Adding those together made sense but no, some ****ing idiot game designer thought that it would be a bad idea to add cops to multiplayer (!?!?) 

We just had 2 long painful hours of getting "Takedowned" all the time by kids with microphones, which are on all the time because you can't mute your Mic in the game. Who does not include a Mute mic function? Stupid idiots! All I can hear is 12 year old kids yelling at their mom or some goth, listening to emo music. Had to manually mute 10 players each time we got on a new server. And 2 times we get "No connection to origin servers" ****ing big irony, comming from a week of pain at the Sim City servers..

And what kind of stupid way is it the races start?? As a new one, I was losing all the time. A lot of people clearly knew every race and challenge, so they knew which way to face and where to be when a race started and was half-way trough when I finally found the right way and people had stopped crashing me.

Wow, this experience didn't easy the pain after the HORRIBLE Sim city launch, quite the opposite!! Going from one **bleep**ty game to another. Which I had chosen Plants vs zombies or Bejeweled, instead of NFS which just pissed all over my day .I'm normally a mature well-spoken lad 😳 But EA and it's accomplices are just trying to kill me at an early age. If you have played FIFA, Sim City, Battlefield and now Need for Speed within the last 2 months, you'll know what I mean!

    So you basically bought a game for one feature that was never even hinted at being in the game? Okay.

    Haha wow, everything you say there just indicates that you didnt't read the post at all.

    First off, I would say it's hinted big time! All the game's trailers are about "outrun cops" and "cops here and cops everywhere". So they choose to cut out the selling point for the single player part in the multiplayer.. Okay... 

    And second, I didn't pay for it, thank god!

    My mistake in using the word ''bought'' but i followed this game pretty heavily since the anouncement and i can't remember anyone ever even mentioning anything about cops being in multiplayer, why did you not just go online, do a google search, find out it wasn't that kind of game and get another from the simcity freebie list?

    Well I didn't follow it from the beginning and I only spent around 15 mins on google before deciding. Saw 2-3 trailers all only showing off police chases, so I just thought it was like, the core of the game. And then I read their website which I would say mislead you a lot.

    Nowhere does it say "No police in multiplayer". Actually look at this phrase taken from their website (http://www.needforspeed.com/most-wanted#connected-open-world)

     "In Need for Speed Most Wanted, freedom is everything. Drive anywhere, explore the world, hang out with your friends, compete in challenges or toy with the cops. We’ve worked hard to design and build a large, open city environment around 3 fun ideas: Race, Chase and Explore" 

     

    Alone that + everything I saw from the trailers led me to believe that there would be cops in multiplayer as well. When there's so much confusion about it, shouldn't it be their job to state that they removed the feature they advertise the most, from multiplayer? I think it's a pretty important thing to inform about. 

     

    Don't know why you would defend them, you seem like an intelligent good guy, who could understand my frustration. But I get it, if you want to defend the game you like, but I'm not insulting the game itself, just the lack of what makes the single player so fun in multiplayer ☹️
