pause

Why in need for speed rivals is there no pause even in single player. I was racing and my mom called so i had to stop but i cant pause so i lost the race and got busted and lost all my speed points because i could not pause.

    PS - I appreciate and respect the "AllDrive" reason provided by the person whose name I forgot but whose avatar is an EA logo, and I respectfully disagree with it as I can't see it as anything more than a corporate excuse.  Plus it wasn't visible until I posted my reply...weird.

  • I was annoyed by the lack of a pause button too, but I figured out a way to leave the game in singleplayer without being chased by the AI:

    There are a few places across the map that allow you to park and hide from the AI, as long as you are not in a pursuit. They work because they are far away enough from the AI's normal cruising path to go unnoticed until you get back on the road.

    However, DO NOT attempt to hide from real players using these spots, as they can always see your location on the map!

    I've searched across the map and tested as much spots as I can think of, finding quite a few spots and compiling them into one post. Should I link you to my post?

  • uninstalled simply for this reason, otherwise seemed like an OK game 🤷‍♂️

  • @jjcjskhdbdidijbs Same problem. This game has no pause as well, and it's very annoying. I remembered that night, me and my family were eating dinner, I left the game there since there's no way to pause, and suddenly, I cop caught my while I was just resting near the garage. I didn't even earn anything yet, but it always starts at heat level 1. The cops are also too aggresive.
