Getting the same lack luster experience here as well. Jump online and it shows there is a full room of racers but as I go over the map before leaving the garage I only ever see 3-4 people racing around the map at any given time. Not sure if the others are just away from keyboard but even the people who are actively racing are lagging so bad its like they are not there at all.
This game looked like it had so much potential but I feel like I've been just driving around solo versus the A.I. the whole game.
Hopefully this issue gets fixed. Between this and BF4 which i purchased i'm feeling pretty let down by EA
dissapointed.
