I don’t think you are being locked out.
All the extra rally pass content, apart from the extra moments, are cosmetic so you can take or leave.
I would agree that they should allow the purchase of the extra Moments, if people want it but I’m not bothered. I think there will be enough moments to keep me happy.
The amount of content upfront is just staggering IMHO.
In terms of Servers, EA are not unique in this. Servers get turned off when it’s not profitable to keep them going or they have little activity.
I think it is following the way DR 2.0 works which is that it logs you into racenet and Moments is online so if they shut down the servers you would lose both of those.
I think the modes that aren’t online by definition are offline, such as Career and Rally School.
In addition, on the PS Store it does clearly state online optional so it would be incorrect if the main game mode (Career) required you to be online whilst playing it.
