im currently playing this in my Xbox one.
its okay. Yes its Online always and looks more of Real world time play. Meaning you can just drive in the real world and have fun without starting missions or races. but that also means you cannot really pause the game or look at the map on pause mode. This affects really negatively if you are being chased by cops.. (wanna find Repair shops? places to escape from cops? .. bad luck...cops can Bust you if you keep looking at the map).. so you gotta look for stuff FAST!!
It also has 2 modes called "DAY and NIGHT" you have to continuously switch between both in order to earn money and Rep.
Day :- You Earn Money when you do events on Day time.. but your Rep wont increase until u drive at Night..in Day time you have really less cops and they are less aggressive. You also get Unlimited amounts of Repairs(Car Damage) while driving in Day. 90% of day Races are without regular Traffic and has its boundaries..
Night :- This is where you play races to Earn your Rep and increase your level.You only get 3 Repairs a night.. and most of the time , Races include going thru barriers and incoming traffic. heavy cop presence and they are really aggressive .
