I've heard that you have to be online all the time with this game or need to check in regularly and it can't be played offline, any truth to this?

On the PC version, yes, you need to be online. On the console versions, you do not.

I'm sorry to bring the bad news but yes, playing offline mode is single player only. The only way to play together would be to play online with another system and game :(

You only need to connect to the internet for the initial install. After it is installed you can play online or offline.

The pack is played through steam so you'll need to have an account with them first before downloading the game. All of this requires an internet connection but to actually play the games there should be an offline mode in steam's settings.

Yes, you can play without thw internet, but only the story mode.You don't get a disc. You download the complete game from steam, which installs automatically, hence, no disc is.needed.

yes you need to register. you can now play offline so you may not need to register but I bought mine when it was online only. there have been a few updates so you may not be able to get the updates without registering.

Yes, you can play it offline or online. offline you can play against either computers or i believe you can even play a turn based game on the same computer with friends.

Yes, you can play offline now. Still plenty of bugs that will likely never be fixed but the game is playable and fun.

Yes Zines, You have already answered your question. Although this game is so addictive, YOU CAN'T PLAY WITHOUT A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION BY ANY WAY, there's no offline game, even the main story needs a monthly fee. YES, it's a dumb. You pay only for a Blue ray disc with the game data and an online pass for 30 days of TRIAL, when those days ran out, a message like this appears "you have to pay a subscription in order to play". That's a shame...

You mean online with other players or just multyplayer with you and a friend against each other because it works well both ways for me maybe your internet connection may be the problem I've had this game for 4 months now works fine hope this helps

When I installed the game, I had to log into my steam acct and validate. It also had to download updates. After install, you can choose to play offline.

Yes, once you already downloaded it, the game as well as your saves, are saved onto your hard drive. So you can definitely play it offline.

You can download the game via steam, and if i remember correctly you can play offline but you will have to sign in to steam, please don't take my word for this I'm not 100% sure.

YES , you can play this game OFF LINE , these people don't know what they are talking about. The game has game save issues , but if you disconnect your console from the internet and play it like you would any other game your game saves will work because its not going through EA's servers then to cloud saving. All of your saves will go directly to the hard drive like they are supposed to. If you get busted by a cop or just wreck your car to much and are automatically sent back to the garage , make sure you exit the garage and come back in again because the game does not save when those two things happen. Always visit a garage before shuting down your console because that is the only way to save. Just play off line to avoid losing you save game data. Also don't listed to anyone that tells you there is no off line play because there is and the game functions the exact same way as it does online except you don't have live players running around it is just the game AI drivers which is all I need because the game is still tons of fun even without the online feature. Everything you can do online , you can do off line Except race live players.

You can play offline it just won't be connected to Steam, and a msg will pop up that says Steam won't be able to sync your game files from the cloud. That's the best answer I have from our little experiment we just did by turning off our internet and seeing if our son could still play and he could....Hope it helps!

you cant play other people online, and no 2 player....but the game is a online game where you try to top other peoples highscores all around the world that play the game, and they rank you the better and better you do, gotta get 3 stars on all levels or play to beat scores...very fun game
