Figured i'd share some info i found while researching whether to buy this or Most Wanted (remake). Apparently, Rivals is the opposite of Most Wanted in many ways.
Rivals has tons of good single-player content, the most ruthless cops in the series, and is very action-centric. The latter is what actually led NFS fans who expected this to be a standard racing game to dislike it and begin to call it 'Battlefield with cars'.
Most Wanted meanwhile is the opposite with a lackluster single player, barely any cops (or at the least lazy AI for the cops), and an overall feel that it's more heavily online-focused with the content.

Rivals apparently also has a prevalent issue with crashing and stability since it runs on an engine that is not designed for racing games.
