NFS Rivals number of players / game modes

[MrCrowling]

Hi There,

Im really confused as I bought the game to play with my friend on the same console. The description of the game indicates 4 players that can play on the sme console also with an option of co-op. In addition to that there is an online multiplayer option available. After I bought the game I cannot see any other option than online multiplayer to be available ? Whats going on here ? Cause I feel kinda cheated.

Cheers

1) NFS Rivals game don't have "split screen" multiplayer.

2) But you can play multiplayer with up to 6 Friends. See here how http://help.ea.com/en/article/need-for-speed-rivals-online-information/

Hi Mikimuster3,

I understand that the game can be played multiplayer but only "online" from what I can see in the link provided. My question is why on the game box says that it also can be played multiplayer "offline" on the same console with friends ?

Green info indicate offline modes on the same console and orange for multiplayer modes right ? 

Thanks,

I'd be curious to take a closer look at that box, because nowhere online can I find anything about local multiplayer. I've looked up the game's description on Origin and several news outlets without finding any mention of offline multiplayer. Could you share a picture of that box?

I will post the picture by the weekend when I have my hand on the box again, Thanks for the replies so far. Talk to you soon
