I've bought this game yesterday with Need For Speed pack on Xbox One X.And indeed...,it fails...,doesn't matter if you do the tutorial or not,if you don't want to play online,just turn off internet on Xbox,and then go offline in the game.
In options select multiplayer off.Exit the game,turn on the internet on Xbox and you are able to play (offline in game).

Same here. This is terrible. Wouldn't have expected this for a game that old. And then they even put it up for sale, probably being aware of this.

SOLVED : It worked !!! After one year of agony and frustration. I tired restarting console, deleting and reinstalling again on internal and external hard drives. Nothing worked.
So this is what I did that worked. I don’t which of these steps worked but you might as well follow the same pattern.
1- I went to games icons/pins in xbox. Clicked menu for NFS RIVALS , “Manage games and add-on” for this specific game . On the left column it says Saved Data. I deleted that saved data. Don’t worry Its going to download again from cloud. I deleted mine from xbox and server both, when it asked.
2- But what I really think made it work was this one. In one of the solution from EA it says “ Clear persistent storage “ something to do with Blu ray setting. I KNOW. What the hell Blu-Ray setting has to do with game .. Right. But as soon as I did cleared that, the next time I started the game, it was WORKING !!!.
1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Select System > Settings.
3. Select Disc & Blu-ray.
SOLVED.
Just in case, Here is the link which tell you to "CLEAR PERSISTENT storage."
