Can this game be played off line?

Absolutely. It starts up in offline mode when there isnt a psn or xbl gold connection. Very little is lost in terms of functionality; it's a full-function game online and off.

You are able to play but you both have to have the game. Then you could use email battles or real time versus online.

I believe so. I've never played against another person offline, but I believe you can as long as you have two controllers, it should work.

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 , 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 some Android games offline that don't require an Internet connection. It does support the Android steam application, but I don't think you can launch games from the mobile steam application.

You can play it offline when there is no internet the only thing that require internet is the downloadable content the game itself doesn't require it.

It can be played by yourself against your computer without being connected to the internet. Have fun!

Yes. You can play the game with the computer. Obviously, you'd need to have internet in order to play with other (real) people around the world, though.EDIT: The other reviewers are correct in that you can also play a turn-based game off the same computer with friends.

They made off-line play available after the initial release. Every version should be able to play off-line now.

You can play if you select play without connection, and then play single player. Try by this way.

I believe you can play offline however you won't be able to receive any game updates and you won't be able to do things like upload videos or pictures to facebook or youtube, a cool feature in the game. Your stats can't be uploaded to the network so you can't see how you are doing against other players and also you can't play against another opponent online if you don't have it connected to the internet.

It can be played both online and offline! But to play online you have to make have Japanese region psn account. Offline you can play on any region account.

Nope. This is entirely off-line and can be played with the oldest, crustiest computer available in your closet. It is not flashy, it's very simple in graphics but it IS WORTH EVERY PENNY in quality.

At some point in time, you have to get on an internet connection at least once to activate it on steam. Although I don't know if there is a difference from activation to installation, but you should be able to just install it from the disc. Otherwise, I could see it being possible to play offline beyond that point, however. To play offline, just go to your steam folder in your computer and find the launch application. Otherwise, its not the end of the world, go to a friends house and borrow his LAN/Internet for a little bit to get it installed. Hope this helps!
