Story mode is fully playable offline with Multiplayer being a separate mode with separate progression.
Disc build issues we noticed:
some minor pop in,
challenge reward notifications showing up twice,
the reward screen at the end of each day not always listing the correct challenge with the reward,
in the week 4 menu the grands reward displays as a random car from the 3 qualifiers,
when unlocking the Subaru BRZ Custom the reward screen will say Nissan Fairlady,
opponent racers icon will sometimes show as a standard generic human silhouette on mini map,
some tutorial messages popping up twice,
during the intro of the week 3 qualifier during the reward car preview the car has a chance to not load in properly,
audio has a chance to desync during a couple cutscenes in the final week,
and the Takeover intro cutscene not having subtitles.
Despite minor issues this is a very solid release.
