Autolog for it will be dead in a year, or when the next title comes out. Have you tried accessing Autolog for anything but Most Wanted, lately? Like for The Run? Or Hot Pursuit? You cannot. You will be told to buy Most Wanted.. So I really don't know how Autolog could be considered a good thing.
They are saying "seamlessly switching from single player to multiplayer" = another title bound by always online DRM. Which coming from EA is a terrile thing, considering their supreme lack of supporting their old titles. If you buy it, expect it to be unplayable in a few years, when they kill the server for it. You will be basically renting it for a few years at most.
As much as I am an avid old time fan of the entire Need For Speed series, I have like 10 different ones dating from NFS IISE all the way to The Run, I will avoid this one like the plague!
EA have completely aliented myself and just about everyone I know, that play video games, the best they will ever get from me, is an odd bargain purchase of one of their old titles, maybe on GoG.

lol.
Personalization – Drivers customize their ride with fresh paintjobs, custom license plates, liveries decals and rims, as well as performance upgrades.
Fresh paintjobs seem to be more important than performance upgrade. Eh! It's a racing game after all.

Teaser Trailer.
Source.
EA has officially announced the latest in its best selling racing series. Need for Speed Rivals will be a collaboration between the newly formed Ghost Games and racing veterans Criterion Games.
EA confirmed that it will be coming to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, making it the first game in the series to burst onto next-generation platforms. It will be powered by DICE’s powerful Frostbite 3 engine, and it will continue in the open-city racing fashion that Burnout Paradise and Need for Speed: Most Wanted have already established.
Need for Speed Rivals will also feature what is known as AllDrive, or this latest game’s version of seamlessly switching from single player to multiplayer. Criterion has made this a top priority in all its open-world racers before, so it remains to be seen how well it can pull it off on the next-generation connectivity.
Other new features include:
Next-Gen Racing – Redview County is brought to life with stunning, next-generation detail.
Need for Speed Network Powered by Autolog – Gamers can compare stats and challenge their friends anytime, anywhere and then easily share their accomplishments with both friends and rivals.
Personalization – Drivers customize their ride with fresh paintjobs, custom license plates, liveries decals and rims, as well as performance upgrades.
Pursuit and Evasion Tech – White-knuckle racing explodes with 11 upgradeable gadgets including turbo boosts, jammers and EMPs for racers, and shockwaves, roadblocks and helicopters for cops.
Need for Speed Rivals is set for an November 19th release for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and PC. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will be released shortly after that and will have their dates announced once an official launch date of the consoles are known.
