The reviews said "don't buy, Uplay sucks!" I thought,"oh you whiners! how bad can Uplay really be?"

The millisecond you cross the finish line it tabs out to a huge "YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED FROM UBISOFT CONNECT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY TO RECONNECT?" You cannot get rid of this, you cannot fix it, even if you play the game in Offline mode, and it kills the entire feel and flow of the game. Ubisoft managed to destroy the feeling of crossing the finish line in a great racing game.
