I found it frustrating by NFS standards (grew up with Underground 2, Most Wanted, etc.).
The story is lame as it is poorly written and has no character development. Races are OK except drag (because there are sprint races thrown in it but you carve corners with your drag-prepped rides). Vehicles, when bought, are tired to one type of race and are upgraded (performance wise) via a system that is basically lootboxy and make no mechanical sense. Be ready to buy a turbo that improves your braking, for instance.
Quite frankly, for a modern NFS arcade experience, you're better off with Heat.
Appreciate the thorough answer
