it's simple. there's no main menu (apart from pressing start to get to the pause menu) and you are constantly driving, so in order to jump onine, you press right on the directional pad, a menu flares up on the left side of your screen. you can look at several options, and you simple scroll to them and press right again to either select them, or progress through the menu. you can join a ranked or unranked race, or you can join a freeburn game, in which the host makes the rules (and you otherwise just drive around with the other players). you can host your own game, quickjoin an existing game, or look through a 'server' list of other hosted games and pick ones that you want to join. you never change from the city, and when you join a game, you simply connect while your driving at the same time. no load, no transition. you simply drive the whole time. (obviously there's a load/transition if it is a race.)
hope that helped.
