NEW TRACKS - and what to do with them...
So, right now, we are currently under the v1.10 of the game and we had TWO 'new tracks' added so far: PORTIMÃO (Portugal) and SHANGHAI (China), but...
I've been racing online for several weeks now (mainly the Beginner Friendly lobby, just to try and enjoy the crossplay and near to full lobbies for the most part - also no contact, so no drama - yay), but I've NEVER saw Portugal or China in the regular rotation of the tracks..
So, it seems you can only race on these tracks online if you create a lobby and manually add them to the track rotation, right?
Not to mention they're also NOT available for the Career modes, from Season 2 onwards for those who run seasons of 10 or 16 races (so they can have a custom calendar).
I honestly think these are pretty bad mistakes (decisions?) and just a shame that the new tracks are NOT available for the 2 main (and most played) modes in the game: both career modes (regular & MyTeam) and online public lobbies.
Even IF there are some 'licensing issues' that are preventing the tracks to be used in these modes, this should be solved, because it's kind of pointless to have them (or any future new track) in the game, but not in the most popular modes..
But if the problem was just someone else's bad decision not to include them in these modes, please, rethink that decision and put them in these (and ALL) modes.

You might be right, but..
You talk as if you work at EA and whatever you say is 100% official and true (maybe it is, maybe it's not).
And all you did was help to kill this topic.
As I said before..
If you don't support the subject (or the request/suggestion) of the topic, just don't say anything.
Be more supportive, helpful and/or positive - to this or any other topic and people here in this forum - otherwise and once again, just don't say anything that won't help.
This was my final post about this particular (and pointless) 'discussion'.
(I'm setting this topic as 'solutioned' - you're welcome)
