Let me make some things clear.
Nowhere did I mention this game is not a huge improvement, it is. The physics, although hilariously unrealistic work perfectly with the type of the game it is. The physics are the main reason I strongly disliked the last game. The ones in this game are pretty fun and easy to get used to.
They also put a nice effort into including much more visual customization options and also including the type builds (drift, drag etc.) which give the cars a whole new perspective.
Do not try to fix what isn't broken, and what they did with the performance upgrades of the game is the exact opposite with the speed cards. I mean, what's this utter nonsense with perks? Are we playing call of duty?????????!!!!!!!!!
The game needs big updates to the performance upgrades, it's way too complicated and most of it makes no sense. It does not need to be there. The conventional upgrade system has worked well for years and years, why change it?
Then we get to one of the biggest issues of all, Free-roam multiplayer. Please don't tell me that there's a workaround. People want an official BASIC feature, not a workaround which depends on people not readying up for a race.
