I don't think there are very many people left playing this. I know I don't play it anymore. This forum is slowly dying. I think the dedicated few of us keep checking in here to keep tabs on development, but as you can see many of the issues pointed out have been with this game since launch a year ago. Cries for fixes have gone unheard. Sadly, this game is as "good" as it's going to get.

Here's a suggestion. Do some testing before signing off on releasing an update!!!!!!

Started playing with a controller. Despite having no control over the gear shifting the car randomly shifts into neutral for no apparent reason. This game is a pile of ****. Once again, new features introduced, new bugs appear. It's absolutely hilarious that no testing whatsoever goes into these releases. I'd get fired if I signed off on such **** during a release.

The top developers aren't working on this game anymore. It's obvious they have a small group on this game that are simply "keeping the lights on" because updates do come, but they're minor enhancements of existing features. The proof is that the gameplay is eroding. I'm seeing more and more posts of bugs popping up on top of bugs. This happens when you don't have a QA team to do proper testing. The code will eventually collapse in on itself.

The devs stated very early on that the paid cars are cosmetic only. They just didn't say that anywhere IN THE GAME! You had to learn on this message board or on Reddit that those cars didn't actually do anything different. SO they had this cash grab mentality from the start. Their plan was to slowly roll it out and gradually put features that were once free behind the paywall. I haven't fired up this game in quite a while. The easiest way to send a message that this game is **** and that it should be scrapped entirely is to simply stop playing it. I know I have.

I can't upgrade the cards I already have, let alone them continuing to introduce new ones. Having to get over 100 of them just to upgrade for a mere 3 or 4 improvement points isn't worth it. I honestly don't even play this game much anymore, but I do keep checking in here to see what's going on with it. You're right, the current state of the game is awful. It's clear that the original development team has moved on to other projects. Whoever is in charge now doesn't seem to have any interest in creating any new core gameplay modes. They just keep rearranging or tweaking what already exists. Adding more laps to the races is nice and all, but with the AI as broken as it is you end up lapping the entire field multiple times by the end. It's pointless.

The difficulty is way off. I do the same thing. In the lead by lap one. By the end of a 15 lap race I've lapped the field 10-12 times.

Remember when this game first came out? Everything was free. Now more and more elements of this game are going behind the pay wall. Usually it's the other way around. I've never seen a game get more walled off over time. Also, we've been complaining about the ghost car for almost a year now. It's still there.

Yeah I guess I didn't look at it that way. That does make sense.

I haven't had a chance to play the new update yet, but as I saw from the backlash on Twitter you now have to pay credits to retry a session? Is this true? What a load of BS. Those credits trickle out as it is and now they're finding ways to get you to spend them as fast as possible. Another example of how each update makes this game worse and worse.

I don't think he's working on this project anymore.

Every game has a life cycle. This one may be near the end. Chris may not be working on this project full time anymore so that could explain his lack of responses. They may have something new in development. I honestly can't see anything new coming for this game that's going to be revolutionary in future updates. We'll never get a true season mode or a functional penalty system. The recent elite levels have just been tacked onto the current system, so that's not even anything exciting.

Max aero always for every game mode. No reason to use otherwise. Grid duels have been broken since update 2. You have to aggressively block at the start to avoid falling back to 12th. Weave back and forth across the track. You'll have to do it several times as there's a rubber band effect where will fall back only to come charging hard aggressively in sector 3. The game just isn't programmed well. Remember, it's not a Sim like the consoles. It's a casual mobile racer like all the others out there.

I think we're nearing the end of the life cycle for this game.
