Yes, replaying a Career event will give you half the credits you got completing it the first time around.

If this is the case, please report this as a separate bug in the Technical Assistance Forum using the template below:

Career events unlock more than just credits (some give liveries, badges etc.) and offer some exclusive one-on-ones (like with Alonso) and races against Ravenwest that you can't replicate in Freeplay.

@tourist - This kind of replicating, stats, and comparison are super useful, thank you very much for this. I agree, the payout in Freeplay is too low based on what you've shown here. You would expect the Career payouts to be higher than Freeplay (otherwise this would lessen the incentive to play Career) but these Freeplay payouts should, in my opinion, be higher. I've already got some of our team actively looking at this. Can you confirm whether the figures above are based on your completing that Career event for the first time or have you completed these events already and are re-completing them?

As mentioned here, @Ak1504, it's important to point out that this was an intentional change. The credits initially issued were too high (you shouldn't get 50K credits for a 3 lap race, unless for maybe a Showdown). However, for me to put a decent case to development in looking to get this amended I need facts and reasoning as to why it's unfair/too low. For example, let's say there was a 15-lap Freeplay event on Hard that only gave you 1,000 credits for example for coming 1st - I'd say that would probably be too low. For Freeplay, please show examples, and use something like this as a template rather than just complaining: - Platform playing on - Track/route used - Car class used - Number of laps - Difficulty - Assists used Screenshots are always useful, unedited footage even more so.

You'll always get more credits for completing the Career event for the first time and won't earn as many by simply recreating the same event in Freeplay. If you could earn just as many credits in Freeplay as Career, you'd have less of an incentive to play Career mode. As @ChrisGrovesMCM mentioned above, there was a change made to the number of credits issued but comparing a Career payout to a Freeplay payout isn't a fair comparison. I'm going to do some digging as to whether there needs to be some tweaking to the distribution of the credits in general (multiplayer payouts are low, as well). Whatever I find out, I'll report back here.

Just checking back on old bug reports, it looks like this issue was fixed alongside Season 1's drop. If you spot any more problems, please don't hesitate to get back in touch 🤗
