tourist 12 Posted February 24 Currently career vs free play First invitational event (Mini Cooper on San Francisco Short Circuit B) 1st place career (not counting cost or teammate, to have a consistent comparison) = 18,750 CREDITS 1st place free play (again, not counting cost or teammate earnings) = 782 CREDITS (only 4.17% of career mode) this is on hard difficulty, no flashbacks, no ABS, no TC, no stability control, no racing line, manual shifting, interior cam, terminal damage enabled. All we are saying is that THERE IS A HUGE GAP between career and free play.. We get it, you want us to prefer career mode, but can we please have a more reasonable difference? only 4% payout means we have to spend +-25 times more time to unlock a car for same amount of effort? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ak1504 264 Posted February 24 (edited) @tourist Thx 🙂 Wow 892 Credits... Must be fun to save up for an 750000 Credits car 😄 Also weird that you get -50% Credits if you drive a career event a second time and so on... Kinda also feels more like a punishment as an reasonable game design decision lol Edited February 24 by Ak1504 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And i want to use the freeplay mode to create my own events and get a fair amount of credits for them. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tourist 12 Posted February 24 Tried different mode... haha if you thought 4% was bad. Sydney Motorsport Park - Gardner GP Circuit (3 laps) Time Attack event - career earnings (not counting cost, teammate earnings): 58,594 CREDITS - free play earnings (again not counting cost, teammate): 782 CREDITS (only 1.33% of career) If we were to take into account cost/teammate earnings the difference is even bigger.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CMTGK 112 Posted February 25 @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? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is so special about the Career mode that warrants a higher payout? Again, what am I missing here? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, what am I missing here? 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.

Ak1504 264 Posted February 25 So every race you did 2nd time is basicly -50% credits... So its around 0,5% of the career mode credits you get in free play mode atm 😄 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CMTGK 112 Posted February 25 Yes, replaying a Career event will give you half the credits you got completing it the first time around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GraniteRock 0 Posted March 28 I just played for an hour with one of those online stream 40 racer events and had lots of fun. The only thing I didn't like was losing $3500. Sure I hit alot of walls and I'm still learning. It's definitely a disincentive to play multiplayer when I lose $100-500 a race. Certainly there needs to be balance. But we don't need to kick those on the lower end of the leaderboard either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
