This is a very good read, @Mike458! Very nice finds you came across there!

This just shows how much the new MP is flawed and broken. The point about the boosted racers in MP is a real buge deal, as you will find that in the 1600+ MP League bracket pretty much everyone is using boosters.

What they could do is not only disable boosters in online sessions, but allow for 2 separate lobby types: one for boosted racers, and another for unboosted racers. Though, that would involve re-vamping the rewards system to accommodate this [but as you already pointed out, it needs a LOT of work].

They also need to stop recommending weak cars for bonus multipliers, since the majority of these cars have literally no chance of winning or even placing 3rd with the much bigger gap in car Rankings now.

Top Speed is the real killer here. we've seen cars that match rank, but the difference in Top Speed can be around 50kph or more! It's even more painful when the faster car is ranked nearly 40+ points lower but can leave the higher ranked opponent in the dust, even if both cars are tuned to the sweet spot.

Acceleration doesn't really mean much nowadays unless your opponents can't catch up, but it takes away a lof of the fun when you face racers who you know will catch up and wreck you like you're just sitting there, and this happens EVERY DAMN TIME.

Balancing is one major area that needs to be fixed, it's not exciting to face competition that either can't catch you, or will leave you in the dust. And it's especially depressing to know that NONE of your cars can compete against their OP rivals, and the only way you can keep up is to get your hands on an OP car that you may not necessarily want/like, all just to remain competitive.

Or better yet, have the OP cars in their own lobby, for instance. Purely because regular cars have so much trouble competing against them, it would make a world of difference for MP in many ways. OP cars like the Holden Coupe 60, 2016 Camaro SS, Shelby Cobra, TVR Sagaris, CSL Hommage, etc. would be excluded from regular lobbies and it would give regular cars a better chance at earning rewards.

And also a separate lobby for Elite cars too, so they either won't bully regular cars or lose out to them.

So basically, 2 different lobbies for : - boosted cars - unboosted cars

And sub-divided into 3 separate categories for : - regular cars - Elite cars [which require constant tuning] - OP cars [the ones that regular cars can't compete against]

OR, just balance the match-ups so they're even for all racers regardless of their tuning.

After all, it's great that players find flaws in the game that will [hopefully] lead to the game's improvement. Unless Greedloft really don't care anymore.

Still though, what a great read!
