Here's the thing though: Asphalt 7 was basically about the same grind... but it was a hell of a lot more fun and you could simply get more money faster and get competitive cars a LOT quicker than you could get a competitive car (that only remains competitive for a few updates or so) and upgrade it. And the grinding there was FUN! Competitively racing is (in my opinion) what RACING's supposed to be about!

Leave farming to farming games; leave racing to racing games.
