You know something, though? In a way, even though they keep introducing new cars and the odd new track every now and then, in a way it almost seems like they're either not even trying anymore, or perhaps they're trying to lessen the appeal of Asphalt 8 in favor of Asphalt 9.

Because, right, I don't really see any justification for not including these new-ish tracks in QSR mode. I mean, forget about the fans who want to get some quick practice in for certain tracks in preparation for TLEs or to improve their skills for MP races. I completely agree that Area 51 and Rio de Janeiro are long overdue, in fact it disappoints me even more that they've improved the graphics quality of said tracks in recent updates but for some strange reason, not chosen to include them in Solo play modes. What even is that?

For Patagonia however, while I also would like to see it added in, it would be wise on their part to optimize the track a little more so that it runs more smoothly. I've resorted to playing MP races on that track with the lowest graphics settings so that I can get half-decent performance out of it. The lag can be a serious and costly problem when I've saved a ton of points and I either start a race too late with no chance of catching up, or I see other players teleporting all over the place. Or worse yet, I might mis-time a drift, barrel roll, flat spin, etc. purely because the lag gets in the way and I either get wrecked or knocked down by players with better connections.

It's a shame because I think it's a pretty sweet-looking location. This sometimes happens to me in Rio but not as frequently.

AND the car decals. That simple '8' stripe is played out now, and a lot of them are either too bland, or just re-hashed onto other cars. The MP League rewards seem to recycle certain decals almost each month, and even Daily Login Bonus decals either offer boring choices or give measly amounts of Credits as compensation. Very rarely do we see any decent ones that are worth getting. Their decal team must be low on creativity more than anything. There are even still cars that were released over a year ago that still don't have decals.

Perhaps if they had like a competition for decal designs that players could vote for certain favorites to be added for certain cars, that would be great. Oh, and if the decals didn't cost more than the cars that they're made for, that would be even better! (ex. the ED Design Torq)

In addition to your last point, what if it was taken a step further? Like where we could vote for not only a location, but the weather, track variant and time of day? It might seem a little far-fetched but I'm sure there might be a way to implement that suggestion if it was taken seriously. AND all of those options to be made freely available in QSRs as well, not just Career mode.

Just my two cents.

Oh and for the Asphalt Community, do you mean the one on this Wiki, or the one on Google+?

Because I'm not a member of the latter, but I could perhaps write a blog expanding on these issues?
