actually, EA had the idea of token-only upgrades before it was a thing in Asphalt 8. i'm just saying.

also, it's no big deal, since you can watch ads, play a bit of multiplayer, do a weekly time trial and complete a part of a series (25% per reward) in career to get more gold coins. it's a thousand times easier than in Asphalt 8. levelling up also gives you gold coins depending on your driver level.

oh, and it's got its own special events, which get revived almost every update.
