Indeed, the most annoying thing now is the MP point system, for the reasons commented already. Essentially, it seems almost everyone got one league down. I guess that, likewise the old system, the trick is to find out which cars and at what tuning are optimal for the matching, to give you best chances to dominate a race. (for example, I often get matched with MP4/8 @1400-1500, and they always win unless crashed) But then, if such "OP" cars get matched together, same issues will be for them as well. On this grounds, I wonder how it is possible to have players with ~4600 rating as we have currently?! How are they doing it?

Otherwise the new systems looks good - from the perspective that acceleration and handling finally matter as well, and should be fairer. In a game like this, with a pay-to-win business strategy, it is inevitable that older players and especially ones willing to spend money on it will always have far better chances. At the end of the day, even if we all had the same cars, same tunes (disregard the absurd rarity of engine cards), an Extra tank will give you an extra edge - and here comes the money thing (if you want to use ET regularly).

The real bad thing is that it is a great game actually, so it keeps you in, despite all these frustrations. It is addictive, and this is done on purpose - in order to progress and to win, for a number of things you need to play every couple of hours (or pay solidly!), you cannot do in one big go. So if you can get rid of it - is the best thing you can do (I havent done it until now obviously...).
