@ The Ozma

No kidding, that shock was REAL. I also did a lot of trial and error with different cars and took quite a hit in Rating too. Unfortunately, if you already own a car then you can't get it again at stock.

Unless of course, you ask Gameloft for a reset (which is only limited to 1 per account). But for the Torq, it's probably not worth it. I overtuned mine too, so now the only way is MAX+PRO.

I got mine a long time ago when it came on sale for Tokens, way before it became a BP car. Kinda regretting shelling out that 4K since I seem to get those Torq BPs quite often. Still love the car itself, though!

Normally I finish in Champion League Tier 4, though I almost reached the 3rd Tier just last Season (before the change). I am clawing my way back up the Pro League right now and have crossed the 1950 threshold. Champion League is just within reach!

And to answer your question, I've also got the Tier 0 problem on my Hall of Fame records too. It seems to have been bugged right from the start. Quite a few months are still missing despite my repeated contact with CC.

Apparently they don't have any way to recover the lost records and you have to send screenshots for proof, so now I make it a practice to snap every end of Season just in case!



@ Niksasphalt8

I initially didn't like the idea of TouchDrive since it seemed to take any effort and skill away from racing, but I guess it comes in handy for learning the most efficient routes and for farming? Just start a race, put the device down and let the car do the rest? I kinda wish A8 had that feature.

Not to mention the Clubs too! It's about time there was a way to communicate with your friends in-game, so I'd say Gameloft did a great job there! My poor device also doesn't support A9, so when I get a new one I may try it. Gonna stick with A8 in the meantime. Glad to hear you're having a great time!

Also the first few races will get you mega Rating points, but they get less and less the further up you go. Especially when you maintain a 100% risk streak and then you get matched with equal or weaker opponents.

It's a shame I missed out on getting the Carrera GT, never knew what an absolute beast it would become in MP. I did have some fun with my brand new MP4-25 for a while until MP got flooded with Carrera GTs and now, I've benched my R8 SE since it's too weak to compete (at rank 1206).

My Apollo IE has been my life-saver this Season!

@ TestedBoo8

Man, that's harsh. You'd think dropping to the Challenger League was bad enough, but nope.

Have you been able to fight your way back up since then?

@ Modimagic

I hope you have a good arsenal of cars in your collection, don't give up! I looked at my records and it's been exactly 2 years since I was last in the Challenger League.

Every time since that has been either Pro or Champion. Just keep going!

@ Das Leeroy

Yup, this unexpected change has hit all of us really hard. I've seen a lot of familiar names in the Pro and Champion Leagues get dropped all the way back as far as the Amateur League.

A lot  of the races have been pretty tense, since we don't know who the actual amateurs are anymore. I really hope Gameloft don't change things so drastically again in the future, without some sort of concrete plan.

This so-called 'experiment' has cost a lot of racers their MP tunes, Rating and chances of getting good rewards!

@ SurfNSlide

Ditto! I've been looking out for Ticket packs in those Exclusive Deals and watching ads like crazy on my tablet and phone.

Have had 3 days where I've blazed through 35+ Tickets per session and have managed to rise from the 1500s to the 1900s in almost no time at all. Good luck for your Champion League hopes!

I'm looking at finishing up in Tier 4 of the Champion League too, maybe even Tier 3 if I get the chance! It's just that the races get so unforgiving by that point, that Tier 4 is usually good enough for me. Don't know if I'll ever make it to the Elite, though

@ Swanging & Banging

Welcome to the club, buddy! I hope your fortunes have changed for the better since that time? I also spent time experimenting with different cars and track selections, and it turned out that even my most reliable weapons were struggling to break even.

I was losing much more than I was gaining, even with some of the cars that I used to get to the Champion League in the past. 1st place wins don't get more than 3 points or so, 2nd place finishes easily -10 or more.

I'd say don't change any of your MP tunes just yet. If they're reliable enough, keep them as they are. Even if MP changes again, just be prepared to face whatever competition is thrown your way and always have a backup plan in case things go south!

Remember it's not a total loss if you can manage to keep your streak and earn those rewards points, so you'll be better prepared to take on anything that comes your way!

I've been relying on my Apollo IE (rank 1695) and it's served me quite well. Almost never meet MAX+PROed ones, only similar ranks or lower. My X2 is nowhere near PRO but my Apollo eats any X2 it comes across for lunch

@ TweakRacer

I'm also a casual player for the most part, but if I have a day off, over 35+ Tickets and I can spare about a couple of hours, I whip out an Extra Tank and slap on a Nitro Starter and Tuning Kit, then unleash hell in MP.

It does seem like Gameloft's ultimate goal is to destroy the A8 MP experience bit by bit so players move to A9 out of sheer frustration (as if the blatant billboard ads for A9 weren't enough - and making players ruin their MP tunes during that 'experimental' Season. In my experience though, risking points seems to give me better match-making.

If I race on 0% risk then I get matched up with opponents who are ranked as far as 100 points above me and can go 50 kph faster than me.

Do you have any stronger cars like the Carrera GT, R8 SE, Apollo IE or X2 to name a few good performers?
