@Magnetic Sparkle

Many thanks, and apologies for the late reply! I'm glad you enjoyed.

I would like to add to your listed points:

- A9 cars - so far, yes. It's like they're just straight-up ripping cars from A8's successor and for what? Increased marketing of those particular cars? Laziness? Inability to get rights to use virtually any other cars? Who knows??

- Tokens to get cars - I totally agree with this. When's the last time we saw a car on offer for Credits? Or even as a free TLE prize (like for a TLE that lasts 5 days like in the old days?)

- New car ranks - this has messed me up big time. All of my best MP-tuned rides are now completely useless. I have the option of either: losing at my current tunings, fully upgrading them or dropping back down to race in the low-rank tiers. Which I'm now doing. Never thought I'd get re-acquainted with my 959 for a long time, that's for sure. Imagine if one day, someone at Gameloft realizes this is a mistake and announces the return of MP tunes - well after most players have made the jump and fully upgraded their cars. Oh, the humanity!

- New MP point gain - I can't say much about this one since I haven't played A9, but on the face of it, that's an improvement over losing points for 2nd place

And as for those future Updates, I really hope that Gameloft opens their eyes to just how much they're spoiling this game and treats those future updates like they did in the game's earlier years. They just seem to take steps that suck out all the fun for veterans and drive away new players with high paywalls.

Here's hoping, eh!
