I know, right you guys?! It's pretty messed up, the way things are going.

I finished the Burnout Season 2 with a Rating of 2124. Under normal circumstances, I should have dropped to 1900 with the -200 drop each new Season.

But this time around, the Heatwave Season dropped me to 1800. That's right, 1800. A whole -100 points on top of the normal 200 point drop. And since that, I've made a net loss of 76 points. That's happened despite me trying out every possible MP vehicle I have.

For example, one race I'm in my MP4-25 (rank 1575) facing opponents in cars with similar rank but all triple boosted, then next race, opponents have same type of cars but now said cars are +100 in rank and still triple boosted.

After ~50 races, I noticed that 80% of the time, opponent cars are ranked 1700+. And this is competing against my 1575 MP4-25. I can at least survive because of my acceleration, but if they're running in higher-tuned R8 SEs or Beast Alphas then I don't stand a chance.

And a lot of the time, it's at least 3 of them per race and no podium finish for me. Never seen so many 1400+ R8 SEs and 1700+ Beast Alphas before. I was tempted to upgrade mine but I won't since we don't know if this new Multiplayer will stay.

I really should have screen-shotted the starting Rating for the Season, but I figured it would be fun to work my way back up to the Champion League. Boy, was I wrong.

I mean hey, I'm loving this new Multiplayer in the sense that we get to use some of our favorite cars again, but the biggest problems are the uneven distribution of Rating points and the random nature of player match-ups (Champion League racers being matched up with Challenger League racers) and earning meager amounts of points for 1st place, and losing something like -15 or more for 2nd place or worse.

It's also killed my aim to get a full 1 year streak in the Champion League (got up to 8 months until now) and set me back on my planned Tokens count.

Ah well, who knows how things will be next time? I'm really just hoping that they keep this format, but make some changes to the match-ups OR the point earnings to make it fairer for everyone

@ Niksasphalt8

Indeed long time my friend, how've you been? And how is Asphalt 9?

Hope you're enjoying it? If only there was a way to import progress from Asphalt 8 to 9 (cars, bikes, exp, Credits, Tokens, BPs, etc.) then I'd happily join you!

@ Mehdinike

It's a tough break, isn't it? Here's hoping we make better progress next Season. I've just rediscovered the power of a rather forgotten car - the Twin Mill.

I'm testing it out during Validation and it seems to be doing pretty well. I will confirm once real competition starts, since I'm not yet certain whether it's down to the actual car, or that everyone else is quite relaxed since we're off-Season

@ Fkw123

It's crazy. I've seen a few familiar names who used to be in the Top 100 of Pro League and had decent spots in the Champion League, and now they're way down in the Challenger League and below. Gaining points was not exactly easy before, but there was a good challenge to face.

Now, it's like every noob to the moon and back can beat you without even trying, but simply because their car is more OP. Ah, RIP Vulcan dream ....

Gotta try harder next time!
