I'll gladly proclaim that I'm thrilled they got rid of the 22-tier LTS's. They were not difficult, just way more time-consuming than it's worth. With so many other ways to play the game, to spend literally hours just to complete a single event seems superfluous.

At the time, we also had SE's which were manageable and could be completed in about 20min per stage (without spending an arm and a leg on upgrades). So, the time to win a car through an SE was a fraction of what it took to get through an LTS, though the end result was the same, complete a challenge to win a car. It was very lopsided and made no sense.

In the time since then, FM has increased the difficulty on SE's such that players started complaining about how difficult the SE's have become. So, now the pendulum has swung the other way and now people are wanting more LTS's. Thus, we have an update with nothing but LTS's.  Not surprisingly, it's also one of the most expensive updates in the history of the game. Since LTS's aren't about skill, but simply meeting a PR level, FM is able to dictate exactly how much each player needs to contribute in GC to win the car. FM gets their GC, players get their cars without those pesky SE challenges, and everyone's happy right????
