I think the problem is more of the implementation by the Monkeys than FE per se, though I can't say I have any interest in the real series. The problem is the Monkeys introduced three mediocore cars but priced them the same as the P1 GTR. I know which I would rather spend the gold on! Oh, and then if you wanted to complete the series, you had to heavily upgrade all three versions of the same f-ing car. And then what two extra things did they bring to the game to try and sweeten the pot? A terrible track that is so bad they have pretty much abandoned it through the rest of the game and the special schtick of, wait for it, coasting! Because obviously everyone playing a racing game wants to coast around a rats nest in a gold-plated vaccum cleaner. Turns out, very few people were enticed to the point where the monkeys gave all the cars away and 80% off the upgrades. Even then, I could only be bothered to upgrade one.

That being said, I am cautiously optomistic about the new version. The price:PR is much more reasonable (and right in line with what FM have been doing these last couple of updates) and the PR boost should hopefully translate into a less mediocore driving experience. I can't say I love NY, but, having run it some now, I will say it is better than HK. Hopefully Mexico City is next, as that would be a boon for the entire game.
