EA isn't fighting me. The monkeys made a great game and then handicapped the players with ridiculous restrictions to monetize it. If this was a full price game everything would be so much different, we could race whenever we wanted without wait times and using only R$ currency without the stupid limited GC for a natural career progression. But that's not the game we have and nothing we do will change that. So you either play by the rules and spend a ridiculous amount of time and/or real money so you can enjoy the racing, or you work around the restrictions.

I really like the game engine they created, it feels natural to race and even though it's not a simulator, it attempts to give you a feel of what Real Racing is instead of going full arcade. I actually have to perfect my racing line and breaking points, something that isn't really important on arcade games. Track extending when you can get away with it is normal in racing games and even F1 drivers do it if the race director allows it, you can call it cheating but the need to shave as much time as we can from a corner will always be there no matter the circumstances. As for the attempt to stop us from cloud restoring so we play the gauntlet without "cheating", that's just a stupid UI restriction based on their monetization model that has nothing to do with racing, they just want us to spend GC on upgrading the cars and deplete our R$ on the restarts. You can play it "right" if you want, i'll avoid it as much as i can.

You can blame us all you want but the problem was there from the start, we just refused to let it ruin what is a great game. At the moment, nothing else on the play store compares to this game so we have to live with its quirks. If some other company releases a game just as good with better monetization i'll switch but until then this is as good as it gets and i'll take every chance i get to keep it fun for me instead of accepting their restrictions and find it boring like you.
