I guess you guys don't have people you know irl who you want to race with using your own cars...
There is no internet play, I am fine with the lack of net play for now. However, not being able to use any cars but arcade cars in any form of multiplayer is stretching it a bit far?
Just think.. that lovely car you won the other day and tuned to do a sub 8minute nurburgring lap will never ever be used to race another human, merely AI who's cars will either completely demolish the car you take or get demolished themselves as they aren't in cars that are anywhere near as fast as you.
Then you might wonder to yourself why did you even bother tuning that car, you can do a sub 8minute in another car... and after all if you put enough upgrades into most cars I'm sure they'd equal it... so again.. why bother putting the effort in. It might be enjoyable to some, but I like to know that the effort I put into tuning all my cars and learning tracks actually is worthwhile and actually get used. If there is no way of using my cars in multiplayer then a huge chunk of gameplay has just been removed from me and many other likeminded individuals...
But then most people spend all their time whining that x car is not in the game or that we should have adjustable 'rim' sizes etc... what's the point in having anything if you can only use arcade to race others?
Why don't they just leave an option in where you can either say, garage cars or arcade cars... problem solved..
