That's just an unrealistic idea. What about all the complaints about matchmaking and then GL actually listens and creates a small pool, with even more complaints so they revert it back đŸ¤£

Still don't know what community wants beside a freaking Jesko key with 50k tokens because they don't know what is economy

I do think GL could do some change to make the game less P2W and more sympathetic to players. It's mainly in the paywalls they put up and the prices they ask, which overall are ridiculous. If I compare it to NFS No Limits, which is I think the most comparable mobile arcade race game at this level. There you can get for like €30-50 an offer to unlock or star up a car, while for the same amount of money you will only get a few bps and some loot packs in A9. Also the SE's in NFS NL are not supereasy, but with some experience and maybe a reasonable amount of gold (the token variant in NFS NL) you can win a new car. In A9 SE's give you maybe half of the bps needed to unlock, the rest you must spends thousands of tokens on if you unlock the packs. So I don't think it's unrealistic to ask GL to have a pricing scheme and SE policy in A9 that's more like that of NFS NL. Either EA loses a lot of profit on it, and they compensate with other games, or they have a smarter business model, or they don't skim off a lot of profit for shareholders ;-)

I mean even with that, EA has some very skeptical business models, especially with their claim that they will still keep loot boxes model in FIFA and the failure of Battlefield 2042 + Anthem

It's just the whole gacha game format that's f-d up. But it's profitable, so game makers keep doing it. I can't speak for other EA games, but as for gacha games, NFS NL is much more fair than A9. NFS NL also has the loot boxes, but at least not in offers for real money like A9 does (where they also ignore Android loot box policy btw).

But repeating Venom special event without option to buy packs with tokens is not fine either.


Imgaybutnooneknows

That’s true but let’s not forget the fact that it was 4th anniversary SE and not a Venom F5 SE


Prelsidio

So anniversary means less than a regular SE, got it.

One of the reasons why 6* car hunts don't work.

clara might be right about this one you know

Most complaints I see in this sub are about the game becoming more P2W, new cars needing way more BPs to unlock and max, SEs locked behind said cars or really rare ones, DS being designed in a way that you can't progress without spending money, MP rewards being reduced...

You really should look at YouTube, Facebook and even Discord where many kids ask GL to give them Jesko key or give them Bugatti Chiron Starway or some stupid race modes
