Loot Box Scams – Top Drives – Car Cards Racing Review

Let me paint you a picture. You play this game a ton, decide it’s your favorite one on the app store. After a while the game gets an update releasing new cars. You decide it probably wouldn’t be soooo bad to buy some of the premium currency for the new, good, rare cars. Some of which are required for the new race events. If you’re lucky, you spend $50 and get a single competitive car. You win a few matches and feel pretty good. Then the next update comes and you want to stay competitive, so you spend another $50 and get another decent car. But now, you realize that the car you got last time has it’s stats lowered. This happens every single update. The cars you pay for are nerfed and you’re forced to spend more money. Break the cycle. Stop playing this game. Update: I appreciate addressing my negative review, but changing stats to increase realism isn’t the main issue. It’s not only the changes that are made to car stats, but WHEN they are made that causes the most grief. If new European cars are released, the existing European cars are nerfed. If Italian cars are the main cars added, the existing Italian cars will be nerfed. The problem is, the biggest stat changes that you make are always the most arbitrary to measure, like ride height (low, medium, high) and mid-range acceleration. Apparently the “magic number” for medium ride height is 120 mm. Now just from Googling medium ride height cars in the game, I can see right off the bat that multiple of the meta city streets, medium ride height cars have ground clearances below 120 mm such as the 2017 Panamera Turbo (119 mm) 2015 Audi S8 Plus (116 mm) 2013 BMW Gran Coupe (107 mm! And from BMW’s own press release!!). As for mid-range acceleration, look at the 1995 Ruf CTR2 and the 2016 Pagani Huayra, both drag monsters before the new German and Italian cars were released, respectively. Their MRAs were drastically reduced (getting destroyed in drag races now). The Huayra is possibly the best example of this; I specifically spent money to buy an Italian card pack because this was one of the only Italian cars above super rare at the time, with incredible stats. Every time you release new cars for a country, existing cars of that country are nerfed to change the meta and require players to purchase card packs so they can remain competitive.
