Im going to have to say no. Maybe at one point this argument had some legs to stand on, but not today. Even going back to MK Wii, the controls for that game were super precise and opened up a vast online community, which exists even still today due to modding. the tight controls mixed with admittedly poorly constructed tracks mean that there are a ton of frame precise shortcuts and corner cuts to master. skip forward to MK8 DX, the course design and detail is so beautiful that i am still blown away by its beauty. these tracks are just a joy to look at. not to mention they really nailed the mechanics this time. track customizations make it so you could have a really floaty car, or a great offroad car, and be able to find something perfect that works for you. for me, i sacrifice handling for speed, and make up for it by drifting for as long as possible so theres more time to balance out the turn radius on offroad courses. and if you think a 'rookie' is going to have an easy time here, you have never played online.
