The 2D trees are a bit disappointing but if that's the sacrifice necessary for the game to run at 60fps and 1080p then so be it. It's not as though the trees are going to have any effect on gameplay and will look nearly as bad in any view other than aerial. Still though, I'd have hoped that Polyphony Digital could at least have made their trees in the form of an asterisk rather than a funny looking X. Would have made them look quite a bit better from aerial view.
It's also worth pointing out that not all tracks will probably feature 2D trees. It's just with the tens of thousands of trees on the Nurburgring track, I understand why Polyphony chose to take the easy and fuctional shortcut rather than detail every tree and have the game come out a year later because of it, all for one track. XD
