Just keeps getting bigger and better.



This game needs a new review ASAP!!



Oh! Downloading asap.

I've been completely sucked back into DC since the last update. Currently reaching the 700's on the leader board, I guess I'll be lvl 120 when I log back in, since I'm already at 270 million fame. Yet it's hard leveling the club by myself!

I wonder what the changes will do to drifting, you could already get very high scores by drifting as fast as possible. A reset would be nice however, a lot of scores don't make sense and must have been from some exploit or a glitch.

I wonder if they're going to charge $3.50 again per expansion pack of 6 events? No matter how addicted I am to DC I don't like this practice. New tracks or I'm not buying anymore.
Plus I kinda hoped they would have at least split the leader boards for hardcore mode. Hardcore mode is only suited for drifting challenges atm.



The excellent support continues!

Some odd changes I noticed:

Dynamic weather is now mostly dry, it used to generate 80% wet races, now it is more like 80% dry races. Random time of day still seems to favor the night.

For drifting I don't really see the score increase, maybe I'm not precise enough. However going as fast as possible to score the most points before slamming into a wall doesn't work anymore, nor does cutting corners to prolong a slide, both will set your score to zero for that section. It used to only prevent your score from going up for a couple of seconds after a hit.

And those performance improvements... I've never noticed screen tearing in DriveClub. Today the Scottish city track had heavy screen tear. It's only on that track luckily, I hope they fix it.
