    I actually like the idea of random prizes that UFC has. The only thing to make it better would be to not be able to win the same old prize again just the ones you havent won.

    As far as pay to play I like buying upgrades. I really like the idea behind Sodium 2 with purchased usable items. I don't know if its possible but I would buy a free to play game with a skip the line pass for the que. I would think the people playing for free would get mad, but there will always be people who get mad when they have to pay even a few dollars for a better experience.

    As far as events, I like the idea of a daily or weekly event that can win some kind of awesome bonus or very hard to win prize.

    Finally, multiplayer games that allow comunication are the best. The Xi team maze is still one of my favorite events in Home. It really made people work together (or against each other). Games like Novus are good but if you needed to work together there is no way to talk/txt. I also liked the Uncharted board game, but even that was difficult to talk (had to use the start triangle/r2).

    Well thats my 2 cents.

    Agreed with above. Except for winning prizes you already have, I like the cards and rewards in UFC space

    Elmojojo, maybe. You guys should put all your RC Rally ideas in here. It would be good to know what you loved, what you liked, what you didn't like, what was frustrating, what rewards you want to see, what kind of new objective types, etc etc.

    I am surprised I am just now hearing of this. They might have quit out and it saved that time. I will try to get our guys to look into it, but it might be a while. I we weren't seeing this in testing, so I am not sure what it is. @Carla, you like testing... try to recreate this and give us specifics ;P haha.

    Told you before how i think that happens, its when someone gets the screen camera view lock and crashed mid race, every time i have seen it happen its been when someones crashed.

    The crash might be triggering the end race function or something.

    I enjoyed the game a lot heavy, but there were a few things I thought were funky. I unlocked some sort of flame decal but not sure what it is cause I don't see it in my car options.

    I'm also a little frustrated sometimes when I just touch an edge and CRASH!!!!! It seems way too sensitive about that. I think you should do a check of velocity toward the wall. Not just how fast a car is going, but how fast it's approaching a wall. If I'm going fast, but barely touching a wall, I should lose speed, not crash. Though if you do want that crash, the edge of the track should be lined with something menacing, like nails pointed at me, or sharp metal shards.

    I also think it might help to put the slide button on the R2 trigger too. I would find that easier to do, than having to press the slide and control the turn with my left hand. Plus after years of driving, it's more natural for me to steer with my left, and hit breaks and acceleration with my right side. You can have both L2 and R2 do slides.

    I also think it might be nice to get a racing trophy on completion of all objectives. You gave such great rewards at the start of the game, so it felt a bit empty not to get something big at the end. Maybe a golden RC car on a block of wood?

    1] The decal is for a jeep body style, the Rock Crawler. Due to technical difficulties it will be released later, and then you will have your flames decal!
    2] I get your frustration, but maybe it will just make you a better driver ;) I will definitely be talking with everyone about all this feedback and see what we can and cannot do in the future and what we want this game to really become.
    3] We feel this configuration is best. My programmer likes R2 for accelerate because of the R2's sensitivity: it's not just on or off, it has a degree of depression from nothing to fully depressed.
    4] We never even thought about that: completing track 3 objectives. I will see what we can do about that....

    Thanks for the feedback :)
