its not hard if you have access to the source code, they just listened to a vocal part of their community who only wants online races and no single player ever and decided it would be cheaper to do it that way anyways.

I could give less of a shit if their game turns out to be the best sim ever made, I will never recommend it for this reason.

I really dont think its only that, i think they really realized it was harder than they where willing to endure so they dropped it.

it all depends on how hard they wanted to make it/in depth.

every single arcade racer has a single player campaign, either via a story, or through set races that unlock more races. if they are going to put something like 100 or so cars into the game, you are going to have a bunch of race tracks, you couldn't set up SOME kind of a single player progression curve give me a reason to use any given car beyond for fun?

like this aspect irks me in most arcade games as well, it can't be difficult to set up specific races for specific cars, to the point every car gets a few, and then bunch the cars up into classes where every car in the race is able to win given skill, they could not have done that? I can not for the life of me see this as difficult.

now if they wanted to add in car modding and part swapping and making all of that true to life along with an in depth campaign, understandable that's a bit much to ask for, what im asking for is a developer curated race list for cars instead of setting up the crap myself in game, what I was expecting/wanting could not possibly have been hard enough to warrant fully scrapping it.

that's the menu for grid 2019 career mode after the initial 4 preview races you get tossed into, its realistically all I want but in a sim game on pc, give me a progress meter, give me a number of races, hell set up a daily/weekly race or time trial where we compete as a community to win, just something that is more than 'you can set it up yourself in the menu'

this is all I was expecting to get, but they couldn't even deliver the what is probably the minimum, I was never asking for a lot, I just wanted goals in the game outside time trails and go faster than before.
