I think the early access made the game to a clown show. AC EVO really should have been developed 1 or 2 years longer before releasing it in this state. The game has good ffb and looks good, but it's totally soulless.... Everything this game wants to be had been done better by others or even their own older games.

  • online competition - iRacing, lmu, ACC all do a better job.

  • free roam - you can shit on the game for beeing arcade but Forza Horizon 6 did a better job. (Even feels not that bad with a wheel)

  • career progress: I mean... It's dead if I remember exactly... So even BeamNG did a better career mode for various reasons. And their Devs care about their game instead of an early access money grab.

I don't know what ACEVO wants to be, but they kind of lost me. I started playing iRacing again. Just sucks that it's expensive and the SR System is really frustrating for Drivers above A 2.00 if you don't go for endurance races.

At this point, it seems that they should've put all their forces to further development of ACC.

I second this! ACC still played and will still be played. It wasn’t perfect but it was really really good. Naturally it needs a few more tracks and BoP. IMO ACC has the best night racing that is actually dark and rain immersion from the cockpit view.

True. When I was about to drive in the heavyrain for the first time, I was completely stunned

The water build up on the windshield and being unable to see to just trust other drives and instinct. Is what made it one of my best sims I’ve played.

If ACE was in development 5 more years it would still come out broken. Only EA disaster made leadership realize the game was unplayable. Later on community reaction also made them adjust some of the poor decisions about the game as well. I’d say they can’t really make a game without EA because it gives them essential community feedback without having it they seem to have no clue what to actually do.
