(Continuation from my comment below) If anyone wanted to play something that tests their patience and skill, they should go for games like Dark Souls or Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and NOT NFS games. Sorry if my criticisms may come off as harsh or demanding, but to be fair, a mod that has been constantly developed and revised for 4 months (or possibly even more) would mean that people would expect A LOT from your work.

(Continuation from my comment below). PLEASE REVISE THEM IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT STAYS TRUE TO NFS CARBON'S VISION AND STYLE while making creative and balanced additional features. What you guys (CBR Team) need to understand is that most people play any NFS game to generally have a good, fun, and even relaxing time and not for it to be a source and reason for anyone to pull their hair out out of frustration. Yes, it can be frustrating like any other game, but not too much. (continued in the next comment)

(Continuation from my comment below) World Sprint races are the worst at this as well. With all the chaos and destruction flying around during the races, it feels more like I'm playing a Burnout game rather than a Need For Speed game. There's many more ridiculous races but I do not feel like mentioning every single one of them. All you have to know about these ridiculous races is that they violently break the game's lore and atmosphere in a bad way. (continued in the next comment)

(3) Ridiculous races - This is mostly focused on the Challenge Series races. While many of them can be fun, there are also quite a bunch of them that just isn't how NFS Carbon races work. Racing with AI opponents while under Heat Level 10, for instance, is more of a cheap excuse to extend the players' total gameplay time by guaranteeing they'll be restarting the race over and over again rather than it being more of a challenging but fun experience for all types of players...

(2) Exotics/Race class cars' handling and performance issue - Literally ALL exotic cars of both Tier 2 and Tier 3 (except the Audi Le Mans Quattro, all variants of the BMW M3 GTR, and add-on cars) perform so much worse! All speed but no handling. You can't even turn properly without having to put FULL BRAKES on, which is both ridiculous and stupid because the Exotics/Race class cars are supposed to be the best cars in the game. Also, their performances makes Drift races impossible to do and win.
