Academy? Really

[Duis]

Don't teaches nothing that you don't learn on practice and race mode.
Better call it Test Drive.
Else, the cars you have to drive it's no way to practice, just try and try and try. Boring.

And I like the economy and the approach to it that was in every game of the Gran Turismo series. In my opinion, farming is never superfluous in retaining players.

[LabPong]

It's like an arcade nightmare. Driving feels like crap now.

[Some Call Me Tim]

The Academy is so lame it's a horrible boring waste of time especially for those of us who actually know how to drive.

I really hope Kunos listen to feedback and don't force it on everyone so we have to grind it just to be able to drive the cars we want.

dont need an economy or anything like that its all wasted development time

no it part of the game and you do need it otherwise whats the point in playing it, but yes they working on the wrong things at the moment, 1.5 is just a bad copy of gt7 test

They are bugged or the server is still having issues. I've got gold on a few, gone back a screen and no stars or money.

Well i hope when they do a new update we don't have to delete the ACE folder that would be very bad.

I strongly agree. They really allowed such an amazing idea go to waste. They most definitely should have implemented a voice over of a professional guiding you through the courses.

They 100% need to do this. A professional AI voice guiding people through the academy. A small touch but goes a long way to deliver a more professional feeling experience

To have an academy trying to teach us non-aliens how to get faster would be awesome. This isn't it. Not even close. Hope they develop this a lot more.

Because I now have to make a certain time, I am forced to concentrate well, pay close attention to what the car is doing, if I don't do that I won't make the time, I think that is a learning experience for me. Moreover, I have now also raced in conditions that I would not easily choose myself. It's just a pity that I have race level 3 within 2 hours (with a few 1,2 and 3 star results) so some extra challenge is welcome, now I'm trying to get 3 stars everywhere

[rallysmo]

they should focus in fix the performance issue instead

[a-y]

I don't have a single moment of my life to waste driving around the same corner multiple times. I started playing on PC to get away from this console kids game rubbish. Thankfully AMS2 is scheduled to get more content over this next year.

Offline currently gives access to all the cars.

This is going to sound a bit harsh, but If you are that slow that you cannot even manage a one star then maybe this game is not for you. Look up how others drive and try to mimic their inputs.

I think one should need two stars or more to progress. But that'll make 95% of the players fail I guess.

AC:EVO should be the Dark Souls of sim racing. Fail, fail, and try again.

Gamers today are so terribly lazy. Back in the olden days you had to start over from the beginning of a game if you failed all your lives. Then along came checkpoints and made it much much easier. And now gamers complain if the game isn't holding their hands all the time. Quest markers and arrows the size of buildings to show you where to go next. It's surprising there isn't an AI to play the games for you yet, but I am sure that'll come pretty soon.

it feels like a copy from the GT7 licenses, and i don't like it. also i earned enough money to purchase the bwm m2, but the purchase button is greyed out and it doesn't tell me why.

not a fan of this arcade stuff, i was looking forward to a nice sim like AC and ACC. hope they change this or let us skip this "career" stuff alltogether.

Have you unlocked a racing license for this car? It's required also for buying cars IIRC.
