THIS GAME IS FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This game is so cool and well i love cars its amazing. The cars on this game are really great just like in real life and the graphics are great. I mean this game is so detailed that car weighs can have an effect if your racing a light but slow car thats just cool and little details that matter in real life umlike other racing games its just made up cars but this is the real thing i have no regrets about this and tought about how cars really work its just amazing. The work that it meeds is just about why do we less slots if you really need a good car but then you have to get rid of the good cars for that one i mean we should add more slots for the card because in one pack cards there is lots in a pack then we dont have room for other cars in the slots

But that is just fine if becase just sell the cars that i dont want then i have slots that are open ans then i can use them i really dont see the worst about this game but if i see improvement in those game that would be great.

Great and close to perfect

Everything is good down to events and campaign levels.
1) Events (at least the big ones) are controlled by who ever spends the most money. i agree if you spend $50 you should have an edge, but why can’t we get more than 1 common pack to start😂. you basically have to spend money unless you are stacking gold.
2) Campaign levels are great and even replaying them getting the loot out of them is enjoyable. they should either reset with different cars to earn, reset and be harder levels, or have a new set of 10 locations in different cities. i only have 2 cities left to get loot out of and my playtime on this game will likely go down with how the next campaign goes. getting that currency is grueling when you don’t have good event lineups.

Anything other than those are opinions like i think garage inventory should be infinite and cash should easier to come around. my cars are getting fused cause of extra cars but cannot upgrade very fast. once upgrades slow down i cannot fuse with extra cars and progress is much slower.

Paying for the bare minimum

I got some money into the game (after about 4 months of playing) for my first Tri Series (now). It was a small amount of gold for a platinum pack for the finals. Y’know what I got? Some Mazda concept car 4wd performance and the B51 Bufori! It’s insane how bad the roulette is! I get rares in plastic packs but the bare minimum you can possibly give me in an important piece of gameplay for the Tri Series! Want to play for free? Only leggy you probably can get is the 12C. Want more carbon fibers? Get lucky with card draws and aluminums (got B50 purple Countach from day 21 aluminum pack). Need money? Club events (boring) for about a few months! Question: how many people have paid in your game for a pack and got the bare minimum? You have legendary cars and slick tires on some cars and huge skill gaps on others! Only heavy spenders can possibly make tiers 1 and 2 for the Tri Series! I’m at Citroen Oli ranks in about 450th! Maybe you should make some events that many can play for the 150 gold and ceramic first prize! Good game (usually) in single player, torturous in multiplayer. Thanks hutch.

The best casual car game right now

There’s a reason this game keeps on going — because it’s so good as a casual car game.

Although you can’t actually drive the cars there is still a level of interaction with the animations as you will your car to win the mini races against other (often faster cars). This makes the game extremely easy to pick up and play, as there is no requirement to give it all of your attention, when you can select your hand, configure your race order and then sit back and watch the competition.

The game may be slightly biased toward people who buy car packs, but I have not spent any money on the game and have a fully rounded garage with 2 legendary cards on top of the base McLaren. This makes the game open to everyone and fun to play in gaps in your day.

Whatever you doc don’t give these scam artists a single cent of your money!

The entire game is an absolute scam and it’s incredible that Apple haven’t bothered to intervene at this point. They establish ‘rules’ for events and then apparently completely disregard those rules in the final moments to ensure no legitimate player can claim any of the decent prizes on offer. ‘Phantom’ players turn up with unbeatable hands in the final moments of events that can apparently complete multiple turns faster than it is physically possible for a human being to complete them, completely breaking the physics of the game. The only way they will ever learn is to stop giving them a single cent of real money until they start treating people fairly and within the ‘rules’ that they apparently set up and apply. Hutch are amongst the greatest scam artists in the entire App Store.

A unique game but with problems

So this is a P2W game for sure but the free aspect of it is still fun and this a new style of racing game for me at least. I understand the company wants to make money but there are some issues with the game for sure that limit you because you’re not spending enough money on the game.

For starters It’s a bit repetitive having to beat the same race at least 5 times to get all of the rewards. Some other issues is having to have a certain car type for particular races. I think that’s a great idea but it’s also an issue for me. Right now I’m stuck and can’t progress in races because I don’t have a vehicle with “off road tires”. Even though I have vehicles with all season tires.

It wouldn’t be an issue if I could just go back and replay races and earn more money to buy new cars but once you clear past races and get all of the rewards you can’t earn anything else from them. So I’m basically stuck now after having played the game for just two days.

New to the game and it broke

New to the game, was working my way through the tutorial. And I bought about £300 worth of in game items, however once I did this it is now stuck with the same tutorial screen and won’t let me do anything. Didn’t mind spending that much as long as the app worked but I contacted them and they said there’s nothing they can do as it’s a known issue and that I’d have to restart the game and delete the account. Apple are useless as well refused the refund twice even though I explicitly explained what had happened. Not impressed so I’m in contact with my bank now to raise a dispute about the fact I can’t even use my in game items and Apple won’t give me my money back. Looked a good game and was looking forward to playing it but the fact I can’t even get my money back is fairly annoying. Hopefully if someone from hutch sees this they can contact me regarding this. Cheers, Joe

Great game

This game is brilliant for anyone who likes cars. There is lots of variety and many different events that happen in which you can earn special rewards which I think is a very nice feature. The only thing I’d say isn’t good is when you are looking though every car in the game in the all cars or manufacturer tab, you aren’t able to see how the different upgrades impact the vehicles performance which is slightly annoying as you might have a car that seems ok but you don’t have any idea if it would be worth it to upgrade it to max as it’s very expensive because you need 3 cars to fuse to make one car better which might not even be that good. But overall a very solid game that I totally recommend to car lovers

Great game

This is one of the best car racing games out there. It is great for all those petrol-heads out there. For future updates they should make it easier to get ’S’ cars. The Yellowbird competition should have a higher race quotas because for all of the good people they don’t have ‘D’ and ‘E’ class cars. All in all it is a great game definitely recommended

Too Much Time

The game itself is exactly as advertised. You can race to win more cars, open packs, upgrade cars, etc. It was fantastic when this is how the game worked. Now, you’re *REQUIRED* to spend either ample amounts of time or small amounts of money just to win one event. Before, I’d get on the game, check the current events, get in my 5 races for that event and get offline. Well, if you do that now, you will stay in the lowest rank, which will also decrease your rep by 10 per event. My tickets do not refresh for over an hour, so I can’t continuously grind out my races to make it to one of the top spots. I could go 15-0, have more points than anyone else, and I will still be ranked 50th because I didn’t run *THIRTY* races in 24-48h. The expectations are quite high if you want anything decent in the game and it will take you much longer than before. I have played for a few years now and I only have 4 or 5 S class cars, so getting the exact one you want is almost guaranteed to never happen. And again, it will take even longer than those few years to get the exact same results. I have spent a little bit of money on the game as well but never anything above $20. I would say this last update pushed the game from almost P2W to fully P2W. No one has the time for 30 races in a day to get first place.

Response from developer

We're glad to read that you like the game! Thanks for your feedback about the minimum tickets per prize tier feature. We have introduced this feature to tackle some issues we often see in-game, and ultimately make Top Drives events a fairer and more positive experience for all. In the past, we have had situations where players have been able to win reasonably high prizes with very little participation in the event, whether this is by joining late, deliberately playing only a very small number of matches, deliberately avoiding leaving ghosts hands for opponents to race against on the event, or other behaviours - and we do not believe that this can always be in line with our intended design for the mode, or the spirit of PvP in general - so although we understand your concerns, it is our belief that this feature can make a positive change to the Top Drives PvP experience. Although the tactical decisions you make in matchmaking and hand assignment, the cars you choose to race in each match, and the overall strength of your garage are all important factors, we believe that sometimes the amount of effort and participation invested in an event can also be part of what contributes to the best PvP experience. An event with prize tiers that require a certain number of matches to be played challenges players to demonstrate not just the above factors, but also a consistent level of play throughout an event’s duration - and rewards players for their efforts and their commitment. Specifically, the number of races required being too high is something we've heard from a few players - this is a very fair point, but I would remind you that these values are not set in stone; the number of races required to qualify for any given prize tier can be set by the designers as they choose; it is not one blank slate that applies to all events, whether or not it is suitable - it will always be part of a deliberate and thoughtful design. Our designers will be aiming for more enjoyable, less frustrating designs, and avoiding the inverse! Moreover, even if you feel that this feature provides an unfair advantage to players who have spent money on the game but in reality a big part of the intention behind the feature is to actually do the exact opposite. Some of the experiences that this feature addresses are most easily performed by the stronger players in the game; namely, where players have in the past been able to win reasonably high prizes despite very little participation in an event, this is often by virtue of the strength of their garage and therefore the strength of the hand they can submit for an event, allowing them to join late or deliberately play only a very small number of matches, but rank highly if their ghost hands are difficult to defeat! It is not our perspective that this kind of experience can always be in line with our intended design for the mode, or the spirit of PvP in general. There should therefore be no disadvantage to players earlier on in their Top Drives journey specifically; if anything, this feature should address some issues that they may have been running into in the game! :)
