Car Crashes and safety car

I agree, however we do have league rules now. While too many rules is a can of worms of its own this seems to be something worth a rule. Some want to race with the result representing their own actions and decisions to the last digit, but a lot of others would sacrifice some of that for more action even if it means quite some luck by rolling some random numbers in the background has to be introduced, but as well some ability to perform damage control and adapt to unpredictable circumstances deciding between similarily (un)lucky managers.

Every new yes/no league rule halves the player pool for a certain league, so yes, bringing new ones has to be done with care. But just reworking and enabling it again would alienate most of the dedicated long term players, but keeping it out would make the game feel lacking for the crowd of new players and interested people as well as the established ones wishing for more action, things that stir up races, and don't mind the random element, or even welcome it.

Of course it won't be an easy task and not going to be soon, also fixing and smoothing out the basics needs to come first. But somewhen after marketing the game takes place again I think this rule has to be a thing even though I have no interest at all to play with crashes. But some of those new players drawn by the action will get experience and love that head to head racing and annoyed every time when the game decides this or that competitor has to drop out of the race ruining what promises to be a close finale and jumps camp, and every new competitor is a good thing.

That's why it has to be a league rule. The thing is every racing manager I know has crashes, car component failures, race incidents, and at least the newer ones SC. So players usually expect these to be a part of a manager game and view a game missing them as incomplete of essential features. However those other games are either offline against AI or arcade and/or pay2win. In a competitive multiplayer race those things don't work, at least one that gives every player the same fair chance and isn't extremely hardcore complex, as teams are just too close and the tiniest difference in luck would be a deciding factor ruining not only the races of the ones whose cars got hit but everyone else who hoped to have a thrilling competition and not just get success for free like that. So those who realized arcade and race lottery isn't what they are looking for need the possibility to switch it off. 


But this is a discussion for much later, first the bigger issue of so many people giving the game a try quitting before they even make it into their first race has to be addressed. After that we'll see if we can afford this additional league rule.
