counter argument:
surely if you are giving up more of your time to race per week, you deserve the extra rep? And those that only play the game to get higher rep should just join leagues with more races per week? Just playing devil's advocate here


Maybe its not possible for me to give up more time. Maybe its how I race today or nothing at all.


Those who are lucky enough to have more time, should they also benefit in reputation just for that reason? Or should i be punished for not having the time available?

Fair enough, I understand some just can't give up time, but I wouldn't call it "luck" for the people that do make genuinely large sacrifices to be able to play this game. I think that is disrespectful to the people who give up more time per week. They deserve some sort of award, maybe not in the HoF but somewhere else 🤔. Again though I understand where you are coming from.

so according to your advice, to be the best in the world I have to leave my league, where I compete with the best in the world and I struggle to get points, to go to a poor league but which plays 7 days a week and always competes on lonely leading the race?

No. There are many difficult leagues that have 7 GPs a week, and to say the one that you are in is conclusively "the best" with "the best players" is quite subjective. I'm sure now you'll go on to mention players that are in it, but it's okay, that's not important right now and it isn't going to help us make the hall of fame better.

After looking at all of these comments and seeing the state of the hall of fame atm (top managers only 1000 rep above new players, jfc) I agree changes must be made, BUT making it so that the number of days raced a week is irrelevant to rep gained is not the eureka solution to the mess that is HoF, surely someone can agree with me on that? I also have a bad feeling it could have unwanted side effects if not implemented properly, which considering the last few updates is certainly possible.
Some problems off the top of my head:
how is the rep gain/lack of rep gain going to be calculated when people are doing different schedules, racing on different days with season breaks on different days? At what point of the week will the game calculate rep gain? If it is a per race thing then how do we account for the rep gain of people jumping between 1 race/week leagues? Rep penalties for league hopping?

Honestly at this point I'm thinking it would just be easier to divide total rep gain from the month by the number of races completed, any other system introduces weird issues.


EDIT: also only just realised my earlier post was marked as the best solution, which I don't agree with. It wasn't a solution it was just a discussion point to ensure all sides were being heard from.

EDIT 2: also really not happy to see this idea has been rejected already, the discussion was just getting good 😅



it was not referring to me but to any really strong manager, I am not good with english. but why does a strong manager have to play 7 days to have his skill recognized?

Hello guys,

Leo, i agree with you. 

I understand that for an online game "fame" is important but...

If you want a true Nr 1 in iGP it's up to the Dev' to create some kind of a Champion's League with the help of Quick Races. But they need to manage themselves this championship in order to be claimed "official".

You just need to take the top 12 or whatever Rep Players (scaled by race day if you want) and let them fight 1 by 1 in a tournament or all of them in a single race.

Then, create a special place in the game to record all this great battles

Same car, same lvl on Quick Races so...it's just a matter of skills.

That way you will all know who is the best and who is not.

Fighting for numbers is a waste of time. Take a seat inside you car, take a random track ang go for it.

Only prob is time schedule but well...it's an international game.

It's better to reopen a new thread to discuss the same thing like this because it's useless to continue discussing at here since it has been rejected by Jose

We should have just kept it as it is and removed the 10000 rep cap
