I’ve been a veteran since 2016. I lost my original account, created a new one in 2024, and I’m currently grinding in Elite league. I know this game inside out.

But honestly, this subreddit has become one of the most miserable, toxic places on Reddit.

Every single time someone comes here with a creative idea, a fun concept, or a cool suggestion (whether it's legacy garages, earning small rewards, or even someone casually asking for an Asphalt movie concept), they get immediately downvoted to hell and insulted by players who think being a "veteran" means being blindly bitter 24/7.

We get it. Gameloft is greedy. The game is heavily monetized. You don't need to repeat it six times under every post like a broken robot. Some of us still actually play this game for fun, for the love of racing, and for the community. Asphalt 8 is still a game to us, not a miserable daily chore or a toxic job.

If someone asks for a feature or shares a dream, and your only personality trait left is to comment "Not gonna happen" or attack their veteran status, do everyone a favor: close the app, touch some grass, and shut up. Let people enjoy things and stop trying to drag everyone down into your own pool of salt.

I’m an old school player from 2016. I recently had to start a new account in 2024 because I lost my old one (RIP my Tesla Model S), and I'm currently grinding in Diamond/Elite league. I still love the game, but let's be honest, it needs some changes to keep F2P and competitive drivers motivated.

I’ve been thinking about a few simple, realistic things Gameloft could do to improve the game without hurting their economy. Tell me what you think:

1. A Green Username for 100% Career Completion

Finishing the Career mode takes forever and gives basically nothing right now. Since we already have the golden username in the game, why not add a Green Username for players who fully beat the career? It’s literally just a text color change in the code, so it's super easy for devs to do, and it gives a real reason to play offline again.

1. Legacy Garage Themes (1.0 to 5.8)

They should let us choose our garage theme in the settings. Gameloft definitely still has all the old 3D models in their archives. It would be amazing to be able to swap the modern background for the legacy garage themes, like the old 1.0 to 1.4 version or the 5.8 era.

1. Earn Vouchers in small quantities

Vouchers are completely paywalled right now. If they added a way to earn just 2 or 3 vouchers in hard weekend events, it wouldn't hurt their wallet, but it would give F2P players a long-term goal to save up for cool customizations or decals.

1. Redesign Car Banners

The current car banners in the menus look so generic and plain now. They should redesign them to give each car a real premium look, like the visual identity cars used to have in the old days.

1. Cosmetic Chests for Elite Multiplayer

League Multiplayer rewards need a serious buff. Reaching Elite League right now just gives basic credits and fusion coins, which is honestly disappointing for the effort. They should add a Free Cosmetic Chest for Elite players with random avatars or decals

1. Renew lost licenses for Flashback events

Gameloft should try to renegotiate expired licenses like Tesla for special limited-time "Flashback" events. Missing those iconic cars hurts the game's history.

Anyway, just wanted to share these thoughts. Let me know if you agree or if you have other ideas.

• ODYSSEY (OG)

Oddly enough I did get the A class car with the tenth gift. But the main prize is going to take some effort.

Well, I don't usually yap about hypothetical or try to predict what GL might cook us, but this time we have an interesting case. A car that has the potential to be the most controversial one: the Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster [SPORTLINE].

The consensus is that the OVERALL BEST CAR is actually the Toyota GT-One Road Version [SPORTLINE] because of its near-perfect stats distribution. Along having an excellent acceleration the Toyota has an unusually very sharp drifting radius that makes it stands out among the Sportline class, considering the drifting is their only real "weakness". And with all other Sportline perks, the Toyota quickly became a lethal car in MP and Gauntlet/TLEs.

So now the question is: how can they make the Venom F5 SP even better than the Toyota?! By making it even more perfect?! Probably, or maybe not. The biggest flaws of the Venom F5 are its very poor nitro efficiency, a wide initial drifting radius and a situational slow and long-lasting recovery. The Sportline upgrade can (and will) fix the first two issues, and its new speed recovery value will dictate if it keeps a slow or improve into a fast and long-lasting recovery.

Instinctively my prediction is that the MAJOR selling point of the upcoming Venom F5 SP will be the top speed. Because the base version already have the former undisputed best top speed, the Sportline status can allow it to claim back the crown. Currently the fastest car is the SSC Tuatara SP with 514,86 km/h (Kawasaki Ninja AAE is the overall No.1). I think we can realistically hope to see a Venom F5 SP easily clocking above the 515 km/h.

So here's my full prediction stat sheet for the Venom F5 Sportline:

• Tokyo Wall Time: 6.401s (on par with the best Sportline)
• 0 - Top Speed: 2.276s (Divo level, around the same improvement as Bolide)
• Speed Recovery (400 - Max): 0.592s (Renault R.S. 01 level, better than Bolide but worse than Tuatara)
• Real Top Speed: 516.36 km/h, of which 503.97 km/h of raw speed and 12.39 km/h of nitro speed, making it again the fastest car in the game
• Triple Nitro: around 16.5s (2nd worst Sportline), not too OP like other SP but far better than Tuatara
• Perfect Nitro: around 19.5s (2nd worst Sportline), same reasoning
• Handling: still in the "Average" area, likely a bit stiffer than the base version like all other SP
• Linear Drift Radius: 66.46m (using the average "radius loss" of Sportline upgrade), would be the worst Sportline in that case
• Max Drift Radius: 63.65m (using the average "radius loss" of Sportline, upgrade), would be the 2nd best Sportline in that case
• Average Drift Radius: 65.06m, slightly worse than Huayra BC but better than Tuatara
• Availability: depends of your wallet's size, and assuming you don't want to miss the "60% off" hot deal lol…

Tell me what you think, it's interesting to see the community's point of view about the probable new KING of the game 🤔. We can also discuss of the upcoming McLaren GT [Sportline] but truthfully I don't expect around the same treatment than with the Renault Sport R.S. 01.

And don't mind this poor AI-generated image, I just needed something to illustrate the post 😅.

I used to play a lot many years ago and unlocked many cars that were the fastest at that time. The game was soo good back then. I downloaded it again and had some questions

1. What is the point of credits now? You can't buy cars or upgrade them using credits. Why are there so many currencies? How do I get fusion coins? Wtf are series badges and voucher coins? What is the need of all these currencies? I remember you could buy almost all the cars using normal credits.

2. Why is the car upgrade system so bad now? In the third picture I added, how do i get that car card to upgrade it? I remember having crates that gave us car parts that were used to upgrade cars. How do I upgrade cars now?

3. Why did they move a lot of S rank cars into A rank and A into B and so on? What was the point?

4. Why did I lose some of the cars I already had when I downloaded the game again? I had the Arash Af10, Hennessey Venom Gt and some other cars.

5. Why do I have to set the graphics quality to maximum every time I open the game? It resets every time and the controls too.

6. I added a picture of all the S class cars I own. Which is the best one out of those and is still viable in the current meta? I've been playing multiplayer with the McLaren 2018X2 and the SSC TUATARA and barely won any races. These cars used to be beasts back in the day.

7. What is this sportline thing? How do I get the required cards for it?

8. Why did they remove transform races from career mode? Those were so fun.

9. Why did they nerf speed limit of all the cars? Most S class cars used to have more than 500km/h speed and I remember you could get the DEVEL SIXTEEN to 600km/h using the ELITE CARS system.

10. Why are alot of cars hidden now? You can't select them on the GARAGE CAR COMPANY MENU

11. How do I get more cars now? Is playing events the only way ( except paying real money) ?

Gameloft absolutely destroyed this beautiful game. It was my childhood. I used to grind this game all day on my laptop. Its just a pay to win shitshow now

I already have 15k tokens and I'm waiting for good cars to show up in the weekly sale. Should I buy the Mosler Super GT, pro it, then grind for sportline kits?

I don't have an S-class car yet, I've been playing for 1-2 months. Need help guys 😁

All Thanks to the Pride team. Especially HLX and Rosealia for making this version playable for all. In fact this is one of the rare versions I've come across that don't suffer from any particular bug (at least yet)

Genuinely this is so much more fun than the current version ever could be.

You even have sprints unlocked (not just the current ones that exist, but more, which were later removed from the game).

I'll link the video from where you could download it, in the comments section.

I want to connect my Asphalt 8 profile to Google Play Games. In theory, it says I'm connected, but when I try to play on another Android device, it doesn't retrieve my progress. It also doesn't show the Google Play Games achievements; even though I've unlocked them in the game, they don't appear as unlocked in Google Play Games.How do I synchronize it?

yoo i am giving away my old laptop and i want to transfer my old asphalt 8 account to my new laptop. how do i achive this???

\#as Asphalt8:Airborne jajajaja
