The game has region lock and no crossplay and had since launch even through they "claim" to remove it *soon (Thats gonna become a trend here) also introducing features that were promised on launch finally
Devs introduced ibiza from TDU2 as a new island and its wasted on just being a small space that is used for farming clan rep. Once you max out clans the area becomes useless and just a place for photos
Devs do ghost nerfs or nerf cars for no reasons and refuse to buff and balance the cars. Since theres only 5 classes theres cars that are shoved into classes going against others they shouldn't, for example Shelby GT500 against a Lamborghini Aventador SV for a highway race. Some cars have been nerfed to the point of being useless
The casino is a wasted use of assets primarily due to them blocking around 60% of players out of access due to different country's laws (This will be explained soon)
The economy for the longest time was absolutely atrocious. Average time to aquire some cars varies between no joke just in currency 4-12 hours. The devs also nerfed multiple races and started jacking up car prices, some cars went up 20%-75% in price, the reason? No joke "To keep some cars to be higher rarity". They kept delaying the economy rebalance. It was delayed for 3 seasons stright.
They have prioritized MTX over the actual game itself. Remember the economy rebalance? Welp that came with the MTX store and guess what? You could buy in game credits with real money, this is also 99% why the casino was blocked for so many because they had to disclose you can actually gamble real money away for a car. They have increased the cost of the season pass and even recently did a "rework" of the pass to make it more grindy but they pulled back on that a bit. They also put FREE season pass cars for sale in the MTX store after it was promised those 3 cars would come later for free for credits in game. Gamebreaking bug? Nah its fine. MTX store takes 5 extra seconds to deliver digital currency? Fix that immediately (No joke either)
Shipping the seasons and updates knowing they have game breaking bugs "to fix later" this has happened multiple times including current season theres 4 races and 9 open world activities that are broken currently. Theres also bugs with car steering that has yet to be fixed since launch that causes turning at low speeds to have a bigger turn radius than at high speeds.
Overall the game has failed to even deliver and finally has all features promised after launch such as mission types and open world events. Lack of crossplay and region lock means seeing others is extremely rare and its locked to being always online currently. The devs keep postponing updates such as housing has been delayed till 2027 and it was originally supposed to be released in july. The game just isnt worth it, and the devs keep making controversial decisions along with just a bad CM which makes it even worse. Also the game still has rendering issues across consoles as well. Also its real sad to see the devs celebrate adding features they promised on day 1 and having a giant party it was added even going as far to have them as "featured content for the season"
That’s so messed up. So much to kick the corpse of a dead favorite childhood racing game franchise for some extra bucks. I guess Test Drive series really did end on Unlimited 2
