Players find the grinding in the game excessive for a casual experience, though it is somewhat mitigated by the potential for bonuses and upgrades as they progress. While there are incentives to engage in farming for better cars and enhancements, the overall grind may deter some casual gamers.
- “This amount of grinding is not reasonable for a casual game.”
- “Once you get better cars, you'll also find bonus opportunities (drift, burnout). You can get NOS, so there is incentive to play, although there will be farming involved if you want something better.”
