So I would like to invite you Rdoyle to some multi-player for CCR which I find is a ton of fun with discord. It really adds a lot I think to the game. I personally really like the change of pace from Hiest or lexy which adds a lot I think to how the P3 can play differently which each playfield.
I dont want to get bogged down directly arguing points you made but hope that with some time maybe you find more enjoyment out of the module, I know that I do.
I like the rules there and maybe there could be some more callouts while in arcade mode/ races themselves like when you get passed or use/get hit with item, however those are things that can totally be added with feedback just like how they added career mode after the fact as well.
Anyways If you want to do some discord CCR hit me up, happy to add you and get a game going with some other P3 guys!
