I don't like the recent changes with ranked factoring in racer level. Ranked modes are about your rank and skill, and the entire system is skewed now because people at higher tiers will run into players with less skill at lower tiers and dominate, thus incorectly accelerating those players into tiers that they may not otherwise earn or should be at. Its important to protect the experience of low level racers but not at the expense of other players experience.
vivid spoke
Ranked should offer some onboarding protection, such as level advantages being disabled through a specific Rank. For example, all Racers are capped at two stars and level 15 through MPR X.
Afterward, Ranked takes a 'gloves are off' approach where level advantages are enabled. At some point, levels must mean something other than AI with LTE's and bot races. Ranked matches should not be based on levels. If people want an equal playing field, Regulated Multiplayer is there.
I am reaching new heights that I never imagined I could and with ease due to the vast number of inexperienced and low-skill players with high-level Racers in higher lobbies. Racers in that segment won't progress much, so it isn't fair to them to race against skilled players just because their Racers are higher.

Way to go gameloft. You matchrd me with someone 3 mpr higher than my mpr 29 Meg aka not even in the same league and theyre a genie which means they have a higher chance to have their gold character than mine. Well done lying that you match based on mpr.

here is my feedback about the ranked gameplay i have found the ranked play is very unbalanced when it comes to match other racers with higher ranked its unfair to those that don't have as much skill or to new players that have just started playing the game you should also make the rank up mtr give more racer shards and season tour token over speed tokens
narrow drift
Here i my feedback on Ranked Multiplayer.
If you are going to have races that end up being less than five people, then the loosing person should not be penalized for losing. 1v1 races and three player races, if you lose you go down in points even though you still finished in the top three.
Cashing out your MPR points at the end of the season making the person go down levels needs not to happen, unless at every level they gain back they get rewards as well, it sucks having to slowly climb back up and not be rewarded for regaining your levels.
The clock powerup in Ranked multiplayer needs to go away. It is too easy to abuse and is too powerful. Ranked Multiplayer races are only two laps to start with. The clock boost powerup can put someone from last to frist or even ahead if the pack is close together.
prisma seal
Again, the amount of people with bad connections in ranked are increasing. They get a massive advantage since they can side swipe you but you can't side swipe them. With the way they are teleporting all over the track they gain other advantages as well. This really need to be sorted out with separate ques for these people.

Point loss needs to be adjusted!
For example, 4th place in a 7 man lobby gains points, but 5th in 8 man lobby loses a lot of points.
Like what's the difference? Both have 3 people that have placed after.
Then 1 vs 1 is very constant above champ rank. If you get 1st, you get 60 points, if you get 2nd, you lose 50.
It's insane.
rich warren
The system in place to prevent high racer level, low MPR racers from being matched with low racer level, low MPR racers should apply to all MPR.
Racer level should never have to factor into a race, period.
I hear some people complaining that this then shifts the disparity towards the differences in MPR. To which I say: "Good."
From here the issue is then about the point gains/losses for placements being flat values, instead of taking a proper algorithm into account and weighting you placement and MPR against the MPRs of the players you beat/lost to, and that must also be corrected.
open plover
Pretty good racing but I think the ranked multiplayer needs to have everyone get points each instead of losing the ranks really because some people do race and work hard at the same time getting the items they want for their racers.

Why can't I party with friends who are greater than +/- 10 MPR difference? I am matching with racers who are almost 20 MPR higher than me anyway. At least let me queue up with my friends.

This should not be how you treat your players who have been dedicated since season one especially when the reason many high players are low mpr is because you pushed us back. I was level 20 bo peep to get an item and bejng sent back to 13 now makes it take forever to get anywhere AND I GET NO REWARDS for this torture. This is how you lose veteran playerbase and how you get them to tell people not to purchase your game

I agree the cash out option at the start of a new season need to go away, losing MPR levels sucks to start with, but to have up to sevel levels taken away and no rewards for each one you gain back make it feel like it isnt worth racing that character anymore or even playing ranked mulitplayer as what is the point if you are just going to lose your progress at the end of the season.

I have been playing consistently since s1 but have stopped playing ranked since a week. My MP Box is gone since i apparently emptied it. I get loads of new MP Coins after the season but have nothing to spend them on. This means ranked is pointless to play for me since the only incentive earlier was to get season coins for the duplicate cosmetics.

Multiplying is very difficult, you often play with people at a much higher level than you and it becomes an unfair race, and when you get to diamond or champion it becomes more difficult, the races don't always end in 8 runners and you end up losing points very easily.

paper chasm
I started the game this season when it came out as f2p. I bought the lilo and stitch character pack because that’s my fav series growing up as a kid. Seeing this new change does somewhat make me regret getting stitch to emerald just so I could 2 star him. Same thing with my jumba who is sitting in plat. However, I have not laid a finger on the rest of the cast and with this new system, I am thankful for the changes being made so I can speed up the process for my lilo, angel, and gantu. Also with the recent stitch nerf, I’m not so much in a hurry to get him to 3 stars either. Although I am looking forward to utilizing the new limited timed event that will help forward the process for my stitch which will hopefully help with my progress. My closing statement is that, I do understand why veterans are concerned about the cost of the new system being implemented. But I also understand that the current system is designed to provide the best possible solution for the current players to help speed up their development and get them to reach newer heights so that the veterans are able to compete with more established players and improve the game experience by increasing the number of players in their ranks so that there’s more players to play with and keep the game growing in popularity with the new players. So I like it lol
tardy grove
started early november and have played ranked alot and have most characters ive unlocked at mpr 16 already or higher. Not mentioning this change sooner at the minimum is not friendly to your recent players. Its an unnecessary slight to people who started in season 4 to not get the rewards change retroactively though i ultimately think everyone should get the rewards as well.

Hi guy's,
New player here, have been playing for about 3 week's.
Soooo....I just read those patch notes....
Overall welcome changes, a bit sad about nerfing my Belle but that's ok. I think upping the upgrade materials in ranked is a very necessary step....
BUT!
At the very least, provide the difference in materials for the already reached MPR!
All my favourite characters, that I'm definitely wanting to play, are at MPR26 or higher.....yes I played a lot of rank, it's fun after all.....but this change?
It's a big ol' slap in the face!
I literally just grinded all my Mickey & Friends last weekend to MPR 16/21 so I can upgrade my Mickey from 22 to 35.....just so I can get those rewards from the Aladdin Seasonal Event.....and now you are basically telling me: "Your fault for playing our game?"
You really should at the very least, give everyone their missed rewards from that change, it's only fair.
Edit:
I just hope you don't increase the shards you get for ranked, since you are saying to make it easier to reach 3 Star....that would be a huge blow.....and honestly I might quit then if you don't provide compensation
sturdy mason
The missing out on reward changes was being explained with "if you grinded ranked you didn't need them anyway" which may be true for Founders considering the time frame but it sounds like the existence of f2p players who joined at S4 was forgotten. I as one of them could dearly use every extra upgrade part, even common, I could get. I and I'm sure many of us have a bunch of lvl1 but rank 16 racers due to no upgrade parts for them or having them hoarded for whatever event that could suddenly demand a sharp jump from 1 to 25 or more on somebody or new season racers or more aimed unlocks.
I sincerely doubt those increased rewards and the pit stop will magically solve entire upgrade-part-draught for new or even season-old players thus we still need everything we can get to keep up with the ever growing rooster.
But now it feels like I'm punished for investing my time doing early ranks on everyone I currently own.
It really makes no sense to not consider adding missed rewards retroactively or some form of compensation. As far as I heard such things were done before so why not now? This literally would help everyone who needs them and hurt nobody who doesn't need them.
manic frigate
Maybe create a patch feedback section for this complaint?
Either reset ranked in full so all cam get the rewards, or, more easily, give compensation to those that have already hit those reward tiers that have been changed
proud frigate
The changes in Ranked Rewards for season 5 while for new characters is good, for people who grind characters (including me) last month and weeks feel a face slap. I did a lot of grinding for level 2* characters spending hours to get enough materials to level up it and other characters. It's not fun to have to do that Jafar and Hades.... Mind you might have something for us players that did it and didn't announce. But honestly I would love to see the MPR resetted for once if this goes through. Honestly i would play a lot more multiplayer then if I have rewards to go back to. But please think of a reward/compensation for us that went through this with our characters. I honestly play MPR for the rewards not for the MPR level.
idle horizon
If you're gonna rise the rewards for rank for people who haven't played it while screwing the ones that already unlocked them, that's being one sided. Not fair at all considering that's the only multiplayer aspect of this game. People who already played rank should be compensated for the missing rewards or just reset the entire reward pool entirely.
plain tiger
Thank you for removing all motivation to grind. Showing that I may get the short end if I tackle objectives is the best way to keep my interest. Now whenever something comes around, I will wonder if I should progress so hastily. Should I recommend the game to friends who ask about it when they may just be short changed down the road? Doesn't seem responsible.
foggy hound
I'll be blunt, this is an awful way to handle rewards. So it's like a one and done sort of deal, and any reason to even to go for Ultimate Champion is heavily dampened. Other games I've played have reset rewards whenever a new season starts, but not you apparently. Especially for those that are F2P and want to get the Golden Pass without paying a cent. The only method of doing so is squandered because of this decision, and that's not a good look at all. Playing for bragging rights is one thing, but to not have any incentive to continue playing for the rewards because once you get them, you can't get it again next season is another.
keen ledge
I am another person who joined the game since it went f2p. I have struggled so hard to have enough materials to level up many of the racers I unlocked (to the point where I have 6 characters stuck at level 1) who I decided to rank up in mpr because I had basically ran out of content to play but I wanted to still get more hours logged. My lowest mpr is 13, but only 2 racers are that low. Everyone else is 16+ mpr with my top end racers at 26.
Why am I being punished for enjoying the game so much I was even willing to grind low level characters just to make little bits of progress? After the debacle of exchanging leveling materials for the founders being done before going f2p and now this, it's really showing the intent of disregarding any people who have played for longer, be it from season 1 or season 4.
At least there was some form of compensation for those founders when the upgrade materials were changed. Fair enough figuring out exactly what each person would be owed might be problematic but there appears to be absolutely no plans for any kind of apology items, no matter how basic.
ANY gesture would be appreciated. It makes no sense for the longevity of this game to spit in the faces of the people who enjoy it the most and therefore play more.
thin marlin
One word: Amazing!
Amazing changes to ranked, single and double drinks, and some low materials won't be nearly as bad to get. It's a bit weird triple drinks haven't changed at all, level 20 is pretty low too. This will be helpful to all new players.
boreal bear
Another person absolutely disgusted by the new parts quantities in ranked. I spent all season chasing clocks gaining 5 or 8 at a time and now you gain like 135 before Emerald? Insane.
nimble helm
I kinda wish the end of season rewards would grant the difference in upgrade materials. Like those that reach diamond receive the rewards from all the changes that they would have received. It would probably be more simple than doing it to the unique MPR. Then players would only be losing rewards for between tiers (like if they made it to 28 they would not receive the bonus rewards for 27 and 28 but would get the new rewards from 1-26)

Bread: 18 -> 85

frigid elm
I would not mind if the MPR rewards were increased slightly to help new players, but changing them tenfold and not compensating Players who already claimed them (Veterans as well as Players who just joined last Season too) earlier is outright cruel.
It makes me think twice if I should even play anymore, as this gives me a feeling of "just wait each season and don't buy anything, you'll get it for free after the season passed". This is extremely sad.

Please don't antagonise others for their feedback.
exotic jetty
I don't even know where to start... First of all, you have made a very necessary and very good change to the ranked rewards. A change that would have pleased your entire player base, you had it so easy... But no, you have decided to annoy your current player base that keeps your multiplayer and consequently your game alive. You have decided to punish players who have grinded for materials. I myself, due to the lack of red cans, first subbed all the racers to MPR4 to get 6 measly red cans, now you can get 45 in the first level... I have grinded level 1 racers racers to MPR16 and level 15 racers to MR21 to get 9 measly collection materials now you get 85 ! Don't you see how meesed up this is? Do not sell me the story that you ha-ve already tried to sell that they are low-level materials that we do not need, nor that it is a lot of work since there are million cases, maybe you will sell it on to an ignorant person but not to me. It is very easy to track and automate who should receive the rewards retrospecti-vely. I don't know who made the decision to do it this way but congratulations while the player base declines day by day, instead of rewarding your active players you punish them this way. I suppose you still have time to fix it, but the feeling you leave us players with is very bad. Again I love the game and I love to grind, just don't punish your most loyal players
glacial grove
The change of rewards in MPR is absolutely unfair for everyone who ranked up already.
I progressed with several characters to get as many clocks as possible, and now I could have gotten 5 times as much with just one character?
This is such a disrespect of the time and the energy players invested in the game.
desert bobcat
Instead of the current system, create a new system that resets rewards, at least the upgrade materials - short term the current system will draw in players but eventually they will not feel the need to touch ranked again 'cause even if their rank resets, they'll have everything hey would wanna get.
(Also just a side note to the people leaving feedback on the ranked changes, we should probably at least see what the new limited event is. 'Cause like, 85 clocks isn't an issue if you do one of those events and it also gives you 85 clocks.)

Please compensate the new users at least (the ones that started in season 4) the material gains if not everyone such a massive change shouldn't be unawarded to the players that stuck with the game prior I know gameloft has the power to do so literally the item numbers are right infront of our faces in the daily shop lol

I only see three paths forward.
I paid for characters. That makes me silly but still, I paid for them. And I took them all through ranked and now they're stuck at level 25. Had the new system been in place, they would all be level 35 by now. How does this encourage me to spend money in the future? You need to set this right.

So you decided to punish veteran players by not giving us rank up materials from the MPR rewards for the sole reason that we already earned rewards?! Seriously, fix this.

These new rewards for ranked are nice but have royally messed with veteran players. Especially right after a sale too! It doesn't look good.
There are still many of us who are starved of bread and other materials and now newer players get them freely?
Even the new events being added won't help alleviate the grind for genie, jafar, or aladdin since we can't choose them apparently.
You really should be giving everyone the rewards for those who have already reached those ranks.
small citrus
"Rewards for progressing through the different MPR Leagues can only be earned once, which means that some of our veteran players will not be able to benefit from the aforementioned increase in rewards."
This is really unfair for all players who have strong commitment into your game !
You should seriously think about giving the reward's difference (at once at the update for example) for each MRP lvl already pass for all drivers to all players !
steady widget
As a veteran player i really wouldn’t have minded even if it was just double or triple the rewards, but some of these stacks changed from 12 to 85 which is nearly 7 times the amount of rewards from earlier, making any current players MPR grind 7 times more lucrative than it was for us? There’s a lot of materials that got boosted I’ve been trying to collect for weeks, hourglasses, bread, rockets, shaved ice, monsters inc doors, I’ve had next to no access to these materials after getting each character to MPR 26 and now I’m locked out of the boosted rewards for my efforts. This is a horrible way to treat veterans, you’d be better off resetting ranked entirely.
still oxide
While I admire the argument of "closing the gap" between F2P players and EA veterans, I feel like the execution of the distribution of the rewards is very poorly made.
The general feeling the "veterans" community has gotten from this is that we got shafted for essentially playing your game, which SHOULD NEVER be a good thing in a live service game. If this change got implemented in every other way, maybe things would have felt different but as it stands, the people who were already playing and supporting the game feel like they've made a mistake by pouring hours into the Ranked Multiplayer grind.
brave ether
I think the changd to increase rewards was great as long as we still can earn them in limited events. It will help players out a lot.
I'm not as concerned about past seasons, but Alladin kind of was unfair to everyone. New and early access players.
I still need a ton of bread.
If I didn't do ranked with them, I could've got like 500 bread between the 4 racers. As it stands, I only have 1 alladin racer past level 30 and I bought some bread to be able to do that. My jafar is still level 23.
Almost feels like us players are punished for ranking up Alladin this season.
It would be nice to at least get some consimpation for bread, hour glasses, and potions. I'm not asking for rewards for every collection, but at least the alladin season would be nice for everyone.

Feedback for Ranked rewards update Nov 28th 2023
Overall Sentiment: Mixed/Leaning Negative
General change:
Sentiment: Very Positive
The overall update to mats is an excellent QoL change; both welcome and sorely needed. Many new players (with the free to play launch) and some vets have found it challenging to upgrade characters regularly. Especially those in collections with higher counts of racers (see: Mickey and friends/clocks). This should lead to a much healthier balance going into season 5 with the new characters as well as for incoming players and the global mobile launch in 2024
However
Execution and lack of retroactivity for veteran or newly joined free to play players
Sentiment: Negative
While the change itself is an awesome measure, the exclusion of current players, especially ones that began with the free to play launch this season, who have been some of the most vocal in requesting some avenue to acquiring resources as everything from basic red cans to lower mats (such as clocks or blocks) are hard fought. Often gained thru under leveled ranked play (taking low level, even level 1, racers up to level 18). With the new change those hard fought gains now feel tarnished as these characters have missed out on substantially increased rewards leaving players feeling like their progress is substantially stunted some to an extreme that their accounts bricked to the point the option of starting over may be a viable solution.
Suggestion
Many games offer some sort of " reset token" when changes of this magnitude are implemented allowing for restarts if desired. While Speedstorm isn't quite the same as many of those games, allowing the option for players to reset ranked if desired to reaquire this newly enhanced awards might be a viable solution. Another possible solution could be to redistribute rewards corresponding to current ranks (with or without tokens).
Thank you for your time and consideration.
manic frigate
I'm quite livid with the update change to Ranked rewards. Not because they changes aren't good, but because we were told yesterday that these are only "low level upgrade materials".
Looks like the biggest barrier, (like Bread for Aladdin collection racers) now provides FIFTY BREAD per racer. You've legit told people that they've wasted so much time playing your game since one racer to mpr 15 is now is more than all of the bread given beforehand.
I pushed every Aladdin racer to mpr 26 without spending this season and I've been punished. I can only imagine how upset people who started this season that lost 50-200 of a collection upgrade materials that did spend to unlock a racer or buy upgrade materials.
Thank you for showing your player base that you give no value to our time put into the game.
humble escarp
Just here to add the group collective to voice my disappointment about the fact that the fact that there aren’t retroactive rewards is absolute nonsense. It makes it so playing previously was a complete and total waste and so many of us are being punished simply for having played before this update. @ the devs (not aj), do better. This is so beyond disappointing and makes it so so many of us now don’t want to play.
Reward the players who have been here with retroactive rewards. If you know the amount it should have been versus what it was, assign the items out according to the level in a group sum for the level + the items missed per character. so SO many multiplayer games do this; the fact that DISNEY as a company apparently can’t is honestly insane to me and quite literally unbelievable. This is just punishing players who bothered to play ranked
Like. As someone who put ACTUAL money, a fair bit of it, into this game in order to BUY COMPONENTS that weren’t accessible at the time, its like i’m being further punished for it by now not being allowed to have access to the items that are free for everyone else because I played ranked. Its insane and absolutely absurd.
lone cloud
really not a fan of the fact that anybody who played ranked multiplayer before today is permanently locked out of hundreds if not thousands of upgrade parts and currencies. it's really discouraging to veteran players who already did all the hard work, and are now permantly locked out of all of these rewards simply for playing the game.
it's a very poor design choice and should really be rectified. simply gifting players what they are owed after the changes would be a simple fix. or even reseting ranked rewards entirely so that veterans get a little extra on top of it. something to make it feel like dedicated players didnt waste hours upon hours just for newbies to get handed everything on a silver platter

hey there gameloft staff i a new player to this game with the new patch that just came out i find its not fair to those that just started playing this season and to those that have been playing form season 1 to now i feel let we should all have the same rewards as those that where i the closed beta please make it so we F2P have the same.

This change has killed all my incentive to play ranked and this game in general. Give us all our due materials and mp coins
plain tiger
An easy fix for ranked would just be to let all achieved levels be claimed again. Yes, we would have additional from before, but the difference is far less than not getting at all. Just another idea. Sooner the better. People will still be burned from clocks due to the jump for S4 chapter requirements. After the season may just make them feel jipped.
One possibility to implement would be that on next load, it would read all currently obtained ranks has just achieved and distribute rewards accordingly as if you just got the points. Maybe you need to race with each character to activate for that character's rewards. Logistics to avoid crashing and implementation would be dependent on how the game is built.

Either make us all restart from Rookie and let us re-level up to earn the new rewards, or retroactively have us earn the rewards we would of had had we not played before the change. It feels discouraging to be basically punished for playing sooner and the difference in in the rewards is too dractic to be ignored (we went from 4 red cans to 45 for Mpr 1)
Players who started at Season 4 currently can rarely level their racers to 15 even after getting to Mpr16, let alone complete Season 4's Season tour due to level 35 requirements on Mickey and Donald (That is a lot of required clocks, which were also multiplied in ranked)
Basically, Season 5 players will more easily catch-up and outrank to Season 4 players with older characters (For example: Mickey, Donald and Goofy) due to being able to level them up with materials the Season 4 players cannot get

Honestly, it’s a slap in the face to every player that was encouraged to play ranked this season. The rewards are 10x larger you say? And the players who you told to play ranked to get rewards actually listened? Welp, shouldn’t have listened! Because now every new player that unlocks a character will be way further ahead in level, which in turn will make it a lot more difficult to play ranked, especially underleveled. This new change will leave the playerbase with less loyal players, since they were just told that their time doesn’t mean anything.
chilly jackal
I'm going to be honest. I grinded with Genie to Diamond on lv 25 because I was having a thrill on challenging myself to get rewarded and make my other characters even stronger and now I just feel like I'm stupid for trying this kind of thing. I was really happy with my achievements and now I just feel sad cuz those materials would keep me playing. For example: My Aladdin is lv 15 and I can't have more bread so I wont be finishing Aladdin's Materials Event on time. Same goes for Steamboat Mickey that mine is lv 15 and wont get any clocks. I had to use my materials for OTHER characters earlier but all my characters are emerald and above. With those new materials I would solve ALL my problems. But no, no materials for the guy who actually plays the game 😦
Edit: My Genie is now lv 35 and I reached Champion so imagine how invested in this game I am 😦

You spent a lot of time playing our game, and grinding for upgrade materials? Oh well, we don't care! Give us $500 for items everyone else got for free! Instantly lost any desire to play this game lol.
storm shadow
Disappointed that, due to time limited events, I felt pressure to do ranked to get character shards to star-up. And now because of this I've missed out on upgrade materials, and a lot of them. As someone who started at the beginning of Season 4, I don't have the upgrade material boost that the EA players got, and Im not getting the materials that the new players are getting. I'm in this weird middleground where I just don't get anything and I'm out of luck. Really negative change, and I wish this was communicated better with the playerbase before something like this happened.

I've been playing with 6 friends since the middle of season 4. We have raised several characters to platinum and diamond rank and now we will miss those hundreds of materials. We really don't want to continue playing, we feel like they are punishing us for being active in their game. If you don't fix this problem, me and my friends will not play anymore and we will never touch any Gameloft game again.
golden wadi
I spent well north of 60 hours grinding every single character out of the 37 available to MPR 26 this season. Turns out a huge chunk of the money I've spent on the game could have been saved by simply not playing it! Message received Gameloft, I won't fall for that one again and I would encourage others to think twice before spending money when Gameloft can just move the goalposts again.
modern bluff
Here's some math, I can't remember if we got 5 or 7 red cans at bronze but let's go with 7 just to give benefit of the doubt:
If I get all 37 characters to bronze 2 or whatever it is that is 257 red cans for me.
With this update, if a new player get the starting four characters to bronze (Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Mulan) that is 300 cans!!
And if anybody after s4 gets all 37 characters and does this that means they get 2775 cans!
That is so ridiculous! I get that you want to help new players get into the game, which I should state is a great thing, but essentially saying "screw you" to everyone who dared to play the game before s5 really really sucks. Like it feels like what's the point of playing, grinding, and spending money when an update will come in future and just erase over half of that. Honestly it really really stings, it feels like you don't care about who came before just who is coming next. I'm not saying we need 100% of everything new players get but good parts compensation of ANY KIND would be at least appreciated. Please reconsider GameLoft.
UPDATE: I apologize I did my math wrong, it's 45 cans for bronze 2 and 75 for bronze 4 which means it's 120 cans per character, which is 4440 cans for all 37 characters, my mistake guys, silly me.
fair inlet
I just want to leave some positive feedback in here.
The changes in the rewards are a great step towards balance ranked MP and helping new players, even those who started in season 4.
This does not mean I agree with veterans clearly being slighted, just that I think the change is still a net positive in the end.
cursive schooner
they gonna fix the issue with the rewards from ranked?
slow yoke
Please fix the retroactive rewards for the players who has grinded through MPR with low level characters. The changes are great for the future but should be retroactive for S4 and earlier players who have high level MPR and low level characters.
cobalt mantle
I love the new ranked multiplayer rewards. what I do not like, however, is not getting the difference from the MPRs I’ve already completed. e.g., I’ve been grinding with Aladdin yesterday before the update to get 18 loaves of bread, had I done that today I would have gotten 135 loaves of bread. this is kind of making me feel defeated as a day 1 player
spring flicker
I started playing about three weeks into Season 4.
I agree the new changes with Ranked means that players that come in new for Season 5 will now have a much easier time gathering materials. I agree that change was needed and I think it's a smart move, considering how judicious current players needed to be when choosing how to spend their resources.
The issue, as many people have already voiced, is the lack of retroactively reimbursing players (both EA and F2P) who, like me, grinded many characters up the levels of Ranked in an attempt to gather those same materials.
I understand you have to keep evolving to upkeep the game and attract new players. This does not mean that you should alienate the current player base. This move, while done with good intent, has clearly ruffled a lot of feathers.
While I'm only one person, I'm clearly not alone in this. Please hear what we're saying and take the steps needed to make it right.
opaque thistle
In regards to the MPR rewards changes: Either give us a retroactive reward like you did for collection level or reset the whole thing and gave us the ability to re-earn the ranked rewards like some have suggested. But locking us out of them all together is a very cruel punishment for investing so much time playing this game.
lime saffron
Not to beat a dead horse, but these changes to the Ranked MP rewards need to be addressed.
For instance, I have all of my Aladdin Racers at MPR 26. Of these, only Aladdin is considered a high level at 35 while Genie, Jafar, Jasmine, etc are all stuck between Level 20-25. You’re telling me that because I grinded for hours to get them to a high MPR that I now can’t even unlock the 10x bread that is granted with the rewards? And not only that, I have no way to get this bread to level up my characters as compared to players who can start an Aladdin MP grind now and easily take their characters to 40 with less effort and time committed. As a dedicated player with over 200+ hours of playtime who has told friends and family all about this game, I would hope for this to be addressed. Or else you can certainly count me out as a future customer
dense ginkgo
So you fix a known problem with the ranked rewards but you don’t help the players that have already been screwed by the problem!?! Help me see the logic. At this point I’ll take a rank rewards/level reset button to re-achieve the missing/adjusted rewards.

Another disatisfied Day 1 user (over 400 hours and a few tokens here and there). THIS was the season I went hard on MPR. Everyone 16+, MANY to 25, including all Aladdin which 3 of them are now stuck until I can slowly work on them starting on S6. Do a one time gift to everyone on the difference of ALL the parts of all released racers so far please. Or reset ranked so we can grind again. I'd rather redo all the hours than miss out. I spent hours and hours and hours on ranked and now someone who unlocks Genie can get him to 40 and I'm stuck at 24. Please fix this, it's an easy fix.

Adding my piece to the feedback 🙂 without compensation (doesnt need to be full) i will just uninstall, New S4 player been playing 5 weeks. Spent around £30 on your game. I ain't a whale you probs wont miss me but its principle.

Ranked should either be reset or veteran players should be compensated the difference of materials pre and post patch
plucky spoke
You may have seen my recent meme video about the changes on Reddit. I hope you guys have a change of heart like Abu did in the movie and make our time not feel wasted. Even if the changes needed require delaying next season or a long period maintenance I really do think it's worth the effort to have some good will towards the current playerbase.
restive canopy
As a S4/F2P racer, it really annoying with the recent ranked MP rewards because of the promise that was given beforehand in addition to the amount of resoruce given resulting in ranked MP now being bloated in the sense which hurts both F2P, P2W, and monezation of Gameloft alot becuase now there not really any progress with earlygame anymore as you can just AFK Ranked to rank 14 and insta get to level 15 without much issue day one with almost every character you have avaibale. if it was just x2-3 of the low level , non collection stuff it would be fine, but for people to be locked out of tons of bread simply because they already did gmae progress just insult the curernt people within that range due to how much of a problem scarit og bread was. The best chance I whoelheartly if you really can not redeem or refresh ranked mp is to just reduced the amount so the people who already did the rpogress do not feel that lost
pearl vine
What's the thought process behind it not being retroactive? If you make it retroactive than that can only help. Players will want to use there hard earned materials on more racers and be more willing to buy more stuff in the shop. It not being retroactive just makes me not want to play anymore. What's there to stop me from thinking that you aren't willing to screw the community again? Imagine the crazy amount of goodwill you would have garnered with the community if you announced the better rank rewards and made it retroactive. There is no good reason for it not being retroactive so fix it .
tulip blade
Please reconsider your decision to not giving retroactively the new ranked rewards. I am a new player (started this season) and I was forced to ranked a lot of lvl 1 racers to be able to complete season tour chapters and various events. Now I am stuck with 11 lvl 1 racers that I can't level up in the near future for luck of materials (my minimum MPR is 16). As a new player I didn't know that the proper way to play this game was to not play it at all (at least for ranked). I feel so betrayed

Please reconsider your decision to not giving retroactively the new ranked rewar...
This. Please.

Imagine creating a game with a competative pvp ladder, and then locking the players who actually participated in it out of the rewards... (permanently).
late peak
To add my voice to recent events
Plain and simple the ranked rewards changes damages everyone if left not compensated
Founders should by this point have a good lot of the older cast to the 30s or 40s, they still suffered here in material limitations on Aladdin Collections and the Mid Season Racers now with this change leaving us out on multiple levels on them
For the newcomers this season who took Regulated from a possible 8 player race to near assured and who have made Ranked Diamond Ranks and also Champion at points stable already my heart goes out to them and most of all I hope any fixes helps them the most
Being left behind to others joining after a change especially so massively is unacceptable, the base you have is vital for more then just playing the game or being a potential paying consumer we're word of mouth
Even if it takes a while to implement, make a plan to properly compensate this and keep us up to date on it
wet bramble
Perhaps explaining the decision to withhold the extra rewards from folks who have already put hours into the grind would help.
Surely there’s a mutually beneficial solution other than just 🤷 “Nope”
idle horizon
Please compensate players who already played rank to complete other limited events. Everytime there's a new season they change things favoring some people and screwing some other. This is not fair, veteran players as well as new players have the same rights and deserve the same treatment specially when veterans players helped founded this game and you're gonna treat them like that?? This is just disrespectful.
fluid flower
Gameloft just showed us how little they care about their current player base with the ranked rewards increase.
I started at the beginning of season 4 and have played every day. I love the game but hate the metagame decisions being made. I was encouraged by everyone including the game itself to get as high in ranked as possible so I took all of my 30 new characters up to at least 16 MPR and many even further. Many of these characters are lvl 1-10 because they didn't offer enough low level resources to upgrade them. I would have been ok with the change if it were only a 2x increase but in some cases it's almost 7x more resources. So I would have been better off never playing ranked once last season.
Everybody is justifiably angry here. Very disappointing and super disrespectful. I'm going to hang around till Gameloft addresses it but after putting 100+ hours in the game and too much money this is the last straw for me. Unless they compensate us and strive to be better in the future I can't trust this developer anymore.
gritty apex
Just giving my 2 cents that a sudden change in the ranked ladder rewards and punishing early access/early free to play players feels wrong.
I'm all in on the increasing rewards, but these changes are wild. To put it in perspective, the changes would've been enough to get all 4 Aladdin racers enough bread, now, players who already did the ranked with all 4 of the racers would have to sacrifice at least one of the racers level-wise unless they'd spend money on upgrade parts or got lucky in the daily shop.
Similiar to the pro-parts update, I'm all in support of the change, I am not into this constant punishing of the existing player that's been done with these changes.
exotic jetty
I joined this season and had all my racers minium at platinum (level 1 racers) and most of them to emerald (level 15 racers). I grinded them all out for all resources I could get, so i can't enjoy these new great changes. Today I unlocked a new racer (mike), and by playing ranked I was able to upgrade him to 25 without any issues. How I'm suposed to feel having more than 10 low level racers with high MPR? Racers that are level 1 (the platinum ones) and level 15 (the emerald ones) that if I hadn't played your game at his maximum i could upgrade them all to 25, and know they are hardstucked on those low levels. Nice way to recompensate the player base that kept your multiplayer alive.
undone crescent
This is a total disrespect for the players. The F2P and the ones who bought a lot of upgrades.
I don’t see how this move is gonna be good for the game. If the objective was to kill the experience… well. You’ve made it.
jaunty moth
The new multiplayer reward system not being able to be collected by veteran players is lame and also hurts new players too... I've played for 2 weeks only and I was in desperate need of red energy drinks to complete some stages of the aladdin tour... So I grinded all of my characters to MPR 4 for the energy drinks, so now as a new player I can't collect the rewards I should have been able to... And am down by A LOT of materials.
shy mist
I made sure to get all my racers to level 4 recently to get the red drinks... now I cant get any more because all my characters already passed that...
stark night
I've joined this game about halfway through Season 4 and like so many others here, I've ranked up a LOT of my racers to MPR 13-16 to get the shards and the pink mats to be able to play the Season Journey and events with them.
I have a few racers at 25-30, my highest being Donald at 35. I specifically grinded all Mickey & Friends characters in Ranked just for him, so that I could at least complete one of the Level 35 branches in Chapter 10. I did that two days ago and wouldnt have done that if I knew this patch was coming without any compensation. I feel really sad that I spent so much time in Ranked the past few weeks.
Worse, I even recommended this game AND the "hey, play ranked to level up some of your chars" method to my sister, my partner and two friends. I feel like I gave them the worst possible advice since they are stuck in the same situation now. I'm all for increasing the rank rewards in general (because it really WAS a pain to get all the energy drinks and pink mats) and I do understand there are technical difficulties sometimes, but I'm wildly confused by the statement "yeah we know some of our veteran players miss out, tough luck". I'm not even a veteran, but I feel like I really joined at the worst possible time. Please reconsider a mat compensation or re-evaluation or some other way to help us catch up on the mats.

Unfair for veteran players and earlier free to play players (like me)

I’m glad I haven’t grinded as much as others for the season missions. This is absolutely insane and should definitely be compensated for in some way.

I want to preface that by saying Disney Speedstorm is super fun. The moment to moment gameplay is dope. Gameloft did a bang up job making Disney characters and locations come to life. And the soundtrack? Best of the year. If all this wasn't true I wouldn't have spent 150+ hours playing the game despite only jumping in during the Aladdin season
Season 5 ranked reward update is amazing for new players and whack for existing. A slap in the face. Gameloft does not respect our time or money
Now the bad part. I have 20+ characters ar very high ranks. Which means I am missing out on literally thousands of upgrade parts. What a slap in the face. It sucks to see because I was in it for the long haul. But I can't take this abuse. 2023 has been an astounding year for gaming. I'm sitting on Mario Wonder, Alan Wake 2, Rollerdrome, Persona 5 Tactica, etc. So if Gameloft doesn't offer proper compensation I'm going to bounce and go enjoy a game that respects my time and money
P.S. no matter what happens I hope this game succeeds. Even if I'm already long gone I hope the game becomes a better product for future players and has a long live service lifespan
agile patio
I started playing this season and i had to spend all the resources on the characters i acquired to be able to evolve a maximum of 3 characters. Now i see that i made a big mistake in investing time playing ranked and leaving all my characters at emerald/diamond rank (even though they are low level). Now i find myself in the following situation. I have several characters below level 7 because i don't have the resources to evolve them. It would be completely fair if you gave the possibility of getting ranked rewards again as i don't think you guys will reset the rank. At least give us the items we missed the chance to win. This update was good, but it was a big mistake not giving rewards to those who killed themselves playing ranked.

Restart our ranks and let us get all the rewards! I really don’t mind, would make the game so much more fun, if not I’m a have a sour taste in my mouth Everytime I look at my mpr. It’s just so annoying, honestly have no idea why you guys didn’t give us the difference, or at least let us earn it! Let us restart our ranks by choice.

I hate to sound negative but I do agree with everyone on here the ranked rewards and veterans not able to get those rewards is a slap in the face to us veteran players and us content creators who promote and play your game on stream imagine reading the patch notes live and reading "unfortunately our veteran players will not be able to get these rewards" imagine someone wanting to play the game and they see that message it will turn them away knowing the game company doesn't seem to care about their veteran players. Now that is not saying the reward changes are bad those are all welcome changes i'm all here for all the new players being able to catch up it will make rank mode popular and lobbies will be full but to say the veterans don't get anything is just a slap in the face to us all.
sacred jungle
I started playing like 3 weeks ago, spend lot of time playing underleveled in not fair conditions, got almost everything to Diamond and emerald by playing 15+ racers I would never play, just to get 2 characters on solid level I can compete with, even bought some epic bread for real money to be able to compete vs all those overleveled players, and so all that stressfull hardwork and grind was for what? So I can get big middlefinger in face by the fact that now others will get more rewards on my favorita characters I was not able to level hig enough, without single purchase in shop or battlepass, which me and many other new players who play around month? I play 3 weeks, got Jasmine rank 31, Genie 30, Aladin 29, Jafar 25 like sl*t being underleveled, and now people without battle pass will get those chars if they play season tour today and tommorow to max for free? Serious? What? Le what? If you either dont:
Otherwise this is dead for me. Such a great gameplay locked behind insanely bizare progressing system which basicaly became your 2nd work for last month, just so I can remain competetive and then game punish you for it... Give us what we deserve.

I joined this discord just to comment on the ranked rewards change. It really is an unmitigated burn. Just give people their retroactive rewards, it just makes sense. I shouldnt have to remake my account just to get rewards I've already earned, c'mon now.
keen saddle
Disney Speedstorm developers, I urge you to reconsider your stance on the updated MPR rewards system. As a dedicated player, it's disheartening to see that we won't be receiving the enhanced MPR rewards for ranks we've already achieved.
While it's great for new players, this decision neglects the commitment of F2P veterans and founders. We feel overlooked and this could lead to a loss of motivation among long-term players. Please, consider granting these rewards retroactively to maintain fairness and player motivation. The ideal course of action seems clear.
mellow abyss
I agree with this unfair treatment the developers have made to the players who have been playing before season 5. The new change benefiting those who have not ranked and not with those already played 100 or more hours and have stuck around. I have been here since the beginning and supported early access and gave feedback and ideas as well to better the game. We need to feel like we matter and the time and money we put in the game. Please fix this mess, I understand a bit why the change is happening. But this is not fair for how much myself or anyone else has invested in this game. Please reward us for our loyalty and don’t toss an otherwise good game and lose a ton of support. I am so close myself to dipping as well, there are several of fun games with good business decisions.

Joined to say this change for retroactive rewards needs to happen, not only because it's the right thing to do for people who have played for so long but it's also impossible for those who've already leveled characters to get anywhere now.

I've already seen a lot of people complaining about not receiving the rewards for changing the multiplayer and it doesn't seem to have solved anything there are more than 100 complaints on this subject and it seems that we are being ignored here as if no one responsible for the game really cared about the customers who played the game, at least we want a yes or no answer and we haven't even had that, why are we ignored, I would like a real answer from those responsible for the game.
upbeat ice
Just wanted to voice my frustration with the ranked rewards.
I got all of my racers to at least MPR 4 because I desperately needed those red cans. Now seeing that you get a total of 120 red cans instead of 12 for reaching MPR 4 feels like I got scammed and wasted my time.
Not to mention all the rare franchise specific upgrade materials I also missed out on.
Gameloft even sold the rare upgrade materials in the store for real currency. They were much harder to obtain which enticed people to buy them. Now they are granting over 10x the rewards, but most people who played ranked multiplayer before today's update are not eligible for these rewards.
chilly jackal
Please Gameloft just do what is right. A lot of us players are suffering from lack of materials and being loyal grinding MPR on a daily basis while new events do not come. We have characters on Champion, Diamond, Emerald, Platinum, a lot of characters that are now stuck on low level because of the short materials. Do the right thing and gives us what your efforts are to be meant. The game is great and we love it, we just want what is right to us and our loyalty.
I hope this time you guys are taking to anwers us has everything to do with trying to solve the problem and come back with exciting news, and not a way to try to get rid of our needs by ignoring us until we stop.
This game is GOLD. We absolutely love the game or we would not care that much. Please Gameloft dont ruin our experience.

And the worst part is:
The people who bought 5 red cans for 4000 season coins, and the ones who bought with their money season coins to buy 10 red cans with 12.000 season coins… now see you offering hundreds of red cans. With the season coins we could open more Universal Boxes. This decision affects people who have payed for support your game, and now, we are excluded from the new system? How is that fair? You are damaging F2P and people who are paying for the game… this is outrageous…

There is a way to balance veterans and new players...but this ain't it chief. Please reconsider compensating your loyal playerbase that played your game for hours on end only for an unannounced update to just remove any will to continue playing in ranked modes. These differences in materials is NOT SMALL. 45 red cans right out of the gate for ranked new characters? Thats ALOTTA cans we could have used!! Please make things right for your players, and please lets not do something like this EVERY NEW SEASON which pushes more people away.

This game has everything to be one of the greatest, yet they make stuff like this one... I truly had a great time with this game, but i farmed a lot for items... And now seeing this makes me crazy. I don't want to start over again with another account to win all the things I should've won on this update. And I feel if this is not adjusted I will lose my interest in it.

Grinded me butt off to get aladdin shards from shop and mpr so he could be 4* 65/85 lv40 right now. It feels like a massive stab in the back to have missed over 10+ vanishing potions and supposedly 30 hourglasses. These are ESSENTIAL to leveling him up further. It just is so devastating that i lose all interest in the game.
APPARENTLY I ALSO MISSED OUT ON OVER 100 BOO DOORS FROM MPR. WHAT?! This is outrageous.

Ranked matches needs still a lvl balamcing its disgusting to drive against players with 10-15 level higher then urself .... u did with this patch nothing for ranked nothing useful

Compensate veteran players and people who played rank before the update. This feels so wrong. All people need to be taken into account when making changes to the game. Specially with something so important like upgrade parts or racer shards.
chilly latch
Create Ranked "Seasons" so resets are anticipated and people can plan on them. Additionally, helping them re-earn a bunch of rewards, cosmetics.. and maybe down the road, create "tiers" in ranked so the rewards are different per ranked 'season'.
Proposal. Reset ranked in week 3 of season 5 (otherwise end of season 5), and then start resetting the progress of everyone every 3 or 4 seasons.
Announce this, officially, and it will allow you to make changs to the MPR tracks without backlash, because people can get it later.
ALSO, reset the leaderboards, it will get rid of the boosters we keep seeing sometimes 🙂

I’m starting to get tired of opening this page in hopes that anything is on the way to be done about this one non sense game devs made and nothing still. How is it possible that a great game takes a HUGE bad decision, all players (COSTUMERS RIGHT?) are very upset about this in game (PRODUCT) decision, and the company does not communicate anything to us? This is so suspicious and makes me wonder if we will be left in the dark until we just quit and get quiet.

I truly love this game, and only just joined in Season 4. Really enjoyed getting characters, adding stars, leveling, etc., but the recent decision to hold back upgrade materials is extremely disappointing. The "bug" in game currently showing what I COULD have is extremely demoralizing as well. I was excited for Season 5, but I fear continuing to play if all it means is more of stuff like this happening. Please rollback the decision on materials from ranked, let us have the rewards we have earned. Thank you

I bought two founder editions on day one. (And the reason we did so, was because at that time, there was no clear way to purchase the golden pass at first other than buy a new tier of founders edition. Also, it wasn't mentioned straight off that the game was going to be free to play.) Also supported the game plenty of "packs" I suspect that many of us that did so, are the ones being locked out of the new ranked rewards. Its baffeling to me that this company appears to not care about loyal customer retention. Why is it that companies that design products to resembal mobile game cash grabs, also tend to be the poorest when it comes to customer care ?
golden osprey
Upgrading rewards but not rewarding the most loyal and supporting customers who backed thr game from day one? This was guaranteed to tick off your players. Very confusing that this was the decision made. If trying to boost things for new players to even things out...well then why even have a leveking system in the first place at that point. But even so, IF going this route, it's not okay to give day 1 players nothing when we supported you. At least provide alternative rewards as upgrades, as you have actively punished your original supporters. Any character we have already ranked up with has been hurt by this, versus new players.
Honestly just really disappointing

Imagine playing a live service game for 100+ hours over the course of a season and then such drastic progression changes are made that a new player hopping in on the next season will have a stronger account / better account progression than you.

Reposting this here instead of Season 4 Feedback as it seems this is where everyone is mainly talking about the topic. This took about eight hours to write and is a more nuanced approach than angry pitchforks and torches. If you cannot be bothered to read the whole thing Sections 10 and 11 discuss feasible ways to fix this. After seeing the visual bug that seems to approximate the difference in earned items I feel the framework to provide a retroactive compensation is definitely there, you just need to honor players who have been affected by this shortsighted change. You guys are in danger of losing a lot of players or at the very least encouraging many hardcore players who were just introduced to your game to become casual players who do not spend money and do not play online. Please fix this. I truly like your game.

I also don’t like how in the notes it was phrased as if the only people that are going to be negatively impacted are “veterans” as if the people who joined this season weren’t encouraged to get all their characters up in ranked to level them up for the season tour.
I just joined this season. I don’t consider myself a veteran and I doubt anyone else would either. It’s extremely disingenuous to insinuate that it’s only the older and top players who are missing out, when in actuality it’s everyone who played ranked prior to the change. It’s not a “small portion of the community” that is missing out on these rewards. It is the majority. I would hate to see another dev company that tosses their loyal playerbase to the curb in search of new players, because from what I’ve seen it never works out and always ends up with the players disappointed and, in turn, the game doing poorly.

Just found out that new players are be getting HUGE rewards (30+ cans, gloves, Aladdin bread, etc) for each MPR rank. That’s a great change! 👌🏼
However if a player has already raised a given racer in MPR to emerald, shall we say, we don’t (in retro) get all the rewards shown in the MPR rewards structure. 🤔
As a free to play player who joined this Aladdin season, I don’t have hundreds of unused red and triple cans like the OG players. As a F2P player, we only earn around 10 red cans in daily events, and that won’t even level up one racer one time in the lvl 10-15 range! 🫣
New players, or even less active F2P players will soon surge past people like myself who are literally unable to level due to lack of resources that apparently are abundant to OG players and abundant to new players, but players that joined 6 weeks ago are left behind.
Please award all modern MPR rewards in retro to all players. Do not pick and choose which players get the rewards, that feels like a caste or class system of sorts. Pay to win is unpleasant enough, please don’t sideline some of us based on the timing of when we came in and previous MPR achievement.
Equality for all please. If some players get rewards for MPR ranks, then we all should. I can appreciate wanting to give a path for new players to catch up somewhat, but I’m a new player too, apparently you left some of us behind (cans) but honestly the veterans are left behind too (rare materials like Aladdin bread). Please be fair.
Please give all players the full MPR rewards in retro; MPR rewards are supposed to be the one area of the game you can grind and be rewarded for your skill.
Thank you.

I’m writing today regarding the newest update placed on the Speedstorm game as of Nov. 28th, 2023.
I feel violated and disrespected by the changes to rewards from ranked multiplayer - while the addition of increased rewards for future characters and new players is terrific, not providing the new reward amounts retroactively to veteran players is egregious.
I’ve spent over 120 hours playing your game, and my total multiplayer rank is 384. With the new amounts of red cans, can trios, and character specific upgrade parts, across nearly 30 characters, I’m now at a disadvantage of TENS OF THOUSANDS of in-game items.
I love this game - I want to keep playing. I’m a loyal customer and withholding these new items is a discredit and disrespect to the customers who’ve popularized your product. I woke up this morning appalled when I saw the thousands upon thousands of items no longer available, preventing me from advancing in the game whatsoever.
Total when I win new rewards claim I should have over 2,000 red and blue cans, and yet my active total is less than 2% of that.
You need to correct this mistake for the endless players who’ve paid to play this game for months, and are now being punished for investing their time and money with you.
I’m sure you’ve received a large amount of feedback like this - please understand I’m submitting this as a person who sincerely cares about your product and am grateful we get to have fun playing Speedstorm. It really is a terrific game, and it deserves to be fair, including crediting the effort of play up to this point.
Please credit the new reward amounts from ranked multiplayer to players who’ve previously earned multiplayer ranks. I will continue writing on this subject until this request is fulfilled.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Honestly, I wouldn't be upset if they made it so everyone's ranks reset to 0 meaning we could get rewards. I have like 28 characters in champ, 3 in grand champ, and the rest are diamond. I really won't get any ranked reward increases and I'd love to get more rewards.
Or at leaat give players an option to reset once. That way people can get the rewards if they want, but feel like they have a choice rather then forced to be demoted.
I think this would be the most fair option to all players new and early access in terms to the huge reward increase.

Got my 3 star steamboat mickey to emerald last week just to get 8 clocks so I could have him at level 24.... I could've had him at 35 by now. Devs please you must see how terrible it is to have no compensation even for us players that started this season..
waxen stump
I'm not personally too affected by this change, with roughly 3/4 of my roster at MPR1, but agree there should be retroactive rewards to get players to the reward level they should be at. After this change, the players who have invested far more time and effort into the game than I have are now behind in progression, which makes no sense - if this isn't corrected, you're going to alienate your most dedicated players.

I’m not sure I can really say anything that hasn’t already been said, but I wanted to add my voice to the masses at least.
The MPR rewards change is beyond disappointing. It’s insulting. I’m all for making it easier for new people, but screwing over anyone that joined in season 4 and did lots of grinding and farming isn’t the way to do it. Not to mention the slap in the face that it is to those of us that have spent real, actual, money on small handfuls of items that are now available in abundance, for free, to new players.
You’ve got a great game that people really enjoy playing.. but no one likes to feel like they’ve been had. Please do something to make it right.
uneven moth
Honestly, mainly for the players that started this season.
We don't have the "luxury" of all the Events from before (which is sad, but still fine since it's absolutely normal).
But now we don't even have access to the Ressources new players are getting, they can overtake us....who had to grind character's in ranked to achieve the objectives in the tour.....in less than a few days.
There are ppl saying they started a new Account and got to where they were before or when further in a couple of hour's compared to couple of day's.
This is just not Fair.
I'm really regretting starting up this fantastic game, investing 120h in three weeks and on top of it putting in Money.....you are basically telling me thx for the money now get lost.
And I'm not alone with this.
I got all Aladdin characters at 3 Star, Genie up to 35, jasmine at 30, Aladdin stuck at 27 and Jafar still at 1.
My favorite character Belle at 27 hard stuck cause no materials.
But all of them at diamond or Higher (well Jafar only gold)..... additional other character's the same picture, 3 star, not even at 30, but grinded to diamond. Some 2 Star level 25 as well at diamond. Every character I have leveled is at least Emerald, most of them diamond.....maybe an occasional platinum still in the mix, but you getting the point.
For veterans who grinded all their characters up to diamond or higher, because it is a fun game, it's also very very Bad.
Plz fix this, and please give a statement! You are literally the first developer's I see who haven't reacted to the massive backlash in 24h.
There are a couple of way's to fix this mess.
One of them being retroactively handing out the missed reward's, like literally every other game does if they change smth this massive.
The other being resetting the whole ranking to rookie (either by Player choice or forced) and letting us earn the reward's again. With this though there is the problem about the shards, which I can understand.
silent mulch
"Rewards for progressing through the different MPR Leagues can only be earned once, which means that some of our veteran players will not be able to benefit from the aforementioned increase in rewards."
I just started playing Season 4 when it went f2p. I'm being penalized for grinding rank on all my drivers trying to maximize their level. Now someone shows up at Season 5, much more popular season probably, and will likely destroy me in rank and challenges because all my drivers are 'Veterans'.
Just give us the rewards they're going to receive so it's a level playing field. We'll even push back up to our current ranks to earn those extras they're getting and we're missing.
desert bobcat
Alternate solution for the ranked rewards changes; create a new limited event, similar to the new one where you can grind materials, but instead it works once per racer and pays out rewards based on your racer's MPR. This will assure players get the rewards they missed out on, but will only pay out to those who should get it
worn raven
It's more common in multiplayer but more a general issue - please fix the problem where your cart ends up wedged and facing the wall at a 45 degree angle, unable to move forwards to get away from said wall when visually, you should be able to. There's a disconnect between hitbox and what your cart actually looks like, leading to more frustration than it's worth.
This usually happens after a projectile hit, forcing me to reverse my cart before I can carry on, losing me valuable time and killing all my momentum. Usually, it causes a guaranteed loss in a race, which is particularly devastating in Ranked.
hybrid ginkgo
I know personally I’m on the fence about even sticking with this game, retroactive compensation or not, due to how the dev team has handled and communicated with the playerbase on this issue. (Community managers aside, y’all are doin great)
We’ll see going forward but if they give some halfway thought through reward that doesn’t even come close to the amount lost from being permanently locked out of new rewards, it’ll show that they really do not care about their players or their time, and I wouldn’t want to give energy to a company like that. Plenty of other companies that are more in tune with their communities.

I am by no means a vet, starting when the game went free to play, but I have spent a nice chunk of physical money unlocking characters shards and season tokens to attempt to catch up with red cans. Spent 100k+ season tokens alone on just red cans in the shop. Knowing I am now short 3000 red cans because I have ranked up all 30 of my racers has me beyond myself. Most my racers are stuck in the areas they still need red cans. I am angry grr. Want my money back or my red cans.

I just realy realy REALY hope that this compensation if we bought tokens is NOT the whole solution on while situation. Firstly, because it rewards only players who payed, not played the game. Secondly, because what we asked for is materials whick locked us out now, definujeme not 5 shards for racers who are not our favorites, and for who new players dont even have 5 shards so we have 20 in total. Just PLEASE NO. My friend who started playing like 2 weeks after me, who started like month ago, barely played ranked cuz lazy/no time/other games, and mé who was hard grinding ranked, I am actualy going to be behind him on all collections, but mostly aladin collection. He didnt payed a single cent with real money, and completed whole season tour even managed to grab battle pass for free and still have 400 extra tokens. While me actuale even paid for some tokens and shards for some racers. We didnt asked for 5 shards, we want ranked rewards in full with new system. If not veterans, at least players who started playing dueing aladin season. We are most screwed. Your game is perfect, but some decisions man.. please make it right, there is still hope

Yes, this season is great and they came out with some good content and changes. No, I don’t think we should forget that everyone who played ranked before season 5 is getting scammed out of thousands of upgrade materials. I hope they’re not intentionally overlooking the situation hoping to have people forget about it so they can fabricate some half thought out unsatisfactory walmart brand compensation that doesn’t even cover close to what is being missed out on.

In multiplayer it should be forbidden to lose points if you lose a race, there comes a time when only those who have high level characters + super skills in driving super well win, those who don't have the 2 things are often losing and more lose points than win and this is not fun the intention of the game is to be fun and not to make us stressed by losing points several times in a row.

Why do Steamboat Mickey and Pete, Minnie and Daisy have the hat and baton materials in Ranked Multiplayer instead of their level 35 materials?

I might be alone in this experience but wanted to leave a note on the experience either way.
For me, though I believe one of the updates said the game would try to keep players around your level, ive had so many experience where if say I'm level 15 most of my lobbies are like 25s. Then if I level up, suddenly, most of my levels are 35s...
Is anyone else noticing this? It makes me hesitant to level up any characters until I find I just can't compete with their current stats (usually around more early 20s) and then pay for it as the game shifts me with opponents 10 levels higher.
I'm not saying this is EVERY match but it is however quite frequent. I suppose within 10 should be an acceptable range but when everyone is 35 and you're 25 it feels like such a hill as its very possible they are 1-2 stars higher as well. Hopefully there is something that can be done to try and mitigate this kind of range.

It's very frustrating to play the multiplayer after the emerald, you lose more points than you gain, you spend days trying to win until you get lucky, because of the high level enemies, enemies that love to stun you all the time, super skilled enemies that run super fast and it's impossible to beat them, please don't take points away from us just for losing the races, it's impossible to win the multiplayer at most I have 2 characters in diamond and 1 in champion by luck, but it's super difficult, the difficulty of the multiplayer is too difficult.

Ranked Multiplayer is getting messy with changes and that's the reason:
1 - Definitely being a good racer does not pay anymore because battle outshines racing A LOT. At some point of the race there is so much attack spamming that what matters is luck and combat lv, wich will make you recover faster. It's getting really common to get hit by arrows, then get stuck with snow trail, then get confused by the purple power up and hit a wall of toys, and when you try to race is too late because of what comes next:
2 - Level difference is getting out of control. I mean, If you are trying to reach MPR levels to gather the material to lv up and you face some guys with huge level, even tho they can't race as good as you, power ups will smash you and they will recover faster and just drive straight. Putting a lv 40 against a lv 25 does NOT FEEL right, and there is this too:
3 - When you put racers with so much level of difference fighting against each other it's a garantee teleport clock. It does not ruin the life of the lv 40, it does not ruin the life of the 25, it ruins the life of the lv 30 who's playing his best to keep up in 3rd or 4th, but suddenly loses his position because, what? There is a teleport clock around.
4 - And the only way to really play safe is by using Defender characters that can have defensive and protective power ups, not only that, but those characters usually have a huge top speed so they can protect themselves and just race straight while others are stuck into a messy nasty fight.
All that being said, you guys need to re-think next new unique attacks because there is always more and more really damaging strong power ups and we've got a lot of racers that rely on dodging, never stopping, not being hit. The game is starting to get stressful rather then fun because there is not pacing and a racing flux vibe. There is always something to stop you and end your race prematurely.
I got my share of racers on Champion, but the fun is ending a little bit.
restive canopy
In terms of ranked MP it really weird atm due to how level difference are handled, because of how much easier/harder it can be depending on how much you level up your character making it actually harder on yourself than easier.
The three main issues with it currently is as follows-
Staying low level is advantagous due to the fact you less likely to meet someone with a higher star rank than you as beating someone who is 1 star level 15 as a 1 star level 1 is way easier than beating someone that 4 star level 40 vis star level 25
Leveling can introduce you to walls way faster, due to above issue with low level due to most people now being locked by stars rather than levels in the eariler stages it means that it result in a huge influx of people at one point where the matchmaking works quite, but when you deviate to 1 or even 2 level different it completely throws off the game tempo. Like levleing up my baloo to level 2 has result me into getting 1v1s or even just 3 player races at bronze of all palces while level 1 was almost all 8 racers
3)The level scaling does not factor in stars at all making it harder, level different is not a issue at 1-15 due to how fast progress is but the difference of 15 is too much when it means a differnce of two star which drastically changes your likelhood of winning a race
Solutions for me result in making it feel better

I shouldn’t be going against people spamming super abilities when I’m just a 1 star buzz stuck at mpr 16 and level 15. To get to mpr 18 is a hassle when everyone is 10 levels above me & they have abilities to spam. Ranked should be based off stars and levels nothing else.
A 1 start level 15 should not be going up against a 2 star level 25, that’s a completely different bracket. It makes NO SENSE!

Ranked multiplayer should give Golden Pass Points.

Ranked Multiplayer has some issues.
The matchmaking should consider the level by stars. 1 to 15 / 15 - 25 / 25 - 35 and so on. That way we only race against people around our level.
The loosing points system with the match with people who are level 40 it’s pure frustration. And then, people who are 40 are complaining because at a certain point there’s only 1vs1 in ranked. And that’s because we cannot go further than diamond at our best. If we have 1 to 16 without losing points and people are playing, why not give it a try no stop the loosing point system? People could race more and not be stagnated in the emerald or diamond.
Just and idea.
And please, don’t forget that new players are having a lot more materials than the people who play on season 4.

The fact that there hasn’t been an update from the developers concerning the ranked multiplayer rewards is disappointing. The only update we got was to refer to a past update saying “it’s being looked into.” This is a core issue that affects everyone who played ranked before season 5. This is not a small issue. More urgency is exercised by smaller dev teams for smaller issues. My faith in how much the developers actually care about their playerbase is dwindling.
sturdy mason
Whatever changes were made in early November it's clearly not working anymore. Over here is the pinnacle of absurd - I am a 2 star lvl 20 while every single other person (with maybe a single exception) in this race rocks 3 star racers where the lowest level beside me is a single lv25, everyone else is higher or way higher.
This is merely a Gold rank, or at leas that's where I am so given this is a zone where one still can't lose points why can't we have more bots if applicable players cannot be found? In fact considering how bloodthristy the AI can be in events I see little reason to not allow bots across all ranks, they surely can keep up with the people.
This is not some unfortunate encounter, I had a similar race in Silver just today while ranking up this very Figment. This stuff happens across all ranks since the season begun considering what people eagerly post in multiplayer chat.
Whatever happened to matchmaking it dearly needs a look into.

whenever a seasonal rank down happens, maybe all the tiers you're pushed down could have their rewards reenabled at half the amounts. it would encourage players to reclimb through ranked while not giving them as much as they first got, to keep things balanced. regained cosmetics could be turned into "Duplicate Exchanges" like usual so people can get season tokens from playing ranked

Im sure it’s already been said, but there should be some review over how much EXP you get when racing people with a much higher MPR/Level. I initially had thought you wouldn’t generally be paired up with people in a different way higher MPR bracket but it seems you are able to now (personal experience this season).
If that is going to stay, I do think if I as a level 20 MPR 13 for example, beat a Level 35 MPR 24 or numerous higher leveled players, I should be rewarded more EXP in general. We shouldn’t be rewarded the same for a win is my thing.
I think other ranked games generally do this and I get there’s probably a lot that’s required as to thresholds etc since you can matchup with a lot of different MPR/Level types, but think it should be considered!

There were just 6 teleports in a match. Knocking me from 1st to 7th. Then, to lose points? This is just bad game design. Decide what kind of Racer you want your game to be. Punishing players on something determined by luck and not skill is more frustrating than it is fun. People have been commenting on this since at least the last season (can only comment on that because it is when I started).

give reward based on position and/or rank in every game in seasonal coins and/or pass exp. this will give a new life to this gamemode. i have no reason to get crushed in high elo by some 40+ lv epic racers with maxed crew. so i stopped playing, is just pointless. but if i was to be awarded i would play as much as possible and i think this would solve 1v1 cause more people would play even when only losing.

Please delete stopewatches, fix level matchmaking, and please, also that ranked compensation so we can play our mains. When it comes to being overstuned, something like passive effect that gives you some extra speed after u got hit by multiple stuns in very short time or something could be nice in some situations.
And when it comes to trio cans, we are just simply way too short on them. Just 22 trio cans per char if u get one to ranked rank 27 is realy low amount. (Considering u play some under 30level char and u play vs 8levels bigger, with better crew shards. One more reason to farm materials in regulated lobbies instead of ranked)
Also, why just not move ranked rewards from each racer to regulated lobby, and ranked will have slight different rewards, or no rewards, and just being played purely for rank level, while all those materials would be given for regulated rank, which would need a bit new system.

Remove ranking down from races. Instead make it so you need to win to gain any points to rank up. You can even decrease the progression (from like Emerald on) for this.
Right now, game is kinda like a zero-sum game, because a lost can set you back so far. When you factor in how your matchmaking constantly pairs you with higher levels across all the MPR, it's unbearable for a lot of people to play as some just never progress. And if you're never gunna progress, there's no real need to ever dive back into ranked ever again from that point. It's not even worth it if you come back at higher levels because you'll be paired with racers of the same levels and sure maybe you win but then you'll get another set of higher levels that will knock you back down.

ranking down is normal for games that have a rank mode in them.
however i think that the rewards after reaching a rank and being ranked down after the end of the season should be reworked to include something else besides multiplayer coins

Gotta love joining lobbies with players that have awful connection only for them to hog the top places since the lag makes it impossible to hit them most of the time. It's a miracle I even managed 2nd place on the second screenshot, because my experience playing online overall is wayyy closer to the first pic.
I'm once again asking for some sort of option you can enable in the settings to avoid getting matched up with bad connection players. Ranked is already hard enough as is and if there are already so many players with bad Wi-Fi, I can't even imagine how worse it'll get in the future with mobile players using 4G on their phones to play.

I start to have the feeling we are just typing to the void. Its almost 2 weeks since ranked rewards fiasko and still no compensation, not even update about situation, or about clocks or matchmaking. I guess just stop playing ranked at all til they fix the game, keep farming daily stuff and hope for miracle. Til we have strength.
And while I completely agree with myself, I am just gonna dislike my own post because there is nothing to be liked in here. Because those are just so plain simple things we should not even adress them, so I realy dont like the fact that I feel like its needed, and oh damn, it feels its needed so much. Hype is fading.

When are we going to get an update on this? I understand that they had to look into how to fix the issue but it's been almost 2 weeks and no updates. I spent hours on ranked multiplayer just to get the small amount of items that new players can get within a few races. I love this game and bought into it as a founder on day one. I just wish we could even get an update providing us with a date that we can expect to receive the rewards.

Last suggestion for now, but I feel like Ranked would be a lot fairer if the effect abilities had on you differed drastically based on your position; being scaled appropriately proportional to where you are in the pack.
For example, if you're in last place, abilities being able to stop you dead in your tracks only further guarantees your loss and only serves to punish. But if they barely affected those in last place, and more heavily affected those in first, it would keep the races more tightly knit and competitive because the racers would be mostly kept together.
Couple that with a rebalancing of the power ups to prevent too many OP ones being used simultaneously (the likes of Rajah or Mike's doors) and I think Ranked could be saved.

The ranked multiplayer is worst than ever. I get paired with people who are level 41 and I am 35. The race is a mess. I get 6th place in every single race. I was MPR 27 last season, and I can’t reach it anymore.
It isn’t fun, doesn’t made sense, and I am playing less and less. When your team wants to solve this I will play again. But the for now, it’s just a waste of time.
The worst part is: you were the first game that was a real alternative to Mario Kart, you could have a legacy with this game. But the problems will make this game last one more year and then will be forgotten and it’s a shame. There were good material.

When are you going to make multiplayer fairer, playing with people of a higher level makes it almost impossible to win, losing points all the time doesn't increase your ranking, it should be forbidden to lose points, regulated multiplayer doesn't have any of these problems, because this multiplayer has all these problems, it even discourages you from playing it.

Adding to this, even if your character IS Level 41, the racers at these levels are so unbalanced that you're going to suffer anyway. Jessie, Elizabeth Swann and Mike Wazowski especially dominate these levels and no other racer gets a look in.
There are certain spots in Ranked where characters are balanced, but once you get to the higher levels it's flat out impossible to compete unless you happened to choose an overpowered character to level up to begin with.
tardy grove
I don't like that you don't lose MPR points till after MPR 16. Perhaps there's an example else where but ive never heard of a ranked system that the first 3 rank tiers mean literally nothing but show you spent enough time playing the character. you could lose every single race up to mpr 16. Making platinum the equivalent of bronze tier in other games. Perhaps you do this because you have so much level up material tied to those 16 mpr levels and want to make it so anyone can get them eventually. To make it so all players regardless of skill can still get the materials in the first 16 mpr i would move the rewards to the regulated playlist. That playlist already gives you points regardless of placement. So I would make individual racers earn points for the reward materials while also giving points to the weekly points goal of regulated. You can then make the first 16mpr give some sort of lesser reward going forward. These changes would give more cause for players to play regulated which is currently a common complaint of the regulated mode and give ranked mode more fair lobbies to place players based on skill instead of shoving players together that often dont belong in the same race cause the first 16 mpr don't matter currently.

This…. Is a problem. I don’t know what rank overhaul was put into place, but if we’re at a point where we still get races where you’re just automatically put into an unfair advantage, then something needs to be looked at. This is clearly the kind of race you guys claimed that you’re trying to stir away from last season, but were there even results? Did anything even change? It’s apparent that we’re supposed to just be fodder for higher level racers at any given moment. It’s insane because there’s so many easy ways to prevent races like this from happening.
Make a level cap within a race where the highest leveled player in a race can’t be more than 5 levels above the lowest racer.
Make shards a lot easier to access in ranked so by emerald everyone could have 3 star characters so the high end level races are much more validated.
Allow the racer boost event in LTE to not just give 1 shard but 5 shards (10 for bonus characters) so that the process to reach a higher level isn’t such a hinderance because let’s be honest, 1 shard a day to reach 3 stars would take in insurmountable amount of time that nobody would be willing to constantly work on that said character alone. Your objective should be to make the game more fun, not to try and get everyone to keep your play counts as high as possible.

At MOST I should be losing 15 pts...not 50!
All this does is encourage players to rage quit & disconnect at the starting line... and that's not fun for anyone....
its not fun for the person who has leveled up their character to constantly not be able to race, because people quit whenever they see them in their lobby....
Its not fun for the underleveled player to constantly lose 1000+ points becquse they keep getting unbalanced 1v1's

Gameloft
I think you really need to start making changes to the ranked game mode
As it is right now, ranked has been set up to accommodate a larger player base than what it currently holds, and its evident because not enough players are reaching the higher ranks, and thats a big issue
If the higher ranks were more populated, we wouldnt have as many issues as we do now;
The level 40+ characters wouldnt be crowded around platinum to diamond ranks as they could be matched higher and further away from the rest
Which would then make the difficulty increase in earlier ranks less abrupt and more gradual for the newer or less experienced players to ease into the mode
Plus! It would also fix the matchmaking for grand & ultimate champion so its not impossibly long for the unfortunate people who are being punished and prevented from playing their favorite racers further because they are just so high up
Also also! It would allow players to earn more shards to potentially get a 3 star for the events which are also heavily unfavored
So gaining more players would be the ideal solution.
Although unfortunately the numbers and interest for this game/mode are gradually going down. Let alone increasing. (based off steam charts) Things arent going to get much better without change and there are many solutions you could come up with
However, i do believe there is one easy solution for the time being
And that is to simply increase the points distribution of winning
Award the winners more points. Maybe 100 - 130 or so (like it is at rank 0) and leave the negative points where it is
That way it makes levels space themselves out more quickly, which would populate the higher ranks but would also still pose a challenge as the amount of points lost would still increase the higher up the ranks you go (as it is currently)
I believe this change would help the longevity of the game and its growth
Sorry for the essay
TLDR ranks are crowded, need to go higher
solid pond

It really sucks. Get more and more annoyed.
Ranked should be regulated Like Bronze with Level 10 regulated, Silver with Level 15 regulated, Gold with Lv 20 etc etc. and No teaming. Here you earn shards and MP coins and blue coins.
The second online mode can be the unfair mode that you win with the strongest driver. Here you can earn other stuff that fits to your Level. No losing points here.
worn raven
What's causing players to stagnate and not bother with higher levels is the sheer comical amount of points lost. I'm not actually doing badly in a lot of races despite the jank, what's handicapping me is:
1: Losing 50 points for coming in second place in a 1v1 against someone I could never beat to begin with.
2: Elizabeth Swann. It was clear that Ranked was not play tested with her broken trail ability in mind.
3: Losing ridiculous amounts of points or getting a pitiful 10 points for coming in third during 5 player races, but losing 65 or even 70 for coming in last sometimes. Why does the amount of points earned change per amount of players, and why so dramatically? This punishing system is clearly thrown in as an afterthought, considering the characters will do the 'angry' animation, but say their 'okay with the outcome' phrases. It's unfinished at best.
**4: **The fact that some characters are obscenely unmatched, and some have clearly not been play tested at MPR 30 and above. Jasmine's abilities are literally slower than her most of the time, INCLUDING the standard pickups, and she can only attack with her special power going forward, rendering Rajah useless.
5: The abilities that spin the kart out not straightening me out when they're done. Why on earth do they always dump me facing a wall? I've already been stopped dead, why the double punishment? There are so many of these abilities that cause this effect. It's beyond obnoxious.
**6: ** Collision detection. It's jank at best, especially when landing after jumps.
7: Straight up too much going on. There desperately needs to be a cap on how many abilities can be in play at once, or how many special attacks can be used at once. Some, like Jumba's uncharged, are too precise and overpowered.
Address these things, allow people to rank up and make them want to rank up more of their racers rather than being stuck with one that they can't, and your game will have a chance.
uneven moth
The ranked system is really flawed at the moment. Especially the matchmaking, but also point allocation.
The higher in MPR you get, the more Points you need, but at the same time you are getting less points for reaching a high enough placement....and this additionally gets worse because it's coupled to player count....
Just give the top 4 fixed amounts, no matter the player count.
This would instantly dissolve the madness about the unfair 1v1 up to 4 player matches.
You could easily also control this/ making it harder with reducing the amount of ppl to earn Points in higher MPR, like for example from MPR 31 onwards only top 3, from mpr36 only top 2 earning Points.
Likewise you should adjust the pointloss and make it also fixed to the actual placement instead of by Player count, could also be successively increased with higher MPR.
In my opinion this would give way more ppl an incentive to play ranked than the current system.
And also: plz don't forget about the compensation for us mid season 4/veteran's from your change in MPR rewards, it needs to be done and absolutely should be retroactive.
There's also the possibility of just changing the whole system to reboot everyone at each season but including resetting the earned rewards, which in turn also would add to player count for ranked

Please just remove deranks at the end of the season, you’re not doing anything by doing it. All you’re doing is causing frustration. There are way too many characters to play to have to ranks them up all over again.

I never understood why it's based on MPR levels when someone with a level 15 racer can actually get up to the higher MPR 20s sometimes. It should ideally be based exclusively on character level and stats with very limited windows (lowest and highest racers should be no more than three levels apart), nothing else.
The fact it's based on an arbitrary 'rank' that doesn't even mean anything, allowing level 20s and level 40s to race together, is insane to me.

(From what I understand its supposed to be level based, but I really have no idea because these matches have no rhyme or reason )
But, this is part of the problem, actually.
People don't understand how MPR should work.
Character level shouldn't matter. Simply because the following amplifiers exist: Character star levels. Crew members. Crew member star levels.
This one statement alone will prove my point:
If I have a 5 star character at level 20, with a fully decked out crew, I'm going to ransack every other 2 star level 20-25 on the track.
I in fact did this. I whaled out on the frozen boxes early on, and had a 5 star Anna with mostly 3-4 star crew. Based on sheer stats alone, I could just drive around the track and beat everyone else, at level 20-25 without trying. If I left her at 20, I'd be a significant problem for everyone at that level.
I have another problem with level based match making, because I have a level 41 Captain Gantu, that I can not get out of the 16-20 MPR range, because based on my level I'm playing against high diamonds, champs, and people fighting for grand champ. If I have to play like I'm fighting for Grand Champ to get out of Emerald, I'm just simply not going to ever get out of that MPR range, which is crazy.
Level based matchmaking is a very bad way to matchmake.
MPR should matter. MPR should be the game's way of sorting the strength of players.
Does this mean, if I have a level 40 character I've never played, that it will be playing against low level characters? Yes.
Does this mean, if I have a level 40 character I've never played, that it will move past playing against playing low level characters, and those with less skill quickly? Also, yes.
Does this mean, if I have a 2 star level 20 character with low level crew, then I will occasionally get beat very, very badly by someone climbing on a higher level or better equipped character? Also, yes. But keep in mind, that will only happen occasionally while people are gaining ranks on their higher level/well equipped characters.
Does this mean, if I have a 5 star level 20 character with maxed crew, then I will be playing against higher level characters,
Your overall gameplay would be better, and you'd be regularly matched with equally skilled and/or equally equipped opponents, with similar stat levels
MPR based matchmaking would smooth out how rough the lobbies are, and it would do it quickly.
If you have a level 40 character, assuming you also have the skill level necessary to climb the MPR ladder, you should be able to breeze through the early ranks, where the skill levels and character levels are low.
If you have a level 40 character, assuming you DO NOT have the skill level necessary to climb the MPR ladder, you should be able to play with equally skilled players, that balance with your character's stats. Yes, that means you might be playing against some level 30s, but they would have a reasonable match with you, because you aren't good at the game.
...and as a caveat...
If you love the game, and you're bad at it, but you have a level 40 character, you shouldn't be forced into matches with other level 40s that are fighting for grand champ.
If you're an Emerald player, you should be able to enjoy a match with other Emerald players.
If you're a Diamond player, you should be able to enjoy a match with other Diamond players.
If you're sweating for Grand/Ultimate champ, you should be able to play against other sweaty Grand/Ultimate champ players.
It is not reasonable to have matchmade lobbies that consist of Emerald players and Champion players.
It is not fun for the Emerald players to get wrecked with no hope of ever reaching a higher rank, because they're consistently getting paired with people who are better than they are, based on their character's level, and not their skill level.

This season i got matched by level against MPR 25+ (when i´m MPR 14) a few times. After losing two or three races i got a matchmaking by rank as it should be. Maybe you should take into account the total MPR (account MPR) which shows player skill. It´s ok to match equally skilled players by level but players with a different account MPR should be matched by rank.

My total MPR is pretty high. I’m at about ~260-275 on the global leaderboard. Most of us up there have a lot of higher level characters and we have most of our characters at 16+ MPR, with a bunch at diamond/champion. If my matchmaking is based on my overall MPR, and not the MPR of the character I’m playing with, I’d be playing champions on any new character, which would still be unfair.
rich warren
There is zero reason to match based by MPR when the following factors are in place:
Crew and level differences which impact performance on an objective level. (Personally, I would see these regulated in any sensible ranked ladder, or removed altogether.)
The system awards points at a flat value, solely determined by your placement in a race, and what league you're in. There is nothing in place to adjust the points based on the competition.
Address these two glaring issues, then MPR might actually mean something.
zealous pasture
The matchmaking in ranked mode could really do with being streamlined/simplified so there aren't so many small lobbies. I think even something as basic as sorting all the searching players by MPR + Racer Level and splitting them into groups of 8 would be an improvement over the current system. That would at least guarantee a full or almost full lobby every time.

Having the ability to preview lobbies might be an idea, or indeed keeping lobbies together for more than one race and having the ability to vote on each track. Those who don't want to do multiple races can leave, those who do can stay and vote for the next round.

You are putting out false information...
If you are platnium rank you are not racing against Champion Ranked Players... The people you are losing to are MPR 1 Bronze players with lvl 45 characters...
I have characters in Champion and Grand Champion and I often have nobody to race against because matchmaking cant find an opponent or I can only get in 1v1 races at the grand champion level.
You arent the only person who plays Apex Legends... The way Apex Legends works is if you are a Diamond player you are matched against Platnium, Diamond, Master, and Apex Predators to fill up the lobby and for quicker matchmaking. Even in SF6 you fight against higer ranked players. The difference is if you lose against higer ranked players you dont lose as many points, & if you win against higher ranked players you win more points.
The problem with the ranked matchmaking is that if you are a lvl 25 Platnium Player and another person is a lvl 47 playnium Player.... the matchmaking will thing because both of you are the same rank that its a balanced lobby.
The way you want matchmaking to be is whats killing the game.
Ranks being split in their own respective sections is why there are so many 1v1s and empty lobbies at a higher level.
Whats the point of spending time and money ranking up a character if you have nobody to race agaisnt once you hit champ rank because the majority of players are gold & Platnium
The matchmaking should be more about racing against people who are equal in level to you not about MPR because
a lvl 50 MPR 1.... will always beat a Lvl 15 MPR 26 racer
The people who are champ rank need people to race as well...
Diamond players MPR 26+ should be matched against champion and grand champion players. That would fix the matchmaking at the higer levels to where the lobbies are always full.

This character doesn't stand a chance at ever making it out of platinum, because it doesn't have crew to support it, and all I get are Champ+ lobbies, because its a level 41.
You saying that the other guy was putting out false information is also false information.
Just to beat you to the punch, he's a 4 star, doesn't have his epic crew, and has one 2 star crew, and everything else is 1 star. There's 0 chance I'm beating high champ/grand champ players, and thats all I get to play with this character.
At best, I think I could get diamond, or potentially very low champ with this character if I faced proper lobbies.
Yeah, I lost probably 15 points, but the fact remains, I LOSE AMOST ALL OF MY RACES
So the points stack up. (or down in this case)

That's the fault of the crew and star level system, which is the other thing that should be revised when it comes to matchmaking. Ideally by removing crew and star ranks altogether, but I know that's never going to happen.
lavish tide
I'm actually enjoying the regulated version and would love if they just put what ranked mode currently has in terms of rewards, and placed it into regulated. If they wanted to keep things balanced between the two, maybe make the current rank mode like a "frantic" or "anything goes" mode, still offer players rewards in terms of tokens, etc, but just make the value you earn less compared to regulated. So say for example, regulated would offer the 5-10 tokens + mp coins, along with other bonuses like shards for reaching a certain rank, while frantic mode could offer slightly more tokens due to its greater challenge (maybe 10-15 tokens per climb) but no mp coins or additional bonuses. Just my two cents.
Example:
Regulated rank mode:
Hit gold rank and players can obtain 1 character shard + mp coins + small amount of tokens
Hit Emerald rank and players can obtain 3 character shards (same as above)
Hit Champion and players can obtain 5 character shards (same as above)
Hit the top ranks and you basically can unlock a character since you deserve it for getting that high.
Each season will have a specific selection of characters to choose from in terms of shards (say 1-3 characters to choose from)
Every new season will see a character rotation to that specific selection, making regulated a lot more fun to play and feel like the grind is worthwhile to achieve higher ranks. So like season 8 will have Beast, Lilo, and Minnie as the 3 characters you can obtain shards from but then the season reset will have Mickey, Elsa, and Mowgli. Just examples to throw out but the concept remains, but I feel this would have players coming back more frequently to grind out rank to grab shards for their favorite character(s) in the season(s).

Please remember Rule 1 when leaving feedback - stay respectful.

Please stop putting us in 1v1 races in Ranked! It's 9 times out of 10 that I'm with a very aggressive, OP racer who's several levels above me that I would never ever win against. It's infuriating at best.
And while you're at it, stop reducing us by obscene amounts of points for coming in second place...
rich warren
So, yeah, I'm getting pretty tired of seeing lopsided and unbalanced lobbies.
No, I don't care that I am racing at Diamond with a lvl 25, I do not want to see lvl 40s in my races even if they are in the "same league."
Considering those levels can be bought or whatever else, and the fact that points are gained at flat rates, it completely invalidates using MPR as any sort of metric for matchmaking.
This extends to crew as well, none of this stuff should have ever been implemented in a way that can cause disparity.
If I am supposed to lose, I want it to be because the other guy is better than me, not because I was handicapped from the onset.

Ranked races have to be regulated.
Look at Fortnite or Rocket League. These Games wouldnt be so popular if you could upgrade a car or guns for paying.
Speedstorm is the best fun racer ever, but it is unfair as hell. If it would be fair (Ranked and the shop), I guess it could build a fanbase like Mario Kart over the years.
Go for it GL 👍

Another example of poor matchmaking in ranked. I'm bronze Mulan up against lvl25 players, and mpr15 & 16? How is this correct? How is a bronze level character being matched with players close to platinum? GL, I love your game a ton but feedback has to be made in order to make the F2P experience that much richer. This can't continue to persist well into the new year.
Honestly, a great format to somehow alleviate this type of scenario, is to have a placement system as you go into ranked. Much like in Overwatch 2 where if you choose a class you're put into placement matches to determine where your skill level is, and the system will then place you in your respective rank. This is how they avoid smurf accounts, etc. So, if you want to eliminate players just hopping onto new characters then stomping on other players then create a placement system for each character. If you win your respective say, 10-15 races the game will then place you in say Gold 3 or Emerald 4 (Emerald being the highest the placement will go for example) and from there, players will start to race against others of their skill/ranking.

More constructive feedback to make ranked fun for everyone:
Ramming Cooldown:
Ramming is so mindlessly used in almost every rank level that it needs to be changed in either two ways:
1) Completely remove ramming from every other class but Brawler, since it's part of their kit BUT, it should receive some sort of cooldown after use (5sec cooldown) so that Brawlers aren't incredibly overpowered. OR
2) Keep ramming among everyone BUT add a cooldown penalty for spamming. For example, anyone non-brawler will have a cooldown of 15secs while brawlers will have a 5-10 sec cooldown. This will help to encourage a more strategic style of play where players will now need to be mindful of their cooldowns when using ram as a means for offense. Right now, players literally mash ram because it's a get-out-of-jail free ability without any real repercussions. Players need to learn that spamming = penalty and rid of poor habits.
Clock Ability Removal or adjustment:
This has been stated several times in the channel but to better clarify:
1) The clock item needs to be removed from competitive ranked play because it doesn't really support the game in terms of skill expression, it removes that skill expression altogether. It's essentially "fall behind on purpose" or "reward my poor performance by placing me back into the game." The latter is not a good approach to the game because if you fell behind the pack or lost your lead, you deserved that and shouldn't be rewarded for it. OR
2) If ranked were to become regulated play (which tbh I would highly suggest it based on my previous messages), then adjust the clock item in a way that only carries you say one position up and that's the maximum. If Gameloft were to create a "Wild/Frantic" mode then maybe keep the clock as busted as it is now but for a new regulated format nerf it or remove it.

I am asking again to Somewhat regulate Ranked, no Lvl 25 Wall-e should be punished for not buying shards and starring up, here is my most Recent match as Wall-e.
(Sorry for bad quality)
lavish tide
More feedback because this game really needs fixing in a lot of ways. I'm going to post a bug/issue I encountered on the Pirates map later but for now...
Character Abilties NEED a cooldown or some sort of super meter:
The solution to this would be to** remove the super entirely from the item rotation** and create a super meter, where players will need to skillfully build the meter in order to use their supers in the match. Example: Drifting can gain meter, overtaking an opponent gains meter, hitting an opponent with an item gains meter, etc. This will incentivize players to think carefully about their decisions in the race, and to place more urgency on when to use their supers, rather than freely throwing it out whenever they feel like, creating more frustration than fun.
There have been so many times when I'm racing only to have a Mowgli or Kristoff's super go off 3-4 times in under 30seconds which is unnecessary and defeats the purpose of the race itself. If GL wants Speedstorm to truly take off in a wonderful way, and gather a larger audience, adjustments like these are pivotal otherwise, players will simply go elsewhere for a richer and more balanced experience.

Starting items NEED to go, getting hit by something at the start of the game can completely ruin your race if everyone is a decent player
foggy bolt
The matchmaking still makes no sense. If I'm using a level 20 racer, MPR 14, I should not be paired up with level 30 to 40 characters. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Lots of my matches have been unfair regardless of personal skill.
If this game retained its larger player base, maybe I would be matched with appropriate opponents no matter which level or MPR racer I decided to choose.
solid pond
Either you change the rank mode or you should adapt the regulated mode so that you don't have to deal with nonsense like in the normal rank mode, the regulated rank mode should be changed so that you get exactly the same as in the actual rank mode so that you can choose what you want to play, that's how the Wales are among themselves.... rank should be skill based and not money based
undone crescent
We have two problems. People with higher level want to avoid 1v1, and the other ones can’t reach the higher MPR levels to race with them. So, what about stop the loosing point system?

its rly a shame to see more and more matches like this, u finaly should do something about such unbalanced matches .... u can be happy we have a massage timer here ..... this game makes no fun at this point, i think u whant to destroy ur own game very bad ...
lavish tide
Another image to back up the earlier claims of unbalanced matches. A person in my game who's pretty much Emerald at this point, and I just started with Belle on Bronze. Only 3 people within that race were along the same MPR ranking as me.
I imagine the likely contributing factor to this is that Speedstorm currently doesn't have a large enough player base to funnel players into their respective ranking, so everything is bleeding into each other.

We need more than ever the Ranked Rewards redistribution for veterans players. The lack of materials don't let me progress to complete tour/events anymore.

If gameloft want my money better fix rank past diamond. Game is empty past diamond. I can't even enjoy my favorite characters to their maximum potential. I find no game. Regulated is way too slow, locked behind a level 30 character, no crew, 2 stars. Give regulated a ranking system which each rank division increase your character star and level. Everyone in diamond are level 35 and 3, Champion 45 and 4, behond 50 and 5*..
lavish tide
I'll try to be as detailed as possible in this feedback, but refer to my earlier posts to put things together:
New Regulated Ranked Format Idea Continued:
I've made previous posts earlier and so I'm expanding on those ideas. What I'm proposing is this:
Placements: - Players must go through 10-15 races to determine their respective ranking. All characters are at 5-stars just for placements **(like a demo) **allowing players to test their skills with the most optimized of their character, giving players a taste of what fully unchained feels like, but they'll have to work for it once they're placed in the new ranked format. Incentivizes you to keep playing.
**Rookie - Silver Rank **- Everyone starts at 1 star for every character including their crew members. This will give new players a chance to feel out the game before advancing into the higher ranks. Character abilities are "locked" as you're still 1-star. Rewards are given like say 1 character shard, MP coins, etc, and as you progress those rewards will increase naturally, helping you to unlock the Gold-Plat Ranks.
Gold - Platinum Rank - All start at 2 stars including crew members. The races become a little more challenging, with character abilities now unlocked. Rewards are now increased, basically gearing you up for Emerald+. Example: 2-3 character shards, Tokens, MP coins, etc. By the time you hit Emerald rank your character should be 3 star, which is the requirement to hit Emerald. Players will still lose points once they hit Platinum.
Emerald - Champion Rank - All start at 3 stars along with your crew members but as you get closer to Champion your character should have enough shards through rank up to be 4-star ready for Grand Champion.
Grand Champion - Ultimate Champion & Top 500 Rank - The highest tier and everyone is at nearing 5-stars once they close in on Ultimate Champion. This is highest level play, and true skill is tested, as everyone is equally ranked. More to come!

The incredibly unfair matchmaking sucks all fun out of Ranked Mode.
How am I supposed to have a chance in this race? Why do we have to lose this many points in a race that can't be won?
distant halo
When the compensation for ranked is coming, can you please make the players choose between different options how they want to be compensated? Otherwise we get compensated with stuff some of us don’t need (and we still can’t exchange upgrade materials). This suggestion is not only feedback for this compensation but also for compensations in the future
lavish tide
Ranked Rewards implemented into Daily/Seasonal Missions:
Another idea that came to mind, and this was inspired by other games, is to integrate some specific ranked rewards into our daily/seasonal missions. So for example:
All of these tying into a new ranked format would easily bring more players into playing ranked, since dailies/seasonal missions will encourage everyone to participate in the climb, solving part of the problem of there not being enough players on the ranked ladder. This also will make playing a lot more engaging since it's all tied to the Golden Pass, meaning players will want to grab as many points as possible to unlock GP levels.
undone crescent
The compensation must be what old ranked players don’t have. It was in the middle of last season and new players have access to many more materials. The player who have paid to have more characters were very prejudiced by this. We have to ask for what is fair. A compensation is that. Not asking for something that wasn’t on the line at first place.
worn raven
Adequate compensation would be rebalancing Ranked and fixing the system, and not locking huge chunks of the chapters away behind characters we don't have.
Those behind this game desperately need to work out the difference between a difficulty curve and a difficulty punch in the face as it's affecting the whole game now.
wheat storm
Now would be the time to give us the missing bread from the change in MPR so poeple without level 30 jafar or aladdin have the chance to move them past level 25

Another person here unable to complete Jafar season tour node due to my Jafar being stuck at level 15 thanks to using up the ranked bread resources up last season. You need to announce a time frame for when we will be receiving compensation. Hopefully before the end of the season. If it's going to be after you need to let us know. It is impossible to recommend this game to others when problems like this exist.

Also adore being stunlocked every few seconds, often multiple times by the same racer's trail. Love that there's no invulnerability after being hit, love that the game thinks increasing the difficulty means screwing over the racer as many times as possible.
I also love that it's now impossible to play certain racers in Ranked without getting demoted (Jasmine chief among them)

I am also struggling by missing out on the MP rank rewards. Got many racers to mpr 20 prior to the change and now I have them all locked out of resources to level up. This really needs to be fixed and before then end of this season or there are rewards I will be unable to get.
brave ether
Personally I'd like a cool down for side ramming. It's the most stressful part of online minus clocks. Also would like to see invincibility frames added after being stunned.
As it stands, it's extremely easy to just be constantly pushed around and stunned back to back between items, constant side ramming, and no invincibility frames.
lavish tide
At this point I'm losing the motivation to keep climbing the ranks primarily due to a lot of stability issues, with players just teleporting out of nowhere and ramming, and specific character abilities that just knock you back way too far (Elizabeth Swann for example.) or simply last far too long on the track. I see no reason to risk climbing the ladder only to run into consistent issues like these, which plague the overall racing experience, and only add more irritation than fun to what's happening.
I truly love this game and the potential it has, but major issues like stability have to be addressed at some point down the pipeline
worn raven
The 1v1s NEED to stop in Ranked. And the 1v3s.
Lobbies below 5 players need to stop existing. They only benefit the people with OP characters. You know this is a problem so for the love of all that is reasonable, fix it.

if the game forces you into a small race like 4, players it shouldn't punish you so badly for coming in 4th in a high lobby since it's not your fault it's that small, -50 points for coming in last in a lobby that small is overkill (that's how much it is in high diamond idk if that value changes elsewhere)

Honestly coming in last should be 10 points off max for any level
Sometimes losing 80 points for coming in last after the game freaks out with all the powerups going on is just the worst kick in the teeth a player can suffer.

I've said enough about ranked compensation, but genuinely with all the time limited events, the longer this gets prolonged, the bigger the issue gets.
That aside, Clocks in ranked need to go. I've now lost a good handful of ranked points due to the person behind me getting a random clock that launches them past the finish line.
proper citrus
This is just ridiculous
Ranked should be based on skill, not on losing because we're paired with players with a 20-level advantage
lavish tide
I'm officially done with ranked mode until a lot of the issues are addressed. I see no need to invest time into the game when the reward to effort ratio is far too skewed to the effort side, with little reward for players in terms of skill expression, and instability creating very stressful circumstances. Having worked in the game industry for several years myself it's understandable that issues like this aren't going to be addressed right away, since it does take time when compared to other more smaller issues that can be dealt with in a shorter span of time.
However, moving into season 6 these prevalent issues will have to be observed carefully because should these things persist for far too long, more and more players will start to deviate away from playing, which will likely lead to an influx of more complaints and dissatisfaction. I truly hope season 6 will be a nice reset because I'd like to play Speedstorm due to it being such a nostalgic experience for me, but for now to keep my mental state in a healthy place I'm going to wait until that reset happens. I'll do my usual daily logins and limited event stuff but that's likely the most I'll do for now

Yeah same issue I have had myself. Now I have been playing from the start of early access back in last April. I feel like this whole time and money spent is wasted, because I am locked out of two challenges. Which seems to be ripping me off. Especially if we are spending money on this game.
magic frigate
I've been playing since early access, and I do believe the ranking point system is good the way it is to keep it competitive. But I think the levels and MPR of players should change.
Levels should be based like this:
Examples:
Level 1-15 (if you get to a certain MPR passed the MPR max for that level, you'll be placed to a higher MPR bracket because your skill is far beyond level 1-15 and that MPR)
Level 16-25 (Again look at example one)
Level 26-30 (Again look at example one)
Level 31-35 (Again look at example one)
Level 36-39 (Again look at example one)
Level 40 (All level 40s regardless of MPR get matched with each other. Doesn't matter if you're MPR0 or MPR35)
Level 41-43 (Again look at example one)
Level 44-47 (Again look at example one)
Level 48-50 (Again look at example one)
Also I do believe that the clock should be taken out of ranked. That just hurts the competitive nature of the game and the players.
The random boot to your main console screen when you win a race happens quite often for me and I don't lose points or gain points.
Also the game freezing up when you're in the middle of a race and you're forced to close the game out and take a loss.
Someone mentioned the laggy connection a lot of people have and it's been hard to side swipe other players with that bad connection. I agree that needs to be looked into. Or make it so people get matched with good ping an open NAT.
I was rank 16 on the main leaderboard this season and I slowly dropped to rank 51. I just haven't been invested in playing the game as much anymore because these reasons and lack of compensation that still has not been issued.
I hope you all fix these issues and make ranked good again.

To touch on this and add more, the silence for this extended period of time has driven a ton of people, including the majority of friends I’ve made in this game, to quit playing the game entirely. It’s causing matches to become more and more uneven as time passes and people leave. I should not be getting a 1v1 against someone 5mpr and 10levels higher than me while I’m queuing at 26mpr.
We can’t complete the season because we’re locked behind rewards that everyone else has gotten but us, since we’re stuck at low levels with no way to increase other than pay, but we can’t get the rewards we’re locked behind because we can’t complete the season or rank up. It’s a ridiculous paradox that can only be solved with money at this point by the players affected.
To give perspective, I am not a “hardcore veteran.” I don’t “have so many materials that it doesn’t matter.” I started last season. Some of my characters are stuck at high ranks with low levels, with no way to rank/level them up or use them in the season. Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY, likes the feeling of being stuck and having to buy your way out. Which is why y’all are getting so much feedback about this. My question is, why is none of it being addressed?
And before this gets deleted, no, I am not “replying to” or disagreeing with anyone, I am simply using the reply feature since I am referring to someone else’s feedback in my feedback.

It would be nice if there were more opportunities to spend multiplayer coins after you get everything out of the mp box in the shop.

So I decided to just jump back in for a very small rank climb (reluctantly) for Meg shards and sadly I was met with 2-3 races where there were only 4 racers total, including myself. After it became clear that no one else could join, 2 of those players left and it created a 1v1 scenario. This made it very apparent to me that more work needs to be made to ensure that players are never loaded into a race that contains less than 8 racers. There should be a system in place where if the amount of racers doesn't amount to the total then:
Otherwise, the rank experience will just continue to degrade over time, and especially at this time where the game is in F2P, the likelihood of new players coming in to try will be higher and if their 1st impression is what we're currently experiencing, they're leaving right away.

If you leave in a race and are Rank 16 or above you are counted as last and do lose points the next time you complete a race. So if you quit and would of lost 50 points for it on the next race if your placement got you 70 points you would only increase by 20 so there is a penalty for leaving. But I completely agree that the game should favor full races instead of matchmaking speed. I would rather wait 1-2min for a full 8 player race than have 10s queue with only 4 racers

Ah okay thanks for clarifying that Sir Kuriboh! It would be nice though if they added this feature throughout all ranks and not just above rank 16, since I had this issue happen frequently in the bronze-gold ranks where I was leveling up a new character and players would just leave since they're not losing anything, further encouraging that type of behavior. I know this may be strict but I'd also suggest a 3-strike system where, if the player leaves the game 3 times they're banned from playing on ranked for like 20-30mins. This way it keeps people in check and encourages everyone to stay in the game and play to the end.
If anything, if the game can't seem to find a full race then I'd suggest throwing in AI to fill up the spots at least.

It's absurd for the top 100 players to receive the multiplayer compensation, they've already spent money to get the materials to be the best, the ones who need the compensation materials are the players who can't earn these materials in any way, the compensation should be given to everyone and not just the top 100.

It's absurd for the top 100 players to receive the multiplayer compensation, the...
the rewarded players weren't the top 100, but the top 100 players who spent the most hours in ranked

The reward was not the ranked compensation.

So, from what we’ve seen, the decision was to reward the top 100 player who have strong teams to be hours and hours on MPR while the other don’t have any chance because we didn’t have the materials or the compensation. WOW.
wheat storm
You rewarded individuals for playing a broken mode with a teleport mechanic that isnt functional, people with low signals exploiting not being hit, and people who have not been compensated for playing ranked last season still not receiving compensation two months later. And you wonder why theyre not playing. I would bet the majority of winners were whales already steady in mpr who didnt need those rwards sin the hopes of receiving more money from them next season. This would not surprise given more f2p games survive off of the income of whales and fomo tendencies. This also resembles a game losing licensing soon and not being transparent with their investors or their players. Be transparent. Do good. Or dont expect a dime from the majority if your audience
distant halo
It would be nice if ranked untill MPR 26 don’t loses points. The materials needed are now more common during season tour. Above 26 is for “advanced” racers and not needed for the season tour. It will slightly change the way ranked is used

Just some negative feedback that there is lack of players in my racers. 4 players is 80% of my time playing

I get invested in your ranked and then literaly right after a 8 person race I face a 3 person race. Youre telling me five people dropped after the race I just did? Give us two ninutes to fill a lobby and get your act together
worn raven
I think what gets me about Ranked is the fact that we lose so many points so fast. Even if Ranked was balanced properly, you can still end up in fifth a few times and lose a TON of points... For what reason??
Why does Ranked carry you merrily up to Rank 16, and then just throw you to the wolves? There are staggered amounts of points lost, but it's still just too much especially when Ranked is as broken and unbalanced as it is.
obsidian glade
It's quite annoying to play against some people with a bad connection, they keep teleporting from one place to another, it's impossible to hit them, you use skills that should hit them but don't hit them even though they're in the area of effect, and you end up being stunned out of nowhere, the main parameter for pairing should be with people close to you (same country or countries close to yours) to avoid this
tame veldt
Please, we need more info about the Ranked Rewards Compensation. Any communication would be very appreciated
unique arch
If you're going to put lower level racers with higher level racers in ranked (which by itself is weak design), then having starter items is really poor game design. As the lowest level in my race, my real only chance of success is by racing well and avoiding items. If I'm immediately attacked before I even cross the line, my race is already ended as most others then get away with no chance of me catching up.
During this particular race on an Arbee's Arena track, I was attacked immediately at the start and never caught back up to the pack. I then got lapped, only to be attacked again by the racers in the front. I got deducted points for this where there seemed to be nothing I could do. I was the only level 30 racing with 35s and even a 45.
Even if you don't want to change that, the best and probably easiest tweak that could be made is for the points algorithm to take into account the level of racers and not punish those who are clearly weaker than others from being at the back.

I used to log in and play this game every day but I have hit a wall with leveling up. I need the RMP rewards compensation that we should have received by now so I can upgrade my racers. I only log in now to get the daily missions done which I don't even do every day anymore because I'm so discouraged. I'm starting to believe that we will not be getting the rewards and that they are hoping we all just move on and forget. It would be great to get an update other than "we are working on it". Any ideas when it will actually happen? I am sad because this was my favorite game to play but it may be time to move on to other games. I paid for the game the day it came out and it just feels like a slap in the face to those who have been around since the beginning.

Currently plagued by higher rank MP issues, relating to over lvled opponents or lack of any. In regards to the compensation I've refused to play new MP only my top racer. I can't bring myself to lvl them and there may be changes in the future again because there has been no news on your plans.
Of which if there is not compensation at all by season restart, or rank and reward resets for everyone at restart. I will not be purchasing the next season when it hits and going to play the one with building blocks instead.

The racer boost was a good addition. Not great about removing the other weeklies though. But the racer boost started making rank really unstable with levels.
Match players by level and not mpr.
No reason a level 25 should match with a level 40, yet a level 40 can't match wirh a level 37 because mpr difference.

I liked the multiplayer compensation but it only gave compensation for one type of item per collection from season 1 to 4, where are the watches from the Mickey collection, where are the ambullets and vanishing potion from the Alladin collection that are missing, the compensation will still lack resources.

I like the season box credits and like the 55 bread I need.
But I have hundreds already of the other stuff. I get that's for new players, so that's fine I suppose.
But really would've liked to see some hour glasses as I missed out on a lot of those
glass wraith
I liked that we got compensation but the problem i have is the compensation does not include mats for mid season racers! as well as the materials for level 35 plus that we should of gotten as well as the amount does not nearly add up to what we would of gotten if we did ranked in season 5 with all those racers
distant halo
The compensation is more needed for materials up to lvl 26 (most players play up to there I think) instead of just having bread and stuff. The compensation was waited a long time for, but for what? This is a general compensation, not based on the levels where you ended. This could have been done in a few days after the announcement of the compensation. I thought I would get a real compensation for the stuff I missed, based on my MPR ranks.
digital jasper
I agree with the four people above me about the compensation, it's nice but it does not compansate the things we missed out on, some racers are so hard to level up now because of that.
tame veldt
The Compensation dont help F2P Players who start on Season 4. We lack more than you offer. Where the Energy Drinks and other collections upgrade materials? Waiting 3 months for that is a slap on your face.
undone crescent
The compensation doesn’t make sense. What about the triple energy drinks? And what about the other characters like Mickey collection? I am struggling to see what’s the point of giving feedback. You are not listening to your player base. What a mess… it was a simple thing: give the amounts that are on the system. We all know how much we should have because the game has that information. The level of disrespect… far too much.

The "compensation" is a slap in the face. I will be spending more time on other games.

The only good thing we're getting in the companion is the season box credits but everything else isn't good. I feel like they should give us tier 2 and tier 3 materials like pro shades, pro helmets, Energy drink trios, pro gloves, troll capes and etc.

Why didn’t u just give us the difference in mats based on the rank we reached? I don’t understand the logic behind this “compensation” I also don’t understand and don’t like how it took a long time for it to be addressed. Something so small could’ve been fixed over a weekend, right?
spring flicker
I said it before, and I'll say it again. I believe star level should matter in a Ranked race and should be a priority in your fixes. 1 star racers trying to level up, should NOT be put into a match with 2, 3 or even 4 star racers as this screenshot shows. The focus of wanting a match to be with 10 levels (whether character or MPR) is not present here. If they're a higher star (and usually higher level), the race is unfair before we even start. Prioritize fixing this, as this makes for unfair matches.
wheat storm
Your reporting system is crap. Tons of cheating still happens watching people spam jumping, people abusing bad signals, and poor matchmaking. Do you read our comments and react or just hope whales foot the bill?
Edit: forgot about time clocks as well.

I think ranked should be class locked, speedsters get put with speedsters, brawlers get put with brawlers and so fourth, or at least as an option for ranked, like overwatch having rolequeue or all roles (pretend it looks something like this masterpiece I created for example)

Ranked already struggles to make a full 8 player race which is what I see the most complaints about. Splitting the player base 5 ways would make that worse not better.

Nah this “compensation” ain’t it. Strung the community along for months just to have some half thought out compensation that doesn’t even cover what was lost. It’s clear the devs don’t care about the majority of the playerbase, only the whales. I will not be returning to this game.

Ranked needs to be more heavily considerate of star levels. A lot of players now know that star levels boosts stats. My 3 star, level 33 Wall-E, for example, cannot compete against the 4 and 5 stars players I keep getting paired with. Instead of ranking pairing people within 10 MPR of each other, regardless of cart levels, it needs to pair people against similar star level counts too. It's really unfair to try my hardest just to end up losing points past rank 16.
wheat storm
High level mpr is still abysmal for matchmaking let alone bad signal immunity. You also have abysmal service to high level characters stuck in low mpr who may need the shards from mpr but cannot level up since you constantly put characters like my level 35 jack who is mpr 16 with mpr 26+ who are 40. Now I am hoping you didnt want to make changes to mp until the new season but given teleport still exists it mp I highly doubt it.
worn raven
A major issue with the game that is becoming apparent is that when one character has an edge in their power-ups, multiple of the same powerup can be an immense problem. This only gets compounded by multiple of the same character having multiple power ups at once in a single race.
If each character was limited to only having one of their special at a time (i.e. you run through a power up crate and you have a special activated, just don't let it give them a second special) then it could really solve a lot of the issues people have been having.
Remove the ability to pick up multiple special moves, and compensate for that by having a catch-up mechanic that slightly slows those in front and slightly speeds up those at the back, and you'll find more people playing Ranked.

Was that really the compensation?! Some credits, coins and recent season specific gear?
There HAD to be some negative reactions that got blocked, no way everyone loved it.
I ranked a bunch of players and we all gave all different ideas on what to do.

Nothing that hasn't been mentioned before, but if you really want to push people into Ranked, at least try to improve the matchmaking system.
It is impossible to even reach mpr23 now as a lvl25 character cause all lobbies are unbalanced with lvl30/35/40 players.
It's quite frustrating and unfun and this should never happen before Diamond

indigo elk
I think that in the early days of the season, you should restrict multiplayer to just the characters of the season, so as not to compete against the previous characters who are at super high levels, so that you can get the materials from the collection to the diamond with less difficulty.

Holy! Fix the MP ranked! I'm struggling as a level 35 Jessie to hit MPR 28+ because I consistently get lobbies w/ 7 racers who are level 40+. I was beaten by an overleveled Mike who didn't even drift boost once the entire race!
p.s. This is midday on the weekend when matchmaking should be the best; it's not like I'm complaining about MPR when it's after midnight on a weekday

Revert level based matchmaking to MPR based. If people want to complete in higher ranks they need to level up their racers. This will allow those who already are high leveled to climb faster, which will solve the issue of low pop racers in higher MPR.
rich warren
Uuh, no. What needs to happen is that the matchmaker ensures that races are actually matching based on level and, ideally, crew levels.
Cos right now, I'm still finding lopsided races as early as Silver, with random 35+ racers that have no business being paired up against a 2* lvl 25. I even had a game where I ran into a fully equipped lvl 45 Mickey while I'm doing the early ranked climb.
There is no good reason for why characters should "need to level up to be competitive", it's a system that only frustrates players.

Just want to say that if people are struggling to win with a 2⭐️ max 25 try playing better as I can still win in gold and plat and emerald with mine even when my friend has a 5⭐️ 45lv and we fight for 1st and 2en against each other’s
The main issue in rank is diamond 💎 rank and higher
As the matches u run into are 1v1s what is a 50/50 chance of winning I who’d rather wait 5 min for a race with 5+ than just take a 50/50 shot at winning a 1v1
Yes it might be hard to get shards for old characters or event characters and will fell unfair but still winnable with a 2⭐️
(Please explain how people are in max rank when all I get at 1v1)
pearl flicker
Revert matchmaking by MPR (or league) and cap leagues by racer level and stars and increase gradually the max level and stars (racer and crew) among the leagues (gold lv 15, 1 stars, platinum lv 25 2 stars, emerald lv 35 3 stars, etc). This way you can have a fair competition in ranked and can gradually upgrade your racers to match the league they are in the moment. Before downvote, understand: level up racers and crew is still important and will be required as long you up ranks, but at the beginning of ranked the game needs to be balanced by league , each league with maximum lv and stars (if your racer have more, it will be balanced to fit the league).
If it is not implemented, in the future it will be common you be paired to a lv 45+ because the old players will upgrade racers and they want to play with them, ranked will be major with lv 45+, you can't expect new player and even experienced players with low level racers can beat them.
Matching players just by level is unfair to the player who upgrade his racers expecting easy climbing in ranked, but matching just by mpr can make a terrible experience to new players. We are know that the game cannot make fair matches because there are not players sufficient playing ranked. So the way is to at least make a better experience to new players by lowering the level and stars if playing the first leagues
wheat storm
Now you need to stop removing points when i lose points because I am waiting for players when everyone else aleeady started the race. That or you know fix the issue of people starting before ps4 and Switch users
worn raven
I deeply agree on the matchmaking. I'm shocked this hasn't been addressed.
You can fix fix fix individual characters all you like, but you cannot expect them all to function in the same lobby with wildly differing levels. Ranked is still broken and should be wholly based on character levels and stats, not an arbitrary rank.
Trapping higher level players around rank 30-34 even with four-five star characters due to insane points demotions is only compounding this problem.
wheat storm
The ongoing issue of pushing people back equating to terrible locations for whales with the people just learning their characters continues. How about you do the ranking races? Or you already have the programing in private to set levels for all people who join and then just have thr champions have nothing holding them back that way for example every who is at 30 or above is set to 30 while thry level up emerald etc. Sure crew will still make some op but there is scoring you could do to push them up in rank faster, not force the low mpr people who want shards etc. Im at 25 with eric already but mpr 0 bc i used ariel and triton to level him up for tritons event. Why should I be pushed when i get him to 16 but still need shards to get him to 3 stars bc oh hey hes 25 put him with the 30s. As I said last season youre getting your veterans to the point pushing the button for diluted rewards makes us play less and less killing your game

I have a suggestion for ranked. So like seasons in sports where teams stats start over and gain wins/losses.

Ranked patch notes I'd like to see.
-Clocks have now been removed from ranked matchmaking. Clocks will still however appear in regulated and single player modes.
-Rebalancing of point loss/gained in ranked mode. More points will be awarded to players, while only the last 2 places will lose points. Point loss now has been reduced to be less punishing.
-Players racers will now be regulated levels depending on rank, however crew can still be applied and star levels won't be regulated. This will reduce the level gaps between players.
Examples: Bronze - level 10
Silver - level 15
Gold - level 20
Platinum - level 25
Emerald - level 30
Diamond - level 35
Champion - level 40
Grand champion - level 45
Ultimate Champion - level 50

Personally, I would like them to stop increasing or decreasing the level depending on the MPR.
My body remembers the speed and ease of turns of the racer I'm using, so if I have to make it go faster or slower every time, I don't feel comfortable running at all. :/
If implemented, I would like to see a new feature called "Regulated Ranked Multiplayer" that adjusts the level according to MPR. 😄

Just want to say that if people are struggling to win with a 2⭐️ max 25 try play...
If you're beating your friend's level 45 racer with your level 25 racer then tell him to "try playing better"... that should never happen unless he's running no crew
I think they need to level-gate certain ranks or be less punishing with points when it comes to losses
grand sky
This is pretty simple to fix, clearly we are matched with higher levels or lower levels as there is less community playing MPR. Now this is all fine, but just make it so you don't lose points if the Lvl gap is over 5 levels between you and first place. If there was no punishment for having to spend a race or two with higher levels rather then long waiting times.

Sort of jumping off this, there should really be SOME sort of reward just for playing ranked.
It would probably go a long way towards increasing the number of players, which in turn should balance lobbies at least a little bit.
Right now, as much as I'd like to just chill and play as my favorites, it's really a waste of time. Especially in high 25+ ranks where the 5 level reset amounts to hours and hours of play time just to regain ground with no reward
steady knoll
I noticed the new characters for this season only get a static 5 tokens per rank up no matter how high your rank is and only 10 per tier. That doesn’t increase either. You need to give better incentives for people to play ranked. Not take away incentives.
mellow abyss
Ranked definitely needs xp rewards for playing. Or throwing in some more incentive like more blue tokens, or seasonal coins, tokens? Multiplayer coins should not be the only thing we get for playing. I agree with everyone else on this topic, it is boring to rank up characters just for multiplayer coins and no other reward in return? Every other competitive game rewards you more with xp etc.

For instance we should get xp or season coins for just playing a race. Several games have this where you always get rewarded for just playing the game. This is my suggestion for the developers as I believe this will help keep the fans interested and want to keep playing.
worn raven
To echo the above, season coins or XP for finishing races (apart from MP tokens) should absolutely be a thing and would incentivise people to play Ranked more.
Also, if you MUST rank down racers at the end of the season, the rewards should also be made available again instead of having to play through 5+ ranks with no reward.

Youre killing your game. Due to the excess of people who joined on the fluked generous season of frozen the mpr 21 and above is now flooded with level 35+ characters keeping the level 25 to 30 crowd down when they need mpr 25 to level up. And with no other means of progression you keep us from wanting to play and not come back aside from friday chapter releases. This is how you lose a playerbase which will become altogether worse when you push these 35+ back again at the end of the season.

The game has so many characters to grind in ranked. Why not making easier to climb? Maybe making loses less hurting? Losing less points? Why I will play ranked every season with the same characters if the prize will be just mpr coins? I want to play with the new characters to get their materials to upgrade them, not for the leaderboard and I think the major playerbase play ranked by the same reason, why not make this proccess less frustrating?

Glad to see matchmaking with level or with mpr are both working great.(sarcasm is not strong in text apparently) Im not 35 by choice game. How about you let me get the shards so I can be 4 stars
rich warren
It very much isn't working great. I'm sick of seeing races with 15+ levels of difference.
And no, I don't care if anyone thinks that being in a similar MPR range constitutes as a balanced race, because it doesn't. It's an arbitrary number so long as there is no proper balancing of racer levels, crew, or a proper point distributing algorithm.
wheat storm
It does not help pushing people back and then forcing us to match in mpr. My level 40+ who i only got to mpr 26 to 28 are hurting those needing shards in emerald league. Stop pushijg back unless you rank based on etar or level and again just stop pushing back is the preferred choice

I guess we just keep on complaining about this and hoping something will change. Not going to hold my breath though.

In games, I will play against some of my PS buddies in cross-play disabled so that it's mostly just us. But there are a few other people that will hop in low MPRs (like MPR 9 even) with level 42+ Mickey's. They will at first come in with an appropriate character, lose, then come back with an extremely OP racer to flood us out. I would like the ability to prevent matchmaking with certain racers to stop racing against griefers.

I would like to see level be paired in matches then mpr. Level has more impact to the balance of multiplayer in my opinion. I am sure plenty agree with me it still needs more balance, and this mode is the bulk of the game. Also when we lose after mpr 16, in last of the matches. Instead of losing points, can’t it just not gain any points? This is my feedback and recommendation for the developers. It would help make the multiplayer more fun, and probably keep people wanting to play the game and less complaints.
grizzled rivet
Feedback is to ensure that matchmaking is fairly balanced. Right now, we are often matched into races that we have absolutely no chance of winning, so you are stuck into the bottom 50% of results, no matter how good of a racer you are. Then, you are actually punished once you get into Platinum and above, which makes no sense whatsoever (Note, I did notice today that I wasn't punished when I came later in the race on Platinum today, so has that been fixed/changed? or only applied on higher levels?)
If it didn't punish you when your opponents were clearly in far superior levels of their vehicle, this would at least lessen the insult to the injury, but I would really love it if someone from Gameloft could break down the logic behing matchmaking and why this happens. It's not an exception, it's very common.

Why is teleport still a thing (s1 complaint)? Why is matchmaking beyond your mpr still a thing (s4 complaint) why do you not incentivIze mp for those of us who are stuck or pushed back? (S2 complaint) these are repeated complaints yet we hear minimal reponses. Please be transparent or you lose us

Are you serious gameloft? One star level 6 matched with a level 30+. This is why no one wants to play ranked the top 2 racers have less than 0 reasons to be in this race. Fix the matchmaking

Still 1v1 in champion league for god sake fix your matchmaking system 😡
worn raven
1v1 in the high levels is a symptom of severe bottlenecking and most racers not bothering unless they're super dedicated.
Just remove the insane points reductions for every loss (By all means keep them, but reduce them by 80%) and the problem will sort itself
Losing 70-80 points for getting screwed over when the game is so imbalanced is simply being vicious towards your players.

And removing bumping down when it serves no purpose especially when at those of us who have been consistent mp coins do nothing.

If they do that then everyone who is somewhat competitive will leave. The only real solution is to matchmaked based on MPR, not levels.

With Ranked still unbalanced to this very day, I recommend that this mode get regulated. For example: Everyone is level 5 in Rookie and Bronze, level 10 in Silver, level 15 in Gold, level 20 in Platinum, level 25 in Emerald, level 30 in Diamond, level 35 in Champion, and level 40 for Grand Champion.
Also, when players get stunned by skills; have them be stationary. A stunned racer should not be able to move onwards as though they've not gotten hit by a Shot, Bomb, or a charged Shield Skill.

Ranked fix won't happen, they're not capable of that, we're now in season 6, meaning they've had 6 seasons to change something about it and nothing happened... you can see even in the high rank that they can't do it u still get 1vs1 matches .... i know this message will be delete quick cause they cant handle the trueth....

So i have some feedback for ranked we are now at 50 racers and next season we will get more the deranking has to stop having to regrind all my racers has been taking up all my time instead of focusing on my new racers and that's with grinding alot I think resetting ranks should no longer be a thing or if you do it rewards us and have that progression be faster since we were that rank already so it doesn't take us the whole season to regrind our characters back to where they were also I believe losing 40+ pts in a 1v1 or 1v3 should be lessen if not losing points in general should not be a thing again with 50+ racers it will literally be impossible to level and grind up every racer if this keeps up. I also think ranking needs to be reworked alot of people are losing interest in ranked because they are getting paired up with 40+ racers i think there should be a cap like diamond should be nothing higher than lvl 35s and goes up by 5s per higher rank like 40s would be champ 45s would be grand champ and 50s would be ultimate champs that way based on level you should know what rank you would be capped up or anything higher would be difficult due to the higher lvl cap

Thanks guys. Show us you dont care about ranking especially when you expect us to reach level 40 which means needing mpr 30. How is it I had an 8 man match earlier with mostly diamonds then suddenly you screw me over with all champion level racers who are clearly not in my league let alone have the ability to be over 40. How abojt you show some transparency and show us you care or youre just taking our money because we have no roadmap and we have no clear views feom the devs that something will change? Or are you just letting things run until you announce the game is dead and taking our money and running.

Just wanted to leave positive feedback here. Thank you for listening and not requiring a lv. 35 EVE for the event 🙂
Requiring a bunch of low-level characters that not everyone has is much better than requiring 1 high-level character that absolutely no one has.

I recommend offering two different types of multiplayer matchmaking: Strict Matchmaking (waiting until the same levels appear, which may be a wait up until 60 seconds) or Chaos/Random Matchmaking (which matches the fastest, but can be a mix of high and low levels). I just match with very high level racers and had no hope, but I would've waited longer than 20 seconds to match with others at my level if given the opportunity.

Yeah, I'm getting really tired of losing races and points to people who I can't even compete with, I need to get a couple racers to MPR 18 for the 5 shards to level up, but, no, here comes 25s and 35s, to jack my roll

Matchmaking... how the heck does this make any sense to be fair to me as a racer? How about a ranked MP hotfix? How is such a fundamental aspect of this game so, so bad?
Note, I had many more races like this straight after. My ranks were around 32-33, and all other racers were 35-45

Heres some feedback: Do your job. Matchmake, not put me with the same two people who are mpr 32 when Im mpr 29 that were 10 seconds ahead of me the first time i raced them. Oh wait. That doesnt make you money why should I expect you to do something? Once again need to reach mpr 30 bc of the last chapter needing level 40s or even 38. If your supervisors think mobile will help this think again because people are blasting reviews everywhere to avoid this
Also minimum should be 5 or 6 so we have a chance to not lose points, not 3 where losing with three people loses you 45 at this level

Another exmaple of the bad matchmaking.
Everything seems good until you notice the 2 unfortunate souls suffering at the bottom. Their rank and level are both low so there is absolutely NO REASON they should be in this race.

Yeah what's worse is, if they are TRYING to push into new MPR levels, they are then subsequently punished for coming 7th or 8th with negative score. So it's insult (spend the time to race in an impossible to win race) to injury (punish you for it). We should have let people who are too low to compete, go into their own race

The fact that one of my level 15 characters keeps ending up in races with level 30+ is ridiculous.

Living in MPR hell right now. Only got enough shards in original Wall-E event to unlock him (at least it was better than most people). So currently stuck at a level 15. So played MP to gain some shards to try and get to 2*. Made it through the lower "free" levels to gain 14 shards, so I am now 6 short. But I just hit Plat and now my level 15 Wall-E is getting matched with level 25+ racers because my MPR is in the same neighborhood. But since I am only a level 15 (with no special) I am constantly at the bottom and am losing points. Even if I somehow manage to get to MPR 18, it's only going to given me 5 shards so I would still be 1 shard short (because of that stupid 4 shards you get at MPR 2). There is no way to do this without spending money. Even if you grind this game, the way matchmaking goes, it is like beating your head against a wall. It is so frustrating.
tame veldt
The matchmaking don't work as intended, they pretty much get random low levels to full the lobby, i 2* lvl 25 have to Racing against 3* and above everytime being on Platinum Rank. This mode is so bad that the two reasons i come back for is because of the upgrade materials/ racers shards and the the weekly missions (That you actually lie for, since started last season we supposed to free choose what mode want to complete challenges...)
serene gulch
My lvl 15 racer needs to get to MPR 23 to star up so they can level up more and use their unique skill. I get stuck at MPR 21 because all of my opponents are in the lvl 30's. Even if I reached MPR 23 somehow, I would still be capped at lvl 25 then. The way the game match-makes is not right.

It is actually possible to get a fair race where racers levels and MPRs are all within the range thereby resulting in a fair match. Why is this the exception and not the rule?

Just scraped into Grand Champion with Jasmine right now, but my god this is unbearable.
You can't keep bottlenecking the game to the point where I'm on rotation with only four other players in three-person lobbies. I refuse to believe there are only four other players worthy of Grand Champion online worldwide. This is not workable. Stop the ridiculous point reductions and this problem will largely fix itself, let people ENJOY your game.

So if I’m getting this right, is this season supposed to demotivate us from doing the season pass?

I genuinely believe that making it so that ranked goes off of Star Levels would be better here. Yeah you could make an argument about a level 1 racer against a level 15, but at the same time its not like the level match system is fair as it is currently. There's such a big jump from 1 to 2 star racers that the moment I get matched with anyone above level 15 thats actually trying, I've got no chance, but I have to grind ranked with low-star characters to get them to higher tiers.

I play Ursula at level 1, till the lobbies are all 15s.

Getting last place in a three person lobby should barely punish you. It should not lose the same amount of points as getting last place in an eight person lobby because the losses are entirely different. If my decripit and slow self gets last place in a 1 v 1 against Usain Bolt, there's no shame in that. If I run the Boston Marathon and get last place? It's kind of different. Do you see where I'm going here, game?
If you punish players by giving them a small lobby, their penalty for losing should also be smaller.

I saw that for new people it it really hard to compete with others. First of all the level difference for new players is too big and accessing new characters or upgrading it at low stages are very problematic. especially shards. You just play with better geared people and lose. For high level players it is hard to find people because of how many people are playing at that level (again shard and small population). I strongly advice to invest in some advertisement as the game is really bad promoted in social media/steam/epic etc. It will give you money back and players will have the people to play with. Game has great potential! But before you do it please let people get 1-2 star heroes easily accessible.

The connection is really bad and sometimes it can cause people to lag out while racing along with other players, so wish that the game was much easier also it be nicer if we can get some points for people who make it from rank 16 to the rest of the other levels to make it fair even if it's a slow process to rank up it's good to grind and get more points to level up and earn more points too really.......

Fix the matchmaking why am i getting grouped with 15s and 35s. Matchmaking should be broken up by star level 1* against 1*, 2* against 2*...etc Its completely demoralizing and not fun to continually be put into matches that you have a significant disadvantage. This is the reason ranked is dying. No point in playing if the game is just going to give you overpowered opponents for your level. The whole point of a ranked queue is supposed to be going against people of your skill level but yours doesnt care about skill it doesnt care about levels it doesnt care about stars seems like it just grabs a handfull of players and shoves them in a match regardless if over half of them arent going to have a good time because theres some overlevelled character in there

Racers who are Lv. 35+ smurfing in pre-Emerald lobbies need to be filtered to the top MPR lobbies. It's obscene that a Lv. 50 Jasmine can be pub stomping in pre-Emerald when she should be racing in GC-UC lobbies. There's no way these players are inexperienced if they've invested that much time into leveling up their racers. These players are bottlenecking lobbies, which ultimately leaves higher MPR lobbies dead at any time. They should be with other players at that character level, even if they're sub MPR 16. It would alleviate frustrations for actual new players who are barely Lv. 15-Lv. 25 in Bronze-Emerald, and give higher MPR players lobbies. I don't care if these players say they're inexperienced, they're ruining ranked for everyone else because they choose to wait until they're Lv. 35+ before jumping into ranked. It's blatant smurfing on newer, actual beginners and it's unfair. These players clearly have a base-level of game knowledge, at the very least.

brave ether
If you're going to force players to play ranked to even do half of the content in the game (the half that's not gated by paywalls)
Then the point system has to go. It's not fun at all losing 70 points because you faced several people 13 levels and an extra star level ahead of you.
Ranked isn't fun at all.
Ranked is:
Boring
Repetive
Stressful
A chore
Glitchy
Rage inducing
Completely unbalanced characters and map ratios
Adding 5 seconds of invulnerability to the start of each race would help make it so the start of the race isn't so stressful with starting skills. And would prevent people from side stunning me before I could even accelerate.
Adding a cool down to side stunning would prevent players from spam swiping. Like if you side swipe, you have to wait 5 seconds before doing it again.
Be more thorough with the map selections in ranked. I don't want to play on maps that are shaped like an 0 (arbees) or a ⏹ (hercules). I want to race on longer tracks that have some turns, some obstacles, and aren't just complete straightaways (I dread agrabah so much 😭)
rancid vector
I'm finding the points system very unbalanced and unreasonable. Winning a race is worth 90 points which can all be lost again by placing 5th a couple of times.
I also cannot get my head around the idea of my rank being lowered at the end of the season. I fought hard to get there and now I have to do it again with no rewards along the way

I find the ranked multiplayer being unfair they need to give everyone a few points for using skills or doing their best in the race also I feel like they need to add Easy Anti Cheat to stop anyone from hacking or using mods on the game, so everyone can try to play the game more easier

If you suspect a fellow player of cheating, you can report them in-game.
To do so, click on the player's name at the end of the race from the race results board, then select the Report option.
You can report users for suspected cheating or hacking, or for offensive usernames.

I feel like the tier up marks should be gated so you cannot go back a tier especially when things like mpr 25 and mpr 30 give items to go beyond 30 and 35 respectively. I could see people exploiting the -100 to stay in a lower ranking just to troll the new people hitting platinum and emerald

what even is the priority on matchmaking because it makes no sense there are people here who are wildly different star levels, mpr, and character levels. There is a racer 3 leagues 2 star levels and 11 lvls higher than me let alone that poor lvl 15 you threw into the match. This needs to be fixed because there is no obvious metric for matchmaking despite what you tell us it does. Every match there are people that just cant compete and its not a fair and fun experience.

Keep ranked unregulated. There are several games that use this approach unlike what some here believe. EA FC and 2ks sports games are 2 examples. Compared to those the monetixation in this game is much better. My only issue with ranked is the fact that you take levels into account for matchmaking. This should not be done and i have never heard of a game that does this. The sole reason for that is that it doesn't have a place in a ranked mode. Matchmake based on MPR instead so higher ranked players can move up faster and get into Leagues above Champion more easily.
rich warren
First thing: EA's Ultimate Team and its monetisation model are heavily criticised, from gamers and critics alike, that no company should ever want to emulate it if they value their integrity.
The only reason it was even successful in the first place is because it drew on players' desires to build the fantasy teams they want. Even that steadily changed over the years until is became the P2W joke that it is now.
Secondly: Matchmaking solely on MPR is only valid if all the other factors that create the imbalances are regulated. Racer levels, and Crew Ranks especially are the biggest gatekeeping factors, which actively halts ranked progression and prevents the mode from being remotely fun to play. When the mode stops being fun, the mode depopulates, and the issues grow increasingly more pronounced until matchmaking simply cannot function, much like it was before Season 4.
If Gameloft insists on Ranked being unregulated, then there needs to be considerably more direct ways to acquire racer shards (particularly for racers a player does not currently own) and crew shards, and they need to be obtainable without using tokens.
What we have right now with the Daily Deals Store and the Universal Box is simply unacceptable.
spring flicker
Make the lobbies larger in Champion+. I don't care what it takes. If you have to queue for over a minute, so be it. The stress of having only 3 players in a lobby is not right for any of the racers. In most instances this season, there will be a racer who is character level 45 or over going against someone who is probably not even at level 40. A more populated lobby is always more desirable.
sweet cedar
I feel like with the new leveling system there are new solutions for ranked matchmaking, and heres mine.
Since everyones stats are going to be relatively close within each star level, we can divide the ranked matchmaking into 5 tiers.
Star level 1 | MPR 1 - 9
Star level 2 | MPR 10 - 18
Star level 3 | MPR 19 - 27
Star level 4 | MPR 28 - 36
Star level 5 | MPR 37 - 40
Characters will first be matched based on STAR LEVEL
Then if they reach the next tier it is based on their MPR
The amount of mpr ranks per tier can be adjusted accordingly. 8 ranks per tier works too however this pushes everyone down to rank 32 unless they have a 5 star, which makes it more crowded

I'll reiterate this, since I'm sure it's already been said, but please don't reset the ranks of the racers in Ranked after the new season begins. If you do, at least allow us to earn the materials from that tier again.
I understand this might have worked with fewer racers. The problem is that if this is done again, people who have more racers or even all 50 (like most veterans) will have a tremendous chore to get their racers back to where they were prior to the reset for LITERALLY NOTHING. This is not sustainable and, for myself, it doesn't make me want to play this mode more. Especially with more racers being added in the future.

I'll reiterate this, since I'm sure it's already been said, but please don't res...
Seriously. I understand that the ranking converts into some extra materials or whatever, but it isn't worth the trade off because then I have to do it all over again with no rewards. With how punishing Ranked is, why would I even bother? It's hard enough justifying the reward tiers let alone ones without.

Decay is killing the game for me, please get rid of it. It serves no purpose. I’m just not gonna play that much if I have to regrind multiple character. I enjoyed getting the characters up but when all of them take a hit at once it makes me not want to re do it cuz it’s gonna take a lot of time to get all of them back up. Please just get rid of it. It serves not purpose, place us at our highest Mr with the character and keep it there. No more decay.

Google translation:
These days I often see complaints about matching.
Why not make it possible to optionally or forcefully skip up to the Maximum MPR achieved -10 (tentative)?
(Please give me a reward for each skipped MPR.)
Problems arise because we match Beginners with Experts.
If this measure is introduced, most experienced users will skip it (except for those who like to bully the weak), so I think the number of complaints from inexperienced users will decrease.
Beginners and Experts
Both non-paying users and heavy paying users are "Users".
If possible, I would like the game to be fun to play without seeing any complaints.

One should never lose ranked points. Not gaining any points already halts progress and is punishment enough.
After all, points that aren't gained are points lost.
Deducting points on top of that is multi-dipping in the bad, as I call it, and is rarely if ever enjoyable design for the players.
quick summit
Suggestion for end of season resets: since there will be over 50 characters now, consider only deranking a portion of a user's racers. This worked well in Brawl Stars when the number of characters got so big. Maybe lower the ranks of everyone's top 20 racers, or do a percentage of their collection? But deranking 50+ racers each season with no additional rewards is brutal (especially since many of us have nothing left to spend mp coins on).

Can track hazards and boost "jars" be removed from ranked?
It's hard enough to avoid all of the (often invisible) items used by other racers, adding the hazards seems like overkill. They are in really obnoxious spots too. It makes sense in single player since the ai isn't as aggressive, but against actual people it's too much.
The boost pickups are a different issue. Since there is only one that does not respawn, the person in first has first dibs on them. And that only serves to further solidify their lead.

Imagine this situation if you will. In Champion lobbies (or actually any level where this happens for that matter) the lobbies are more than likely 3 person lobbies. If you come in 2nd place, you get 10 points. If you repeat this 5 times, you get 50 points. Only to race again in a 3 person lobby and get 3rd to lose 50 points. All that work is wiped out. It's INCREDIBLY discouraging and I know this doesn't just happen to me.
I'm convinced this system is this way on purpose, given the severe lack of attention to attempting to fix this. If this was a priority for your team, it would have been addressed already. I hope it is, The matchmaking is already the most unbalanced it's been in the three seasons I've been playing.
Either give racers more points to make it feel as if they didn't just waste their time when things like that happen. Or a much simpler solution would be to make the lobbies larger. I understand that losing points is part of the competition aspect. I was racing in a 7-person lobby when I first started playing this morning and never saw that kind of lobby size again. The algorithm shows it is possible to produce larger lobbies. So do it.
tame veldt
I think every start of a season all MPR should be reset to 0 and you could still win the rewards again (Not tokens BTW) that would encourage people to keep play ranked, not because the mode is fun or anything, because we actually could still win at least Racers Shards and the upcoming upgrade Coins.

I think a being able to create custom rooms with custom settings similar to how Mario Kart 8 is would be very beneficial for the game. You can pick certain tracks, have only specific collections or racers usable, and even items too. This would make for a much more fair and enjoyable way to race others online.

Multiplayer could be balanced by pilot stars with some rules, you would need stars to advance in the higher MPR.
MPR 1-10 (1 star)
MPR 11-20 (2 stars)
MPR 21-30 (3 stars)
MPR 30-40 (4/5 stars)
Laggards will play normally, for example: 5 stars in CMP 1, they will play against 1 star people, however with each consecutive victory, instead of gaining 100 points, they would gain 500 (this would make them leverage up to the CMP they should so as not to disturb others).
Race rewards (XP and Season Coins based on your race placement)
Rewards by MPR goal: reformulation of the rewards (I would remove the blue tokens, leave them exclusive for sale, thinking about the good of gameloft, not that it deserves it, but for the good of the game)
MPR 31+ would give Team Member Fragments, including the golden one.

I think crew should be added to racer boost and ranked. Even if it's just like 1 basic crew shard in racer crew and 5 crew shards on the last level of each tier in ranked

4 is definitely not enough. You easily get the overpowered people in even enerald league gatekeeping those who need supplies in emerald league. And even if a person takes second they are getting next to nothing for the hard effort put in. Races should be 6 minimum.let us wait

matchmaking needs overhaul
stoic current
Match mpr 31 and mpr 40 together. I find no lobby. What's the point of continuing to play? Also change points distribution in a 3 man lobby. No way 3rd should lose 70 and first place get 60. Needs 2 races to make up for a defeat.

They honestly need a lot more multiplayer options, in both ranked and regulated. Last man standing, teams, online tournament and/or cup modes.
Regulated becomes boring and ranked becomes a grind, they need more MP options to maintain the fun, and most of them should be regulated

Would it be possible to provide transparency on the current queueing and matchmaking logic altogether? This has been problematic since I began playing six months ago. I am trying to get Belle to Lvl 25 under the season end deadline, but getting matched to racers up to 24 levels higher is taking the fun out of it. This is brutal.

Please change ranked lobbies so that the stars are relevant. The levels are now linked to the stars anyway. You would be doing many people a favor.

Ranked should get reworked.
I've said this before, but I think it would be cool if the ranks had level caps where you are sync'd you down.
They can leave crew members as is.
Platinum - lvl 15
Emerald - lvl 25
Diamond - lvl 35
Champion - lvl 45
Grand Champion+ - lvl 50
Example: You are level 30 emerald you would sync down to 25, but if you are level 20 emerald you would still be level 20.
spiral peak
Ranked could use a level/stats cap per league, it would fit better than ever now with the crew member changes.
With the amount of racers now, it's almost guaranteed to get queued with racers way overleveled for their league.

It's incredibly disheartening to be disconnected from a race, unknowingly lose 50 points because you did nothing wrong, then go into a race again and lose 50 more points. Fix Ranked so that you don't lose points when you are disconnected from a server side issue.

Please, add a way to earn more golden pass exp (like finishing races in multiplayer giving you 25-50xp per race). When you finish all missions the game feels “empty” and giving exp per race is a nice a way to make the community more active even if its 10 miserable exp xd
neat gazelle
It's been a year since the release of the game, but Ranked still picks up riders 20-30 levels higher than me in the race, after the update already from platinum, it means that for the whole year you have done absolutely nothing to improve the matchmaking. This is the first time I've ever seen developers don't care about their game at all. It's absurd when a non-ranked mode is more competitive than a ranked mode. And after all, people are supposed to spend most of their playtime in ranked mode. I've decided I'm not putting another cent into this rubbish game until this is fixed. Gameloft you suck!

I keep seeing level 50 racers in lobbies. If you're level 50, you should not be allowed to be in queue with low-level racers. I have just been trying to get to diamond, but since the start of the season, I keep getting bombarded with level 50 racers (or close to it) in my lobbies, even more-so than before. Please make it so that if you're a certain-star level, you only get racers of that same star level or something, please... 😦

I said it before and I'll say it again. INCREASE the amount of points you get for coming in 2nd in a 3 person race. 10 points is a small act of pity, but it's a large act of cruelty when you spend 20 minutes racing only to make ONE mistake, come in THIRD and see those points disappear.

This would give the lower levels a chance and not be immediately frustrated. Positive side effect - more players in ranked + fuller lobbies.

Now more than ever we need an overhaul to ranked. If you arent going to actually balance it or make sure we have a good time the least you could do is make it worth grinding after you hit the mpr wall due to your character not being a high enough level. Gives us some pass xp and season coins for each race regardless of position so even if you come 8th(more like 3rd since filling a lobby is apparently the hardest thing ever) your still making progress somewhere. As it stands now the second you hit the wall there is no reason to keep playing youll just be losing mpr and gaining nothing but frustration when the game frequently puts you against lvl 50s when your barely lvl 30

More than ever you need to fix match making this Season, the new upgrade system is great but this create a new problem with a Lot of lvl 50 players being add to rookies-emerald lobbys, Ranked always feel unbalanced but this is a whole new level.

Please remove point loss when you're losing to someone 5+ levels above you.
Ranked really isn't fun or balanced in its current state.
brave ether
Ranked turned out exactly as I expected since you announced the leveling changes.
You really can't play anyone anymore unless they're 45+ with all the level 50s out in the wild.
And with the huge point losses you get, for not being in top 3-4, it's not worth trying ranked at all.
Would really like point loss to be removed or greatly reduced.
And matchmaking to only take into consideration levels, and not mpr. No reason my level 50 racer should be queued with a level 30 racer or vice versa.
A level cap system per rank tier (gold/diamond/champ/ect) could also work.

What is this? There are no rules now?
small charm
There currently is no matchmaking in this game. It currently matches up whoever is trying to get a race at that time in 15 seconds or less. I can go from an 8 human player race where there is a 15-20 level difference between the highest and lowest racers, to a 1v1 race with fill-in bots. And this at MPR 10. Granted I do get a full well balanced, complete human lobby on a very rare occasion. But that happens as often as Haley's Comet comes around. There has to be a way to fix this.

No point touching ranked now honestly.
I'm not really looking to lose 65 points because racers are 3 star levels and 31 levels higher then me.
rancid vector
I cannot understand the matching in MPR but I can live with it since its a mixed bag as to if it benefits me or not. However I am constantly annoyed at the start of a season when all my Racers are reduced to a lower level and I have to spend hours clawing my way back with no rewards along the way (yes I know we get "Vanity coins" for the reduction but I have nothing to purchase with them). This concept really needs fixing
slate yoke
Adding what was already said thousand times. Just yesterday I was grinding my lvl25 Wall-E MPR13 to MPR23, meet several lvl50 against me (25 levels difference, like what?), usually driving against lvl28 (okay) to lvl35 (not okay).
The new star systems give very good opportunity to match based on stars, which gives at least relative balance (still crews can break balance, but again, with new changes, it is not that easy as before), so USE IT 🙂
Edit to deranking: The dropping should be at least based on "max" or "season max", not current rank...
As an example, with my Wall-E, I reached MPR 22 last season (Emarald league), then drop to MPR20 (Platinum league) and "forgot" him there... As derank is now working the way "get to first level of current league, and then 3 levels below" I was dropped to MPR13 (Gold league only), so two leagues under my reached maximum and had a lot of races to get back up, with no rewards at all. This is really demotivating from playing ranked at all
strange lark
Dropping rank each season needs to change. Each new rank should become the lowest you can drop. If you've cimbed to Diamond, you should never derank below Diamond again. Same for all others. This will allow people to continue their climbs and keep higher levels out of lower leaugues. As for leaderboard scoring, only add that score back once a player has raced with that character in a given season. This is how it works currently anyways.
Point reduction should be removed or reduced in low count lobbies. If you can force a 3 player lobby, why can't you do eight? Keep the points consistent for all places, if you're in a race with only 3 people and you come third, grant the points that a full race would have. Empty lobbies is not the players fault. More people will engage this way.
Older characters need to be rebalanced to keep up with the power creep, especially on the top speed stat. As an example, a completely uncrewed lvl 35 Elsa or Ariel, both defenders, have a higher top speed than a lvl 50 Swan with maxed out crews in all slots. There should be a minimum top speed at lvl 50 for all characters. At the moment only a handfull of characters are competitive at the Ultra Champ and above, especially at lower lobby counts.
Matchmaking should be fixed for lower levels. Lvl 50's should not be matched against lvl 20's under any circumstance.
Have an incentive to play rank so that people will engage with it. Grant a little bit of experience or coins each race, or even offer a single shard each level you reclimb back. At the moment there is no incentive to reclimb with a character after a season drop.
pine monolith
Seriously I am absolutely disgusted, I got 3rd out of 8 people and I lose 40 points, FIX YOUR POINTS SYSTEM NOW, also, when or shall I say if I ever get a racer to MPR40 and Grand Champion, I will ultimately never use that racer in ranked again, once you get all the rewards, mostly the shards, there will be no reason to play them anymore, there is no kind of a ranking system like Mario Kart, if there was and if there was some sort of tournament for people that high to race against for some awesome rewards, then maybe, I'd think about still racing then
tame veldt
I think to make things more fair, when the game put low level against high level racers in the same lobby, high level should win less points and underlevel lost less points, that way If you want to put everyone together in this dead match making don't punish the underlevel racers

glacial grove
Slowly trying to make my way to MPR 18..
How about NOT playing versus two level 50 players?
tawdry hornet
What is the point of ranked mode?
Example: You have all drivers at MPR40 and have therefore received all rewards. From that moment on, there is no longer any reason to play ranked. The MP coins are hardly used anymore, as you end up with far too many of them. You can no longer spend them either, as the option to buy skins etc. individually in the shop has been removed.
There should be new rewards for each driver every season.
A good option would be to get (visual) items that you didn't get in the current season with the MP coins in the chests. From the new season onwards there will be new visual parts in ranked. (Skins, colors, tuning parts) This gives you much more incentive to play ranked so as not to waste the MP coins. As a compromise you can also make the MP chests a little more expensive.
New season - new items in ranked.
Old items in mp box.
Always ranked from 0 at the start of a new season.
For such a concept, fair matchmaking is very important.

Grand Champion+ - lvl 50
Example: You are level 30 emerald you would sync down to 25, but if you are level 20 emerald you would still be level 20.

We REALLY need to cap the character levels in ranked for fair gaming. Matchmaking right now is a HUGE mess consisting a wide gap of different lvl racers, which creates unfair and unbalanced gameplay. The capped level should be something like:
Rookie: Capped at Lvl 10
Bronze: Capped at Lvl 15
Silver: Capped at Lvl 20
Gold: Capped at Lvl 25
Platinum: Capped at Lvl 30
Emerald: Capped at Lvl 35
Diamond: Capped at Lvl 40
Champion: Capped at Lvl 45
Grand Champion: Capped at Lvl 50
Ultimate Champion: Capped at Lvl 50
If your character is passed the lvl cap, their stats/lvl will be reduced down to match the appropriate level.

This mode is seriously only 6 or 7 players at the highest level of Ranked. This is a horrible design. You have successfully made it to where top speed matters and nothing else. Why do you feel this is a system that is sustainable? And does our feedback in this section matter at all? I don't feel it does, or that it is even a priority for your team. If it was a priority to provide balanced matchmaking, you'd have done it already.

@copper plank Start taking notes players are getting angry and disgruntled that they are playing players with level 50 in lower leagues (e.g Platinum to Diamond.) players have expressed their disappointment and it has now gotten past the point, there needs to be a matchmaking where come up against players with similar levels in that corresponding league and keep level 50 players OUT if you want a fair matchmaking system it’s not hard so start taking notes and feedback or you’ll lose your player base

I come once again to show dissatisfaction with how the platform combines players in the Classification Race (CMP) part.
Once again, they are combining characters with absurdly different levels (max speed, impulse, handling...), which is making it very difficult to obtain fragments for a specific one; in addition to playing the game becoming an increasingly unpleasant and boring experience. I don't understand what the platform's matching algorithm is like, but I think it's something that should be reviewed. The CMP does not need to become a "regulated multiplayer lobby", they should just allow up to a certain level of difference between characters. OR change the form of rewards. OR do not decrease your score after losing a race from cmp 16 onwards...
Anyway, there are countless solutions that seem like the developers are either not listening to the players, or even listening but preferring those who can pay for fragments.
I understand that some players can deal well with discrepant races like this, but I think these are highly specific situations and do not represent the majority of other players.
Another suggestion: Arbee's automatic mode (on iOS mobile) could also be revised regarding the issue of drift, since in automatic the character stops drifting depending on the section of the track, which makes it difficult to accumulate nitro, especially for characters slow/heavy.

If this is the second half of season seven, then seven seven hasn't ended. Why derank people? On that note, why derank people ever? If you're concerned about the leaderboard, only derank people above grand champion. You should do away with derank because it accomplishes nothing and only makes the game unpleasant for people because they're forced to race against high levels every season who are forced to climb back up.

Wow thank you for deranking us in the middle of the season that will definitely not muddy up the pool of players. We already have a MASSIVE problem with matchmaking screwing with ranks mid season is just going to make that worse. Why is it at every junction you make the worst choice possible?

The writing is on the wall the players are leaving and your answer is to push them out the door
elfin scaffold
De-ranking people half way through season will cause much anger and frustration.
The lobbies are already imbalanced enough, now you are putting Champs in Diamond lobbies, UCs and GCs in Champ lobbies on top of the lobby imbalance. Not to mention you didn't announce this anywhere. People were grinding toward goals and you just pulled the rug out from underneath them. Arbitrary and capricious, both.
When your decisions make the lobbies less fun, when your decisions render our ranked efforts moot, ranked multiplayer is less fun. Then you insult our pain and frustration by presenting we are "rewarded" with vanity coins. Vanity coins are not spendable for anything if you aren't a new player.
What you just did was punish players who were having fun playing your game. Hint: remember when we were kids and we played a game on the playground that had arbitrary rules that changed mid game? We stopped playing it. Hint: it isn't fun. Hint: you wouldn't enjoy any sport in the world if rankings and rules changed mid-season! Not one sport (or game) in the world would be fun.
This decision will chase more and more players away. Without players you have no income.
You hurt GameLoft even more than the player base with this decision. Make no mistake; you hurt the player base badly here.
This is a fun game, or at least it used to be. We are here because it is fun. You cannot wring out the fun and expect to soak up more money. That will not work.
Please do not ever de-rank players midseason again. Please do not put another nail in this game's coffin. Please take this nail out! Please do not kill this game.

I have an honest question.
I have gone back into Ranked to try and recover those points lost. I have gained a few. Will the points I gain after my reset be added back to my previous deranked position?
Example: My Elsa went from MPR35 back to 30. I have gained 215 points since then. Will those 215 points be added to my previous ranking in MPR35 after you give us those points back? Or will you just put us back after the reset and those 215 points will not matter?
I ultimately don't want to waste my time. Every minute you delay in addressing this is causing me anxiousness on top of the disgust I feel towards your fumbling.
You have SERIOUSLY dropped the ball with this "unintentional" reset and have lost most of the rest of my goodwill with it.
I say "unintentional" because there have been several people who have had their ranks reset, like myself. Then there are others who haven't been affected at all. That fact makes me feel like this game favors certain people over others even more now.
wheat storm
now that upgrade coins are a solid item, you reallg have no reason not to do new seasons every season and let us earn those again as well as shards
as a follow up to that level gate the ranks like we can in private matches so people have a chance. It stinks enough when you have a 3 min 40 sec race that you know youre place in the first minute (no thanks to your screwing over the crew as percent making all top speed characters OP). Give ys a fighting chance
it is not a good sign when mid tier league Emerald i am seeing a ton of 4 and 5 man matches during peak hours on a Saturday night. Perhaps that suggests something about needing to adjust your gameplan to keep people or do you want to let the curtain down and reveal that numbers are low in general so we are charging high the remainder who are around?
The matchmaking complaints have been around for a while no. Your lack of transparency since QA season 2 has been disturbing
pseudo frigate
Either remove the negative point reward from the race (if you don't place high enough, you don't earn anything), or pair racer levels in comparitive the level of the racer you use in the tier. Is disheartening to try and climb ranks when; the moment you wind up in a lobby with 4-5 level 50's to your level 25 or so, you lose your progress on building your character rank gauge. Negating the negative reward in such a scenario works as you won't have to suffer for crappy matching. Keeping the racing level comparitive to yours when you match up works, as you won't wind up in a situation where you literally tank in rankings because you are trash level-wise compared to the other racers being gods. Already losing rankings at the end of every season already hurts progression. Having to deal with losing points when you end up in a lobby match literally outmatched isn't fun.

Can we possibly receive a single iota of communication from the team regarding the MPR and crew situations? "Team is aware" was the last reference to the crew breaking many of the characters, and as you can see from the wealth of frustrated comments, MPR is borderline unplayable for many of us at this point. The matchmaking, if can even be called that doesn't work and many of our favorite characters have spent the majority of the season crippled by your changes. Not bad enough? Thanks for the reset, BTW. Glad to hear it was unintentional but what are you doing about it??? That's kinda the important part. Maybe communicate and people won't be so upset all the time. Just a thought. Stop posting a single concept art as your content for the week and address real concerns and matters regarding the game.

When ranked resets please only lower a racers MP score if it is higher than it was before the previous reset. For example: suppose in a previous reset my MP score drops from 5000 to 4000. During the season if I gain only up to 4500 its less than 5000 so don't drop the score in the next reset. If gain up to 5500 its more than 5000 so drop the score in the next reset. Reason why: I like to play every racer in ranked a little each season. Because there are so many racers each reset now drops more MP than I gained so I'm basically going backwards in MP score progression! Edit: Or alternatively, don't allow the MP score to drop more than the amount you gained during the season.

The matchmaking is pretty bad for me. It’s not bad when your racer is upgraded below level 40 or 50 but when my racer is upgraded to level 44 I get paired with players who racers are all level 50. Like for example in this image here. I propose that all players should be matched with the same level their racer is at with players who have the same level as you. So I please ask of you to make the level matchmaking fair for me and other players because it is not fair in the state that it’s in.

I get you guys want to punish ditchers but when you cant even keep a consistent signal and make me freeze or crash maybe you should consider lowering the penalty on a single drop especially when it is becahse of you.
Also you srill dont have a population in the middle of the day on platinum rank. Maybe treat your playerbase in such a way they want to keep coming back.

Gameloft. You say that the matchmaking in a party can have a level difference of 10 but when you get into a lobby, strangely enough, it no longer plays a role?
You write that you want feedback, but for several seasons the feedback has simply been ignored.
Please change something.

Once again, we REALLY need to cap the character levels in ranked for fair gaming. Matchmaking right now is a HUGE mess consisting a wide gap of different lvl racers, which creates unfair and unbalanced gameplay. The capped level for racers should be something like:
Rookie: Capped at Lvl 5
Bronze: Capped at Lvl 10
Silver: Capped at Lvl 15
Gold: Capped at Lvl 20
Platinum: Capped at Lvl 25
Emerald: Capped at Lvl 30
Diamond: Capped at Lvl 35
Champion: Capped at Lvl 40
Grand Champion: Capped at Lvl 45
Ultimate Champion: Capped at Lvl 50
If your character is passed the level cap, their stats/level will be reduced down to match the appropriate level for the rank they are currently in.
Also, losing points in ranked is dumb. It's far too easy to lose points due to other circumstances, like not enough players or getting DC'd, in-game race bugs like getting stuck, and so forth. You shouldn't lose points, but instead not receive any points if you ranked in the far bottom positions of a race. Ex:
8 Racers Total: Top 6 get points, bottom 2 get nothing.
7 Racers Total: Top 5 get points, bottom 2 get nothing.
6 Racers Total: Top 5 get points, bottom 1 get nothing.
5 Racers Total: Top 4 get points, bottom 1 get nothing.
4 Racers Total: Top 3 get points, bottom 1 get nothing.
3 Racers Total: Top 2 get points, bottom 1 get nothing.
2 Racers Total: Top 1 get points, bottom 1 get nothing.
Something like this would make Ranked Mode less frustrating to the players, not having to worry about bad races making them lose points.

During my latest attempt to level up Kermit by MRP I come to demostrate that ranked is broked in Matchmaking. During just a hour (on May 26th 4:00 pm GMT-6) of gameplay I got these leaderboards. Bringing me down many MPR and not seeing to get better soon. Removing completely my interest in playing this mode. I just putting this as an example of the current situation and completely supporting other players like @north zephyr did. Put a limitation or give us bots to fill the room if there's not enough players with our level. Or at this point separate the rewards from MPR doing a alternative way to measu progress that doesn't depend of MPR. We will appreciate a fix soon for this.

Why are the upgrade token rewards in ranked lower for older characters? Should be 500 in diamond for everybody.
500 is low as it is

I hope the total earned ranked lvls can be a criterium too. Racer lvl and rank doesn’t always fit. Some people might invest a lot in a racer, because they need to because of their racing skills. Having more crew and stuff. Hope ranked is fixed soon! My goal was to get every racer up to 26. I downgraded it this season to 21. The - points are a pain in the air.
pine monolith
Last warning, I'm just about at my wits end here, you can either make the ranked races more evenly matched or stop penalizing us points by placing 5 or lower when we are going against racers we CAN'T beat, because we are 10 or 15 lower than them. I wouldn't mind if I even got 10 points for 8th place, at least I'll feel like I'm making some progress, but, when you put my Kermit level 20 against 30 to 40s, I can't beat them, not because I'm not good enough, it's because they are too strong and I have no chance, and then your gonna say oh you get minus 60 points for 8th, cause I should've been able to beat them, do you even understand how that feels, try playing your own game and see you feel about it, I'm frustrated, I have quit games that I loved before that I wasn't putting in any money, I liked to stay cause I have put in a little bit of money, but, if you are not going to care, then neither do we, goodbye
unique birch
I used to like racing in ranked, but now it's a chore. I got Kermit up to level 23 last night but it took me several tries to get there when I was within 30 points. The first time because I was in a three person race against a level 46 and a level 44... and my Kermit was level 26. I came in third and lost points because I was matched in an unwinnable race. I wouldn't even mind zero points for a low placement, but losing THAT MANY points for something that I couldn't possibly win is unfair to the player. It doesn't encourage people to keep playing or to spend more money, it discourages people from trying.

Guess yall got tired of us posting with receipts huh? Saturday morning and this is the kind of matches your giving? This is absolutely unacceptable, its the weekend one of the better times for matchmaking and yet it is this unbalanced? This is why no one is buying anything because you cant even fix the one part of your game that should be endlessly grindable instead ruined by terrible matchmaking, over punishing the player for gamelofts inability to give a balance match, and constant lowering of rewards to make it even less enticing. Why slog through this sweat fest when your barely going to get a level for your character. Matchmaking should be by level only MPR means nothing in this game because of the leveling system and should not be used as a matchmaking metric if you want a fair/fun experience that people might actually put money into

Pls make the Ranked races more balanced/evenly matched or stop the penalty points for placing below 5th place.
We normal players cant win nor match the pay to win players, Its so unfair. I would gladly take 10 points for 8th place, this would at least be and feel like some progress. Since some ingame achievements require a certain rank or wins. But atm its impossible.

It seems to me at this point, it seems we are all complaining about the same thing, unfair and unleveled playing field in ranked, and we've been complaining for how long, I have a feeling at thus point, they are not going to fix it, how long has this game been out for a year now, I think the only way maybe to get or force a change is everyone to not play for a couple days, I think if thier players server drops by 80% they'll be forced to do something, I should be getting my Dirt 5 on Tuesday, I'll be playing that, and then maybe, just log in every 4 hours to get my free things, nuff said

At the Grand Champion level, what sense does it make to lose 60 points for coming in 4th in a 4 person race and 70 points for coming in 3rd in a 3 person race?
Your scoring system actively punishes players more for coming in a podium position than not? Why? What sense does this make? Who decided this should be this way?

Since the new season has been announced, I would like to direct GL's attention to this again.
Know that we have not forgotten about the "unintentional" reset that killed the motivation for many people to not play this mode for part 2 of the season. If this was truly not intended as you claim, then there should be some kind of recompense coming.
And I'm not talking about the vanity coins that many people have tens of thousands of that WE CAN'T USE.

Your compensation for the accidental derank was wholly inadequate for the hours lost, not to mention the loss of passion and trust.
Please just do not derank us (at all) at the start of the next season. You just deranked us twice back to back. Deranking again will make ranked matchmaking even more mismatched than it already is.
The lobbies are still scrambled. As you know, after a derank, UCs are now in Champ lobbies, etc. As you know, multiplayer ranked has been less active after you killed the morale of the players who played it. ALSO, please do not forget that you changed how crew calculates and the balance of heavies & lightweights. The game needs to settle!
You have a ton of feedback regarding bad matchmaking. Part of this "bad matchmaking" is because you have UCs and GCs in Champ and Diamond lobbies. If you derank us again, before we have a chance to get back up to where the racers actually belong, then you will literally compound this issue. Even more high level karts driven by fast players will be reduced to ranks they don't belong in, and this will frustrate players above and below, both.
I am also of the opinion that a tighter MPR spread in matchmaking will, in time, smooth out most of our "bad matching" problems. People's kart level and skill will vary, but as long as the MPR is in the same ball park then in theory these racers have a chance among one another around the track. Some are climbing, sure, but the tight MPR spread in the lobby will go a long ways.
In summary:

In team mode, if you get last place but your team wins, I think you should get +1 point to at least remove the feeling that you lost or let your team down.
small charm
Team mode is a great idea ... as long as you have a full team. I have only done 2 races so far, but in both they start off with 6 racers, 3 on each team. However, neither race finished with all racers. Won one, lost one. At least the "disconnects" in solo play does not affect the outcome. However, you have one of your team mates who never connects there, it's a lost cause for the team. So as good as an idea this is, it is not playing out very well.

wheat swan
I like team mode quite a bit so far but I think teams shouldn't be allowed to have duplicate characters, I got into a match where the opposite team had two Calhouns and it made the race pretty unbalanced since she has a pretty powerful skill to begin with.
Edit: I also think stage hazards should be disabled during this mode, it's already kinda hard to see which racer is from which team just from the ground markings and having a racetrack full of stuff on the ground to avoid doesn't help.
hollow spruce
Team mode's point gain/loss system being based on individual placement in the race is a bad idea imo. It takes out half of what makes it a team mode, as you are still fighting your teammates for placements. I understand that it was made like this to prevent boosting, but if the idea of boosting here is that a racer that is super high level can carry other racers, yes, the fix to that is to round up the placements. That's not a bad thing. However, when 2 teammates place high resulting in a win, but one teammate gets a lower placement, yes that racer should get less points if they aren't on the podium, but not negative points. This is just solo ranked mode but with friendly fire slapped on 2 racers in the match, all still competing for the top placement. Basically, keep in rounding up the placements to determine a winner, get rid of being able to lose points when your team wins. With some possible adjusting to which placements determine the winner, it would work while still preventing boosting.
worn oxide
I think ranked races should return to 2 laps. Preferred that to the 3 lap system
elfin walrus
Multiplayer is whacked & totally broken! Your MPR selection is just so bad & totally broken! Only great if your lvl over 40 but if you low character you might as well suck on a lemon for any good it does. Putting level 50 & 2x 20+ in with a entire team with less than total 40 is complete bullocks & a mockery.
rancid vector
I do not like that you now have to select your racer before entering Ranked section, why can't there just be a list of Racers once you choose Ranked. This new layout also doesn't allow you to see what the rewards will be for reaching certain levels. I would often try and push Racers to a level to earn shards, I now have no way of knowing how when I will earn them.
The changes to points and addition of Team mode seem to be an improvement though as is no longer dropping the level at the start of a season for lower Ranked players ( I don't really see why you insist on still dropping the higher Ranked players)
stark night
Just a quick shoutout that I love the new team mode from all I've seen so far. Before, ranked was a necessary nuisance to earn some early racer shards and I'd never touch it again after MPR 18 or so. Now I'm actually having fun. Yes, I still end up in some unbalanced lobbys, but to me it doesn't feel as bad and punishing as before. Also, sometimes you end up on the good side of the imbalance, lol. I'm actually considering (for the first time ever) to try and level up racers past emerald. Maybe I hit a wall again at some point, but still, team mode is a welcome change and together with the (mostly) removal of the derank between seasons this might even out the field.

"There are also no restrictions on the Racers that can make up a player’s team in Team Mode." This feels misleading because my ftiend and i are still gatekeeped because I played solo ranked and got to diamond but he stopped at gold for many of his characters because he got tired of the level 50s facing him as a level 35 to 40 please let us team up together
honest sequoia
There's a lot of lvl 50s out there in all ranks yet the system continually matches them with people lower level than them. I raced against lvl 50s with my lvl 20 platinum inside out racers, and 50s with my level 40 diamond racers.
The system has rewards for individual character shards all the way up to Grand Champion, but players feel like they need to be lvl 50 by emerald to even continue competing making those bonus shards useless.
The recent team mode and ranked changes help overall, but the core problem of lvl 50s dominating MPR at all levels continues to hurt the system for all players wanting to play & progress. There needs to be some check and balance to provide respective progress without feeling the need to always be at max level.

I play team mode ranked as a solo player. The random groups we get put in should only be queues against other random groups. Earlier today I lost two matches to the same pre-made group of three people who ran three Jumbas once and then three Ariels the next time. Randomly formed groups will never be able to compete with pre-made groups, since pre-made groups can exploit the meta. I would really appreciate it if you could try to change matchmaking to prioritize pairing pre-mades against other pre-mades.

A level/stat cap based on rank leagues (Silver/Gold/Platinum etc.) would be very beneficial to the game
Not only would be a more fair approach to ranked, but it would improve matchmaking in gold~diamond ranks

Please make a seperate leaderboard for team mode instead of having solo mode and team mode contribute to the same leaderboard. It would make
Right now with how Team Mode is, people can be rewarded for being bad, and getting points for that in the same leaderboard as the solo mode just doesn't make any sense. Now ranked isn't anymore as much as to how good you are and getting the rank that correlates with that, but now with Team Mode, gaining points has become a lot more easier, and losing points a lot more difficult to the point that climbing the leaderboard is now more of a factor of how much time you want to put in instead of how good you are.
To clarify, I am in no way saying that Team Mode is a bad thing, I'm enjoying it so much, but it ruins solo mode/ the current ranked leaderboard by having Solo Mode and Team Mode be linked to the same leaderboard

Please make it so matchmaking for team mode always waits until there's enough people to fill a team, it doesn't happen often but I've had times where I got into 2 vs. 2 team matches and even got a 1 vs. 1 match once, which completely misses the point of it being a team match in that case lol

For groups can you allow the mpr difference to be waived and focus on actual level difference. Im being punished because my friend was turned off by the balance issues with mpr solo whereas I did get mine to diamond 26 never thinking groups would be a thing.

Fix this before mobile goes live othewise it's going to be a mess even more than it already is. My two cents...

You have to quickly make sure finishing last but being on the winning team gives no more than 0 points or very few points. The abusing of the fact you gain points in 6th with a really low leveled character might get out of control. I’m not here to carry players who didn’t upgrade their characters to points with the risk of me losing the game because of the same players. This can potentially become a huge problem and already is one. I’m seeing people at MPR 26+ not even drifting once when spectating them 10 seconds behind. Players putting it on auto drive with a lvl 10 or lower still getting points is not just wrong, but also kills the fun of playing a team mode

I belive the rank is in a good state right now. still getting the points that your getting and getting good Real estate for being in first even if you lose
If I'm working my best on a losting team I want my points that's not fair I lost points cuz other are not one. Working together or have low lvl racers which is not there fault also.
I feel like to fix this issue is to make the shards rate more higher and to give more shards.
And even ifffff I do lose I only get -3 points taken that's very forgiving and I Appreciate that.
Plz do not go back to the old school points no one and I mean no one wants to go back to losing 40. This is the best I've love this game is in a right Direction and you'll do absolutely commandable with the rank points everyone is winning.

Make it so that we can be matched with players of a lvl no more or less than 2 (unless it's a unique case of, say, a lvl 18 with a lvl 20. In that case, a lvl 18 with a lvl 19 due to star difference is fairer) from mine. And if you can, match players with crew of a similar combo as well as star lvl
slate yoke
Matchmaking is still tragedy. As opposed to previous post - rather than "max level difference", the matchmaking should be based on star level as much as possible (honestly, difference between lvl10 and lvl19 is much less than between lvl19 and lvl20) - the system, with stars based on levels, gives very easy way to correct the matchmaking, so please, do it finally.

i do not understand how before when about 2nd place i gained around 90pts,, (yes I know it fluctuates to an algorithm we do not know) but now when i am 2nd i get like 18pts!!!!! What is that?
There is barely any room to speed through based on actually playing hard to win. At this rate i can just hand my controller to my 6yr old to play and i will go up eventually since it does not require any hard work now as the points are too low... all in the name of offsetting the ridiculously high number of points when you placed 5 and below. it is not encouraging to play MPR now! This needs to be changed to be fair to those who actually come to play and race hard to win so that they can actually go up in ranking.

Google translation:
If you don't reset your MPR between the first and second half of the season, don't reset your ranking either.
Racers with records of MPScore 3000 or higher will not be displayed and cannot be matched as there are no other players with the same high MPScore.
Therefore, it is difficult for racers who have completed the first half of the season to reappear on the rankings.

WHY? Every single ranked match i have played with anxiety has had a lvl 30 in it. This is the worst matchmaking has ever been. FIX YOUR MATCHMAKING. This 100% doesnt entice me to spend in fact its the complete opposite. On top of your outrageous prices the main draw of your game ranked mode isnt fun to play because you keep throwing people in blatantly unwinnable matches. I have not had 1 single fair match with anxiety yet why would that make me want to buy into her atrocious box where i dont even have a good chance of getting anxiety shards.
EDIT Just did another 5 ranked races and every single one had at least 1 lvl 30+ player. Is this really what you want your new mobile players to see is how unbalanced unfair and unfun ranked is at the lower mprs and levels. Stop matchmaking based on mpr the leveling system makes mpr mean absolutely nothing to matchmaking

Stop pairing people using arbee drive with people who arent. Team mode is no fun when both your team mates are using arbee drive and you are the only one keeping with the pack, somehow whenever im paired with arbee drives the opposing team is always 3 people that are actually driving and completely dust my team mates so it ends up being a 3v1 which is not fun. Ranked needs to be fixed so its more fair because right now whether in solo or team the odds are stacked against you and it all boils down to the matchmaking needing work

I'm pretty sure someone has put a suggestion for this somewhere but I still think I should post it. Ranked multiplayer tournaments(either season long or split between parts).
Let us make a team/clan of at least 15 players, each working for the goal of improving the teams/clans rank in the tournament. Here is how I see it being done
is with teams/clans the members can take
part in ranked races bot single and team
with or without another team/clan member
at the the end of the race however many
points they got(where they themselves placed)
is added to the team/clans point total.
The teams/clans with the most points at the
end of each part or the end of the season
get rewarded the best(Maybe the harder to
racer/crew shards couple thousan upgrade
shards). The worst teams/clans get coins
and vanity coins or common racer/crew shards.

Can you make 7 back-ups, and check the end of the season? I put all my racers back to 26 without any rewards. Being downgraded without any vanity coins would be ……

When players have been playing for multiple seasons, the multiplayer coins become useless when the boxes run out of items to buy. Is there a fix coming or some sort of exchange option?

If you're in a 1v1, at least allow the person in 2nd to finish the race or give them a 20 second timer to finish the race. Being within sight of the finish line while watching the other person cross, then not getting to cross that line yourself before the computer takes over is personally demoralizing.

Proof of concept: I purposely entered Team Mode with level 50 Jessie on 0 MPR, and the game saw nothing wrong with that and put me in a race with level 9 characters. Needless to say that I won very easily.
My point: adjust the system to consider both MPR and level somehow, otherwise people like me who don't play Ranked but randomly come with their high-level characters will always win against other poor unfortunate souls.

Dear Gameloft and Disney Speedstorm Team, 
I would like to suggest an improvement for Ranked Multiplayer. It would be very helpful if players' levels were displayed before the match begins. This would help players better understand which levels are suitable for competing and avoid losing points by playing on levels that are too difficult.
Displaying levels would allow everyone to choose matches that are more suited to their skills, improving progression in the game and making the experience more enjoyable. 
Thank you for considering this suggestion!

I had a problem with the ranking in Team Mode. My team came first and I lost points. Hoping the team can fix this little problem.

Ranked is okayish, but there is a small problem with Team mode however, and its point gain and loss. Even though my team won, I was in 5th and lost points. I’m pretty sure who was on the winning team doesn’t lose points. Last season with the point gain and loss was PERFECT. So Gameloft and the team, I hope you fix this anytime.
potent olive
While there are merits to prioritizing individual performance in team mode, such as rewarding the person in first place whether their team wins or loses, I feel the current (and stated unintentional) changes that were made this season have gone too far. Players feel punished for playing team mode. I will list below two specific examples.
It's a 3 v 3. Your teammate has gotten first place. You see your other teammate is in sixth place. The only way your team can win is if you get second or third place. You race as hard as you can and get third place. Your team wins, but at MPR 31 you would only get +5 points. Last season you would get +12. Your team won because you got third place and yet the game doesn't think it's a real win.
It's a 2 v 2. You're playing as Mike. He's not as fast as everybody else and you're in 4th place by a couple of seconds. You throw down a double door hoping your teammate will use it to take the lead. They do and your team wins because of your door. In this scenario, you lose points. -2. You were in last place so the game thinks you deserve to lose points even though you won the match for your team with the door.
Things like this really hurt people's attitudes towards team mode. The game has so many moving parts, with so many specials and circumstances, so punishing you when you help your team win is just wrong. The placements don't always tell the whole story.

Ranked point system still isn't fixed yet after today's update. A win in mpr26 issued only 10 points instead of 16, a second place in Emerald only issued 6
spring flicker
Why were the changes in terms of points gained and lost in Team Mode made?
Or even better - why weren't they even announced?
What you had in terms of Team Mode last season as a whole made the game much better last season. It's a shame that you've decided to nerf the points you gain the higher you go. I struggle to understand why you feel it was the best decision to not make your player base aware of any of it.

Dear Disney Speedstorm Community Team,
I would like to highly request an improvement you can easily make for ranked multiplayer, both solo and Team modes.
And that is the matchmaking. I only play this mode to get coins, shards, vanity coins PLUS have fun. If you take a good look at these images below, I can assure you and to everyone in this Discord server that this is not really a fun and fair match and feels like I’m getting punished.
My point is, please consider BOTH (and I mean it) MPR rank AND the racer level. Maybe do something like displaying the racer levels of each player at the beginning of the match. This will help understand what level is easy for each time you rank up and preventing players from playing in leagues where the level their racer is at would be too difficult.
So take your time to inhale this in, and thank you for considering making this improvement!

plain fox
Dear Gameloft and Disney Speedstorm Team,
I would like to suggest an improvement to the gameplay experience that would benefit both players and the balance of the ranking system.
Waiting Points:
When a player is waiting for long periods of time to find a match, it would be great if they could earn MPR (Matchmaking Progression Rating) points. This way, the waiting time would not be wasted, and players could see tangible progress or earn rewards while waiting. This would also help keep players motivated and reduce frustration during long waits.
Fair Ranking Levels:
I suggest reviewing and adjusting the ranking levels to ensure they are fair and proportionate to player performance. A balanced ranking system improves the gameplay experience and allows players to feel more accomplished and challenged in an appropriate and fair manner.
Recommended Level by Category:
Additionally, it would be very helpful if the game displayed the recommended level for each game category. This would help players choose the categories that best suit their skill level, ensuring a more balanced and satisfying gameplay experience.
I believe these changes can significantly improve the overall player experience and matchmaking system. Thank you.
stoic current
Add MPR skip or increase points in the lower levels when on high winning streaks up to diamond. Help to remove high level racer or good player out of low mpr.

Team mode:
If I get first place out of everyone, I should get max points regardless of my team mates.
I keep coming in first, but am losing half of my points because my team mates are auto driving. This being in champ races right away.
That's 18 points I technically lost, because people aren't playing the game.
Now again, because my teammate disconnected at the start of the race, when I was miles ahead of everyone....

Our racers shouldn't disappear from the Ranked leaderboard at the beginning of the parts of the season. When the season completely changes from Season 8 to 9, that makes more sense than between parts 1 and 2 of the same season.

matchmaking is getting worse by the day something needs to be done. MPR is not a good matchmaking metric we have been telling you this for multiple seasons and yet nothing is done and ranked is allowed to fester and just get worse and worse. Between the extreme greed thats been exhibited by gameloft these past 2 season, matchmaking being more unbalanced than it ever has been, and just a general lack of communication no wonder this game is hemorrhaging players
potent olive
The ranked leaderboard is going to stagnate due to how it was designed. If only ten racers derank, the top players can just push 50 characters to 3000-4000 points and have those racers sit there forever. The #1 player in ranked already has a huge lead (because they never deranked this season due to a glitch) and if the system works like people predict, they may hit S10 with 170,000 points on the leaderboard.
I think while only having ten racers derank is a good thing, I believe that every racer above 2000 points should be reset to 2000 points each season. It is the only way to let other players have a realistic chance to climb to #1.

Hi Disney Speedstorm Team,
I absolutely enjoy Team Mode and Solo Mode in Ranked, but the matchmaking in these four images below 👇 is absloutely ruining it.
Other players had talked about this issue before, even myself, and it was more frequent in Season 8. Again, I want to point it out,** Take everyone’s criticisms and feedback seriously.**
Here is what I suggest you should do:
Match Players according to their experience (Player rank) and the level for the racer they are using (The racer level part was what’s bugging me) instead of MPR. This will make players feel more confident and appreciated then in the state it is in right now.
Let me give you an example of what this format should look like: If you have a level 12 Mickey and you just started playing, like if you were at player rank 25, they should be paired up with players that have the same level, skill, and experience as YOU.
Thank you for taking this into consideration, as this will make ranked even better and less difficult and punishing to players like me and us.
Honestly something needs to be done to fix the matchmaking issue.
Thanks, Pro Wierdchamp

Ranked is a ghost town. I think the nerf on the point system and the streak system only benefits spending players who can keep up the winning streak.

There needs to be some type of restrictions on player level and what rank they can be in... ex: someone waits until they level a character up to 40, then decides they wanna run ranked so they can smoke through the rankings quicker... BUT it's highly unfair to those of us that aren't afraid of a little elbow grease and hard work. I think if they level up to a certain number, they automatically increase what the lowest rank they can play in.
potent olive
I'm sorry if I come across as angry but it really feels like you've ruined ranked. Optics matter a great deal, and from my perspective, it looks like you all nerfed the amount of points people receive in ranked in order to make win streaks more important, and through that, increase spending by encouraging people to pay to keep their streak. It really feels shameful to me that after two seasons of positivity towards ranked and team mode, the game would wipe the smiles off of their customer's faces in order to try to make more money. The devs need to change things back. Winning streaks should be bonus points if anything, not the main avenue in which points are gained. I spent money because it was possible for me to reach Ultimate Champion. But now that you've made it impossible again, I'm not going to keep spending money. This shortsighted move had the opposite effect.
Revert the changes.

Please make a way to disable the win streak saver. I don't care if I lose my win streak. I don't grind 20 levels of MPR on a racer to give it all back in one errant button press. I don't want to get startled when the window pops open and worry if I hit the buttons too fast. Token spending should not be anywhere near the ranked MP play cycle.

At the beginning of season 8, the mpr point system was reworked a bit in order to make ranked "less of a grind."
...From the pit stop...
"A great way to visualize how this makes progress in Ranked Races quicker is that previously, the average number of races required to reach Diamond League was 81. Under the new system, it will only require an average of 48 races."
....
It seems that with the introduction of "win streaks" this is no longer the case. I understand the win streak idea - it's nice to get extra points for winning - but please don't lower the base system of points just to encourage spending.

If you want to add the bonus win streaks ok fine do as you please but do not nerf the ammount of points we get per race absolutely do not touch that.

Coming first in a 3v3 only rewards 2 points. What is that!
Getting first on the losing team now isn't even worth it either. 2 points is nothing.

You need to award the first player on the losing team with enough points to incentivise them to keep racing.

**the current "keep-your-streak" system is articulated as a deceptive pattern (or dark pattern). these types of designs are illegal in the EU and the US. **
here, you’re implementing 6 (SIX) types of these: bait-and-switch, confirmshaming, forced-action, hard-to-cancel, nagging, obstruction, and preselection. having just 2 of these is already really a lot, so you can imagine how troublesome having 6 of these is.
this can get you lawsuits, and you’re also annoying your players.
some solutions to this have already been described by others: a "don’t ask again" option is probably the easiest one to implement. but also overall just ensuring that this is not the primary action that continues the selection will also help, otherwise is just tricks players to mistakenly select "continue" and by mistake spending money.
if you want people to spend money on the game, earn it —create cosmetics, provide additional content like you did with the Vault Pass (not simply paywalling free content like you’re doing with Oogie Boogie)—, don’t trick players into buying things we don’t want.

I think Characters that have reached UC should be in their own lobby against other UCs only.
With the derank, we're stuck against the same high level racers in GC every season because their best characters drop back low enough to compete and crush players trying to climb new characters.
If they had their own lobby after UC is achieved, or derank didn't happen anymore, it would help other racers achieve these accomplishments

And that is the Matchmaking. If you look in this image below👇 , I can assure you and all the players here in this server that this is an unfair and frustrating match for the newest players. (Especially the ones with a level 10 racer.)
TAKE EVERYONE’S CRITICISMS SERIOUSLY. Matchmaking is a serious issue that bothered me A LOT since Season 8. All of us players had been telling you Team to fix this issue and STILL, nothing has been done to fix it.

Give people the opportunity to “skip” mpr levels untill lvl 31, with the half amount of rewards, or with paying tokens. The better the lower levels are sorted out, the fairer the gameplay is. I’m getting some of my racers to lvl 31 in MPR (40+ with very good crew) mostly 4/5 stars and I’m racing against very low levels racers which is unfair. Other part: if I try to race with mid-season racers it’s unable to win at higher levels because I have to face lvl 40 + racers..

This is not what we asked for. We had two primary complaints. One was the pop-up itself and the other was it defaulting to spend tokens. Perhaps you did not understand what we meant by defaulting but what you did here literally changes nothing at all. People who lose a race just want to get into the next race, so they spam A to skip through all of the victory/loss animations and then the rank/derank animation and then it pops up and they're still spamming A, so they spend tokens they didn't want to spend.
THAT IS THE PROBLEM. How could you listen to all of our feedback and come to THIS SOLUTION?
We want the pop-up gone. We want the ability to tell it to stop bothering us. But if the powers that be DEMAND IT, then it needs to default to a neutral square. Where pressing A does nothing. Make people manually move the cursor left or right to decide whether to spend tokens or not. Do not make it so that people who are spamming A to get to the next race accidentally spend tokens.
This needs to be resolved by next season. Prove that you care about your players. Do the right thing.

Keeping the "spend tokens to continue streak" as the default focus, especially after all the feedback, is some seriously shady ethics. If this isn't fixed soon we'll know your priority is skimming tokens off kids who accidentally hit the same button that simply advanced the screen everywhere else in the game. Shame on you guys.

Multiplayer Rework, No More Empty Lobbies
We need a competitive mode in Speedstorm. It's sad to see empty lobbies in high rankings, sad to play the game for no reason, so I show you my idea to solve it.
To start, let's talk, first, about the existing modes in the game.
Extinguish the existing regulated mode and transform the current MPR into regulated mode.
Characters that have been in the game for at least 2 seasons can be unlocked by activating a contract with conditions to unlock the character you selected. (Example: You activate the contract with Vanellope and to unlock Vanellope you need to play 50 online races with any Speedster)
Now it's the mode that most players would like and spend the day playing. The competitive mode! based on the team mode.
Rules:
Any player can create their own team using blue tokens, recruiting is free. (10 players max per team)
You have to be part of a team to play
For a character to be selectable in competitive mode you need to reach MPR31 with that character.
Not regulated (This is a mode for experienced players)
2x2 or 3x3 (hope we can have 4x4 in the future)
Players cannot use the same character as an ally (To promote diversity)
Players cannot use the same character more than 20 times per day. (To avoid broken meta).
The most important: Team ranking by season. At the end of the season, teams win prizes according to their ranking.
Example -
Top 1: 100,000 upgrade coins + Unique Skin based on the current season (Suit, Kart Skin)
Top 2: 50,000 upgrade coins + Unique Skin
Top 3: 25,000 upgrade coins. + Unique Skin
Top 4-10: 10,000 upgrade coins.
Top 11-1000: One thousand upgrade coins.
For the love of God, fill the store with skins, people buys them!

that classical nonsensical matchmaking. this is why higher ranks are empty, all the big levels are on lower ranks.

stop lowering player rank after the season ends let high level players stay on UC and shorten the gap between mpr players to 5 ranking levels instead of 10. ex mpr 25 can race mpr 30 player but cannot race mpr31 racer... As of now the gap is wider 10 lvls I believe
carmine geyser
My suggestion to try and fix ranked mode is having ranked independent from racer. Have a single queue that the player can choose whichever racer they want play with.
Then put for prizes non racer specific shards of each rarity (common, rare and epic shards) which then the player can spend (or convert) in whichever racer they want, plus all the usual upgrade coins, multiplayer coins and tokens.
Then rank position is reset every season as well as the prizes.
Additionally increase the number of leagues or levels between leagues.

I just played 2 games as oogie and the streak remained at 49 and did not go up to 50 and yet i spent my hard earned blue disney tokens.

Ranked definitely needs better balance. I agree with pretty much everyone
humble sand
Do not match less than 4 people on team mode. I select it to play on team, not 1vs1
topaz tartan
UC lobbies needs improvements. Playing in high ranks is just long waits when you have +3000 points (even at 2700 tho). I think could be better if people have +3000 they should find matches with other players on UC no matter how much point they have. Most people at uc just play for fun/grind so i don't see why you need to limit the qs just by points.

Please bring back the max rank you’ve received for your racer. I took these characters to Ultimate Champion and seeing them fall back to Grand Champion and losing the badge is very discouraging.
quick summit
I just noticed that all the racers I worked to get to UC no longer have the UC badge if they were deranked at the end of a season. Why change that? That wasn't the case before this season. Hopefully this is a buh because you would have noted removing an achievement in the patch notes, right?? This was one of the benefits of pushing ranked. Please revert this change.

How is this matchmaking fair? Plz fix your Multiplayer next season!
Honestly something must be done about this and has been an issue since S7.
elder isle
stop putting only 3 racers in a race if there's not enough players use bots it's not fair to lose the counter because we got put up against 2 higher level players

Stop let me keep matching with the same person, like Im lv30 and I keep matching with the same person that is lv50, of course Im gonna keep losing

Again, you call this fair Gameloft? Your matchmaking is terrible and unfair, please stop and fix your broken multiplayer next season.

In 3v3 Team Mode, if the losing team had a member in first place, that first place racer should not lose their win streak. Having teammates that disconnect/fall behind shouldn't void the first placement in a 6 person race.
potent olive
I am again imploring you to wipe the ranked slate clean every season by deranking everybody above 2000 points. The person currently in first place on the leaderboard is going to take every racer to 3000 points. There will be over eighty racers in the game by the end of this season. If only ten racers derank, they will never lose the number one spot. It is mathematically impossible. For the leaderboard to have any validity, everybody above 2000 points needs to be reset to 2000 points, so that every season different players can try to compete for the #1 position. Because players who have a chance will play the game and spend money, but if first place has a 150,000 point lead, they will give up before they even spend a dime.
languid current
You removed the cap for matchmaking, meaning some with 23,000+ MPR point will get regularly matched to someone around 2,000 point (the Ultimate Champion threshold).
This is killing ranked at higher MPR, because 2-3 players with a maxed out meta racer can make it impossible for anyone else to make progress above UC.
As a result I've observed a drastic decline in the variety of players at higher MMR compared to last season. This is really unfortunate and is killing higher MPR ranked for most of us.
This is truly regrettable and is making us desert your game.

It would be nice to see the MPR on the race results screen when in Team mode.

Season 11 is here and things are getting worse when talk about Online Lobbys
We need a competitive mode in Speedstorm. The higher your level, the emptier the lobbies become. We need a mode that makes us play the game all day long. Playing until level 40 to gain resources we don't need is not inviting. It's not fun at all, the game's ranking is useless.
My suggestion for a competitive mode in Speedstorm is as follows
Structure
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: Team rankings by season. At the end of the season, teams win prizes according to their ranking.
Example
Top 1 Team: 100,000 upgrade coins +1000 Blue Tokens + Exclusive Skin based on the current season (Suit or Kart Skin)
Top 2: 50,000 upgrade coins + 500 Blue Tokens + Exclusive Skin
Top 3: 25,000 + upgrade coins + 250 Blue Tokens + Exclusive Skin
Top 4-10: 10,000 upgrade coins.
Top 11-1000: 1,000 upgrade coins.
For the love of God, fill the store with skins, people buy them!

to piggy back on this i also think Gameloft should do a weekly leaderboard that resets weekly and gives out rewards like other mobile games do that rewards the top active players that i have seen, upgrade tokens and blue tokens rewards would be nice on top of other rewards no vanity tokens please. I would also love team ranked to be 4v4.

Bring back the "UC wall".
Level 50 racers that have previously earned UC and are just building their stats should not be matched against racers in Champ trying to rank up.
UC racers need their own matchmaking
nimble helm
1v1 in team mode? Why. Also the level difference is definitely not fair.
blazing quartz
we need a penalty system in place for ranked. here's what i prepose: a timeout of you can't queue for 1 minute plus the normal you losing points, also make it so that timer increases the more times you forfeit a match. if it gets to a point where its lets says a person is quitting 10 ten times in a row then they get a warning of some kind and if they ignore that warning and continue then have a system designed to temporaily remove the account from the leaderboards and if thats still not enough then ban the account.

Level 50s with Level 1’s… this should not even be allowed

At the moment it dont make sense for me to play this game in multiplayer. Im not a top player and I am more losing then winnig at UC Level but I always had fun grinding and bring all my Racer to UC. With this point system theres zero motivation for me playing this game at all. Might be hard in future to find matches, especially when these 3 top player Lvl 50 teams showing up playing for hours. I often had these matches 5 Times in a row last season. I only played for getting the best in my team but why should I play now? For 0 Points, no thank you. I guess for this frustration you brought up the bot races. Not a good step. I really hope you change it again, If not Im done with this game.

Why did you lower point gain in team mode yet again? Why are you keep doing this every single season? Only to face backlash and revert it anyway? Please cease this already...and fix it.

We need Penalty system for disconnects in ranked.. Some players are using disconnects to hurt their own teammates purposefully. (team mode)
The penalty system from marvel rivals incorporated here would be a nice start. Warning first time, 15 minute greyed out play button on the next. Keep ramping from there.
potent olive
Is there any chance it can be made so that people above 2500 points on the leaderboard can only race against Ultimate Champion level racers? It is destroying Grand Champion lobbies and causing unnecessary frustration.

Ranked rewards should extend beyond MPR 40 or the rewards should refresh with each season reset. There is little reason to play any characters beyond your few favorites after getting them to UC. Supercharge raises the bar of how well a racer can perform but most racers at level 40+ already were sufficient to get to UC.
I would say after they reset you convert the larger milestone rewards like the 120 
back to 10 so we can't farm 8700+ in a single season, but at least give us some more reason to keep the higher level MPRs more populated.

Rewards for Felix MPR 10 didn’t bank for me. I know because my upgrade coins are 26, and I don’t have the 300 for completing it. I’m unsure if I even got the other rewards either.
crisp hatch
Thought about this just now. Why don't we combined the search queue for both teammode and solo for the people that don't mind which mode the games puts them in? This would help speed up both modes when it comes to finding games. Just give us and option that can do this for us.
karmic mortar
We need for the Rank 40 players to only play against rank 40. Some of us are trying to get the rewards, while others are solely trying to stay as the "top players" on the leaderboard.

Radical change Grand Champion / Ultimate Champion
Change mpr 38 character shards rewards to mpr 36 to reduce the amount of low level characters in higher mpr.
Give us a aura, new: cosmetics, decos, avatars as example which upgrade with the amounts of rank points you have with specific character in Ultimate Champion. Reset each new season.
Fix: Win streaks should be lost when disconnecting.
In case of disconnection, it should not penalize the team. The number of points should be distributed normally according to position. Example: Finish 1st and your teammate disconnecting shouldn't cause you to lose because normally you would have won.
Change the amount of points gain starting at mpr 36.
1v1 when finishing second you now lose points.
2v2 when outside top 2 you lose points, if you are on the winning side and finish 3rd you gain 0 points, 4th you lose points.
3v3 when outside top 3 you lose points, if you are on the winning side and finish 4th you lose no points, 5th and 6th you lose points.
Reduce the amount of low level characters ruining competitive races. Fix leeching/Griefer in team mode. Give a reason to continue beyond Ultimate Champion with new cosmetic rewards.

Google Translated:
Regarding matching for "players who have formed teams in advance" in ranked matches.
It's true that running with friends you know well is fun.
That said, we've seen many cases where players who have teamed up in advance have a significant advantage over those who queue alone.
Matching will only be done between "players who have formed teams in advance with the same number of players", and if there are no teams with the same number of players, instead of creating an impromptu team by the person who has queued up alone, an error dialog box will be displayed stating "There are no opponents" and matching will not be allowed.
Even if you've teamed up in advance, we don't think there's any problem as of now if you're playing in solo mode.

translation is awful , idea is bad .....mode only need the bot lobby back to compensate for the loses, without it game is unbearable at higher racks 28+

Add level caps based on MPR league.
If a racer is above the cap, their level syncs down to the cap.
If a racer is below the cap, their level remains the same.
(Still incentives spending by giving an edge for being at level cap for tier, but also controls how large the level gap can be creating a more fair and competitive environment)
Proposed caps:
Bronze - 10
Silver - 15
Gold - 20
Platinum - 25
Emerald - 30
Diamond - 35
Champion - 40
Grand Champion - 50/no cap
This would actually line up well with the recommended levels in game.
Races like the screenshot I'm sending have got to stop.
ancient tulip
Suggestion: Platinum Crewmembers.
Ranked races above rank 30 reward 1 unique "Platinum Crew Capsule". Depending on the racer, it will be a platinum version of a (rare) Crewmember from that collection. Instead of increasing values on 3 stats, it will decrease value on 1 stat, but improve 2 stats significantly (ie: -500 Handling. + 450 top speed, +450 Combat).
Platinum Crewmember unlocks at 15 shards, and is different for each racer.
Goal of this change: This will help balance out racers with low top speeds at higher levels. Or likewise, racers with high top speed but low handling. It will breathe new life into older racers and give more variety to player loadouts. It will also incentivize players to play high level ranked races.

"Disney Speedstorm should reduce the number of laps in multiplayer for the tracks in the Incredibles and Tron collections from 2 to 1. They’re too long, and races on those tracks take over 2 minutes, which slows down the pace of the game."

Is there going to be a Player Rank above 555? There should be. It hasn't been changed since it was introduced. I'm approaching that level, I realize there's no real reason to continue climbing in Ranked outside of the obvious stated above.

Remove the solo/team ranked option and instead randomly select between solo/team mode each race. This would help massively with low player counts especially in solo races. It would also solve some of the issues with boosting in team mode, since you can't carry team mates every race.

split the solo and team mode leaderboards.

I again implore the developers to make it so that racers above UC by a wide margin can only race against other UC opponents. We're in an era of supercharges and it's becoming increasingly impossible to get new racers to UC even if you're spending. My Honey Lemon is level 45 and I just lost a race to a 2500 point supercharged Hans. My Honey Lemon is at 1800 points. I do not believe this is good for the game. If people are going to play these powerful racers forever, they should not be able to farm easy wins against people in grand champion.
wheat storm
The biggest complaint with the new event has been teams making people lose their streak when they are in first on a team because they lost. There is an easy solution. Have streak still based on location in the racer not the winning team. Other option: since first of the losers is still getting positive points let them keep their streak.

Is there any way to put the level 50s in their own lobbies? These high level racers have gotten ridiculously commonplace not to mention supercharged characters that it makes online racing kind of a drag. At least make it so there are no points lost for coming in lower positions. Nothing like coming in 5th place over and over with a bunch of level 50s while you’re locked at 20

Ranking should be MPR, then within 5/10/15 levels. If we have to wait two minutes to get actual matchmaking do that so we don't feel we are wasting our time running a match full of 50s.

Put UC in their own lobbies and let other players get up there like you could be late diamond (MPR 30) and get put in a UC lobby my point is a level 50 shouldn't be in lobbies with Bronze-Champion

Dammit Gameloft fix ranked, im getting really tired of racing against people 10 levels or more higher than me, I can't beat them no matter how fast I am, and I know im fast cause most time trial events im in the the top 10%, so im faster than 90% of people, so I shouldn't be getting 5th place out of 8 people, your ranked is so broken, I can't stand going online and then you make these events like "say rhe magic words" event and i dont even wanna do them cause I have to go and get frustrated online and lose points cause your putting against people I can't beat, don't you guys play your own games, we play games to have fun, escape life for a while and when you make them this frustrating, well might as well do something in life, that's less frustrating

Having the player rank stuck at 555 does not warrant people to reup the racers you push back especially when the only "reward" is vanity coins that serve no purpose given most things cost tokens nowadays. I'm sitting at 125000 of them since I literally have nothing left to buy. Also some sort of marker so I know where the ones pushed back are back instead of having to manually check myself. The symbols on the racers would be a good place to do this or to make it easier on yourselves don't push people back

I would like to suggest that the new changes to ranked mode be made to team mode, leaving solo mode without the changes.

Even last season, it's rare for champion to have any under level 47. I would think their endgame could also have a symbol of whether or not their racer is overcharged first or second tier.

I strongly disagree with the Ranked changes. It makes the game far less fun. I can be MPR 25 and with a level 47 character and often get stuck in lobbies where I’m regulated down to a level 30. If I wanted to go that slow, I wouldn’t have leveled up my character!
I started in Season 1, and over the past few years, I’ve played almost 2,000 hours and I’ve put a lot of love and definitely some money into these characters. To have them go so slowly now is just very unfair to the people that support your F2P game. It gives us no reason to fully level a character anymore. Please revert this very un-fun change.
lunar relic
I like the addition of the level caps to the ranks. I think it makes the races much more fair and interesting. This is a great change.
I want to bring attention to the mirror problem, that a mirrored solution would help solve.
The solution of a level cap helps prevent level 50s from destroying races against level 1s, but there is no protection in place to keep low level racers from hurting high rank races.
Earlier today I was in a 2v2 race at MPR 36. My team mate was a level 5 mickey mouse. With my team mate being a level 5 Mickey mouse, It was essentially a 1v2 race, because obviously, a level 5 Mickey Mouse can't help achieve victory, they're simply there to be carried for free up to MPR 40 for the rewards.
There are no minimum levels to help create fair lobbies, and I think there should be.
MPR 40 - [UC Lobbies] - Minimum level 45.
MPR 36+ [GC -> UC lobbies] - Minimum level 40. (You can obtain rank 40, with a level 40, but can't continue)
MPR 31+ [Champ -> GC lobbies] - Minimum level 35 (You can obtain rank 36 with a level 35, but can't continue)
MPR 26+ [Diamond -> Champ] - Minimum level 25 (You can obtain rank 31 with a level 25, but can't continue)
MPR 21+ [Emerald -> Diamond] -Minimum level 20 (You can obtain rank 26 with a level 20, but can't continue)
No minimum level under rank 21, because you can't lose MPR points, and if you're good at the game, you're likely able to win races up to rank 21 with a level 1 anyway. I do it all the time, and so do lots of the veteran members of the community.
Revision 1:
This doesn't stop you from playing the character, it simply prevents you from gaining points, and participating in the next bracket of racers, so you can keep playing and participating at the rank you've earned, and can be a competent team mate.
Revision 2:
I would probably adjust the max caps, too.
I'll use the following format to show ranks and a better minimum and maximum level cap
Rank - min,max
Just to recap, the ranks above this line can be achieved, even if you lose every race, so the minimum level doesn't matter much, and if you're a skilled racer, you can probably win most of your races with a level 1 racer up to this point anyway.
Emerald - 25,35
Diamond - 30,40
Champion - 35,45
Grand Champion - 40,50
Ultimate Champion - 45,50
Revision #3
Minumum level caps are a way to make Team Mode a more fun and fair environment, where Teams aren't poorly impacted by racers with inappropriate levels for their rank.
Minimum level caps should only apply to Team Mode
This will allow for Solo Mode to be used to gain ranks and rewards, as high as your skill can take you, because you're not impacting anyone else's experience.
-You will be subjected to bracket scrutinization based on your racer level when Team Mode is enabled, regardless of your rank.-
dire plover
Ultimate Champion Reward:
There should also be a reward for reaching the highest rank on a single character, something like a free star up of any character or a 15-20 tokens of any character (with yours being 1 of the 5, just in case).
Determining a Race Winner (Teams):
1v1: Obvious
2v2: Whichever team has more players in the top 3 win
3v3: Whichever team has more players in the top 3 win
In 2v2, having the race be:
3v3:
5. Teammate
6. Opponent
Makes no sense. If it's a team race, than whichever team has the majority of their racers in the top 3 makes sense to be the winner of the race. This being the case, my team should not win either the 2v2 or 3v3 because my team's majority have not done better than the opponents team majority.

There were many many different ways to fix ranked. THIS is not it!
warped dome
I like the addition of the level caps to the ranks. I think it makes the races ...
When I need to earn shards for my mid-season character, I have no choice but to play ranked. Having reached Emerald rank, my character isn't even level 20 yet. How am I supposed to manage with the minimum level requirement of 25? I still have to pay, even though I'm already buying the pass?
And I'll add that prohibiting players from continuing to play Ranked after reaching rank 40 with a level 40 character is really not a good idea either. There aren't enough players in ranked, so there's no point restricting access even further.
Edit : I misread, you are suggesting that you can still play with the character but without earning points, but in my opinion it is still a very bad idea, unless the goal is to further disgust freetoplay players.
maiden anvil
I like the addition of the level caps to the ranks. I think it makes the races ...
Agreed that their should be minimum level caps as well as maximum level caps, however that should strictly be for Team Ranked and not Solo Ranked. As mentioned by others some of us are forced to take low level racers (mid-seasons) into the mid-high 20s of MPR to earn enough shards to compete in LTEs. Stripping us of that ability would not be good. However limiting the min cap to Team Ranked would make sense to prevent racers from abusing the system to reach higher ranks. Starting the min cap at MPR 31 (Champion) is reasonable.

Another way to fix teams besides minimum caps to participate would be implementing more aggressive max level caps. If the caps were based on the previous recommended levels for each tier it would be a lot more attainable and do a lot more for balance, especially in teams were level disparities can make an even bigger problem.
Something like this. I included screenshots of the previous recommended levels for reference.

To further explain, we just had a race with a rank 36 Frozone as the highest rank in our race, and a rank 20 Figment. But the level cap was at 40, so I'm assuming it took the level cap of the highest ranked player, not lowest rank character.

I'm not really a fan of the level cap system. I personally felt that nothing was wrong with the system. I think you should be pushed to whatever rank you were at with the level cap and go from there. (For example, if you have a LV 50 racer, you start in Champion, the minimum rank, while also earning all previous rewards upon winning your first race.)

I'm not really a fan of the level cap system. I personally felt that nothing was...
The only thing I felt that they could have done instead is that if a player is 10+ levels in difference compared to the max player of the race, they should guarantee them to not lose mmr. If it's a gap of 5-9, whether they gain or lose depends on their placement. If they get 5th place with 6th place being 7 levels higher, they gain mmr because they performed better than a single player with a slightly higher level gap.

I think overall, the changes to the ranked system haven't actually been probelmatic for me in practice and actually might break the deadlock on those times when you feel like you're getting nowhere.
I am concerned however at the deranking, I understand changing the system, but retroactively punishing people via deranking characters was unreasonable. I feel it gives the player a lack of acocmplishment and a lack of desire to make that same progrsss again, for no reward. IN the future, I suggest not retroactvely applying thesek ind of adjustments, as the previous players were playing as intended and shouldn't feel punished for changes in the system or structure.

Good for trying to add level cap to stop the "max out" situation, but unfortunately, its still a bit too high. should be lv40, lv45, lv50.
Besides, there is other issue that is still unfixed.

Why are we racing with level 35 racers in Emerald which is max 40? You really screwed this new system up. Racing is so boring now. Who wants to race with a level 35, when the racer is level 45?!! You are punishing the wrong people here. This sucks!
Honestly, you are killing the game of you continue down this path!

Also, would stop giving us minus points, I had a race where all 3 of us were super fast and someone slammed me into a wall in the beginning and I never caught up, so you shouldn't be penalizing us if we a bad races, hiw would we ever level are racers up

There are so many things we have to click through after finishing a multiplayer race could there please be another place or another way to pay to repair streaks that minimizes accidental purchases?
On multiple occasions while clicking through all of the race rankings, team profile and character upgrade screens after a race I've accidentally clicked yes to pay 10+ tokens for streak repair without meaning to. It's really frustrating. I feel like there should be an option to repair the streak either on the homepage before you start the next race instead that actually stands out and doesn't look or come right after all the other screens you have to skip past to get to the next race.
Even just an "are you sure?" pop-up or requiring a more purposeful button like L3 on PS5 that's hard to hit by accident would make a difference.
Or remove unnecessary screens so button mashing isn't necessary to get through all of it. We don't really need to see the winning team characters after a match.

Create a new rank above 40 that will punish anyone who finishes at the bottom even if your team wins. Lose points in 1v1s if you finish second. A level 50 prerequisite may be required to participate.

Even in rank 31+ where there is no level cap (at least what is says), my racer is still capped at level 45.
It’s just become a waste of my time playing this game now, especially when you try to decide for me what level my racer should be.
Will only be doing missions from now on to get the most out of my season pass, and the part 2 will be skipped, if this level cap is not removed again. The sooner the better.
I really hope I’m not the only one decided on this. Seems like a decline in season passes and online activity is the only thing Gameloft understand. (The Cinderella event was a good indicator of how much you’ve lost touch)

Teammates should be able to report a teammate who idles. I just lost in teams bc you forced me to play teams and there was a Stitch just sitting at the starting line your other option is kick them and give us compensation for their idleness. I should not be hurt because you cannot manage your players well.

Fix your game. Ban people who are intentionally idle after fifteen seconds and reward points to his teammates.

Honestly hating ranked so much.
It was better in the very beginning of the season when imo, you fixed races.
Like 1st place having access to rush and boost.
1:1 races having fire and hack, ect.
I've stopped playing the game a lot since the skill change and then I had hope it was better despite ranked being regulated...
PLEASE FIX IT SO WE CAN GET ANY SKILLS AT ANY POSITION. I seriously hate it so much we can't get access to literally 1/5 skills if we're in 1st, and 3 or 4/5 skills if in last.
Then you have super charges which honestly killed the game even more for me.
I'd really appreciate if you took them away and compensated players who have them. Because this feature isn't really helping the game outside of making it more p2w, unbalanced, and grindy.
You can't just treat supercharge as a buff, because at the end of the day, mickey mouse and donald despite having super charges, are still becoming as irrelevant as they originally where compared to other super charges.

Hello, i hope youre good and i give you this feedback in name of BRzWolf, and first of all, thanks for Tale Events, they are awsome, but i have some feedback to you guys.
The Leaderboard should be based on Winning/Losing, (for example, Win = 3pts, Lose = -2pts)
This way you we can have a truly Ranked mode. (I wish you guys add Team vs Team Ranked mode where people can host their teams)
The way it works now, people can use a Macro to play the entire day and win the event being AFK.

In Team Ranked, only 3v3 should be allowed. In 2v2, only 1st place dictates which team will win.

cloak needs to get nerfed from 16s to 12s. characters like Quorra and Elizabeth Swann are way too broken because they get cloak and then 2 item boxes later they're cloaked again and you basically cant do anything to stop them for the entirety of the race. By nerfing the duration of cloak, it would make it so people have to be a little more strategic and think when to use their cloak which is better than how cloak is right now. Please take this into consider for the next season so we can have a more balanced game thank you.

Make Ranked 2v2 follow the rule: most finishers in top 3 wins. 1,2 beats 3,4; 1,3 beats 2,4; 2,3 beats 1,4.

Players should be separated by level, not rank. I shouldn't be able to have a level 20-something in rank with level 40s.
They should also be able to level their racer to be able to function in the rank they are in. For example, my level twenty should have gotten the shards to become a level forty through my playing with them and ranking them up.

Proposal: Season Reset Should Respect Per-Racer Rank Floors for Top 10 Racers (UC → 2000 MPR)
TL;DR: Keep leaderboard resets, but when a new season starts, set each of the top 10 reset eligible racers to the floor of the rank they finished with last season (e.g., Ultimate Champion → 2000 MPR). Don’t drop those UC racers to 1600.
The Problem
At season start, only the top 10 racers are reset, and they’re dropped to ~1600 MPR even if they finished Ultimate Champion.
With ~100 racers in the game, re-grinding your main 10 back to their previous rank with no meaningful rewards feels like busywork.
This punishes players who diversify and master multiple racers, and it makes early season play less fun.
The Ask (Simple Rule)
For the 10 racers that get reset, set their MPR to the floor of the rank they ended last season with.
Example: Finished Ultimate Champion → start at 2000 MPR next season.
Likewise, Champions/Grand Champions start at their own rank floors.
Leaderboards still fully reset, so the race to the top remains fresh and competitive.
Why This Helps
Respects player time & mastery on those 10 racers.
Improves day one matchmaking (players start closer to the right MPR band).
Keeps the early season hype without forcing a joyless regrind.
Edge Cases & Safeguards
Use end of season rank per racer (not peak). Ended Champion? Start at Champion floor; ended UC? Start at 2000.
Allow a short calibration (a few matches) that can nudge MPR slightly, but don’t hard-reset to 1600 for UC finishes.
The “top 10” determination (end-of-season highest MPR list) should still respect each racer’s own floor.
If a 1600 Reset Must Stay
Add meaningful regrind rewards per affected racer (badges, cosmetics, shards/tokens).
Create an account wide “Season Mastery” track that rewards restoring each of the top 10 to last season’s rank.
Shorten the climb back to prior rank for racers that achieved it last season.
Bottom line: Reset the leaderboards, yes but for the 10 racers that get reset, please start them at their last season rank floors (e.g., UC at 2000), not 1600. It respects time invested, preserves competitive integrity, and keeps the season start fun instead of a chore.

Can we just remove end of season derank? At this point, the leaderboard doesn't matter. It's already been decided.

Can you give rid of level cap for the ranked?
ebon sentinel
I think we need match making that weighs the racer’s level more heavily than their rank. I keep running into the issue where the rank I’m in tends to have racers at higher levels than their rank character I’m using. And I usually run into this issue while trying to get shards to level up that racer
During a recent MPR event where Maleficent gave the most bonus points (at least of the racers I had), I frequently found myself in last place and just had to hope my lightning disrupted the other team enough for my teammates to win, because there was no way for me to catch up

courtesy of @paper void people who quit/disconnect as soon as the game loads to a race:
Implement a system where the losing team loses no points for losing due to a disconnected teammate (SVP can still gain points)(see also: Splatoon 3 [and maybe 2?])
Implement a system where idlers have 15 seconds to pick up the controller and race prior to countdown before getting disconnected and penalized (see also: Mario Kart Wii)
Implement a system where multiple (hopefully intentional) consecutive disconnects will result in a timeout. Warning before queueing for first and second offense, 10-minute timeout for 3rd, and double the time for each consecutive disconnect afterwards (for example, 20 minutes for fourth disconnect, 40 minutes for fifth, 1 hour, 20 minutes for sixth...)(see also: Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U)
chrome wharf
In my opinion, I feel like there needs to be an adjustment on who people are against depending on their level. My friend and I are constantly against level 45s and we are only level 20s. It makes it impossible to level up characters that we want to play with. In order to get shards you need to do well in races, and the matchmaking makes it impossible to gain those points because we are always against characters that are much stronger and faster. Also I know that it states when you join a new league that your level should be like “level 30 and above” for example but how do we get to that point when we can’t even win races because the matchmaking is so weird?
indigo moat
I absolutely despise the matchmaking in this, how is it fair to pair level 20’s against level 40’s? It’s so unfair how pay to win this mode is to the point it doesn’t even feel worth playing. My friend and I are constantly decimated in matches against people double our levels, and it makes leveling up impossible. At the very least give a more shards in rank up so we can atleast match the level of our rank, thank you ❤️
upper belfry
Suggestion 1:
Perhaps we can allow 1v1 races in Solo mode as well? It seems silly that "Teams" is the only way a 1v1 race occurs (though these aren't ideal anyway)
Suggestion 2:
Autofill level appropriate bots for Solo MPR queue to afford more engaging races. If people want to rank their character up, they will generally do Team mode anyway so you don't even have to worry about point distribution (or you can make it so that it only looks at real players for point distribution)
near marsh
Two things:
1.) points earned vs points lost in both team and regular seem a little too unbalanced. For example, you can gain 11 but lose 18. That’s kind of wild.
2.) The character shards for climbing the ranked should be increased. Especially since that’s the only way to get mid season character shards until they show up in the shop or racer boost two months later.
tawny musk
In a 3-on-3 race, if the losing team has a rider who drops out, the second-losing rider gets the same number of points as the first-losing rider. It's the fairest option.
upper belfry
This may sound crazy but hear me out. I was always irked by team mode in that in a 2v2, if you lose by a fraction of a second but your teammate finishes right behind you and the opposing teams' teammate doesn't even cross the finish line in the allotted time, the opposing team will still win.
Instead, perhaps it should be based on the combined time for all participants to finish?
It would look something like:
This would make it so each team members contribution matters regardless of placement, and would allow the farmers to be kicked from the race without it negatively impacting the outcome of the race for those forced on a team with them.
This would also solve the issue of characters with long range uniques, such as Maleficent, parking on item boxes and skills to mess up their opponent instead of just racing normally as intended.

To compromise to the ongoing players who have raced all the time, give us the chance to prestige, i.e. restart our characters rank up back ot the beginning. you're already limiting our racer level and you could find a way to set so the prestige racers face the prestige racers first if possible. Also, in lieu of shards, you could give us super charge shards for those who have them or give us regular shards. A prestige system would not make us upset for LTEs where you ask us to rank up or to do mpr stuff as much
vapid atlas
This kind of team races happens all the time. Is it too hard to dispatch the racers fairly in the teams instead of putting all the lower levels in the same one ? Another idea could be that the victory streak wouldn't be broken for the first racer, even if the whole team didn't won.

Why Gameloft Should Implement This System
Revitalizes PvP Engagement: Encourages players to participate in competitive content regularly.
Boosts In-Game Purchases: Creates a strong incentive to acquire and level characters to 50.
Supports Meta Evolution: Allows controlled buffs and nerfs to refresh the meta, further motivating investment in new offers.
Final Note
This proposal is more than just feedback—it is a strategic request from someone who both understands Gameloft’s business needs and deeply cares about the success and longevity of Disney Speedstorm.

While playing MP with a level 47 Mulan, I noticed that since the level is reduced for early ranks or because of other players ranks, I was everytime below level 40, which is required for some weekly missions.
Level scaling could have been good for fair races but it's not at all. Low level racers who want to grind shards in MP are still under leveled when reaching higher ranks, and now this limitation with missions.
Also mission requirements can be really high for newest players, level 35 / 40 is out of reach for many, so lower them a bit or remove them would be a good thing.

Dear Gameloft,
we have over 100 racers in this game now I think its time to stop deranking our racers if you want to reset the leaderboards you can do that by resetting mpr back to 2000 if you have UC racers as an example that way people can grind who they want instead of grinding back to UC with no rewards.

I don’t even think I should say much. Matchmaking NEEDS a fix. Instead of matching based off of MPL, it should be based off the CHARACTERS LEVELS.
This would lead to more fairer races. It’s so frustrating to lose to people that’s 10+ levels ahead of you. It makes you almost powerless.
And the fact that you kind of have to pay to level up your characters while making the free way to level super grindy and luck based is just the cherry on top.

I came here for the exact feedback as above. Being matched with 40, 50's, Trying to earn more shards through MPR leveling is the worst part of the gaming experience. I'm trying to get racer shards to level my racer but I can't level my racer because I'm getting stuck with racers that are 20+ levels above me. This doesn't make me want to buy shards but makes me realize how terrible the system is. Please fix this completely unfair system in the game. For once, try to make the game more enjoyable and fun for players instead of trying to milk players for $$$. This is yet another example of how the monitization model of this game is purely anti consumer, designed to make the player spend money

A better idea would be to restrict characters from playing in those matches if their level isn't at the requirements the League requires them to be at.
For example: my lvl 24 Moana (who recently got to Diamond League) shouldn't be allowed to participate in Diamond League races period.
An idea I have would be to revamp the requirements to participate based on overall racer levels, once you hit the level requirements, you automatically get promoted to the next League.
Bronze: Lvl 5-15 (you are stuck as a Rookie for the 1st 4 levels, likewise getting to lvl 5 would only require you to race in Rookie League once)
Silver: Lvl 15-20
Gold: Lvl 20-25
Platinum: Lvl 25-30
Diamond: Lvl 30-35
Champion: Lvl 35-40
Grand Champion: Lvl 40-45
Ultimate Champion: Lvl 50 (will update this once the new level update comes out).
