Is it just me, or is Elite more playable now? Before, I had to struggle just to get 5th or 4th place, but now I'm actually getting 1st place! It definately is MUCH more enjoyable now, and is more balanced for veteran players. I've been playing since 1996, and all but gave up on the hair pulling Elite difficulty before, as you could only win almost by luck. Now granted, its still no walk in the park, but it is now easier to move up through the positions from 8th to 1st then it was before.

I actually blew through the first 3 HD tracks on Phantom Elite with almost no issues in Racebox. Now I'm playing through Fury on all Elite and will go back into HD Campaign and finish those all as well.

Anybody else notice the difference? I'm a happy pilot now!

Edit: FYI, I'm using the new Qirex Fury craft.
