Yes I definitely agree with the points about BRs in the above two posts. I would have preferred to see some energy management in TT aswell, like Pure had, as this would have made you be very careful about where you did your BRs, and most of the race would have been "straight" driving, but still requiring the odd Ninja moment, rather than the doing BRs the whole way. A Sebenco Climb Phantom TT could require about 25-30 Barrel Rolls, I think! Crazy. Also with limited BRs you have to fly cleanly, save your shield energy and not hit the walls, which is rewarding the player for driving well.

Maybe Speed Lap could have been kept for the BR-fests and TT kept tactical, but that`s only my preference. Online and SR are tactical with BRs, which is great and with BR combos seemingly gone aswell I think HD does hit a decent enough compromise for me.
