My initial thoughts and discoveries with the patch;
1. Stats - Exactly what we've been asking for, I love them!Some stats are a bit hard to distinguish from as their color code is hard to compare. The "Photos Took" stats must be bugged, I have only taken 7-8 photos, yet my stats tell me I have taken over 800 photos. And last, the stats for each individual track should have the track names underneath their icons\logos.
2. Community Feature - Great stuff, easy to access plus nice to be able to see what people are playing\doing.
3. Speed Lap reset - Since the select button is now mapped to the "Community Feature" you have to press and hold L1 for 2-3 seconds for the Lap to reset and gain a new turbo. However, since there is a slight delay before you get a new turbo the tactics for using the old Boost Select Boost function has lost some of it's function. I believe some of the records that were done pre-2.00patch is now impossible to do any longer. I believe either a records-cleanup or wipe is the only fair option. Or atleast have some way of distinguishing between which method was used to aquire the score\record.
4. Barrell Rolls - Seems to be easier to do now. More testing is required.
5. Game Lobby - Great changes to the system. Easier to see which races are in progress and which races are open. I experienced a crash when browsing to the bottom of the lobby but apart from that everything looks dandy fine.
So far so good, Studio Liverpool seems to be doing us all a huge favour in delivering all the stuff we have been wishing\requesting forI'll update the post with more stuff in the next 2 days
