Would love to try it but...
Since the BMW update, I cannot connect to the internet at all, so the game is all but useless again. On the Play Store there's plenty of similar comments, so seems I not the only one.

Disappointing Update and Challenge
Unbelievably disappointing update they've released here. Let's break this down:
1) Another pay-to-win legendary bike, this time ruining the challenge of racing tier 3 tracks, now all the previous records people spent hours and days grinding will be gone within such a short time of the release- this is why players like Carterclem7 left the game.
2) Unless legs 2, 3 and 4 give more blueprints, the only way to actually build the bike without paying is by ending rank 1 in one of the legs. This means that a maximum of 4 people on Android and 4 on iOS will be able to ride it without forking out quite a significant sum for a bike in a mobile game.
3) Points 1 and 2 aside, I've really enjoyed the rally challenges before this one. They've presented every player with the same bike, same upgrades and said "Ride as fast as you can." The challenges inspired competition and, being based on fuel, meant players could grind and grind to try to get the top times. The introduction of the rally tickets completely removes this. Now, the one that pays to get the most tickets wins, since everyone else will only get a few attempts at the tracks. It removes the whole aspect of grinding times down to improve, which, last time I checked, was the entire point of Trials. Fair competition has once again been replaced by whoever pays the most wins.
All in all, I'm thoroughly disappointed with the way this game has gone, and I'm not the only member of the community who feels this way. To remedy this slightly, I'd suggest removing the rally tickets and reimbursing anyone who paid gems for them, that way we can at least enjoy the new bike while the rally challenge is around.
Message to RL/Ubi / New Donkey sound?
@RL/Ubi:
New Sound:
Always enjoyed the "deep burbly" sound when riding not full gas with donkey. Now it's almost gone and all sounds higher. The squeaky rider sound can be deactivated, but i can't get the donkey sound back. The sound design was ok. Three sounds were brilliant:
- Donkey Sound
- Magnet link sound when activated out of "resources sack" -still there-
- Doughnut win sound from wheel -don't know if still there-
Think about this sound changes and make a option for old/new.
BMW Thing:
Stop treating us like ******bags and selling X's for U's. It's y'r decision to develop the game for profit maximation. Y'r decision to ignore the hard work of some long time players. Y'r decision to make stupid new bikes to make fresh players pay.
So take the critic like men, and don't obscure y'r motivation behind obvious lies.
