>Can you see why the game designers, who worked hard on their new core concept, wouldn't want that?Sure, but that isn't my problem they did a bad job of showing of their hard work. The worst part of the intermissions is that, with a few exceptions, they don't even showoff the more interesting areas around tracks that you otherwise only interact with in free roam. Not only do I have a worse experience playing online, but the hate they are getting over it will ensure they won't bother making an open world again, which I do enjoy in free roam. The intermission courses simply aren't well designed for racing.
There is an obvious problem if you have to put up barriers to try and make people play the intermission courses. If simply providing an option for people to play the way they want trivializes the game, then maybe the whole game design just doesn't work. At least for me, I'm just not going to play matchmaking when it is 90% time waster, so the end result is still the same where I don't play the new experience except in Free roam where the new experience actually stands out.
