Can we finally agree that this is worst than DriveClub?
DriveClub is more baffling given the missing features after so much delay, but as someone who owned both since near their respective launches, MCC has felt like a vastly worse situation.
Even with online functionality down, DC's promised single-player stuff was well-built, stable, and fun (and IMO the game plays best in time-trial anyway). Now, with weather and challenges, it fairly smoothly provides just about everything I want from it.
I got MCC because it provided access to console online MP for CE and Halo 2. In that capacity it was practically unplayable at launch, and even today it's a load of crap. Other modes are things I either don't care about or have elsewhere.. And for the stuff I have elsewhere, porting issues and bugs mean I'd mostly rather play the originals.

DriveClub has provided value to me since the beginning, and it's grown into a phenomenal game that will just keep getting better. MCC was worthless to me at launch, and it still isn't demonstrating much value.
