Only two chapters open which only took a little bit to blow through and just normal limited events which only take a few minutes.
There's no offline content, wtf? The game is fun and I would like to keep going and progressing but this game won't let me.

Yeah... I only started playing recently with the free weekend Xbox had and at the last moment I decided to buy the deluxe edition just so the 50 ranks I got in the Toy Story season didn't go to waste. I was... surprised, to say the least, when I discovered that seasons are time-gated like that.
I've got Armored Core 5 in 25 days. Starfield in 30 days. Baldur's Gate 3 in 35 days. Phantom Liberty in around 50 days.
I wanted something to play now. I thought I could grind through the Lilo & Stitch season through August to help me pass the time. But I was wrong. Way wrong. I had no reason to believe that seasons were timegated like that.
Yup.
This blows.
Did you read up before you paid for the game, im being honest here its not changed since day 1 of ea. so now been 4 months or so.
everything i hated in early days has not changed, the thing i wanted changed sorta has and its ranked de sync and rubber banding however now facing the p2w boxes.
i could of told you two three weeks ago this ain’t a game you can just grind through you have to come back every day to get items and coins, then every week for 8 races or so in season mode.
also yeah i would not worry, that list of games would just kill this game fully.
I feel the opposite, what's available is fun but I'm glad for once I don't feel like I have to play a live service game everyday. I can take a few days off if I want and not miss anything.
And that's exactly why Gameloft designed it that way.
Last thing the average player needs is t have the F2P gae they play "feel like a job"
Average player for this game, and in general, isn't spending hours on end just to keep up with others or progress in the game.
Local play against ai, and private tracks for 1v1 With a friend or a group of you race a track. All of these have all racers unlocked for you.
then ofc reg mode for just casual online this mode is really nothing great- you get all same level and just play races.
and the ranked mode not great really is not but still good for races and gaining items.
so yes there is lots to do even after season mode and events, but not if you a sp only type of person but then what do you expect its a online game
The fact that you don't get even a small amount of coins after each race is just weird. Every kart racer does that, but in Speedstorm you can only earn stuff whenever the devs want you to. It's just wall after wall after wall
They don't even include great customisation like in games such as Crash Team Racing. I could play for hours in that game trying to unlock new skins, kart parts and paint jobs.
The fact that Gameloft is sitting on a treasure trove of character costumes, but instead only has recolors that maybe look an iconic costume if you look really closely is all i needed to know for the effort they're putting in. That and the boring kart designs.
I joined season 2 with 10 days left so had no idea the whole pass (10 sets of levels in toy story) didn't unlock in full
Then realised in this season
Stupid idea
There is offline content just switch your wifo off then go on songleplayer mode you cam create your own matches against ai at different speeds and different tracks. Even on mobile. I thought people already knew this.
That's not content.
I'm talking about story/chapters, not playing exhibition matches against the a.i.
I'm trying to level up the pass and unlock racer shards, not creating my own match.
I've been saying this since the first day I bought the game and I get downvoted lol But it's absolutely the truth. There's only ranked MP and even that is a joke. I'll have to play for hours and hours and hours of ranked now to just get back to where I was before without getting anything for it. It's a big bummer
I mean, i play ow2 all season and get jack shit even ending in top 500 the next season i have to get it back or i lose my reward of title, so im used to just play for fun, but annoyed that climbing ranks is a pain but im used to it now- also reg is crap but still a good mode to mess about on and race.
the only thing i wanted badly was bp xp in mp mode, sadly its not a thing like after every race you get xp like every other game, this is just race for fun and thats it.
