I have no problems with the fees it is the issues with the game it self I have a system that exceeds the required min and have never been able to get it running. The mco message boards are full of people who can't! I have been treated bad by EA tech support and they really don't seem to care if you can actually play it or not!!! It is a complete waste of money!

This game is like most. Strong advertisement, sells you the idea that you will get a real game with hours and hours of un-repetetive fun. Hardly. 2 weeks into your 30 days free trial (oh yes...its ($$$) there after to play...no offline play available) you will have seen all there is to see. And if you are lucky, you will see the cheats too. The guys who will offer you what seems like a fair trade only to find out they know alot more about MCO than you ever will, and you give them your trade and get zero in return. Then they change names and you never hear from them again. MCO has General Managers online, but they will not interfere with these types of problems.
To race is to earn money. But the real problem with MCO is that there is only one track which produces more money and more points (to the next level). To race against humans is stupid. You only win at the most $200, and only gain some 20 points. However if you race a sponsored car (not the one you have pointedly been saving money to soup up) at the Bel View track, you can consistently earn $300-$400 and about 80 points. That is the only track that is consistent and it takes about 4 minutes to run it, and it gets older than 3 hour old chewing gum. Whats the future in it? NONE. You just race that one track. If you race against humans, they will quit on you if they are losing. Blah. Same immoral responses we've seen in any other online game, except this one is ONLY online and to play it...you cough up ($$$) dollars every month to endure the pain.

As if you could write software to make everyone happy. MCO doesn't even make some happy. When you log on expect to be called [rude] names or and to have your car stolen and if you race the clock for cash its the same track 5 minutes of time over and (...) over.
AVOID THIS one.

Racing at its Worst

After buying the game you'll be paying ten bucks a month to play it and the learning curve will be long - very long, just the way EA intended. If you want to race, and not spend years earning money to buy parts, in order to be competitive - look elsewhere. The beta-testers may love it - they played for free for months and learned the game but I'd rather have an even playing field when I do my on-line battles and I'll pass on the role playing aspect too.

Beware!

First of all there is nothing in the description of this product that says you are required to pay $9.99 a month to play!! You can't play unless you subscribe & then they say their rates can change at any time!! They also say this is a "low" user fee?? Pretty hefty sum to play a game I bought! My son is pretty disappointed. I'm disappointed, too, with the false advertising. There's a big difference in playing on-line & paying to play online. Unless you are willing to sign up via credit card & fork away $10.00 a month to play this game, find something else!

Don't waste your money

This game was fun at first, but then it got repetitive, boring and dull. The beta testers all have the nice cars, and as a newbie it will take you ages to be able to afford anything decent. Plus it's just like the Need for Speed games, which I have never liked. The initial price of the game is just like any other computer game, but then you have to also pay each month to continue playing! There is no offline single player mode, so you either pay or you don't play. For the initial price it's worth it, but when you add on the monthly fee it's definately not. Needless to say I won't be buying another EA computer game for a LONG while. Don't waste your time and money on this game unless you absolutely love classic cars and don't mind wasting money each month to play a game that is mediocre at best.

Very Disapointed in EA.

I was very excited to get this game. As an avid motorhead and collector car nut, this game held much promise. But I was sorely disapointed to find that after my initial $40 layout for the game , I would be forced to pay $9.99 a month to continue using this game. This fact was not made clear, it appears in miniature writing on the back of the box if you read that far. It says nothing in the instruction book about a monthly payment. I am now in a tight spot as to getting my money back without losing anything. Do not buy this game unless you want to pay them $120 a year for the privilege.

I was disappointed when I received this game. It is no longer available on EA Games and you have to pay to play using a credit card. I feel that this game is outdated.

DONT BUY THIS!!!

This game was an online only game and EA killed it because not enough people wanted to pay 10$ a month to play it. It was an awesome game when it was playable. but it is nothing but a doorstop now.

THIS GAME IS ONLY PLAYABLE ONLINE AND WAS KILLED. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY THIS GAME.

Caution ! ! !

Think before you buy this. There is a monthly fee to play it online. The kicker is there are no offline opponents to race against. So if you can't or don't want to play online your out of luck.
