They really need to fix the p2p hosting issue somehow. It really sucks to be matched to a full lobby only to be immediately dropped into an easy mode single race with mindless bots because the host decided to quit or got disconnected.
Like, I've been enjoying my online experience with CTR:NF; I've gotten lots of full lobbies with very stable matches, and have racked up, like, 65 hours of play in just a few weeks (For comparison my MK8Deluxe playtime is like 70+ hours after a year +, and I love that game). However, the mode's obviously got some glaring issues and I hope Beenox resolves them before it damages the game's longevity.
MK8 is also honestly a far more fun game to watch than CTR.
I wholeheartedly disagree on that.
CTR's high-speed, triple boost mechanic combined with its huge hops, crazy hang time, airborne turning, and death defying shortcuts makes It way more exciting to watch imo. MK is often very passive and, err, "flat" (for the lack of a better term) even at it's highest speeds.
