Kart racing can be fun, but sometimes it’s just unfair when you’re outmatched by a taller opponent or an object you can’t even defend against. Disney Speedstorm aims to give racers a more level playing field with a new mode called “regulated multiplayer.”
In an update via the game’s official blog, developer Gameloft explained exactly how this new mode will work. While it’s similar to regular ranked multiplayer, there are some “very important differences”. All racers in this mode have the same upgrade level, star level and crew are not active.
“These parameters ensure that all racers are on a level playing field and pure racing skill will decide the outcome of the race! One important thing to note is that while crews are disabled for this mode, you can still customize your racer and kart appearances! “
As explained, this means that every race will come down to “pure racing skill”. Ranks, Leagues and Points in this mode have been replaced by Regulated Multiplayer Points – and your positions in the leaderboard determine how many points you earn per race. These points will help you progress through milestones, which in turn grant rewards – such as coins and cosmetics.
As for matchmaking in this mode, it is based solely on your Multiplayer Reg Points – with a “system” made to match players with similar Reg Points.
