Glitches
I've been playing the game for a week now and I love it. I have managed to find some glitches. For one, I've ran about 120 races and yet I have one horse the computer picks to race over and over and over again. She has raced in over 20 of the 120 races and I still have quite a few horses that have never ran at all. Another thing is when you choose to run a long race of a short course, you will sometimes run back up the extra straight away running path and then back down it and back into the oval. I saved that game and shared it with the community although I have no idea where to access it.
The last glitch I'd like to mention is something people have said in other posts. Whenever you get to the end of a race the horses reaction time is unbelievable. You can press down to go around horses and it won't work. Press it a few more times and it still won't work. Then, after you give up, it'll shoot all the way to the bottom of the screen and you will lose a huge amount of ground. Also getting the the side post no matter how far out you are is almost impossible. It just won't let you! Nothing like running 2x faster than the horse in front of you and you can't get out of the way so you just plow right into it. I hope these issues get fixed. Any other glitches/bugs?

The first issue you are talking about can easily be changed by you. The computer is picking the same set up as it did the last race . When it does that it will tend to use the same group of horses . Each horse is built with certain traits . The computer will look for those same horses to make the race fair. If you keep changing the set up such as age, track surface ,gender of horses and race distence then you will go threw all the community horses in the file in a much more even way. Also as a VIP with all the new horses you get each month the issue will go away on its own . I would also like to say at this time in the next version of the game your champion horse files will be able to race in the community as well
Issue #2 saving your races from the horse racing game to the community . This is working in part . All the races you are saving are being stored in the community and will be showing up once that part of the program is finished. we have over 5000 races waiting to be shared. We are trying to do some cool tricks when sharing and in the process found a few issues. it will be resolved soon (I hope)
Issue #3 is a program setting we know about. When you come off the last turn it can take time for a reaction. Part of this was done because in real racing it would happen for horses that are getting tired . The issue is known and is a glitch . We will get that fixed and the result will be more random for different horses . How the horse will react off the last turn will depend on certain factors (no horse will act the same ).
This horse game is still work in process . We will make this the best horse racing game by far . We know our users and we know what they want to see in a fun action simulation game like our racing game .
It will all come together
Thanks for the solid input . Good luck on the track
That stretch bug is horrible. Stupid horses running right into other horses. My love for this game fades every time this happens and it seem that that is more and more. Cost me sooooooo many wins and just makes the game so fake.
We are dealing with it . This is beta and bugs will happen . We know about the issues and re working to fix them . The game over all is very realistic in a lot of ways . There is so much going on inside the game when you make a move with your horse it requires the computer to react with the other horses . This is very complex code here at work and will take time to get 100% .
