All is working fine with 1.5 but I have these comments on presentation:
If I start with a set number of credits, why bother showing me cars that I can't initially afford? For all practical purposes is the Honda S2000 is the starter car. My humble suggestion: Do as FH and offer a free pick between 3 starter cars.
As for the licenses, the presentation feels rough too. There should be an immediate onscreen indication of what score you got (instead of eyeballing the top left corner), a ghost and replay option, and a restart button instead of a continue prompt, which returns you quite abruptly to the starting line. In this case, see how GT does them.
I point this out because ACE does have the potential to put the GT/FM/FH franchises on notice and really challenge them on their turf (console). And it can be as easy or hardcore as you want, but presentation goes a long way. After all they are implementing console things: economy, car customization, licenses, curated events, jazzy music and a free roaming map!
