I tried for some hours ATS for now , i kinda like it.
I will start by the graphics , the trucks are greatly done and very beautiful but the sceneries less beautiful , but only a tiny difference comparing to the DLC Scandinavia of ETS2.
Now the driving , i feel there is a lot difference between US and European trucks , i feel it the sensation of heavier trucks while taking speed , and also due to long nose of those trucks , a bit hard to see where is the stop line and also no front mirror , maybe that's good point to make the game challenging than ETS2.
The traffic light system confuses for now , need some time to get to with comparing to European system
, where the stop lane is close to traffic lights.
I saw some AI vehicles turn on the right side while still the traffic light was on red , can i too without getting fined?
After some deliveries completed , i love the new parking system , that brings some challenges and due to long trailers , i struggled most of the times to park the trailer in the right spot until the system allows to detach it and it happened to be late!
I feel the leveling a bit slower than ETS2 at the start is it just me? , it will need lots of times to play to get hands on our own first truck , since the price is 170000$ about( i think
) , that's a good thing due to less content it can keep us busy until SCS gives us more states and others contents.
As for negative things in the game , i would say , is the contents and small playground and the weigh stations hope in the future will be more useful and not just a tollgate where you don't pay , and i thought we had to make a stop on every station but it's looks like it's not mandatory since i tried not stopping to one and i didn't get any fine. Is there no tollgate on US?.
As others said , SCS must do something to give us time to change our speed when going to 65 miles to 30 in an second and avoid us lose 1000$ cause we were speeding since in the game there are cops watching for speeding and not cameras as it is in ETS2 and it's hurts a lot at low level and due to the behaviour of AI(crashing into our cargo) , also getting fined for about 1000$ , am running low in money for now , that's all i have to say for now , am pleased by the game.
I won't comment on interstate etc....., cause i really don't know about the road system of USA
