[Uma Musume] New Scenario Stats 'Nerf': 1600 Speed Is Actually Only 1250?

Recently, Uma Musume released a new training scenario, raising the speed cap from 1200 to 1600. Combined with a powerful new gacha banner, many players pulled hard to stay competitive. However, power-users quickly discovered that the 1600 speed was heavily 'nerfed' (a term used here to describe values that are artificially lowered), with actual performance on the track barely matching a 1250 speed rating.

Furthermore, the training efficiency of the new scenario is shockingly low, arguably worse than the anniversary scenario. Players feel 'backstabbed' (betrayed by the devs), as the cost of training to 1600 provides less benefit than simple low-tier skills. After the outcry, the developers acknowledged the issue and promised to adjust the nerfing severity and improve stat gains.

In the comments, players expressed deep frustration, calling out the developer for a 'bait-and-switch' gacha tactic. Users compared it to farming for high-end gear in other games only to find the stat increases are negligible. The developer has announced plans to adjust the stats on September 2nd, but whether this will restore player trust remains to be seen.
