You'll not have any trouble finding a full room of players, if that's what you mean. 95% percent of the time you'll be in a full or near full game.

I think you can find a board on this website with people who play MK 7 as you do. If that's not good enough, you can search for dedicated sites/forums where you can talk about and race in MK7.

It's still pretty active. I'd stay away from the forums for that game though. You get bashed like crazy if you have an opinion or complaint about anything.

I have a question I heard from someone that MK7 doesn't have an offline vs mode. Like where you just pick a track and race bots for some quick fun.... please say it isn't so? MK DS had it.....

Does anyone know why you're almost always put in matches where the race has already begun and you're forced to watch 3 laps of people racing before you can play? I wish the game would find a match where the previous race is almost done, at least, opposed to having to watch it from the start.

I've played MK7 regularly since its launch, and I've never had any problems finding a match.

The only way to race with CPUs in MK7 is by playing Grand Prix, but if you go into 'Time Trials' you can select any track you want and you have the option to race against a staff ghost, your own personal ghost, seven ghosts of real players that are near your current record, or no ghosts at all.

From what I can tell, when the game searches for a match it only pays attention to what your current VR is and whether there are any available spaces in a room. Sometimes you may get lucky and it'll put you into a match that's just ending or while the players are selecting tracks.
