Bad news about Animal Crossing New Leaf :(

The Animal Tracks feature is back. What many thought was a game breaking feature that was implemented in City Folk is returning in New Leaf. The feature was suppose to deteriorate grass and create paths where your character walked the most; however, grass deteriorated faster than it grew back causing your town to become a desert. this feature not only affected grass but snow during the wintertime.

Supposedly they fixed the feature in New Leaf, but such a horrible feature which had a huge backlash from the community should never have been brought back.

Full blown desertfication of a town in Animal Crossing City Folk.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Let's just hope they really did fix this feature.

Oh this is just awful to have the grass act as real grass would if it's constantly trampled on. I can see if it was an issue of it deteriorating rapidly like on city folk but if they slowed the process down a bit, then it should be fine.nini200

I think the OP needs to reexamine his definition of game breaking. :roll:

Yeah, it was obviously useless and there was no reason to bring it back. However, if they have fixed it, then it is not that big of a deal.

I never played City Folk but it seems like from the blogs I've been following that grass wear is a lot slower in New Leaf and it grows back a lot more quickly. So it doesn't seem like it'd be that big of a deal.Aquat1cF1sh

How is it "bad news" if they've fixed it?

I never played City Folk but that sounds like a terrible feature that I won't be looking forward to. Hope they fixed it so I won't notice it too much.

Hmm, seems like a dumb feature. 

Hopefully they really fixed it. 

I never, ever had that issue with City Folk.  I didn't even know that was a feature.

Me neither, but I visited some towns that suffered badly from it.

My town was mostly intact because I did not play City Folk that much. :P

I'm not worried about this. With designs being easily available with the QR code scan function, I'm just going to put down tile paths anywhere I walk often. This way, I won't have to look at any grass deterioration.

Guess I never reall thought about it. I thought it was just the design for the ground and always has been there
