Oh this is interesting! It's weird how a lot of those features aren't kept from one game to another, like moving parts for example. As for soft physics blocks, I'm not sure how using text would make that happen? What I meant by that was a block that, for example, would "warp under the car's "weight" ".
A lot of those ideas would be interesting to see in TMNF or TM2020, but as you said in your first sentence, it's sadly not something nadeo will do themselves :/ It's "what nadeo want us to do"
