    Suggestions for improvements to the game...

    As the title says this thread is for suggesting any needs or improvements. Here are a few that I felt were needed.

    #1. Medals displayed at the right popup screen should also show different medals for different leaderboards.
    The donkey leaderboard for example doesn't show the medal that I have gotten through the donkey. This becomes very tough when going for donkey plats. Every time i need to go to the trackmap to verify and check with my score on the leaderboard whether i have a plat in that track or not.

    #2. A race for medal button.
    Now what this button does is that it adds the medal blip on the top left corner similar to what we had in the third week rodeo event in which we had to ride the stallion to get medals. This is mainly because most of the time im offline and instead of using a ghost this would be helpful. This button is not helpful for the legends of this game though .

    #3. An Upload scores button in the settings.
    This is the main problem Im facing. Most of my offline scores have not been updated to the leaderboard (including my balance avenue plat run). Instead of the game itself doing all this a manual option that checks my score and updates it would be helpful.

    Although the 2nd and 3rd is not much of a need to the game the first one surely is. I think that it was mentioned in another thread also.

    Sorry for grammatical errors if any.

    I hope I have made my point.

    We've been around this topic a few times before. Been accumulating my list for a while, so I'll post my list from last time, with some updates....

    - Gift-all (a no-brainer! But now... not sure I care much since its been lobotomized so badly)

    - In-game scrollable LIST of tracks that shows basic info (tier, Medal, rank, fault+time, etc). In other words.. not a map. Be able to swap list to show any LB (Normal, Donkey, etc). Be able to filter/sort to specfic parms (only show Gold or less, sort by rank, sort by time versus rank/opponent, etc). PvP tracks and tracks I have not earned yet are also in this list, so you know what you are missing. Be able to start track from the list (if you own it, of course...) so PvP tracks become accessible. Be able to email this list.

    - Create a bunch of multi-track tournaments. Like EVO did it; ex you pick the tournament name from a list, and you must then run its assigned 3-4 tracks in a row, and sum their faults/times. Tournament get their own leaderboard and medals... RL can literally add as many of these over time as you want. Its a no-brainer for them since it adds in-game challenge using pre-existing tracks.

    - Separate Stallion and AgentBike LBs (its more fun/replayable to test my skill over all tracks with a single bike, like Donkey is done)

    - A way to see top time and opponent times in showdowns instead of plus or minus numbers

    - Be able to show ghost replays without having to play it; preferably showing button touches as well.

    - Be able to report showdown hackers and hacked track runs in-game. That should allow the game to record all relevant data right then.

    - Give us a way to request to have all our global scores be recalculated for accuracy (ie not report others... just report ourselves)

    - A set of Contest maps; a special map where you cant lean....one where gas is always pushed ... one where you have to jump far ... of how high can you jump... or how high can you climb before dying, etc.

    - Add in-game Achievements of all types; easy and very, very hard. Some based on stats.. some can be a contest in themselves. Some examples... Holding a wheelie for 10/20/30 secs (any track)... completing track X without using "lean"... crossed finish line 25K times... gathered 1K/5K/10K/25K gems .... made Legends 10 times... played 10K showdowns... won 5K showdowns... Collected all "buzzard nests" (and then go put some buzzard nests in 5 tracks in hard-to-get places).... etc. Frankly, this is only limited by imagination.

    - Keep a record of our Bunker status... either through achievements or in some other way. By not recording history, RL makes Seasons meaningless.

    - Be able to choose an opponent (ie play your friend) in the Bunker.

    - Gigatrack for Frontier!

    - Put a timer on ANBA opponent selection (ie if you have not run it in XX days, allow new selection)

    - The ultimate: track editor and Track Central.

    - Almost forgot: Be more creative with Bunker Seasons. Changing showdown time and season duration, etc is not really adding much variety. Need to be trying to make the same old tracks seem fresh and new again while still adding challenge. Like some peoples suggestions of adding trick requirements (flips, inverted times, etc). Or hey, maybe they reverse the track and we all race right-to-left instead of left-to-right. or maybe overpower our bikes by 50%... Or add the donkey/stallion to showdowns for everyone (just in showdowns). Or reduce/increase gravity, or add places where if you touch it you are frozen for .25secs (you must avoid those spots). Stuff that just makes gameplay.... Different. Not merely quicker/longer.

    Whoa so many interesting things here. especially the scrollable list its the best of all. and of course creativity in bunker seasons.

    Hope these are implemented.

    today i found myself counting (or trying to count) missing Donkey blueprint pieces

    so, i guess a little useful thing that shouldn't be too hard to implement would be a XX out of YY blueprint pieces counter

    also a counter for doughnuts and a clickable icon with level info (aka click on the star and get a XX out of YY points counter to know more exactly how far/close we are from leveling up)

    yesh, i'm a bit of an OCD

    I'd love to see a countdown when you come out of Pause. Right now you pause the game for one reason or another, and when you press "Continue" it drops you right back into the same moment, a 3...2...1... would give you time to get your fingers back on the buttons.

    # a counter among other construction pieces showing how many donuts pieces we have to use
    # a "gift-all" button
    # less chips cost for bonus tracks in the bunker and/or a way for winning/buying more chips

    Nah, that's cheap because then people would abuse the hell out of it to get through tough parts of tracks. Stop to refresh your brain and then start again? Nah.

    digging up this thread, i've had another thought on a feature i'd like to see.

    on the track map, a "Random" button. So when you don't have any missions/events going on and you're searching around the map for a track to play but can't make up your mind. "Random" selects a random track to start up.

    Take it one step further and add a "Random" button on the bike selection screen as well.
