    trials teams for future games

    okay so i've been the leader of both the #1 team on ps4 and xb1 in the past and i came to realize how backward the team system is. first off the team leaderboard doesn't make sense because it basically just regurgitates the single player leaderboard. there's no competitive team play in the game. i like the idea of teams but i don't think it was done correctly.

    basically i would like to see trials add teams that can have somewhere between 2-5 players on the team. the way you would rank your team is by playing tournaments (groups of single player levels) that launch once a week similar to the current tournament system in fusion. so the sum of all the players scores on the tournaments would give you weekly points and the team with the most weekly points at any moment would be ranked #1.

    the problem with the current team system is that it's basically not skill oriented but single player rank oriented. if you're good at single player you don't have to put in any extra work to rank your team. another problem is the fact that if you're in the top 100 you really have no incentive to compete against other teams. it seems like the top players either don't care about teams or they just join one of the top 5 teams and never think about it again.

    i want to hear what people think about this and any other ways to improve the team system in the game because i think it's a really cool addition to trials.

    I just look at teams the same way i looked at "clan tags" in modern warfare. Never really considered them having the potential to be more than that.

    I just want team vs team multiplayer to be an official mode. 2v2s, and 4v4s against other random teams would be perfect

    That would make MP so much more fun and get people playing it again.

    Actually in french nobody care about the teams because we think it's useless ( in the actual form ). Personally I think it's a good idea but like end of assembly said it's just an addition of the single player leaderbord and because of that I just joined many team like trialsFR/silent rider/Superheroes/UK'r/speedrun squad/personal best, because I have a lot of points in the single player leaderboard. So I think for the next trials we need to improve the rank systeme of the team with competition on the multiplayer to obtain some points for the team leaderboard.

    I agree with everything you are saying except your last paragraph. You say teams are not skill oriented but instead single player orientated which I disagree with because in my opinion single player is the hardest thing to get a good rank for and it takes a numerous amount of skill. However i do agree with you that there could be something added to it because as it stands right now teams are pretty pointless. I do not have any ideas that i deem as good but one mediocre idea that comes to mind is maybe a team leaderboard that counts MP wins as well? Not really sure.

    I think they should make a team have a maximum of only 4 players (and maybe a couple substitutes).
    Then introduce a 4v4 multiplayer mode and then have 'team mp' leaderboards or something.
    Maybe even set up tournaments for teams but I doubt it would be able to work trying to get all members on at the same time.
