    Feedback on Competitive events and tournaments

    Ill be honest, I was all for this game upon release. I was in the alpha forums and put in a lot of feedback and what could be added and almost nothing was added even after some positive feedback from other users. The entire layout of the game comes across as very confusing. I know of a few friends that bought the game because I talked them into it and after a few weeks it was never played again. And the first thing they said was it became to repetitive and boring, and secondly, the layout was confusing. I tried getting into the tournaments and the steep tour stuff but I just did not understand it. I qualified and got back on later and just did not know what was next or when something will come up again. Therefore I missed the opportunity to advance. There should be a reminder upon accessing the game, where I am ranked in the tournament and whats next for me to do. I liked the idea of tournaments, but the menu layout and what if offers just does not interest me or attract my attention when I get on the game. I think a new revamp to the menu is definitely needed in the near future.

    Oh and what I saw from the last time I actually got on the game, was that there is nothing that shows a player is better from others, that he or she has won a tournament or made it this far and what not. So, does competing in the tournaments really offer anything special that makes you really want to get on a play in the tournaments and stand out form the rest?

    You should use the 'Live' tab, it gives your status there as far as being qualified. Mine shows 0/10 because I failed to qualify round 2.
    Every challenge you can hover over, press action list and itll tell you what you rank publicly, then displays the top 3, also it'll show how you rank among your friend list. Maybe I don't understand your comment, but all that info should be available. The latest SWT they put out much more info than last time on their website, forum and reddit.

    Here are my thoughts about the Competitive events, Tournaments and rewards improvements:

    Competitive events and Tournaments: I think that whenever there is an event, new challenges made by the community or by Ubisoft should be used. I would really like to see the whole leaderboard of the players who are competing with each other in the game of those challenges, not just the top 3 then my rank.
    I'd like also to see that on the competitive events cause for example on the Nixon Challenge, I only could see the 1st of the day, 1st of the week and 1st of all times, it would be cool to know what's your rank when you're competing, cause I was the 9th with 0'100 second difference. Everything else is just awesome.

    Rewards improvements: The rewards are cool, but they could be better. And it would be better if in Tournaments were 3 winners, not only 1, just like in the Olympics.


    One more thing I'd like to suggest about the music in the game: if there could be like some binds to skip to the next song in the in game music, would be awesome!!

    Leaderboard improvement

    Hello,


    this is my opinion on how the leaderboards should be improved to let more people find their place in the competition :


    daily / weekly / all-time should have a top 50 or 100 where you could check your position or anybody else's position by scrolling up/down with your D-pad, so this feature was already in the game, so it's not a big deal to bring it back.

    Obviously the best of each category will remain the only visible without scrolling up/down.


    So guys upvote this post because this is the easiest and the fairest way to satisfy everybody !

    Peace out

    obZen D F here:
    Another thing I wanted to point out is that there needs to be some regulation on the World Tour where players who own STEEP on all platforms shouldn't be able to compete on all platforms. Players like Mstifye (no offence to you mister!) and others basically have 6! attempts for the Finals, 2 attempts for each platform. This is wholly unfair to us players who only have 2 attempts tops. The chances of winning the World Tour for these players is 200% higher than us. I understand that it is practically impossible to regulate such things, but Mstifye and others could just jump right over from PC to Xbox or PS4 if they failed their finals on PC. In real life tournaments you don't see a Skier failing his finals and then having 4 attempts more than his fellow Skiers. I hope you take this into account.

    Competitive Events, Tournaments and Reward Improvements Feedback

    Competitive Events

    I like the current competition system, where you can easily play challenges with friends or do different ones. I think they need to have a system where you can actually start a turn by turn competition on all of the challenges that exist. For example, a race would have both starting at exactly the same time, and you can see what position you're in (1st, 2nd) and split times to see how far behind you are. If its a jump or freestyle event, you start it and one person goes at a time while the other is in a new spectator view.

    Another way to go about it would be like Grand Theft Auto V's jobs and competitions. You browse for any category (big air, race, etc.) and then start the competition in a separate lobby. The winner then has a victory animation, and everyone votes on the next location or event.

    To tie in with reward improvements, there should be rewards for each place finished, and you could also add in the gambling from GTA V, where you bet money on yourself or others for the event.

    Competitive events

    While i greatly enjoy the MMO approach of steep in which all players are seen in real time, the community challenges feature was a flop. There really should be real time challenge lobbies - trick competitions, races, etc.


    While I have this opportunity to be heard, let me also add that the freestyle controls are cumbersome and need some reworking. It's far from intuitive to control flips, spins, and grabs with two different sticks at the same time. This leads to unpredictable results when attempting different tricks. Controls are a huge factor in the gaming experience.

    Also steep could relate to the ski community more by adding more brands, clothing that represents trends (such as baggy t shirts and suspenders, etc), and better music.
    All it would take to understand this would be to watch a few edits on newschoolers.com or to go up to mt hood for a few days...
