Hello. I have some suggestions to make Track Central go from being pretty good to amazing. Please hear me out.

#1. Fix the initial loading screen. When people load Track Central for the first time, they see this:


This screen lasts for a while. Instead of seeing this, players should see some sort of loading animation so they have some sort of indication that the game hasn't frozen.

#2: When Track Central does load, players see this:


The problem is that half of the entire screen is taken up by a single track. I understand RedLynx wants to show players tracks as soon as they enter Track Central, but this is not ideal. Another problem is that you see the same track appear in multiple feeds on the first screen. More wasted space. The good news is that instead of coming here and complaining, I have some solutions! Please continue reading.

Players should be brought to a single feed when they enter Track Central. Players should be able to press the left bumper to bring up the feed menu, where they can choose any of the built-in feeds such as Trending/ Trending Trials Tracks/ etc. They could also choose a customer feed that they've created. Players should also be able to set one of the feeds as their "Default" feed so that as soon as they enter Track Central, that's the feed they see. The current Track Central is quite cumbersome to navigate in my opinion, and potentially shows players tracks that they may have no interest in playing right away. If someone goes in to look for skill games or ninja tracks, they have to scroll down to the specific feed or enable certain search filters. My solution would eliminate this problem because players would immediately see the feed they are most interested in.

Another thing I would change is the layout for the default feed. Instead of seeing one track take up the entire screen, players would see the top 6 tracks/ skill games on the left hand side of the screen. The selected item would still have a large dedicated portion of the screen to show information (no wasted space though). Here is a rough mock-up I created to illustrate what I mean:


When players enter specific search criteria to find tracks, the search results would look the same as they do now, showing the player as many results as possible on one screen:


RedLynx, if you implement these suggestions, I believe it would improve the overall user experience of Track Central by approximately 112% (it's science)!
