    I like the scoring system, as far as Midnight Club, I think I'm pretty good (3 0 fault extremes, 1 fault Inferno II) but the fact people contend to 0 fault Midnight Club is absurd...that's unreal

    Nope. The way they do things is perfect. It's pretty much the only system in which calculation is always the same for each track or tournament, that no matter what your skill level, there is always a way to substantially increase your score. Right now, the Midnight Club is not what you should be focusing on. Focus on something with 1-5 faults and try to 0 fault it. That's what will increase your score. The Midnight Club is pretty much the only thing (outside of skill games) that can substantially separate the top 50 players in the world. Once you have 0 faults on everything else, The Midnight Club is the only thing left to prove yourself on. They don't let you get points on it yet because it just isn't in your skill range yet of you deserving points, according to the system that is in place. You did improve quite a lot, but the system still does not allow you to be rewarded because there is still so much more improvement that is needed for something that is this difficult.

    Hopefully that helps you understand it a little better? I understand your frustration with the whole working super hard on something and then not getting rewarded for it, but you have to understand the the system has to be competitive for all players, regardless of skill level.
    when you put it like that, it makes perfect sense, but is still annoying.

    a short while after that i got it down to 28 faults, which will probably get me about 50 points (OMG), which was only down to a very lucky run on diabolic - at the time, the one fault run was 7 better than my PB, but i've since got the platinum (i've been practicing)

    i will get platinum there eventually (or, knowing my luck, get 6 faults and be too slow)
