@Kim, Because I have never played trials 2.

@Euan, what's the point of trying in MP when I have number 1s on half the tracks? MP is a joke. Probably why I've only played 30 games too everyone else's 200.

NEVER PLAYED TRIALS 2. LOL! And you wanna call urself a pro ? Its like saying you're skilled in call of d00ty modern warfare 3. Its just not working out bro.

Come on, challenge me, tell me a track and i BEAT UR ***

K, Gigatrack. Have fun.

MP means nothing.

So being good at MP doesn't mean you're good at MP?

Being good at MP is being good at MP.

Being better at MP than someone else doesn't mean you're a better trials rider than someone else when you are a lower ranked global rank than them.

Yeah, so I repeat; how does that mean nothing?

Wow, what's with all the ego battles? Well, that being said let's continue with the original topic. I just discovered that imbedding your controller board in your skull gives you control using only coherent thought. I call it, mind-troll-er.

I should say: It means nothing as far as determining if someone is a better player or not.

Which was implied in Euan's post about beating Chicago AJ in 1v1.

Chicago AJ is still a better player though because he's 110K GB points ahead.

I've beaten Shockwave before in multiplayer. But Shockwave is still a better player than me.

My theory is that intermittent multiplayer games are simply who is most consistent at that specific point in time.
(Not who is most consistent overall)

However, consistency can be determined via multiplayer after gathering a large sample of times set in multiplayer games.

So why didn't you say so in the first place?
I've seen you say "MP means nothing.", so many times..
Had nothing to do with euans posts then.

Being good at MP means you're good at MP. Means you're a consistent player.
Most likely good at tournaments too. It's as simple as that.
It means something.

I played trials 2 a lot so on pc so I was used to directional keys. But then HD came and I switched to analogue stick and triggers which took some getting used to, but now I can't go back. I do use A and X for easier tracks sometimes.

I like to slam the controller into my face. May not work for everyone.

I like tourneys!

well that certainly kicked it all off ??

I have tried using the A stick and find that i can help on some obsticles and hinder me on others, the thing i dont get and which no-body has seem to actually answer yet is why is there a difference, when u go into the control options, lean forward and back can be used by either, it doesnt say that they control different, so why do people insist that the A stick is better?? Reasons people, not just " im top of the leaderboard, thats why " ure prob there cos all u do is play this game, never getting any sleep, eating leftovers, pissin ure pants, ignoreing the world outside
