    Thoughts on a new TC menu

    I think the menus in TC are overdue for a makeover. With a lot of complaining on the forums about TC, it's rating system and how to fix them, maybe an easy fix would be changing the menus. I feel that most of the 12 spots on the menu are wasted. Skill Games and Supercross I feel take a back seat to the number of regular Trials tracks that are released.. In terms of quality and quantity. Not saying I don't like playing them but having two menus for each of them is a waste.

    My vision is:
    Top row -Leave as is
    Middle row -Easy/Beginner- -Medium- -Hard- -Extreme(Ninja)-
    Bottom row -Highest Rated 48h- -Skill Games- -Supercross- -Wrenchers-

    Basically group the tracks based on difficulty. So the ninjas can just search through the extremes, the people with visual, easier tracks don't get mad at ninjas for getting top spots with few votes, and overall just make the chaotic mess of TC a little easier to navigate.

    The Wrenchers menu is just a random idea to fill up the empty slot. All the wrench holders are listed in there and then people can access all their tracks..This is just a quick brainstorm and don't know how it would work out....

    So how would you redo the menus?

    There's more than 12 slots. No need to remove the SX and skill game feeds in any way. But adding some more in would/could be very useful. I'd like to see an extreme trials feed and a highest rated this week for trials, SX and Skill games. Thats 3 extra feeds basically (as highest rated could be reassigned).

    Yes, but I want one for each category. Not one overall feed.

    I like the idea of separate feeds for highest rated of the week. Having to lump everything in one feed does seem to get a little cramped. I feel if you are going to go for an extreme feed you might as well categorize the other tracks as well.

    You could also clean it up by having submenus.

    For example have a trials icon and from there it brings you to top rated all time and new.

    So I would leave the top row alone then have: Trials. Supercross. Skill Games. Wrenches.

    Once you are in the submenus you should be able to sort the tracks by difficulty.

    Great idea but that might need a complete overhaul of the menus. Maybe have to change the look and format of it all. Maybe that's what it needs though..
