It was a combination of things. ....issues, pc release, broken tc where you had to sign out then back in. If you weren't in the forums you probably thought custom tracks werent being done any more

Sorry, Jar, but you are incorrect. Well, not about the issues with TC being unavailable... the download counts on tracks are just wrong. If you look at the ratings compared to the downloads then you will see that the ratio has gone from about 10 to 1 to closer to 3 to 1. I don't buy it for a second.

Your biggest issues are with the feeds in Track Central, and they aren't broken, they just don't work exactly how you want them to work.

Well if the numbers are wrong then hopefully the issue is fixed Shifty

Also I'm not incorrect totally. There are not the same amount of people downloading tracks today there are as last year, and its silly to think it would keep up as everyone moves to new games always.

I'm not alone in being severely disappointed in the feeds. I've given many a suggestions and I can only hope that Redlynx listen to the fans and make a new more awesome Evo. TC has huge potential and its truly a shame RL never did anything to improve it.

More feeds (more than 12, each difficulty, each tag, more tags, separate mini games/skill games)
Bigger feeds (Show more than 50, like 1,000+ or ALL)
Limited uploads (per day or per week)
Better search function (search by track name, search without having to know the capitalization of a GT which makes no sense because there can't be Jarr3tt88 and jarr3tT88 or something)
Non broken sorting (creator THE MOST important doesn't work since day 1)
Better rating system
More featured track builders feeds
Allow hiding of tracks/creators (local) would allow to show more quality tracks in the feeds


All seem reasonable a request to me, and hopefully in the game game.

You can't sit there and say these three things didn't make some builders leave Evo. It sure hindered my building.

Here are also my suggestions I made a few months:

Force to have the players to vote the track before leaving, and also fix the bug when you finished the track, then restart, and then leave the track without finishing again, and then you can't rate the track.
Multi-download tracks and multi-delete tracks just like on THD.
Make a track share limit per week. 2/3 # per week would be good. This would stop these unstoppable spammers to release tracks daily.
Track commenting on TC. This would help giving feedback to people who doesn't know the RL forums.
Advanced rating options, like:
Trials: Driving line, atmosphere, fun, medal times etc.
Skill game: Playability, fun, instruction, medal times, theme etc.
Super cross: Driving Line, Fun, playable for local MP etc.

^^The best thing that would help for the tracks rated correctly.

Forcing people to rate is a horrible idea. I don't have to elaborate.
