These new tournaments are a neat new implementation, however, before even getting my first rewards from them, I'm done with them. They're totally pointless.
Pros:
-competition favors skill over persistence, since there is little time to compete.
-rewards
Cons:
-xp is horrible motivation. A player can get a couple thousand xp in minutes if they really wanted it. At least up the prize by 10x
-no money!?
-there should be two tournament modes. One classic mode, with classic all time leaderboards, and one random one like we just got. Why can't we have the best of both worlds?
-this new tournament mode desperately needs real rewards. Xp is so useless on its current form. How about you add special rider gear and bike parts that only those who place in certain tiers in these competitions can have the right to purchase.
-new stuff works on many levels. Players would need to
A. Have won the right to buy it
B. be at the right level to buy it
C. Have enough money to buy it
So if tournaments offered lots of money, xp, and new gear and stuff, it might be somewhat worthwhile. Also, give us our old standard tourneys.
Edit: I'm also noticing the game doesn't restrict you from selecting bikes that can't possibly finish the extreme tournaments (Baggie). Seems obvious enough, but a fail safe should've been implimented. Also, with this in mind, does this mean we won't get any bike specific tournaments?
Edit2: nevermind. You select your bike at the start of each track now, instead of just one for all.
