    2 different tournaments, yet 4/5 tracks are the same. I had hope that these tournaments would be good but it just seems like it's another lazy feature. Get your **** together RedLynx, you're going from the best company to the worst with this game.

    Yup, those are pretty close, aren't they? Tournaments are currently done by a few people, so there are times when some of the tournaments are very close, but thanks for letting us know. We'll be sure to change up the track listing in one of those during the next tournaments update.

    @Muzzzaa: You're not fair Shifty improved tournaments with the feedback quite quickly in the last weeks. He's doing a great job! So, try to have a more motivating ton when you have a request, it will help us to make it happen sooner No hate needed.

    I want to +1 Eno's post, the tournaments have improved so much and the fact RL didn't wait until a patch to update it all was amazing. i enjoy them a lot more now because I do around 4-5 tournaments a day, sometimes more, which is a good amount. Only problems left are ones that have already been said: (the fact there is a limit on how many tournaments are in the closed tournaments causing the undefined bug which I've already reported) , the fact that there needs to be a best of all time leaderboards which may even be cross platform, the crashing problems on some tournaments, the fact some tournaments are very close to being the same, and then obviously there shouldn't be 2 tournaments 4/5 tracks the same. As soon as all that is sorted then I think the tournaments feature will be at its best and most will be happy (oh and global score should be given, would be amazing!)

    Tournaments are good but we need way more variety, if there are really 30 different tournaments like shifty said then i dont see why
    we seem to be keep getting the same ones. Its like they are on a loop again, like with nightlife/amazing ride. There are a few more now but still a loop. Im happy with the shorter time limits, now all we need is moar tourneys.

    I agree and think we all agree.

    Shifty the shorter time limits are much appreciated and step in the right direction.
    Now all we need is extreme and hard tracks on the list at all times.

    Right now the balance is weighed heavily towards beginner/easy.

    There are a couple of medium/hard, but the extremes are near non existent.

    A tournament with 2 hards and 2 extremes would be perfect. Or 1 hard and 3 extremes. Or 3 hards and 1 extreme.
    Even though NightLife was on every night for two weeks, it was by far my favorite so far.

    Thanks shifty for continually staying on top of this and tweaking it until we find the right formula.

    Amazing Ride has been changed (it is still live in it's previous version on a few platforms) and no longer has 80% of the same tracks as Through The Skies. It is a bit more difficult, but has a good balance.

    Edit: It looks like the change went live before the end of the tournament, which wasn't intended, but the new track list is the one that will be staying. Some people have times from the old list than what is currently possible (unless you are a robot).

    it would be nice to have some more tournament variantions and i see its coming slowly. i remeber the first time i played the "burning proof" tournament... it was just inferno 4 im happy about the changes you guys have done so far.

    some more suggestions about tournaments (i already posted this on another thread, dont know if someone have seen this)

    • more tournaments available at once. 3 are not enough, at least 4 should be good (easy, medium, hard, extreme)
    • tournaments with custom tracks from the FusionCommunity account (selected good customs)
    • 1 big special tournament available for a full month (remember the unavailable monthly challenge feed on tc?) ultimate endurance 2.0 is a good idea.
    • more reward variations, not only xp. (decals for the bike? tattoos for the rider?) currently i got level 236 and there is no reason to get any more xp. ranking up after level 150 is useless.
    • pressing the back / select button should restart the whole tournament. it makes no sense to just restart the current track, because its a waste of faults and time.
    • you should get the rewards automatically, so that you not have to check the closed tournaments page.

    It is crazy how many times this will have to be said! No use case exists for a rider wanting to restart any track but the first within a tournament! I can understand if the back/select/whatever button is global and coded in such a way that it can have only 1 function, if so just add a "Restart Tournament" option in the start menu. Really is simple stuff.

    I like how the back button just restarts the track. Makes for quicker practice. I do think a restart tournament option would be nice though. However, you guys need to realize how much extra work a simple option like that would take. It would have to take you out of the current track, figure out the tournament you're in, then figure out what the first track was, then start you there, and reset your data...and people would expect it to do that in a five second loading screen. They'd have to reconfigure the way all that is connected.

    Im all for it in the future, but I don't think it's gonna happen at this point. Too much to restructure.
