    think I am going crazy

    Why...dear god why do people rate crappy maps with a good rating? It's evo and fusion...I just do not understand why 6 second ninja cp's and random maps with no thought and so on get so many dl's and high ratings...why do people like crap? That isn't to say that some good maps don't do well but it makes you not want to create when you know you have made a good map...better than half the mess on TC and it gets...nothing. Yep, I am losing my mind.

    I've definitely played some highly rated tracks and thought "that wasn't very good". I give them a thumbs down every time, as so many of them seem overrated.

    What tracks have you made Stinky? I'll check them out.

    It is a good question, i'll watch some PS4 streams and ask why they do that

    Redlynx clearly need to improve the rating system.

    In all honesty I don't think its even the quality of the rating system, its the quality of the people rating them. Lots of new people who don't understand or appreciate what goes into a great track vs a quickie. A bit of education via the social media channels could help a little with this to fast-track the learning curve of the new audience, but even then there'll always be fools who downrate/uprate for silly reasons.

    The quality of the rating system is not the only reason of course but if the rating system change it could help!
    If we were able to put 0 to 5* as Trials Evo. (or 0 to 10* why not), i think it could be always better than just 0* or 5* (/like - don't like).
    They could also add a rating system like that :
    0* to 10* for the driving line
    0* to 10* for the decoration
    etc...
    With the main * at 5*.

    But maybe the (new) players will take this as too complex or too serious for this type of game, who know ...
