    Where do i stand?

    I have been playing Trials since Evo and was wondering how I can now rate my skill level due to the multi platform Fusion? Evo was easy as everyone was on the same lb but now I just dont know.
    What I do know is that my lb positions seem way out of my skill level on some tracks, is this due to the migration of players to other consoles or have a lot of the top riders given up?
    It would be great if all of the lb's were combined in a year and put up on the forum just to see exactly where we stand, this would really give me and i'm sure lots of the players motivation to push on. Could this be a possibility RL?

    I can put a top 5 run on pc within a few tries. So yeah idk. I'm sure the separation of the game and its users to different consoles has an effect.

    I was going to say you can log into the trials portal to get a combined leaderboard..... but then it gave me a weird threat detected message when I tried to log into uplay through there.... One of the devs can probably confirm how/if it works....

    @DE+Ozy - thanks guys, I don't see it myself, not with some of the guys on my fl lol.
    I guess so Swag, its a shame though.
    That's interesting Puddin, hopefully an employee will be able to confirm.
    Is anyone else curious about this? I guess I want to know as sp is the main draw for me.

    The Trials portal is really the only way to see where you stand among others. Havent seen it myself but if it is what people say it is, then that's the way score-wise.

    If you want to keep on improving by competing with the strongest base of riders, id say stick to 360. X1 only has like 5-10 riders that can really dominate throughout and PC has the widest skill gap with 1 person dominating most of the lbs. I think eventually most of the 360 riders will migrate to X1 because essentially, theyre already comfortable with the controllers. Just that Fusion alone wont justify buying a next-gen but i can see the X1 player base growing when the blockbuster games come out in the fall along with a console price drop.

    Also, customs makes great practice. You wont get that much better playin the vanilla tracks over and over. Play various of difficulties with new obstacles, dabble with ninjas once in a while, become more comfortable with the bike over time and you'll have enough confident to have a go at pretty much anything. Anyway, just my 2c.

    @Ret - thanks for your input mate. Yeah I will stick with the 360 and if I do get a next gen then it will be the xbone but it wont be in the near future.
    I feel that I have improved but at the same time everyone has improved since Evo.
    As you said on another thread about liking easy tracks to speedrun, these tracks are normally where I practice my speedruns as every fraction of a second counts and I get my biggest satisfaction if I do get a high lb position on easy tracks.
    Maybe when mp comes out I should find people to race who are a lot better than me (there are loads lol) so it will force me to get better to avoid the shame of dnf's lol
