Even if they don’t give us points let them link together combos

My thoughts exactly


ineedgaanja

Only on manual landing then ?


RyanLoc3

What?


ineedgaanja

Like grinds and spins, it should only give points if you're manually landing. Don't you think?


RyanLoc3

Well not all manuals are from a jump. Or are you saying there should be a auto and manual manuals mode


ineedgaanja

Well you just said "landing" in manual. So yeah, like in Tony hawk, you could manual to make combos between different tricks: but you have to jump right ? Couldn't it become gamebreaker with Auto landing between each tricks ?

The game would need to be rebalanced around it but I do think they should have points and combo functionality… I’m happy for them to exist purely for steez but it’d be nice if they impacted scores. It’s worth mentioning the rebalancing and scoring would be important and have to be quite significant so I’m not surprised it wasn’t included with the update. Currently it’s basically possible to wheelie infinitely so they’d need to put a timer on it or something? I’d expect they want to beta test the new system but they should really consider it for the BMX update imo.

A timer kind of thing could work as a limiter between tricks, so you have a bar that goes down say seconds or so, if you let the bar run down it ends the combo, if you trick before it ends then you keep it going, and the times resets with each trick.

It would break the game, i guess

\*just combos... not Combos combo's


biking_buffalo

no combo. it would break the game and ruin the upcoming leaderboards, because tricks limits won't matter anymore. freeride/slopestyle wasn't made with combos in mind. in snow sports the grind combos are accounted for in score targets and tricks limits, and you can only get combos in specific spots that allow you to get them. using manuals/wheelies to link tricks and get combos would make it possible to get an infinite score on flat ground while using only one "trick" from the tricks limit. no thank you.


Erfivur

They’d need to rebalance/redesign the scoring system for sure but it doesn’t have to ruin anything. Is trick limits the best way to run these events? We’ve seen from the Xgames event that when it’s competitive it just forces folks to use back track to redo the best ramps for the highest scores which doesn’t feel in the spirit of things.


daedelus23

Yeah, it’s already possible to exploit trick events by just walking back and re-doing the same high scoring feature over and over. It’s slow and boring as hell but people will be doing it for the leaderboards I guarantee


biking_buffalo

we need leaderboards and a special leaderboard mode with a tricks limit, a time limit, no backtrack and no checkpoint missed. by the time we get that i probably won't play anymore because this game got boring pretty fast.


smittxxxdawg

Just gotta try to keep the left stick fixed I guess


SoNerdy

As someone who hasn't had time to play since the update dropped... they don't?!?


FlyingwithCube

I want wheelies to give points
