They can be a bit annoying sometimes so perhaps one day I'll turn them off. On tracks I haven't played much it's quicker than watching a replay, as they match you against a better time. You can see time saves while you ride.

Of course not, I'm a grafter when it comes to Trials; it rarely comes naturally and most of my best times take a couple of hours to achieve, none of this 'gave it a quick 15 mins' malarkey you lot talk about. I need to get more comfortable and less precise before I can improve.voices wrote:Hopefully this doesn't come across as condescending
This is my biggest downfall. I race my ghost constantly (or a specific target ghost), which means I'll see the start of the track 100x more than I'll see the final stretch because I hit restart as soon as I fall behind. It's a fool's errand. I've only recently started consulting replays from the off, because for all other games I had a dumb 'organic run' shit going on, where I'd play a track for ages, get to the point where I was comfortable with what I'd worked out, then check replays. It's fun, I've always enjoyed doing it that way, but it's also a massive waste of time.voices wrote:Don't race your ghost, and if you get behind rely on executing your plan rather than trying to catch up by taking riskier strategies. Ultimately you'll end up with a smooth line for the whole track, and you won't end up massively overshooting a ramp at the end of your run because you hadn't got that far enough times to have it honed.

Is it me or are the replays and leaderboards less user friendly than they were? It's been a while, but I'm sure you could slow down (or maybe even rewind?) replays on Evo. I suppose taking away the ability to slow them down could've been intentional. And unless I'm missing something the list is more cumbersome too - it has global, region, show top and show me, but if you want to scroll from, say 720th to 450th to race that ghost, you have to just hold up until you get there. It's minor in the scheme of things, but it's weird that these things can get worse as a series continues. Unless I'm missing something, which is quite likely. Also, if you watch a replay for 450th after scrolling there it seems to spit you back out to the map afterwards, rather than where you were on the leaderboards page, so you have to scroll all the way back to it to select the option to race against it.Dark Soldier wrote:I've always preferred replays as you can study inputs. Makes me learn it a lot quicker. All in all I find them hideous to look like and very off-putting.

It's good value at those prices, but depends if you want to commit to a pretty awful grind. Plus the UI is absolutely dog shite compared to previous versions.
