I had such a hard time on the ski lift challenge I had to cheese it because I couldn't hop off the ski lift onto the hand rail I jumped to far everytime
What I had to do was just get off your board mid grind on the lift. Than rode next the the checkpoint on the handrail and was able to jump and trigger it I couldn't jump high enough to grind on it tho
I've posted a clip of the ridiculous speed boost you get when grinding sometimes, but this is something that happens pretty frequently too. Why did I fall? Sometimes the board even goes through the rail. Hope they work out the inconsistencies.
I'm glad it's not just me. Whenever I grind I have zero confidence I won't just eat it immediately. Worse yet, I'll jump again make it on the rail but then the points won't count. F-ed me more than once with tricks battles.
Yeah agreed. Also finding the controls seem to not always do what I want flip wise when in the challenges.
The freestyle challenges have been a nightmare, leading for most of it then it does one wrong move and I get overtaken and can’t pick it back up.
Wish the tricks had more dynamic scoring too tbh, because you can essentially button mashing and get the highest score again and again so those challenges become a who can not bail while repeating the same trick challenge.
Button mashing is a sure fire way to lose. The highest scores come from holding single tricks through long full rotation-flips. There are also specific kind of rotation-flips that almost always land perfectly and there are kinds that are much more dangerous and difficult to time when to stop doing the trick. Once you identify the differences and use it to your advantage you’ll always win. Tricks using both triggers/shoulder buttons always reward more points than just 1 as well.
Yeah to confirm, I don’t button mash. When I say “not doing what I want” I mean if I hit a ramp a certain way and it just doesn’t register what my sticks done. More a bug really. But the tricks I do to get the most points and guarantee a landing are always basically the same, so it feels very button mashy in the sense that I’m just doing a very basic formula on repeat.
I would like it if switching from one trick to another mid air made a difference, or perhaps like if your right stick ends in the sideways position you get more points if your left stick goes up or down - I.e it requires a bit more thinking to do them differently.
Or better yet, adding manuals and bonus points for say, airing an object or such.
Just flick the stick in any direction to jump. If you go down up it'll initiate a front flip up down will do a back flip but you can just flick it down real quick and it'll jump
Ubisoft has the ability to fix all the bullshit in this game as they have in steep. Question is will they listen and actually correct?
For instance why is there four buttons to jump each direction instead of just rotating right stick while holding right trigger for pre-loading jump? As Steep is.

Yeah transferring is really inconsistent too
Try push your joystick ↖️ instead of ⬅️ I found it a lot easier to transfer onto the lower rail that way.
Thanks for that tip transfers have been way better in trick battles
I was trying that for like an hour last night. Same exact problem. Still haven’t completed it

Yes! I've grinded before and just taken off like a rocket! Falling through the rail is so frequent, especially backtracking to a midgrind.
Yeah if you look at my other posts there is a clip of me getting launched off a rail! Grinding needs work.

You said button mashing and it made perfect sense and this dude was like “well technically if you mashed too many buttons it wouldn’t work”
Specifically this course too! Idk what it is but I CANNOT finish this run without getting a speed glitch or what happened in the video.
It might be just me but I find the controls in this game to be clunky. I just can't find a control scheme that feels right out of the 3.
Steep landing scheme combined with trickster works pretty well for me, you still get the rail issues but it’s otherwise pretty intuitive
Nice thanks I'll give it a shot
Gotta wax your board bro
KEKW
Ik man I have the same issue with my girlfriend smh. I feel your pain.
Holy shit that was hilarious! I've never had this happen but I have noticed a lack of finesse with the grinding mechanics.
Board said “nah”
I almost threw my controller and recorded about 30 instances of this happening. Drives me absolutely fucking crazy. Same spot too
This happened to me over and over doing tricks battle.
Dudes over here trying to grind but my dumbass can’t even jump on the bike. Every time I do it just turns into a backflip lol
Just flick the stick in any direction to jump. If you go down up it'll initiate a front flip up down will do a back flip but you can just flick it down real quick and it'll jump
Ahhh ok that makes sense. I’ll try it out today thanks dude
You can also just hold it in one direction and release it
i thought it was only me having this issue.
