  1. Depends, what kind of car are you trying to drive? If it is RWD (rear wheel drive) then, due to the horrid differential code, if you put your foot to the floor, all you are gonna do is gigantic donuts (even with TC).

    yes donuts is like all i do with the couple of trophy trucks ive downloaded but they say 4x4 so idk, i guess i just suck.
  2. I see PC's point, but there is a reason Tom has won 10 world titles. My idea is 24 trucks for world finals racing and 24 for freestyle. Avenger and Brutus only freestyle, leaving 2 spots open for drivers better at racing like John Seasock (not sure about spelling) who would only race.

  3. i think you missed a few of my points there

    By rolling backwards, yeah, backflips. it's neat, but good christ back off of it. it's a gimmick and paltry at best, and shouldn't come even close to castrating entire swathes of the vegas tracks like they do now.

    and the third point, you're right, the problem is, they're obligated by FELD to be "kid appropriate" or, sin of all sin, to not "misrepresent the brand". this is wrong and i doubt that's even them typing in the same way you'd doubt hitler if you're jewish.

    as for the points system, oggy had it figured out a while back, here's what i copypasted from his little thought book:

    ooProposed Monster Jam Points Layout

    -------------------------------------

    Drivers can partake in as many events as they want.

    Their final points total is taken by averaging out their best 50% of their finishes.

    Ex.) Randy Brown runs 28 events in a season, the average of his 14 best events counts as his points total.

    WORLD FINALS TRUCK LINEUP

    -Top 16 drivers are eligible

    -IF two or more drivers in the top 16 are driving the same truck, the truck goes to the driver highest in the points standings. The remaining drivers are then taken out of the top 16, and the next eligible truck/driver combo is brought into the top 16.

    Ex.) Neil Elliott is #1, Meents is #2, Hartsock is #16, and Charles Benns is #17. Meents WOULD NOT make the world finals, Hartsock would move up to 15th, and Benns would now be eligible for the WF.

    as for the fifth point, people are like that, it's inevitible. Check the steam forums if you don't believe me.

    lastly, i was takling about the games, where you race through malls, gigantic outdoor settings, and christ forbid, gigantic skiball machines. (seriously. what the hell.)

    they do a few shows in gigantic outdoor places. like Naples Florida. that track is amazing

    that could work, but Tom Meents has won 10 championships so why not have the top 20 racers and the top 20 freestyler's? Jim and Chris wouldn't get to race but still freestyle. Zimmer wouldn't freestyle just race, Tom and Dennis would do both. FOR THE LAST TIME, THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT DRIVERS GETTING HURT, LOOK AT THIS VIDEO:
    JIM SAID IT PERFECTLY
  4. Here is a video of where I think Monster Jam is headed, I still think there will be racing but a bigger emphasis will be put on a big move or new trick.

    I'm still undecided on whether I like the idea or not. Do you think this is the future? If so do you support it, or are you against it?
