    i've been seeing officials wear the same uniform since i started following Monster Jam in 2004-5 (Wow that's almost 13 years), this a big bummer for me.

    Wearing the same shirt for 13 years? Sounds like fun. 
    I like the new uniforms. They still look professional and it's a nice update. But I'm really not sure how someone else's clothing is ruining your experience....

    Got it going on Heavy Hitter's Chassis. Now, I'm gonna paint the body chrome and the wheels as well. Does anyone want to hep me clone this thing? I have school starting back up in a few days.

    Putting aside the fact that you don't have permission to use the truck (You may want to contact the person whose name is on the side) You've got 2 chassis on that truck, and that's no good.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but after watching Minneapolis on FS1, The freestyle clock now runs 2 minutes of regulation with no bonus time.

    I think they started doing that in St Louis and I'm glad they did. I think it will fix some of the complaints about judging and if someone won just because they had a better bonus time.

    Track "design" these days has made Monster Jam unwatchable

    in Monster Trucks

    Posted

    Personally, I think it is taking them a while to figure it out, but they are definitely improving on their track designs.
    Now in response to the 2 awful complaints you have

    a. It's actually becoming less of a circus with the new tours and new points system. Monster Jam is slowly turning into what people wanted, tours with legitimate points series. Everyone always seems to complain, calling it a circus, but are you really going to go to a show, see a really cool move and be like, "Nope, f u ck that, I've seem them elephants do them crazy stunts in that there tent with the circus and the crazy lookin dudes"
    It's entertainment, just watch the show and enjoy.
     b. It really used to be just Dennis and Tom that would end the show with some huge moments, but now it seems as if there really isn't a lot separating the skill of the drivers. If all the obstacles fall a part by the end of the show, it is a major disadvantage if there is a high score on the board. It also sucks for the fans because if there is a big obstacle at the beginning of the show, but it's destroyed by the end, then you may miss out on some big moves that could have happened if the obstacle was made out of solid dirt and not flimsy cars.

    I understand that you're probably just one of the many people that want to look cool trying to bash Monster Jam, being probably the 50th post about this topic, but it's actually not that bad.

    The ROR physics are better.

    You may need to get your eyes checked.

    Although the monster trucks are still under developments, there is no comparison when it comes to BeamNG physics and ROR physics meaning there is a lot of improvement that can be made for the trucks.

    ROR is easier to build for

    BeamNG is easier for both trucks and tracks, especially since the majority of things that have already been done in BeamNG are not even possible in Rigs of Rods.

    The physics for the trucks in BeamNG is still pretty rough and it doesn't seem like anybody plans on working on that.

    The physics are fine. The trucks don't tumble down the length of the stadium after rolling over at 20 mph. The handling could use some work, but it's getting there.

    I just really dislike it when people s h i t on something because they haven't explored enough of it to truly understand.
