And for those wondering, I started Trackmania in 2008 ish! Had several breaks but pushed hard ever since tm2020 came out!
isn't that when u were born 💀
@@feds7597 💀💀
I WAS BORN IN 2008!
Ive installed the game 2 days ago and bumped into ur channel, thanks for this amazing content🙂
@@feds7597 every baby in 2008 are pros at trackmania
I’m so young you’ve played 3 years longer than I’ve been born
Actually sick edit, love the style and pace of the video.
Awesome to see more installments of this series!! Immediately a banger of important information that is super unclear if you don't know.
Started playing this fall campaign, almost to the day it was released.
Looking forward to learning from you. A lot of the surfaces feel wildly inconsistent, with the physics of my car changing completely with slightly different speed, car angle, steering, gear; and it feels impossible to tell all the intricacies by myself just by playing.
Lol nice profile pic
Picked up TM riiiight before TM2020. It's been fun to not only get better at TMUF but to see TM2020 grow and mature. Super cool to see!
I play TM since Original 2003 and I still have to learn more about lots of mechanics in the most recent, 2020 game, which is even more "friendly" and versatile than any other game series.
You need a lot of patience to be actually good in this game, gladly videos like this exists and community is more than alive right now.
p.s. - huge dubs to GranaDy, he's actually insane because of using a steering wheel and driving in 3rd cam most of the time
because of using a steering wheel, as if that wasnt a handicap
I've played tmnf since 2016, just started 2020 a few days ago. Loving your channel :)
I’ve been playing it for about a year and I love it - not great but I really appreciate videos like this!
I've played tm 2020 just after the release, then stopped plaing, and then came back about 2 weeks ago.
But i've been whatching tm content on yt for the last 2 months, which brought me back to the game
I started playing after seeing Wirtual at GDQ 2020.
I got to 1 silver stripe next to my name within a few months but I haven't been able to advance past that at all. I tell myself that it's because I only ever play map testing (since before RMC it was the only easy way to play community maps on shuffle) and so if I ever stopped ignoring matchmaking, RMC, events, cotd, or even totd then I would see my rank continue to go up.
On that note I think it would make for a really good video in this series to thoroughly explain every way to get trophies, how much is awarded and for exactly what. Nadeo only says that "some things" give you varying levels of trophies.
Just got my gold bar. Ways of earning trophies: ANY online server. How many you are awarded is based on the player count in the server, what times you drove compared to the leaderboards, and the level of the competition you are playing (cup of the day awarding more than a simple live lobby being an example). I only know of a few specific ways to get a whole lot of trophies in one go, you get 1 million for either being top 1000 at the end of a campaign, another 1 million for being master 3 in ranked at the end of a campaign, and 50,000 for every division 1 (cup of the night at least I’m not sure if the first cup is worth more). Also got 400k for finishing second in a cup of the night div 1. Essentially, how you perform vs the level of competition. Took me 8ish months to snag my gold little nametag. Keep at it!
Remember playing tm for a while when og nations was released, then returned right before tm2020 was out and still going strong
Literally my first day playing it. I downloading it today afternoon
I started yesterday and got an author time for campaign four already, answering the question at the start of the video
Playing from 1mounth, but I study a lot and progress fast. Thk for the vid
I’ve been watching Wirtual for years but I didn’t start playing until there was about 1 week left in the 2022 fall campaign. I grinded 20/25 author medals in winter 2023, I won 40+ Royal games, I made it to Silver 3 in ranked, I finished top 5 in 3 cup of the days (my highest being division 3)and I finished 2nd in Virginia (my state) on a campaign track that I put 20+ hours into.
I've been playing off and on since 2008, but the steam launch of tm2020 really got me back into it. I also had a good run in tm2 canyon when that was shiny and new, feels like I was faster back then though.
bit late, but i started playing around 2010-2011 (when i was 4), but stop around late 2014, but got intrested again in 2019 due to for some reson seeing Karjen video in my recomanded and got nostalgic. Started to play in January 2020 after i got my own PC.
Really well-produced and articulated video! I've played every Trackmania since I got ahold of Powerup in 2004, with the exceptions of TMDS and TM2020 (not a fan of Epic, let alone Ubisoft, though I'll probably pick it up when it releases for console).
This video has been out a little under a month more than I’ve been playing TM.
I like camera 3 i.e. first person mode. It’s not great for everything, but to me there’s something helpful about the camera and the car being a single unit that both move at the exact same time. There’s an immediacy to it. The third person cameras separate the cameras from the steering wheel and thus introduce an extra kind of gap between your input and how the camera moves on screen. Camera 2 isn’t as bad as camera 1 at this, but with camera 3 it’s not an issue at all: your wheel is your camera and vice-versa. Feels more natural.
I started with ESWC and played until United came out. Stopped playing until a few months back when I stumbled upon a Wirtual CZcams video and have picked up TM2020. I’ve been using KB, but trying to switch to controller now.
@jnic Played United back around 2009-2010, but just now picked it back up yesterday with the console release.
Soo this is a reboot of the old why you suck series?
Also, i kept trying to get into the game but never felt like playing for long enough until last year when i convinced 2 of my friends to join me. Those friends don't play TM anymore, but it's currently the 4th season in which i hunted the AT and got them all. I do feel like i'm losing interest in playing the game but i still love watching the content online
I first played Trackmania United Forever about half a year ago, and I've been playing Trackmania 2020 for around 2 months
i started playing 2 weeks ago and the community has been really helpful. can you still use the triggers for non analog gas + break? i can't see myself switching these buttons
0:50
And also Bozbiz (I probably spelled it wrong...) who uses a mouse!
I've started Trackmania with TM Turbo and played it on and off since 2017
And although I've put in a loooot of hours
I have only gotten 145 Gold medals and about 30 Trackmasters. Although I barely went for those. I still Struggle on the Red maps in that game
And since most of that Playtime was spent in Canyon or Lagoon (since I enjoyed those most) barely any skill carried over to TM2020
Which I've been playing since the start of the Spring 2022 campaign. Having managed to get all silvers in every campaign, all golds in the last 2 before fall (that one was too difficult I am hoping to some day get all ATs (the black maps are so difficult on low FPS :(. )
Love this game, love this community
What do you recommend steering sensitivity on a controller and the dead zone?
I've been playing for about a month and I've gotten pretty good at just normal driving as I've already gotten myself some authors and even got a top 1000 global in the spring campaign! I need to get better at harder maps and learning new techniques and stuff.
never played a racing game before trackmania 2020. have 52 hrs in game. nearly gave it up as too difficult until someone pointed out that the controller i was using (Gamecube + USB adapter) was calibrated wrong and was only giving me 80% steering max. thats certainly one thing you want to mention. check that full left is actually full left. also had no idea you could bind action keys on controller and i need to do that. i also started playing during the middle of the winter campaign. glad that was over in 2 weeks. still find the game very difficult but at least i can follow the path silver and gold ghosts take.
thanks jnic!
I've been playing since a friend of my dad's gave me a copy of the first Trackmania when it came out in 2003, i was 8. If i remember correctly the game wasn't even out yet. The guy worked at Nadeo. I've been playing regularly until Trackmania 2 Valley came out, then switched to console, and started again a few days ago !
Hello i played trakmania for the first time 1 week ago, i did some hours of game and i still suck! But i like the game a lot! I hope learning a bit of theory could speed the process up ty! Nice video
I started playing about a year ago with the old TM, and TM2020 since the beginning of the Spring Campaign ‘22
Thanks for the vids. My interest lies in the post-newbie section like good and consistent speed sliding (as opposed to the basic tutorial), when and where to use action keys (thanks for a bit of that in this vid), and other general strategy advice.
Thanks!
Since you asked.
I have been playing Trackmania for a few months now, those months might have even added to a year by now. I play for maybe an hour 2 each time i play and i play at least once or twice a week. I got into it from Ludwig's colab with Wirtual and Wirtual's "documentary" videos on tracks and their history. I only play TMNF, because my laptop can't handle Trackmania 2020.
I got tm at the start of 2020, due to Northernlion picking it up for a while
I got yesterday at 1am and played untill 4 lol, this games is amazing 🏎️
You won't read this, but whatever :D
I estimate I played around 300h in TMNF and Sunrise around time they were released. I believe it's like 15 years ago? Now I started playing Trackmania 2020, I have 25h of gameplay (now measured with Steam).
Why I clicked your video - it was recommended to me, as I'm looking for some explainations, I think I finally figured out ice, now I need to master it, because I still get pretty random results.
Controller - Steam Deck. Previously it was keyboard and that's my preferred controller, but I don't have a computer powerful enough for Trackmania.
I started in 2008 with Trackmania Nations/United Forever. Best teenage days ever.
I used to play only on keyboard but with Trackmania 2020 I'm playing on controller more.
for that first question I have a different one that I use: RC Controller
It actually works semi well. Except you cant use the throttle for accel and break
Started last night. Got a few hours in.
ive played tmnf for about 800 hours and tm2020 for 103 hours
Thanks Jnic!
Let me quickly explain engine off blocks and exit speed next video 😂
@@Jnic pepeLaugh
Well made!
Thank you!
Nintendo Switch pro controller has Digital triggers. THis is so to keep everything consistent with the joycons. With Switch PRo controller you can keep on using triggers if you like.
is there a way to disable forced cam 3? it's the reason why I keep falling out of difficult bits dammit, just let me stay in cam 2!
How do you go free cam on console or is that not possible. Cause when I try to play RPG maps or puzzle maps. It’s harder on console cause I can’t see where to go.
How to use cam 7 on console. That’s what I meant to type in first comment.
I played Trackmania back in the day for a few years, maybe 2008-2012? I think I started with United. I remember playing Canyon for a few months before finally falling out of the series. Haven't played since then, just started up again a few weeks ago. I didn't take it super seriously back then, but also it seems people in general are better nowadays.
I've been playing for around 2 years now (mainly tmnf though, I only started TM 2020 this summer)
I've played tmnf since december 2021 and i've just recently (3 months ago) started playing tm 2020
0:10 around 40 minutes now!
While I really disliked the first tutorials you put out (overproduced, too many unnecessary jokes, unclear info), I have to say this one is a huge, huge, improvement. Not even close. Very informative, well-put together, good editing. This will be incredibly useful for "advanced" beginners looking to get to the next level. I'm impressed.
I play trackmania since its release on PS4, but i've been watching since early 2022
On the 'controller vs keyboard' debate - there isn't really as much "pros and cons to both" as the video makes it sound. You can absolutely just use the d-pad on a controller and then have access to analog AND digital inputs for steering depending which is more advantageous at the time.
Keyboard is theoretically almost equal with the action keys, but a) the amount of focus/mechanical demand to get the same result as controller makes it worse in an objective sense, and b) its still not 100% equal in precision/flexibility.
Just about the only actual non-subjective advantage keyboard could have over controller is a minor one: controllers have that thumb travel distance between dpad < and dpad > , which would result in a couple of frames of neutral steering in between both.
But even that is resolvable with controller if you want to bind steerleft and steerright to the bumpers for example, which functionally would make it like keyboard -- and using that as an argument seems fair if we'll consider keyboard actionkeys a fair point.
Hey man! Great video, great pacing and narration, but I do have one bit of criticism; the camera sweeps are hanging or dropping frames quite a lot which looks jarring, almost gives me motion sickness. The regular replays you show don’t seem to have that issue, so not sure what causes it. I like views like this in general, they add a lot of visual interest during narration and just show how beautiful of a game TM is, but if they’re not actually smooth, they look irritating. Maybe you could try rendering these camera sweeps to a video with the replay editor directly so they have a consistent framerate instead of screen-capping them?
Hi, I have around 180 hours on Trackmania. for some reason though after opening up Ubisoft last time it's started saying i have 10900 hours played which is crazy!! I think it's bugged maybe?
Started like 9 months ago. Heard of it from Wirtual
Go Gooo gooo
I have only TMNF and I have a play time of 100 so I don't need a tutorial for 2020 but still wanna watch
About 30 min lol im addicted
I've played Trackmania on and off for over a decade. I think I started with Trackmania Wii when I was about 10. Then I've played a bit of ESWC. Then TMNF/TMUF (have collected a total of 650+ hours over many years), and I've started TM2020 about a year ago (surprisingly 250+ hours already, so I'm a lot more active recently), so I'm no beginner and this video is not targeted me (won't stop me from watching it).
I wouldn't say I'm very skilled at the game, I've been playing it too infequently to have a real chance of becoming very good at it, but I have picked up on some things over the years. I would say I'm the best at playing RPG maps (I also find RPG maps the most fun), but there's still a large gap between me and the top level.
In terms of infrequency, I tended to get really into the game for a month, burn out, and then not play at all for multiple months until I get into it again. A couple times I've forgot about these games for years until I returned again.
The biggest difference recently is that I'm keeping a lot more up with the community. Before I was used to play solo in the earlier days of me playing (or I played random servers on TMNF without truly interacting with others). I'm still not interacting a lot, but I now keep up with what else happens/gets discussed in the community.
Great in depth answer! I’m glad you are involving yourself more in the community, it’s always more fun that way!
I started playing around 2007. Just on my laptop for fun.
I started last week... And I can't aim elsewere than to the obstacles. I don't want to finish faster, I want to finish AT ALL... I help that'll help me to better control my car... On the ground to finish maps at all
Just hit 800 hours in tm today!
3 days and i figured i suck at it after playing ranked , i have got 5 author medals in training tracks but it was some lucky attemps , i wanna learn how to be consistent with my attempts ig
I started playing TMNF in October 2021-ish and switched to TM2020 around October 2022-ish. I somehow have only played about 350 hours combined, which doesn’t feel right.
70 hours in Trackmania, playing since the beginning of Fall 2022 Season
I started playing earlier this week
Tm player since desert 😎
Hey Jnic!
I play trackmania now for like 24hourse playtime.
I Did mostly all fall 2022 tracks in gold and a couple AT'S.
but now im stuck and looking for videos like this
FINALLY
Woooo
very good video
Appreciate it 🙏
This is a very Sunless video title.
Using wheel is definitely most alpha move possible
summer of 2022 is when i started playing
Been playing for about a month. On and off. I play R6, and other games. But trackmania as a break( chill day).
first played trackmania when it first came out, then ignored it for 20 years till today
Been very active for most of a year. Current campaign 12 author medals and unlocked black tracks this week, I have maybe a few hundred up to a thousand hours into the game (anywhere I can check?) and I prefer controller. I consider myself average.
ESWC somewhere between 2006/2007
They have been doing reeeeeal good job with balancing keyboard players yes, they didn’t make us eat dirt with the rally car and the snow car not at all.
2 days i am playing, wanted to get in to deep dip 2
I'd be interested to see if anybody uses both keyboard and gamepad simultaneously.
i have been playing tm for 2 days now
I've been playing TrackMania for 2 years
my gamepad wont work on trackmania
I really wish camera 7 was available on console.
9-10 months (400h) by best result is top 25 on winter 2023 - 22 and div 1 on ice (average div 6-8)
Just a couple of days, under 10 hours
I've played for like two months. I can get gold medals on COTD but it takes a while.
I would say across tmnf and tm2020 I have around 100-200h, tho I probably perform more like
Just started this month
I started on nations because my PC is a potato
I've played for 80 hours and I'm going to continue
Started on nations in 2nd year high school and stopped after a few months and finally coming back when I discovered that old free game actually became a huge phenomenon and is still going strong
:edit forgot to add im 29 now(boomer noises)
i just got it
I've been playing since last may so about 10 months
Started playing 2023/07/03 i have 3 hour 32 mins just got author for the first 15 maps on campaign and 17,18,19,22,25
