    I mentioned cups myself. I agree that a player can arrange this without a game modification (and I do), but I think it would be great if it WAS part of the game. Think of what the cup system brings to a game like Mario Kart. If nothing else, it adds character. And who doesn't want to see their custom disc proudly atop a winner's Podium?

    Nice shot on under a big W

    Great shot by a player from a 4 player game I'm currently playing.

    (possibly not entirely intentional :D)

    shots like this make me wish I could record shots and keep them :)

    Got to agree wished it had a saved replay feature.

    Why would you want to play against what would probably be a crappy computer player? Isn't it more of a challenge to play a Pass-and-play game against yourself? At least you would know that both players would be near the same level.

    I think playing a computer player would be way too easy. I make too many think-outside-the-box moves (such as crazy jumps) that I'm sure the computer player wouldn't do.

    Well, when you're right, you're right, and you made a few good points there!

    Love the new update—especially the custom notification sound!

    But two bugs remain that come up constantly:

    1. Sound is lost if you get a phone call—even while the game is in the background. You have to force quit to get sound back. (I’ve seen other apps do this, but I’ve also seen some get updates to fix the issue.)

    2. Notification badges don’t work unless you’re already in the game (which isn’t when you generally need them). I often make people wait for AGES because I can’t keep track by memory of whether I owe a turn or not. I’m sure many people do the same, slowing the pace of games down hugely for everyone. I try to keep re-launching the app to check, but that’s a hassle too.

    If those get fixed, I pledge to buy a decal pack :) Think about it: that’s 70 cents in your pockets! Can’t decide whether to get onions on that pizza? Well, 70 cents won’t cover it, but it’s a start! :)

    I'll dog pile on both those points. Although I'm not sure it's just getting a phone call. I seem to lose sound more often than getting phone calls. Might just be getting some kind of notification, I'll try to pay closer attention.

    As to badges, I just don't get it. This can't be that big of a deal since every other app with notifications that I have use them. But it is annoying as hell not having them.

    This game is great but it still has so much potential.

    Global leaderboards? For individual tracks and overall.

    Some sort of online league racing as mentioned several times already. Or just an easier solution for folks that want to create leagues (ex. Shorten the days not played from 8 to maybe...2?)

    Acheivement system. 50 wins, 100 wins, 1000 wins, longest win streak, etc...

    The list goes on and on.

    I still enjoy the game very much. I just think of ways to improve nearly everytime I play.

    Ok if it's not too late, I just created a new account with the name Indy.

    I thought about what you replied and agree, that could cause problems. Thank you sir.

    So when do we start?

    Wise move :)
    The start of the tournament s a while off yet not until the 10th September to give people time to sign up.

    In the mean time I have sent you an invite to a game because I need the practice :)
