What is Reddit's opinion of
TrackMania?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
23 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
It's your trophy rank. Check this image for what position you need for each rank. You can get these trophies from playing live matches (not ranked though), earning medals in seasonal campaign and playing TOTD and COTD.
You can check your rank either by clicking your name on the top left in main menu or by going to https://trackmania.io.
First of all, do you have Starter (free), Standard or Club Access?
You can find a detailed comparison of what you can do with which access here.
If you have Standard or Club access you don't even need to download the ghosts anymore, but can activate them ingame directly (Settings > "Interface" > "Always display records" and then open those by clicking on the clock symbol on the left side of the screen in the middle. Activate a ghost by clicking on the eye symbol) while playing in Solo mode. For Live you need Club to do the same.
For the free version (Starter Access): I honestly don't know if playing against a downloaded replay is possible, or if you need Standard or even Club there too.
Anyway, if you plan on buying it: Apparently it is advised to do so via Ubisoft, not Epic, that seems to have a lot of issues for a lot of players.
As per this update on the ranked 3v3s by NADEO, posted 31st of August 2021:
"(...)At the end of every month, players will earn trophies according to their placement. The top player will win a Trophy 8!" :-)
https://www.trackmania.com/2021/01/27/earn-trophies-with-the-cup-of-the-day-mode/
This explains trophies on cotd.
You also get a trophy 5 (middle silver one) for placing between 101-1000 on track of the day, and a trophy 4 (lowest silver one) for I think 1000-10000. Author medals on the first 3 track packs gain 1 trophy 4 each, and on red and black you get a trophy 5 (which u already got). For trophy 6 you need to place inside top 10000 on the campaign at the end (which u are rn), get top 100 on totd or be really good I cotd (see link).
That's literally it. Playing normal live arcade lobbys don't help with getting trophies, cotd, totd and campaign's the way

at the bottom it says:
If you do not renew your Standard or Club Access:
- The tracks of the official and "Track of the Day" campaigns will remain playable locally- The content you created or the one you got from clubs will remain playable locally.
Example: you get a skin car from Zerator Club, you can still use it in the free access but nobody will see i while you play online- You'll keep the advanced track editor, the replay editor and the skin editor
​
if you dont renew, the rest will be reverted to starter pack as is listed in the link above
First off, it's completely normal to not be able to understand the membership levels and pricing. This blog post (even if written before the game's release) provides the quick summary. Full spreadsheet of features is here.
As mentioned, you open the game and there's several racing options. A typical game would be much more up-front about its racing modes. In Trackmania, "what you're meant to do" (in practice) is click around and explore the different racing options, find the tracks and game modes you enjoy the most, and play them better and better. Also there's map building. Hopefully this helps!
Mobile games : Arena of valor and Clash Royale !
Add 2-4 fighting games like SFV, Tekken, SSB family :)
Cards games : HS, Magic (already in Open Beta i think), Gwent.
Rocket League and FIFA.
Moba : LoL, Dota2, HoTS.
Maybe one sim racing game ?
And i will add TrackMania because it's awesome !!!
Try to avoid "violent" games (aka Mortal Kombat or FPS sadly). School and parents are a little cold about them :D
They are called trophies and they are a game wide ranking system. There are 9 different trophies (3 tiers of bronze, silver and gold) and they are worth points on a logarithmic scale (1 point for the lowest bronze trophy all the way up to 100.000.000 points for the tier 9 which is reserved for the campaign winner and biggest competitions). The leaderboard can be seen here: https://trackmania.io/#/top
A list of notable features available in the free version would be a great addition to the FAQ. Could also include a link to Nadeo's list of features comparing the versions. There could also be a list of which paid features has workarounds to use in the free version.
According to https://www.trackmania.com/2020/05/27/trackmania-details-racing-experiences-with-starter-standard-and-club-access/ ,
> After my access expires, will I lose everything I have earned? > No, at the end of your period, you keep the official tracks and Tracks of the Day accumulated
>A game I've never even played.
Almost all entry points to any TrackMania game is free to play!
- TrackMania Nations forever is Free to Play
- The starter access for the newest Trackmania® is also free!
Trackmania is great for this, it has a replay editor and a track editor. There's a billion releases, the most recent one is just Trackmania. https://www.trackmania.com/
You can play it free, but for some reason Ubisoft decided this is a subscription only game. You can't buy it outright, you can only subscribe for a certain amount of time. The last Trackmania you could buy is Trackmania Turbo, which has a track editor and replay editor as well. However the one people like the most is Trackmania 2, which has its own bizarreness with releasing each environment as an expansion pack, but they don't call them expansion packs.
Oh really? I didn't realize that. So if someone doesn't play for a year, they'll come back to an account with 0 points and bronze 1 rank?
The original post about the ranking system says "Progression is constant; every trophy you win is acquired and cannot be lost" but maybe they changed that later?
All the way at the bottom of this sheet you'll find all the relevant information: https://www.trackmania.com/2020/06/27/trackmania-offers-details/
I use Trackmania exactly for relaxing. Tracks are short and whole game is little insane!
Newest Trackmania is free, but it gets much better when you pay 10$ to get access for huge pool of user made maps. Regular multiplayer is relaxing since you can't collide with others and latency isn't an issue, you just play with others and see how you place. If you want little competition then ranked 3-vs-3 multiplayer matches are way to go. IMO those are much better since you can't just restart the level, just get try to get in the finish and its possible your team wins.
Trackmania. Probably the wackiest and most fun racing game, which has gravity-defining physics compared to other racing games like Need For Speed. It is also competitive and more or less 'Finish as fast as you can'.
On the new TM or Maniaplanet/TMF ?
On the older ones, you get lps from any standard server up to 50/60K depending on the server, after there is some 20-70k, 40-80k, 60-90k servers to have more than 50/60k lp.
On the new TM, you get trophies, each trophies has a point value, here is an image that shows you what points each gives you : https://www.trackmania.com/uploads/2020/06/Trophies-1.jpg
You keep the skin editor
For more info on that, there is a chart published on the official TM website: https://www.trackmania.com/2020/06/27/trackmania-offers-details/
https://www.trackmania.com/2020/06/27/trackmania-offers-details/The subscription won't auto-renew, so you'll have to manually purchase after 1 year.
If you don't renew your access you will still be able to play the previous campaigns and track of the day locally. You'll also keep the advanced track editor
More points, that is. Here Nadeo says that every trophy is worth 10x more points as the last one so the silber trophy i have 7 of should give me 70K points, right??
Hello, the maps themself dont give you points. You esrn points for a set of maps compared to your current score. Details
Also it might take up to 15 minutes until points and times are updated.
"players ghosts" is "top 5 and self surrounding players ghosts on all maps" and "personal best ghost displayed on all maps" in the category "in-game worldwide & regionalized rankings and ghosts display on all servers" from the offers details provided by nadeo
Club vip ghosts are ghosts from members of your club that can appear in every solo map (training/daily/club).
