Re: Trackmania 2020 review. You might think that the tracks are designed to annoy people, but it’s always important to remember that the competitive games are more often than not shaped by their best players. Being a very old franchise, Trackmania wasn’t always like this in level design, and although there were some annoyances in the Nadeo track designs of the time, there were many simpler tracks that were intended to ease the newer players in, but got torn to shreds by the community as time went on and previously unseen techniques were discovered. It’s nothing more than the result of a rising skill ceiling, and the learning curve the game has now is a natural extension of that. Pro players don’t have that much of a hard time navigating all the tracks, unless it’s some deliberately made niche stuff like Kacky tracks which are designed to force players into exploiting every single trick in the book.
