Looks like the 3-2-1 events are not live yet.

Pretty small, guess this will finally get my friends back into the game.
Wish I could join the other hosts on the ssxubercast.

I'm in love with SSX again. All I ever wanted was the option to turn off the HUD and now its there! The bad part is that they turn off everything except for the border that goes around the screen.

Hot damn, 3-2-1-Go! Race It events are intense! I wasn't prepared for that. I nearly forgot what real head-to-head racing was like. It's even more crazy when the stakes (and myself) are so high. I lost my first race, with just me and one other person in Bear Claw with no wingsuit. Then I went again, but with 4 total racers and that was even more intense. Really enjoyable mode overall.
Freeride is aaaaall good. But they do need to get rid of that border as well.
edit: I'm confused about something. I'm trying to set up my own custom 3-2-1 Go! Race It event so that anyone worldwide can join in and race me. The closest option I see though is "All Connected Friends." Is that the same thing or something else? Is there some other option I'm missing?

I'm trying to find the SSX demo on the 360 MarketPlace but no luck until now. Did they took it down?
I think both demos on PSN and Live are gone. Someone mentioned it a few days ago that they were gone very soon after release.

in freeride on serenity I crashed into a tree and it went into seriously unplayable freezing framerate hell for me to. But only when I crashed into the tree, so I rewinded and rewinded and it happened again each time. I videotaped it but I guess I didnt record it or something because there is nothing on my phone..lol ><
I play every day or so. GT is Stackboy Royale. Not great at the game but I really enjoy it, so you'll probably beat me!
Thanks guys.
So my roommate and I finally got our new internet and its awesome quick at 50 mbps down and with halo reach, the game plays fine.
But ssx is laggy as shit, the framrate is probably around 10 fps whenever I am in a global event or any race/trick event thats connected online. I deleted the system update, cleared the cache and removed the installed game. I didn't have the 3.0 update before my xbox went offline so I had to install that 9 mb patch...
Can anyone help explain why ssx is just so laggy now?

Mines at 35 mbps, and runs fine/smooth... might be a problem w/ your xbox or the isp is throttling you.
Why would they do that for ssx and not halo reach?

It's definitely not your internet connection.

Played a bit of free ride last night. The game is still a lot of fun but it's a bit to late for me, still it was good they released it. A potential sequel to this with them focusing on the the right things could be all sorts of amazing.
By the way, is there anyway to see how much time you've put into to the game? Because I think this is my most played game this generation but it's fun to see anyway.

Then what can it be, I have it installed with the latest patch. Maybe remove the install game?

When did they raise the level cap to 12? I didn't even notice until I accidentally pressed square on the character select screen. Although some of the geotags giving 200 000 credits certainly takes some of the pain away from leveling.

da fuq? UPDATE 3.5 up!
"Rider Levels 12-15 are open and can be purchased with your in-game credits at the character select screen" Also Time-of-day and weather changes have been made to select drops.
I understand why they did it but this seems like a cop-out used to extend the playability of the game by adding more bars for us to fill.
The worst part is that instead of offering time of day and weather changes as options for us, they change certain drops outright. Makes little sense. And the bars to fill up was a problem from the very beginning. When one race took you from lvl 1 to lvl 5 it was obvious it was a poorly constructed growth system.

Ah so that's what that update was. Still level 15, are they fucking kidding me? I mean it will be fast as hell and take long as fuck to level. Sigh.

Loving this game and loving the updates. Hope the "year of SSX" DLC that's been rumoured come true. It's the kind of game you could happily play on and off for months if they kept adding new stuff. I also love the way they handled the online, I find racing friends ghosts way more satisfying than waiting in a lobby.
Too bad I suck at it! But still having fun

So I leveled up Moby to 13, wasn't too painful. But still, so unnecessary. I mean the boards are almost maxed out at level 11 anyway. Gonna compare level 15 and 11 when I get there. So far level 12 unlocks a new geotag slot, level 13 a new mod slot and level 14 will unlock a new gear slot it seems. I dunno what you need three gear slots for though, the only one that it would be remotely useful on is Death Zone, and it's not like you need the headlamp there anyway.

Mt. Fuji is a turd. The worst part about it is that it hides the death pits behind snow hills so you only see them when you're flying headfirst into them.
Level 15 is ridiculous by the way, it's fast as hell. I've leveled up both Ty and Moby so far (bless the 500k geotags) and be prepared to shell out around 40 million on the best boards. A regular top stat goes for around 10 million but if you want a perk it's in the 40 million ball park.

wat the...I only have 63 million and was excited and there's boards running at 40 mil? I quit >.<

My funds drained pretty quickly. I'm down to about 50 million right now thanks to some expensive global events, but most of them end in a couple of hours at which point I should get like 400 million or something.
Just do global events with an entry fee of 5 million and you should be able to get a lot of credits pretty fast. There's usually a new one every 12 hours or so I think. Oh and level 15 cost 10 million to unlock, level 14 7.5 million and level 13 5 million and so on, so that gets expensive pretty quick as well.
On another note I watched The Art of Flight today, pretty nice movie.

Yeah I usually follow what global events you do because they usually have an amazing payout. =p

Haha really? I mostly just browse the globe to see if there's any mountain range with a pot of a billion.

Strange my legendary all around board at lvl15 hasn't had any other board beat it in stats and its got a trick perk. 20 Mill for it, not 40 iirc.
Grassclipper

Are legendary the orange ones? Anyway both Moby's and Ty's boards that I'm using went for 38 million I think, so around 40. And both are all around boards as well. Don't remember the perks though.

I've seen a few people say this now, and yet we've heard nothing about it getting fixed.
Which version of the game do you have?

I wonder if we're getting any more tracks or modes, or if the team has moved on.

Sadly I don't think we will.
I think SSX is the game I've spent the most time with this generation, (I haven't found a way to check this so it's an estimate) but it felt like the community around the game disappeared rather quickly. The first few weeks or month was great, and I admit I haven't played it in a while, but last time I played the global event with the most riders had like 300 or something.
Who knows. I'd love to see the team work together again.
At least Frank G. seemed to speak positively about SSX in the press. Maybe that means good things.
I've wanted to play so badly for the past several months but I literally have 0 time to play games these days except for 3DS on the subway. :c
I nominate this thang as my GOTY stillll.

Is it really looking like nothing else is going on with the team? I guess it is time to pick this up again if there is no chance of a sequel.
