It's analog with the left stick. I've noticed it works better with the buggy if I sometimes release the throttle for half a second adjust and then speed up again.
Also analog throttle with the right trigger iirc.

Yes it has
That works better but also slows you down ever so slightly if you are going for Trackmaster medals...
Haha yeah. The signs around the tracks that says "Easy to learn. Hard to master" isn't lying
Check the tags under the difficulty levels as well....
Trackmaster? shit, some of us have trouble finishing some tracks on silver!
Steering has never been digital in the Trackmania games (if you've used a controller). I can say for sure that steering is analog, specially due to the Canyon drift, it's essential to use the analog steering to time your drifts, when you've got very long arcs, adding to the drift and straightening and adding again. That wouldn't be possible without analog.

On previous games (and this one with canyon drift), I'd initiate a deift and then control it with taps of the dpad. It was tuned really nicely around how quickly the wheels would turn based on how long you held the dpad down
I think that feel is still there, but the buggy is quite frustrating to drive
Yeah. Would have been good if maybe all the top row were unlocked from the start, and each column unlocked downwards - ie complete canyon drift White to unlock the next difficulty in canyon drift.
Steering is definitively analogue (even if it can feel like it's digital in Valley on dirt because the slightest touch on the stick makes the car turn 90 degrees

Yeah it's analogue.
I know this for a fact, because my controllers analogue stick is broken and causes the car to drift a left little all the time.

Lol, yes, that's a nice statement. It can be so frustrating if you miss your racing line by inches, and your whole race is screwed. Loving it though. trying and trying again. Can't imagine I'll ever get all the tracks gold.
Wish they would put the button for records on the screen the whole time per track instead of when you start it up for the first time.
Must say a lot of my PS4 friends have bought this.
Multilap dirt tracks are cronic for this. However once you get a perfect run, it feels glorious.
Yeah just tested and I was wrong. I remember checking the triggers (digital), guess I never checked the steeringSteering is definitively analogue (even if it can feel like it's digital in Valley on dirt because the slightest touch on the stick makes the car turn 90 degrees
Wow, what's the fun in that? Pff

That's how I'd like it, but i've been putting in gold or silver runs just to get stuff unlocked with the intent to come back later.
The game says I'm 1st in my state, 2 in US, and 78 in the world on the ps4. I figured it was broken.

For those longing for some old school fullspeed tracks, my guide is now up on the Trackmania subreddit. It covers how to import tracks from earlier versions of Trackmania over to Trackmania Turbo. Only tested with the stadium environment so far.

Its a shame this game is being largely ignored. Probably more popular in and around Europe, here in the states all anyone plays are fps', Minecraft, or GTA V. They're fine, but branch out and play something new once in awhile.

The game says I'm #1 in Sweden and #50-ish in the world. It hasn't ever shown me drop a single position, I've only seen myself rank up - meanwhile, I know it has also shown other people that they're #1 in Sweden. The site says I'm #75 in
Sweden and #6,935 worldwide. I'm certain that's completely wrong, as it hasn't changed at all in at least 3-4 days. So none of it can be trusted.

Trackmania enjoys a cult status over here (Western Europe), pretty much every one has played it at school or at home at one point. It's also covered a lot by gaming media here, I think it's definitely a European game in that sense.
I'm enjoying this a lot at the moment. The custom track online lobbies are just so much fun.
Where do you see the track master times?

You don't. You just need to discover them by driving fast.

I remember thinking I could NEVER even PASS Inferno 2 on Trials HD. 6 Months later I could 0 fault it, one out of 100 times lol. What at first seems impossible often becomes easy with practice.
That said, I will NEVER get gold on all these LOL

That's good to know, I saw you clearly know what you are doing from your screenshot above. I only tried Digital in the first place because I saw someone saying that the console controls were adapted from the PC version which uses keyboard, made sense but was probably not all that accurate.

They're are some people making an effort to compile a list, but the times aren't explicit so it's just narrowed down by what people are getting when earning the medals. Still, very helpful if you're going for them.
They also have video guides on how to get them. Though honestly most of them are pretty easy going. Don't crash and take a good line, and you will get the trackmaster time.

I'm really having a blast with this game.

Only way I found is having friends ghosts, I don't think there is a general leaderboard you can use
with the update I moved up to 12 on my state in the website and 253 in the US, woo! lol
Pretty sure it includes the beta players, at least on PS4

Found some of the craziest lobbies tonight on PS4. Look for the one with the Canadian flag with probably a 100 players in already. Name is something like Le_Gringo_QC. Finishing his tracks are an achievement on its own. On average I didn't see more than 10 finishes every race (with 100 players).
And another lobby which name I forgot had a series of very cool and basic (but hard to master) tracks of 10-15 seconds each. Basically a couple of turns and that's it, but it was amazing to see 64 people going at it.

The earlier PC games also used analog. Lots of people have better luck with digital is all. (I've always used analog)

The Joker is your friend. I find the system to be genius.
After I accidentally got a green I just said "Fuuuuuuuuuuuu".
Finally got the game in the mail. Stupid Amazon. Anyway it was weird having my beta times transfer over but not game progress. Tracks were tagged as gold or Trackmaster yet when I clicked on them I was told "you haven't unlocked this yet".
So far I'm mostly just trying for Golds. Every once and I while I replay a level a few times and see how high I can get up the leaderboard.
Managed this on Track 26:
Next goal: crack the top 10 worldwide on a track.
