I really fear Stadium 2 might meet the same fate as Canyon with hardly any players playing it, thus the competition racing against others diminishes, and the players bit by bit go elsewhere. And you know what? It was awesome fun all over again. Before Stadium 2 was released I ended up not playing Canyon anymore (for lack of players/competition) and reverting back to TrackMania Nations Forever. I have purchased both Canyon and Stadium, but fear (as with what happened to Canyon) that the players are going elsewhere and playing other games instead. Upon reading forum threads at different race/clan sites I see many players unhappy with in-game cameras, no block-mixing tool and being bombarded with ShootMania (which a lot of people don't want, nor will ever play) being the biggest gripes about the game. I haven't seen these player numbers for a couple of weeks. Usually around this time there are many players playing with server numbers (on the popular servers) 100+ players.

Just tonight I fire up Stadium and not really shocked to see such lack of players playing.


After a short while the numbers started dropping off. First uptake when game was released was massive with everyone downloading the game and playing. Maybe its just me, but I am seeing the same results as I did with Canyon.
