Snow Monte Carlo?

[Elijolno]

I only play time trials for relax. But I couldn't find snow track in Monte Carlo like I seen in some Youtube channels. Or do I have to play in a other mode?

you have to play in another mode. go to quick play and select solo. after that you can build your own rally and race against the AI. you wont be able to do TT in this mode but quick play is where you get to dig through all the stages and weather scenarios you want

Yes there is Snow in winter but not 3D Snow like dirt rally montecarlo. Its just an ugly flat 2D snow texture to simulate winter and even the Trees in Winter have Leaves!!. No 3D Snow walls. No montecarlos Winter spirit. its totaly bad in this one sadly.

Monte Carlo with ice is just awfull, it´s over the top hard, also yes, you can set up some funny stuff and practice ice i guess. Too bad... I never play any championship or career because of it. Makes every other stages, meaningless due to the overhvelming advantages the ai has her. Any reason to keep fighting for seconds is out the window. becomes absurd and just stupid to keep playing in face of the impossible and dumb abyss of Monte Carlo winter stages. Too bad they destroyed half the game with this. Wery much like the Monto Carlo stage, otherwise and also ea wrc is still THE best rally game ever! for sure.

learning how to properly drift in monte is one of the best things in this game.

Sounds like you just need to practice. Driving on ice is difficult to master sure, but its not impossible and is actually a lot of fun once you start understanding how you need to approach it.

You want nimble movements and to stay light on the steering wheel. Same for your pedal work, you need to be easy on and off your pedals. Truly, its all about going with the flow and using the weight of the car to steer you around the corners. It's probably why I love it so much, it forces you to be zen.

Curious too and maybe slightly off topic. Was anyone else able to watch Monte this year? Was so good! LOL

Yeah winter Monte is a bummer in EA WRC.
I might install DR2 again just for that. Those winter stages there are hella fun
