I received the new game early, i got it yesterday lunch time. I have to say i was very disappointed,
I restrained from writing this post until i had given it a fair chance, so i completed it and unlocked everything. Reflex came out 5 years ago, and i can't find one thing about this new game that i prefer over reflex, (i wasn't to much of a fan of alive either) which is why i'm comparing with reflex
I hate to be so negative about a product but when you've been exited about something for months and then spend money on it, for it to be a disappointment is just a shame!
There are still enjoyable aspects to the game as a motocross fan but i have to be honest i'll be sticking the game on eBay to get as much money back as i can to try and get it sold near to the official release date.
I recently bought the MXGP game and the graphics were fantastic and had a lot of really good features on the game, such as starting on a privateer team and working up to factory, all official bike brands and gear, technicians coming to the line with the rider, exact replicas of the GP circuits etc etc but the actual riding game play was a little off, if Nordic teamed up with the makers of MXGP for their next release it would be ground breaking for motocross gaming and would entice new fans to the sport.
For Nordic's first game it wasn't a bad effort but it still isn't as good as reflex or MXGP which came out this year.
A lot of improvements to be made.

is it the physics that aren't right?

couple of improvements i have seen that bikes bog a little out the corners especially on the 125 and a dab of the clutch is needed to regain speed which is cool, the only other improvement that they have changed is that you can battle with other riders without taping them and falling straight off.
Negatives: The general gameplay, handing, poor whips/scubs, no story to the career, short game, basic menus, from stand still releasing the clutch is like having NOS, they have bought back in the preload, but instead of it being a realistic seat bounce it's more like a pogo stick, it's very arcade like and hasn't progressed in anyway forward from a game that was released 5 years ago, if you don't finish 1st you don't get to finish the race it just stops when the leader has won, i was lined up next to Roczen who was wearing rainbow gear rather than fox lol.
Having played MXGP, other than the actual handing of the bike which is obviously very important they've got the rest of the game basically spot on, the gameplay also being better than SX, so to see where mx gaming can be.. As i said it was a disappointment.. Sorry if i've annoyed anyone who hasn't played it yet, just wanted to give my opinion and a heads up about what i thought, i'm sure many people will still enjoy it, i didn't not enjoy it. I was just dissapointed that i thought it would have progressed from reflex not gone backwards.
sales are the only thing that matter in single-a or b-level game development/publishing. it's all about putting the least amount of time in and using the most existing code.
don't let wishful thinking cloud your judgement.
Whoa, that's a pretty shocking design decision right there! I appreciate you posting your thoughts on the game, cheers.

speaking of constructive criticism, maybe hold off on slamming the game 5 days before it comes out. believe it or not, you probably just talked a lot of people out of trying it for themselves and forming their own opinion, and for Nordic's first release of the series they probably need all the sales they can get to ensure another addition to the series.
just my opinion, thanks for sharing yours
The most Important thing for me is that the rider and bike look and move realistic.
Ofc a story (linke mtx mototrax had a very cool career mode) and Stadiums and stuff is cool but I buy it because you can ride a dirtbike first of all. And its no fun to me if the rider looks like hes taking a shit vor something.

I can't wait to give it a shot myself Tuesday. I'll reserve judgement until I actually get good at the game.
I'm totally confused why people like MXGP. The tracks, riders, bikes, story, etc.. all are perfect. But the physics and feel of the bike are horrid to the point I can't play it. Mad Skills has better physics and riding feel. But I buy every dirt bike video game to try and support the genre.
Not worth anything more than a fiver
Shame, I like reflex
