A plea to Davey Coombs. Milestone's MXGP video game has it all. Real riders, Real MX1 and MX2 teams, real bikes, every logo spot on right down to TC222's boots, full points series, extremely true realistic replica tracks, great career mode, realistic speed, full race replays. It is truly authentic to the world of MXGP. We haven't had anything like this for the AMA since when EA Sports made their Supercross games way back in 2000. Nearly 15 years ago! Yes, the physics in MXGP need a bit of work but you have to brake and use tons of throttle control unlike most games. What it lacks in physics it makes up in every other regard.
It would really help promote the sport if we had an AMA version of this kind of game where it is completely authentic like all the other sports have? Sports video games are huge. MXGP is selling really well in Europe. An authentic AMA MX/SX game with a full license would do really well. Yes, we are a small sport but their is a demographic for this. Look at the FB page last year wanting EA to do an AMA game. It had over 20,000 likes. Nordic is making Supercross this year but we need replica AMA tracks, especially the motocross ones. The replica tracks in MXGP are unreal.
I feel MXGP is the best motocross console game we have ever seen. now we need an AMA equivalent. Maybe Nordic could be the ones to do it. ??
This made so much sense. Ramrod posted this on the Game Forum.
"I agree that this is the best "motocross" game to date for the console because of its authenticity."
"Paging DC, thank me later but imagine if they made a mxgp game version of the us nationals? Would be huge. Great exposure for the riders, teams, sponsors, and the series. Might even boost tv viewership. I watched valkenswaard last weekend and knew what was going on, it was sick!"
Agreed, Ramrod!
So many people get into sports thru video games. That is how I got into hockey. Thru NHL94. This could totally help our sport and helping to grow the greatest sport in the world is never a bad thing.
DC?

cause if it's dual sticks I can't play it
you can re-map it however you want. So you can make it dual stick or one stick. Every control is re-mappable!
It is available on Ebay for PS3 (which is region free) or on PC thru Steam.
To those who think it is a waste of time you should realize that sports video games are a huge market and it would help to promote the sport a lot.
Yes, Reflex and Alive physics are a bit better than MXGP but having realistic replica tracks goes a LONG ways in making a game good. Reflex has over exaggerated wide tracks, jumps too long,horrible collision detection, touchy controls, not very realistic outdoor tracks and Alive's SX tracks are too short, a decided lack of tracks and its outdoor tracks are abysmal due to too many jumps everywhere (other than the excellent JS7 Compound tracks.) And neither can hold a candle to MXGP's authenticity.
To me, all the great sim/arcade physics in the world mean nothing if you are racing on unrealistic tracks that are either scaled 3x too big or are littered with unrealistic jumps everywhere.
I think the new MVA Supercross will be the best of the series and I know some of the developers and they WILL take that series in a more authentic direction and make the game better but as it stands today, I think MXGP is far and away the best Motocross game to date due to its authenticity.
But I digress. This isn't a MXGP/MVA thread. This is a plea for DC and the powers that be, Prader, etc...to look into a full licensed game that WILL promote the sport. I know there are developers interested.
Yes, I know DC has his plate full. However, MXSports and Feld should ALWAYS be looking for avenues to expand their fan base and this is for sure one of those avenues.

Look at MXGP. I know several people in the industry and they told me that MXGP has sold VERY VERY well. And we all know Supercross is popular worldwide. Much more popular than the MXGP series.
It would sell and make money. And open up new fans to our sport, most importantly.
I couldn't even handle the bike in Reflex because it moved around so precisely and freely. Took me a while to get going again, but Reflex physics are so much better.
Reflex has a track editor now, so people are making replica tracks. I assume someone could make the nationals without developing a whole new game.
Teams too.
Milestone should make a mxdn add on pack with rv etc in it would be great.
And for those that think DC is too busy, that may be true but this is a business opportunity plus it would help the growth of the nationals.
You can power slide and when the bike starts to slide out you can correct it with moving the riders weight.
I do think the scrub sucks. You scrub and it throws you straight into an endo on every jump so that blows.
But I can see some improvements making this game a lot better.
They do need supercross though. GPs get boring after a while.
Post a reply to: DC...Another way to promote our sport. How about an AMA version of the MXGP video game or it's equivalent?
