Anyone having problems with career mode? It's changing locations before moto 2 and starting off in the first moto at the new location. Annoying AF

Are you skipping part of the event, like qualifying, or practice? If not, don't bother reading any further. If you are, there is a glitch with that, at least there was a glitch with PC. Instead of skipping you have to fast-forward time. You have to go to the pits and (on Xbox) use the right button (not trigger) to FF time to the end of practice/qualifying.

In career mode can you qualify to get a better gate pick?
Before you start the next round, in the main career menu select next race and then race options and change it to qualifying and races

Peely, just do it. It's the best game since Reflex, bar none. If you saw that YouTube review that was posted here last week, I can't add a damn thing to it, it was spot-on.

One tip: When you get it, go straight to "Pro" physics and then set it to "manual" shifting. Auto shifting runs too high RPM range, it's like you're bouncing off of the rev limiter the whole time, and it's hard to get traction. Set it to manual and a 450 actually feels like a 450 (same with a 250F).

Finally start to see a more active mulitplayer presence, I raced for about an hour the other night with no fewer than 6 riders on the gate. Fun stuff.

What buttons do you shift with??
I used L3 and R3 to shift in MXGP2 so I did not have to take my thumbs off the sticks. I have not tried to do this in the new game yet but I would think they would still let you.

Yeah R3 and L3 has always been my shifting preferences so that thumbs stay on analogs at all time.

Yea I was skipping half of practice and qualifying so that would probably explain it. Didn't kno you could fast forward time. thanks for the heads up on that.

2nd moto gate pick is based on qualifying. Is this how the GP's do it? If not, I can't understand how hard it is to have one real moto dude play the game and see all the flaws in the structure of the game. Same applies to the starting procedure/clutch. I get that designing tracks and physics takes time and are challenging to get right but the simple oversights are really annoying.

I like the game big improvement from mxgp 2, worth buying. Only beef i have is the start procedure you cant up shift gear 2 and dump the clutch? mxgp2 i was able to do it. Dont know why they changed it. Other than that game plays great and tracks are fun, most anyway. Milestone is doing a great job and will always get my support.

Yes you can, you just have to be on the gas to upshift. I back off the gate, then time it like alessi and hit the gas and upshift into 2nd/3rd

I just ordered a PS4 and MXGP3.

Any other games worth buying?

It would be cool if everyone posted their gamer name to meet up and do some racing on the game.

Anyone able to customize gear and bike and have it show up in career mode? I'm running a privateer setup and bought a bunch of goodies and it doesn't appear to be there when I show up to a race.

Loving the game. Best thing about 3 is you actually feel connected to the ground. Lots of traction. Lots of force feedback on Xbox giving you that feeling. Got my physical copy day 1 for Xbox One. There is some slowdown, though. What did the update released today do? I don't have Xbox live due to no high speed available so update at a friend's house.

My only complaints thus far are that I REALLY miss the zoom feature where you could zoom in the camera during gameplay. I prefer 3rd person zoomed all the way in, in the other MXGP games but the zoom feature is absent in this one. Sad 1st person feels really amazing though so may opt for that. But I prefer a 3rd person zoomed pretty far in. Milestone needs to up their camera customization for gameplay.

I think I'm okay with the speed of the game...and that's usually a big sticking point with me....but I'm glad it's not any faster because it feels like it's on the edge of being too fast too me. If I had a choice I would slow it back down a tad.

And lastly, the scrub actually works but weighting the outside peg with the right stick seems to be gone now. Kinda miss that. Still getting to used to everything.

But overall, man, this is a QUALITY title. Milestone is seriously putting THQ/Nordic/Rainbow to shame. This game is jam packed with so much authenticity, plays great, looks amazing and is just top notch.

Starts are still one glaring weakness in this game. For the life of me, I can't figure out why the devs (seemingly) put so little emphasis on this phase of the game. But, to answer your question, you have no control over your gearbox until the gate drops. You have to rev in neutral and click it into gear as soon as the gate drops. I'm hoping this was just an oversight, and that there's a patch coming to fix it.

The thing that REALLY turned me down was the fact that the R1 button is locked on rewind on PS4.

That is my clutch button!!! Anyone was able to reconfigure R1??

Hold front Brake and throttle and shift up. Let go of brake as gate drops you should be in 2nd. If you hit the gate before it drops it shifts you back into N.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Holding the clutch and shifting up does absolutely nothing.

I'm still trying to adjust to the game, honestly. I like what they have done for the most part but there are a few things I am concerned about. Overall, I think it is a pretty big improvement, though. I think it just needs to be tweaked now but the engine feels better now, for sure.

Honestly, it feels a little like....ummm...I hate to say this because I'm not sure it's a compliment...but it feels a little like MX Untamed. Untamed had good traction and the physics feel kinda like that. But much better. Untamed was okay but the scale was way off. That is something MXGP gets right for the most part. It's not floaty but sometimes I think the jumps do propel you up a little much in the realm of old MVA games. Glad the floatiness of early MXGP games is gone though.

Again, I am in the adjustment period. You can bang bars. Love that. Love the grounded feel. Absolutely love that and the force feedback. Scrubs, still working on. Game speed...still getting used to it. Camera...kinda upset about it. 1st person is amazing but I just like 3rd person zoomed in but the zoom feature is no longer there.

So adjusting to it right now. I'm glad you can actually scrub off the face off of jumps now but REALLY miss being able to weight the outside pegs in corners. When you do that now it makes you fall as it thinks you are trying to initiate a scrub.

Anyone know what the 6.5 GB update did on day two? I have to go to a buddy's house to download updates. The slowdown is pretty bad on Xbox One.

I have to say that to me they screwed up with the physics of the game big time!! Feels just like Atv vs mx games now as bike floats around and seems fake!! I loved the mxgp2 game as I thought the new one would be similar and was very wrong on that but to each their own and I'm gonna keep racing mxgp2 as other than a few aspects of it they did that one right as far as real feel of being on the seat of the bike and not feeling like a arcade game like this one does!! Again just my opinion and sure some love it to!! As long as it's racing motocross I'm down for sure!! Peace out

Can anyone that has 3 on PS4 confirm or deny if there is a zoom option for the third person gameplay camera in the PS4 version or has it been removed altogether for this iteration? Nowhere to be found one the One version, sadly.

I signed with a team in career. so its the team gear and bike from what I see? I dig the game. no idea what the update was today. I would like the track to get rougher and of course the start. stand next to a local race and there is more pop and power,lol. also I don't see a drought problem anytime soon.Silly
