Has anyone come up with a good controller scheme for the xbox? shifting with x and b makes it harder to lean for me.
L3 for upshift and R3 for downshift. Clicking analogs works great and you keep your thumbs on stocks at all times. I've being preaching this since MXGP 1. Smile

The KTM is just too good not to ride it. It revs way quicker and doesn't bog. I tried a few different brand 2 strokes, KTM for sure the best and I'm a Honda guy technically.

Even in semi auto trans you can override that by shifting manual if you want. It will shift down auto matic on its own. Try it. I like it better than straight manual trans.

Bought this game tonight. Wish I hadn't. It's got potential but the lack of two player offline play is a joke. Unless I'm doing something wrong? Bought it to play with my boys but multiplayer only available online. This is very stupid a a huge drawback.

Also, the time it takes to load a game is also a joke. I mean it's like 1-2 minutes you just sit there waiting and waiting for the game to load.

I've played a lot of games and this is one I wish I could get my money back on. I guess niche games can get away with this garbage but large community supported games would never tolerate this crap.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Thanks. I'm coming from MX vs ATV Encore, so I have MXGP3 set up on semi-pro with manual rider weight distribution and manual shifting since I'm already used to those, but I can't find a button I like for the rear brake. I like L2 for the front but can't find anything for the rear that doesn't feel awkward. I'm just wondering if I'm at a disadvantage by running semi-pro instead of pro. My semi-pro setting looks the same as the pro setting except for the dual brake setup. I didn't know if there might be any other differences that you would experience or "feel" the bike do that weren't listed, like some sort of more realistic physics or something.
I use L2 for the front brake and X for the rear brake. Up shift with D and down with O. Everything is right there so your only real movement on the controller is from the front brake L2 to clutch L1. This is what I like, haven't had a reason to try anything else.

I mentioned the disappointment of lack of split screen earlier in this thread. Bought it and an additional controller to play with my dad, never thought it wouldn't have offline multiplayer. It is certainly a joke.

Also, Glen Helen being unplayable due to frame rate lag is a joke as well. Anyone know if they fixed that yet?

Hi Everyone,
I think I have some great setup Tips to share with you...
Please try them and let me know what you think.
Firstly, the Controls. Forget about "Automatic". Manual is the only way to go.
With the bike in Auto, it wastes so much time. The bike sits on Redline far too long. Rather than hooking the next gear just as it hits Redline. It's like it can't think what to do. It doesn't know if you're coming onto a straight or about to hit the Brakes to go into a corner.
Even if you think it is difficult, once you get the hang of it it's a far better experience.
Yes the factory configuration sux.
Button placement is not good. Feels unatural. I especially don't like the fact that I have to take my thumb of the right stick. Put it down onto the correct button then move it back up onto the "Rider Lean" stick. When you use "Pro" physics. You want to have your thumbs on both sticks at all times for continuous control.
So... I change my Controller to (R3=Gear Up) and (L3=Gear Down). Gears can now be shifted while both thumbs stay on the Sticks. Note: You can't button mash anymore but don't worry. You get better anyway because you are more conscious of your thumb movements.
Next up is "Rear Brake". Also when using "Pro Physics" it automatically splits the Front and Rear Brakes between two buttons. Front Brake stays at "L2" and Rear brake goes to maybe "Circle"?
I can't remember, because it also sucks.
Still don't like removing my Right Thumb off that "Lean" stick, it's far too important for continuous control. And it would also mean you can't "Lean Inward or Outward" whilst coming into the corner and using "Rear Brake". So dumb.
Ok so where else can "Rear Brake" go then? There's only one place left and it's actually the most perfect place for it to go...
(R1=Rear Brake). Let's think about it...
You come flying into a corner with some extremely "Late Braking" (the fastest way).
The last thing you are going to be doing is accelerating (R2=Accelerator).
So all you need to do is move your finger slightly from R2 to R1 then back onto R2 with a dab of L1.
L1 because you'd only ever slide the rear on a very tight corner. With a rut or berm is great when you can slide the rear wheel into it. Then as you are pulling away..
R3...R3.......R3....L2 L3.L3.then R1 to slide that back into the hairpin rut.
Now....
This is the tricky (and stupid) bit...
The developers have programmed R1 for "Chat" and it is locked there
Can you explain how you were able to reconfigure R1 button?

On PS4 it is locked as the (stupid) replay/rewind.

Hey, yeah no worries.
You need to go into "Accessibility" in the PlayStation "Settings".
Go to "Button Assignments".
Swap the Square (or any other button)
with R1.

I think they need a Vital section on MXGP3 so you can take someone out and have a thread popup.

Finished both seasons on 250 and 450s. I'm hooked. Takes both seasons to get your guys attributes close to maxing out. And it makes a huge difference in gameplay. I seen people above talking about braking and etc but it completely changes as you progress. The Maggoria MXDN is actually a good track with some fun elavation to it. Just put both seasons in or atleast make sure you stats are about maxed before making final judgment.

2 things they could fix is the tracks could be more technical and have bigger jumps. The other is the cutter lines. You can ride outside some sections like no tomorrow. So don't put to much weight into the lap time leaderboards.

for all that may be on the fence, jump. I have been a hardcore reflex user on the old xbox, i picked up a ps4 just for mxgp 3 and sure am happy about it. It is more challenging then relex by a mile, moto on.
