Played some multiplayer last night and had a blast. I will say, I think when they fix the game it’ll be a lot better

I wonder why SHIFT gear and SPY goggles are not in this game. You would think with FOX would come SHIFT. Also I don’t get how they have VIRAL goggles but not SPY....cmon now Dizzy Also what’s up with the 10 character “nickname” limit? Do people not have last names longer than 10 characters? I’d be kinda pissed if I couldn’t put my last name on the back of the jersey to be honest, glad my last name is only 6. And when were the names on the back of jerseys called “nicknames?”

Lol. Yeah, I'm a broke record at times, no question. But yeah, I know some of the people at Milestone know of me.

I, honestly, just appreciate them making such a commitment to our sport...especially with AMA Supercross... and doing it right, or at least what I think is right by focusing on replicating the actual sport we see at the races each week.

I'm passionate for sure so please forgive my ramblings at times. I'll try to not repeat myself as much. Smile
Nah man. I'm just messing around with you. I like reading your write ups. You have brand loyalty. There's nothing wrong with that.

I'm the same way about Alclair ears; https://alclair.com/ .. check them out and if you need new ears; tell Amy I sent you. They're excellent. Laughing

Even though it doesn’t effect me, it bothers me, because somewhere somebody was lazy with games code, and could’ve wrote the code to where if your name is 18 character long, the font will decrease in size. Or they could’ve at least made the correct decision in making the limit “14” or something. 10 is just too short for a lot of people. I understand this is the first “Supercross authentic” game we have gotten in a looong time, but another thing they messed up on was sponsor graphics.

Why must it take up the entire bike? And why is it 2018 and there isn’t a “Custom Graphic Creator” mode, where you can go in and customize/create every little decal on the bike, like you would create “liveries” in FORZA. You could make thousands upon thousands of different logos, colorways, designs, all created with shapes and lines, like in FORZA. Then we could have a “‘Graphics Marketplace” where people could share and sell their designs to people. You could even pay people to create you really good graphics for your bike if they were good at it. That would just open up so much creativity for the game.

Edit: What’s up with being able to move and change size of the side plate numbers, when you can’t move or delete the AMA and FIM decals, that look out of place, once you do move the number decals on the plate? That’s just another “little thing” that has me shaking my head.

Now, obviously I understand that the “Custom Graphics Creator” would probably be something we wouldn’t see until another game release, so even though I am let down on that end, I will point out that racing multiplayer online races last night was an absolute BLAST! The gameplay is fun. If they could just get all the small things right, it could be perfect. I swear they need to get a bunch of us moto nuts in there before they start creating a game, and we could all create a massive list of all the “small things” that are needed. Rant done. Hope to see your boys out on the track tonight Cool I’ll be on my 18 desert Camo Graphics KX450F Smile

Right on, man. I honestly just appreciate that Milestone go the extra mile and get the licensing and make it as authentic as possible. If you look at my favorite games, well, MES stands on top now quite easily, but after that I would say EA Supercross 2000 and EA Supercross and the MXGP series. So it's not just Milestone, it's companies who get the full licensing and replicate what we see and watch at the races each Saturday. That's what means something to me.

Sadly, I can confirm that the switch version has slower AI than the other versions. I did this buying timing the AI in my version and comparing lap times to AI in the youtube videos. I still really like the game, but hopefully they are able to update the AI in all versions.

I noticed no SHIFT as well, or Alias gear, or SPY goggles. Not only is Alias MX Gear not an option to purchase, the Honda Factory Connection team guys team Alias gear is blank Red with only Factory Connection & Amsoil logos.

None of the MXGP games has ever had SHIFT, only Fox.

I assume this is because Fox only paid for themselves, and Alias & Spy didn't pay whatever it costs to be represented in the game.

Some of the European gear company options are merely carry overs from the MXGP games.

Gear is not a problem for us with the PC version since there will be mods.

I know that feel bro. It's because you're on stock tires. Buy some decent ones and you'll be getting a good start.
The easiest way to start is hold it wide open with the brake in. Once the gate drops let off the brake and rip the holeshot.

Does the AI seem better at some tracks than others to any of you? I do feel like the AI has gotten better the more I play. It is still no where near where I would like it to be.

Yeah definitely. The AI 450s are actually decent on a few tracks. I’ve finished the East, West and 450 championships now. Milestone’s servers were messed up last night so I just played offline so it wouldn’t hang up while trying to sync to their servers.

I am on PS4 pro with a physical copy and I’m loving the game. I don’t have any camera glitches or frame rate issues that I can think of.

I'm on a PS4 with a digital copy also. I love the game and if they can make the AI harder I will be an addicted to this game for a long time.

I'm on PS4 Disk copy. I finally got about 2 hours yesterday to play the game, and it had so many issues. Firstly, the load times to navigate in between menu screens were insane. The tracks loaded faster than the menu options.

I decided to to do the career mode, and started with 250 West. When I selected it, it had me pick my bike, rider, gear, ect. . . though when I went to go do a race, I was just stuck in that screen. I could select different options, and click on them, though there was no response. So I ended up having to go to the PS4 Home Screen and shutting the game down.

After launching the game again, it did the exact same thing! It was at that point that I realized that the bike was a 450, so I closed the app again, and went back in, and cleared my career history. When I went back in to the 250 West, I was on a 250.

After that, I kept getting these errors that said I was unable to connect to server data base, or something along those lines. Though the game played fine.

The biggest complaint is the load times though. I shouldn't have to wait for sometimes up to two minutes to switch in between menu options. The game play itself is good though.

played again last night for about 30 minutes, didn't even get to the main event because the gay load screens and having to reset my playstation. fuckin bullshit. whatever you do, don't accidentally click on the OPTIONS link on the main screen... holy shit that was a good 5 minute mistake.

that said, i switched to manual transmission and talk about a complete difference. i don't know how i ever played with auto tranny. took me a bit to get used to it, but you don't have to shift very often and if you shift how you would in real life it actually works. stoked on that. now if i could only play the fucking piece of shit game for longer than 10 minutes without restarting then i'd be happy. big ol' authentic fuckin' turd.

i read on FB today that they pushed a patch out to PC but i didn't see anything about PS4 or XBone. anyone confirm?

2/16/2018 8:16am
I sent in a support ticket and they responded by saying that they're working around the clock on a patch for the day one issues and apologized for the problems. So at the very least, they are trying.

It has been a rough launch, but I'm happy about the fact that I enjoy the gameplay enough to have fun just running time attack until some of the other issues are resolved.

Anyone playing with an automatic transmission and not in first person is missing out on the true experience these games deliver. Like you said, you don’t need to shift much so it isn’t difficult.

To those that only have a few minor issues, are you online? Not specifically racing online, but is your system logged into PSN or the XBOX equivalent? I'm wondering if a majority of these issues are related to Milestone's servers and/or some sort of connection issue, and if logging out of PSN and going totally offline might solve some of them until a patch is released. Even when racing single player, if your system is connected to the internet it still uploads data(or tries to) like your lap times, etc to their servers. I'm going to try logging out of PSN tonight, and see if that helps any. Hopefully it will allow me to play without crashing/freezing up. Obviously there are some issues that are completely unrelated, like the inability to leave a Single Player Championship once it's started and having to close the application, because going back to the Main Menu isn't even an option, the ridiculous load times, and a few other things.

Milestone is still a relatively small company in gaming terms. They are working on it. That is all anyone can ask for. I haven't had many issues but I know a lot have. Let's try to be patient.

Also, I know the clutch doesn't do a lot but I'll take that any day over the nitro clutch some games stick us with. Careful what you wish for. Developers often go from one extreme to the other.

As excited as I was about this game I can honestly say that it has exceeded my expectations. Bugs can be fixed. And they are working on it. I'm excited to have such a thirough Supercross gaming experience. Smile

Just finished my first 250W career and wow I had like 4 points on AP coming into Vegas, then the damn rain came. My privateer kx250 is all upgraded but I could not hold the leaders off in the long straights in the rain. AP and I got stuck mid pack but I needed to stay in front for the title. So mid race Im making progress to the front and figure they are AI and AP is behind me, pffff I got this! Then, Savatgy crashes in the corner ahead of me and I had no where to go. AP and like 3 others passed me. Craaaaap. I panicked trying to catch AP and he was ripping like me and got the lead. I friggen lost the title by one point haha! I couldn't have planned a #Vegas2017 this good. Felt like back in the days of MCM1 and 2 with all the gaming I did in my youth. I really hope Milestone gets there act together because there are little gems of gameplay in this game. Hope you guys get a chance too.

Does the AI seem better at some tracks than others to any of you? I do feel like the AI has gotten better the more I play. It is still no where near where I would like it to be.
I smoked everyone at St. Louis last night (250 East series). I won by 26 seconds and lapped all the way up to 7th, and this was with all settings maxed-out. I just finished round 6. Chaz has won 3 rounds, Osborne has won 1, Jordan Smith has won 1, and I've won 1. You'd think the points would be pretty tight, huh? Nope. I actually have the red plate, and have a 28 point lead.

The problem with Milestone's career mode is (and always has been) the fact that the AI is terribly inconsistent. Take Chaz for instance. Here's a character who won three rounds in dominating fashion, I mean walked off with the races. He has failed to make the night show for two other races. WTF? This same scenario played out in all of the MXGP games. You think you're about to have a competitive series battle with a rider, and he suddenly falls off the face of the earth.

When I was playing F1, there were series where myself and another driver (or drivers) would battle out for the entire season. The AI was actually "I". I can accept a rider crashing out of a race, and not scoring points, but failing to qualify? After you've been dominating? Nah. While it has some warts, I really like the game, and I've been a fan of Milestone's efforts since MXGP1, but come on. This is a reoccurring theme. If this thing is supposed to be realistic, then lets make it realistic. If the guys at Codemasters can do it, then the devs at Milestone should be able to do it.

Seconded.

I have a hard time playing the game in third person – you really see the flaws in the physics, interaction with other riders, stiffness of your own rider, etc. But, when you put it in first person the game really comes to life. They really nailed the speed feeling and the first person battles are a shit ton of fun.
