I’ve been playing for the last few days and have recorded probably 5 or 6 situations where I hit a random invisible wall, pothole, etc.

Since this game is an “exact replica” of the 2017 MXGP season, did they put out boobie traps on the tracks that year? Just curious.

And the Audio fucking blows. When you are riding in a pack of riders you might as well mute the TV. Makes playing with manual shifting a pain.

Before I hear “you need to play more to stop the random crashes” I’ll have you know I’m in the top 10 on almost every track on the game. And honest to god probably have the most time played on all the Milestone games.

The boobie traps? While I will admit, there are a couple times that I fall where I think “..what..?” I feel a patch will work the kinks out. Other times you might be leaning too much, giving too much gas, not enough gas, cross rutting, etc.

If you are not completely destroying the AI then you are not skilled at the game by a longshot. I play extreme career and win every race but their are people way better than me. Smile

Nah man. Definitely not trolling. I have a bitchin Samsung sound bar that sounds incredible with every other game I’ve ever played. It’s definitely the game. It’s only horrible when you are next to other players or towards the end of the gears.

And believe me, when I was saying top 10 on every track, meant overall in the world. I am completely destroying the AI and could probably smoke you.

Not sure why everyone sticks up for milestone? It’s great that we are getting moto games consistently, but for example, if you buy NBA games every year, or madden, there isn’t NEARLY the amount of glitches or issues milestones game consistently have. Just kinda shitty how we’ve learned to accept the glitches and shitty game production because they are the only good MX game developers right now.

Why don’t we hold them to a higher standard? It will only get us better games in the long run. If our community was like the call of duty community, milestone would be long gone by now.
You need to resinstall you game bro. My bike(s) sound nice revving out in 3rd/4th. Only audio complaint is you can hardly hear other people bikes online. Drop that gamer tag so we can smoke you tho :p

I really like the game. The whips are not great and the track deformation needs some work, but I think it's the best Milestone MX game so far. I played MX-simulator a lot back in the days, so Milestone is unable to impress me with the "realism", but it's okay. It's realistic enough that you really need to concentrate, but arcade-ish enough that you can play it after a few beers and still do good in it.

8/10.

Haha my GT is ClappedOutAss69.

I rarely play online so this should be interesting! I stopped playing online in MES because the tuff blocks. If I get a chance let’s do some ripping tonight!

I'm sure this has been asked a bunch of times in here , but this thread is huge.

But on bike mod's.....when you earn enough money to buy exhaust , suspension , brakes ect......do they actually do anything to the bike? It didn't seem like my stock Kawi 450 went any faster , or felt any different. It also doesn't show any of those hop-up's on my bike when I push the back button , back to the main screen to race. Hmm? Maybe tonight I'll try a factory 450 and see if that's any different compared to my stocker.

I used cheatengine to give myself 10mil credits. Like fuck am I grinding through career to buy a PC exhaust that costs as much as buying a whole bike in game. Stupid!
So do the high dollar parts for the bike do anything? And why can't we see the parts we buy on the bike in the main screen? It's almost as if , when I push the back button to get back to the main screen , it starts subtracting all the parts off my bike or something.

Other games....you usually notice hop up parts. This one I can't , or I'm doing something wrong?

I don't get to put as much time into these games as I used to and would like to so I haven't even played every track yet, but my time on Leon on a 250 was ranked 5th. I think I'm down to 9th or so now.

Also, after seeing the customer Stewart setup above, I feel like I need to invest in a PC so i can customize everything.

Can someone please give me some tips on how to keep my rear tire from sliding out from under me on every turn before I throw my controller through a window?

Keep some load on the motor but don't go full throttle until you've completed the turn. You'll get a feel for it and will be able to eventually rail a lot of corners wide open but some tracks have slippery spots where you can't crack the throttle wide open. It irritated me at first as well but I've now gotten use to it. I think they went a little overboard with this part of the physics but it is what it is.

Also, with the right stick in tight turns push the stick forward to weight the front end rather than left or right.

This game feels totally different to me. I was able to get wins on the most difficult settings on all of the other MXGP games within the second or 3rd round. I've yet to crack the top 10 6 rounds into the season on this one.

I'm having the same issue as billtom, I cannot stop sliding out. Very frustrating, but i'm also happy about it. Id rather have a game where I struggle for awhile than to be getting wins and bored with it in 2 days.

Generally a couple of clicks + on the suspensions settings for hard pack and - on the settings for sand (read what the track is described to be, rather than what it looks to be).

Higher gears, mostly 3rd and 4th (edit: for 450).

Gentle throttle (trigger) control. Try and keep your momentum going in and and softly, softly (off and on) feed on out - sort of how you might in real life.

Spend 30 mins at least on each track learning the lines and getting the feel.

Each to their own but I personally only use my left lever for turning.

I posted suspension settings a few pages back. Give those a try. And like others said, about half throttle through the turns until you really get out of it. I'm still on the 250 in extreme career mode and haven't spent much time on the 450, but i usually downshift to 1st or 2nd going into a turn and shift to 3rd in the apex to eliminate the overrev and sliding.

Here's what I have for the 250. I havent put much time on the 450 as I'm going through the extreme career in depth. I want to learn both bikes and get everything out of this game so I dont get bored with it. The numbers I have are how far off they are from the default setup (the middle of the scale)

Preload front: +2
Preload rear: +4
Fork
Low speed compression: -2
High speed compression: +2
Low speed extension: -2
High speed extension: +2
Single shock absorber
Low speed compression: +2
High speed compression: +2
Low speed extension: +1
High speed extension: +3
Springs front: +2
Springs rear: +3

These seem to work well on the hard pack tracks and I dont slide out near as much. The only other thing I use is the long wheelbase and high gear ration for valkenswaard and lommel
Thanks much brother!1

I’ve been riding the YZ450f and on the sand tracks you just hold the throttle wide open every where and just use the clutch in the turns. Might not be the fastest but it is so damn fun.

No problem! I also feel like with this game that settings might work different for different people. All depending on how you ride. I've really been taking my time with this game and learning it and that's what I love about it. I'm still doing the 250 extreme career since you have to do full weekends on it. I absolutely suck at Ernee. I don't know what it is about that track. I just can't do it. I got halfway through moto 1 and just retired from the whole vent. Still had a big enough points lead where I didn't drop from 1st though.

Dude me too! I hate Ernee! I think it’s the tight corners and off camber stuff. This game has started to train me that’s when to slow down and that whole track is full of it so idk when i can go fast ??

Can anybody tell me if the new MXGP game online lobby is the same as MXGP3 as to where you can only see sessions that are waiting for host to start or players to join? MXGP3 is terrible as where you can't see or join active sessions. Did they fix this for the new one?

Anyone else having trouble bringing back the scrubs consistently. A lot of the times it seems to overcorrect or at least not give me much control in how far I bring it back. Most of the times this leaves me flying off the track. Maybe I'm missing something?

man i don't even try to scrub anymore. i haven't since i bought the game day 1. it really seems to save you no time and more often than not it just throws you off your rhythm.

if you don’t want to slide out...push forward on your right stick and don’t keep holding left or right with the left stick once you’re rear wheel slides out. you’re falling in corners because you’re continuing to hold left or right through the corner, not because your wheel is power sliding. once the bike is pitched, you don’t have to hold the left stick to whatever side your turning through the entire turn. just make little adjustments.

Does it sound like some of the bike sound is missing or silent for a split second? Because the sounds went from awesome to shit last time I played, like its a bug or something didn't load right.

The skins are rad, I love the Stewart KX but for some reason the KX is my least favorite 125 in the game even though it was my favorite in MXGP3. The Shift/Gieco black gear is sick. Which skins are you using @Motofinne?

I’ve also been putting my best lap times on the TC125 which have been close to the top 10 leaderboard 450 times on some of the tracks on PC. Racing the top ghost is pretty fun.

My only complaint is the scrub animation is kinda goofy, wish it was more Stewart/Guillod like. The terrain deformation isn’t that bad - you have to play the longer motos for it to matter. Either way, it’s fun to play while I’m waiting on parts for my YZ.

Finally pulled the trigger and got this game Friday. Could not really justify it after MES being a very short lived game for me as well as having All Out. But good god im glad i got it.

And im also glad i read everything on here before getting it because i would've had to buy a new TV and controller as well if i didnt know better. Very frustrating the first few hours, but now on race 6 or so in career (Chose standard, but with full weekend and maxed out because i started extreme and the option to use manual gearbox was locked?)

anyways, what a freaking awesome MX gaming experience. Im not even close to good yet but getting a hang of the throttle control and line selection etc and im finally just winning races (barley) against medium AI...

Key things that have helped me is a lot more shifting then before. Use engine braking instead of the actual brakes. Figure out the tracks, each bump can throw you off. Stick to your lines.

So rad. First person is a must. Such a great representation of racing.

The only thing that i would like changed is the freight train AI that has been there since MXGP 1... The whole pack wheel to wheel almost the entire race. But might be what makes it challenging, that they never really go off their very well programmed line?

Either way. Great stuff. If it was any harder than this id throw it away as quick as i did MXsim 10 years ago. Cant spend hours and hours every day to figure out how to go forward. This is a great mix of being just hard enough that you need to be on your toes but not insane.

Overall id say its a 6 beer game, where MXGP3 was a 24 beer game before not being able to go decently fast.

Anyone have this for PS4? Is it better than All Out trash? I call it trash because 1. It's too floaty, and 2. you still can't do private lobbies because they show up in public lmao

I honestly like them both. All Out is a little floaty but it’s improved a good bit since release and they say they will keep patching. MXGP is pretty good as far as career it’s fairly easy even on hardest difficulty once you get the game figured out. The ai is better in MXGP than in All Out, but still to easy but the riders finishing results make more sense.

I only play offline so I can’t answer how the online works. I believe All Out is supposed to fix online issues with the next patch. I think All Out has a more aggressive terrain deformation with ruts that actually have an affect on the track not as much in MXGP. In MXGP you can ride across ruts but some tracks do breakdown a little better than others and the better ones you can kinda use them.

I’d say it’s worth buying. The perfect game would be the best parts of both games. I have every mx game made for pretty much every system they ever had one for. But these two I play on ps4.

I don’t get this game. I can’t lean at all with my rider or else he crashes. I can’t rail berms on the outside because he crashes. I just don’t get it. Several hours in now and still can’t get it.
