Slightly off topic, but do you enjoy making tracks for MESX as much as you did for MCM2? Do you wish there was more freedom than selecting items from a toolbox of premade obstacles?

As much? Hmm good question.

Let me first make clear that my motivation/intent is to try and duplicate the tracks we see the guys race. In both appearance and ridability. It can be very easy to duplicate the lines by spacing objects so far apart that in the game we are forced to double that or triple that but then you have this flat line between jumps. However when you look at the real track those jumps are spaced very close together in comparison. We are always trying to tame the bike in these games.

Trying accomplish this in MCM2 required hours upon ours of work in Photoshop in order to hand paint the displacement map. Object shape, height, transition vert, was all painstakingly done by hand. Being able to do this one thing good separated the real good guys from the rest. Guys like MIKE MACH, RON RON, TWISTED, MAUI COOL, DIZ_NO_REBASE etc. This in turn gave me a gnarly case of carpel tunnel. So bad that when I was still racing I had issues on hard landings. My right hand would grab a handful of throttle on my 450. Not fun. That's why I quit making tracks back then.

FF to today. I'd say it is more fun for me to do it this way for the one reason that it is simply easier. As this game has progressed the editor has been updated and made it easier for us to create realistic looking/riding tracks.

So when this version came out I have to admit I yelled at my TV more than a few times in question as to why they would go backward with the editor? One question why not duplicate every object used through out the season? Split lane jumps, Elevated step on/off turns, etc.

I really am thankful to Milestone for making these games. But I hope they listen to us too. They have in the past so we'll just have to see.

Man, I used to thoroughly enjoy riding all of the Supercrooss tracks you made for MCM2 back in the day! The amount of hours I had in that game, and the longevity your tracks gave the game is immeasurable! Glad to have the opportunity to thank you for it here on this forum!!

I haven't really enjoyed a Motocross game since the MCM2 days to be honest. I have MES2 but really don't play it, however after hearing your comments and review on the game I will give it another try.

I throw in my first impressions 2 cents. Spent 5 hours last night racing and trying out the track creator.

RACING:
The bad. The bike feels way lighter maybe too light. You can now quad stuff out of the turns. The jumping characteristics have gone away from the more weighted and predictable feel of the last two MES games and are now resembling the MX ALL OUT bikes. They bounce super high and super fast. They fall back down to earth in the same way. A consistent feel between the jump combos has been lost. These things all take away from the realism factor. A negative for me personally. The tough blocks are still a little too tough. Not at slow speed but at any speed out of 1st gear. It would be nice to be able to ride along side them, clip them coming out of a turn etc with out being blown off like an IED.


The good. The counter weight steering is finally gone. In MES 2 you had to carefully yank the right stick to the opposite direction of the turn you intend to make. This had to be done perfectly in order to rail the berm and maintain speed. This one thing kept the bike from handling nearly perfect. Good riddance to that. This bike can corner way tighter, rail berms, point and shoot, all very well. And I think this one improvement is what we are all experiencing when we say this game is a lot of fun. Because it is. The acceleration is also improved (cause it's lighter?). Wheelies are better. Braking is better.

THE EDITOR
The bad. Can't reverse the direction of the obstacles any more, harder to switch between obstacle categories as now you have to exit each category then choose the new one etc. You can't just shuffle through open categories side by side. The courser goes back to the start when you change the categories. It is much harder now to drag an obstacle around the track that is already been partially built and place it over other objects. That object jockeys back and fourth two small spaces and does not want to drop exactly where it needs to be. So you have to delete from where you have built all the way back to the intended modification. When negotiating at the edges of the track you hit an invisible objects? every Finish line has a 30 foot flat apron before the transition disallowing creators to place objects closer to the finish? WHY WHY WHY? No split lane jumps. No elevated jump on/off turns stuff we been asking for since MES 1. I SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE THOUGHT BEHIND ALL OF THIS. Why offer a new version of a game that has more limitations than even the 1st edition? This was supposed to the the "unlimited editor".

The good Clicking around is smoother. The menus are faster. The whole thing loads faster. Sand sand sand everywhere you want it! A lot of new objects. Objects visually resemble the real thing looking very peaky etc. Editor bike sounds like a 2 stroke.


MILESTONE PLEASE READ THIS.

If you weight & and slow the bike just a tad, slow down the freaky jump bounce action, bring the consistency in handling in the jump combos back, fix all that stuff in the editor you will have released the product that should be.

So as I've mentioned a few thousand times I can only really play with one toggle.. Can I ask someone to give it a go with one toggle to see if it's possible to play 'decently' with these new jumping options? I don't wanna download it to then find out I can't play it haha
What I did with 2 was make my left toggle steering as well as leaning forward and back.. I had to also make X gas and square brakes and that's pretty much my only choice

I apologize if this has already been asked, but has anyone had issues in 450 career mode winning or finishing on the podium, but the results immediately show you in 17th or even last? This has happened 3 races in a row to me. Thoughts?

Yeah the corny boot camp races gotta go, basically career is just like a championship mode except you get to change your gear between races

Can confirm that -5 on the rear settings and the front at 0 has the bike work way better in the whoops and seems to help keep momentum up in rhythm sections!

They REALLY need to add an option to eliminate rain from career or championship.

On the 2ND 450 season in San Diego, every single race has been downpour except Glendale. Not wet track after rain, but raining during qual, heat and main... for all except one.

Sweet Jesus lol

I'll keep the tuffblocks of satan to race a sweet track dry.
