It’s a complete mystery.
Online was trash for ps5 , guys just appeared out of nowhere. Tons of lag.
Steering sensitivity on min/low works best for me. Lets side to side swag coming out of turns.
Game slaps…. Took a few hrs playing time to start enjoying it - your setup definitely helped. Tweaked a few things to my liking and now having a blast. Just read your comment above about the kawi 250, that’s all iv ridden so far will have to try something else!!

I hate doing what I'm about to do... How does it compare to reflex, physics wise and track deformation wise. Just waiting for my hard copy to arrive.
I’m liking the Honda right now, Yamaha is slightly faster but I feel the Honda turns much better
It’s kinda apples to oranges, reflex is a fast paced mx game and this one is slower paced. You have to be way more deliberate about what lines you want to take and actually set up for them earlier instead of just mashing the sticks left or right. It took me a solid ten hours of playing to adjust, the first two or three hours I was wondering if I wasted my money 😆
It is light years ahead of any other console game on deformation though, I’d even say the deform is better than mx bikes imo
I ended up switching the wheelie assist to low and started running soft shock spring and medium fork springs, also went to low on steering sensitivity and low in air physics. seems to be even better now much less twitchy
Only info I could see was from the game description on the steam store was "The Fox Holeshot Edition gives you access to 5 exclusive Fox liveries, as well as access to MXGP TV* (*requires creation of a MyNacon account before 31/12/2027)"
250 or 450? Game is really good, I’m about 10 hours in. Set up seems to be crucial, even from track to track I’m having to adjust sag and stiffness. The ruts are insane, really rewards patience and throttle control, can’t just pull the trigger to the stops, like other moto games. Very impressed so far, you have to put the time in. I thought it was trash after the first hour.
250
Game looks like absolute dog shit. Terrible

It’s not.
Can you not make a character or just not make your own team / gather sponsors?
Pit Row
It’s 2026 and console mx games still look like this? Looks like the bike is mounted on a pole, rider looks weird when cornering, standing, or whatever position he’s in. MX Bikes looks light years better.
It doesn’t get much worse than this. Gameplay looks horrendous
I've put 5-6 hours into this game and the gameplay is phenomenal. It does some wonky things every now and then, but nothing game breaking. You really have to plan your lines, not just bomb every jump, and downshift coming into corners. The multiplayer portion of this game is straight broken though. Sometimes it work and sometimes it doesn't and there is no apparent reason why.
Not a lot of fun. Very basic, unfortunately.
What about the game do you find basic? I've found that terrain deformation actually works, shifting is important, you need to setup corners, and you can't just WFO over every jump. The bike setup really changes the characteristics of the bike. What else are you looking for that would make it not basic?
Have you played it?
Yes, I own it (bought the Fox holeshot edition or whatever its called.)
"Basic" was perhaps too harsh. "Needs a lot more polish" would be more fair, I suppose. And look, any motocross game is a win in my book -- if you make it, I am going to buy it and play it!
I was surprised you can't upgrade the bikes at all (or if you can, I have not found it and that is a problem unto itself.). I get you can tweak all of kinds of settings but I'm a middle aged dad. I just want to add some hop up parts and have a better bike
I also thought about it more and I play 3rd person view. I have seen videos on YouTube from 1st person view and it does look significantly different.
I will look up some settings (or if anyone has any they want to share, I'd appreciate it) and try it out. I am on a Honda 250.
Fyi I just got my mxgptv pass this morning. So if you were waiting, it should either be there now or it's on the way
Some setting talk on page 1
I think the key is the game is on a modern engine, from what I’ve learned via YouTube. Much easier to continue to evolve.
In general, I still don’t feel like any of the in-air bike physics, but then again, how do I know what a bike feels like 90 feet in the air.
