I'll admit I'm not a big fan of them bringing back a bunch of vehicles in the game but some kids might pick the game up and discover MX for the first time and decide they want to give the sport a try.
I don't watch many sports but I've played them enough on PlayStation that I know the team names whether it's NFL, MLB or NHL just from seeing the name of a city.
The point is that video games do work when it comes to introduce/bring new fans to a sport.
I mean if JMart was cool to sign the waiver to be in Encore...with zero compensation...why wouldn't his Father do the same knowing it is major promotion for his track?

I'm probably asking a bit too much. But hey, it's time!
You're not the only one hoping the game will be good.
I think we'll get a much better game engine this time. Hopefully something fresh and totally revamped. And not stuck 15 years in the past with any influences from Unleashed. Meh. Encore was simply not good. But I think the team can turn this around. I'm the eternal optimist so really hope they do.
Imagine if NHL came out with some bullshit dual sticks to control each hand, twist one while flicking the other, And your player sucked balls because you hadn't earned enough imaginery points to level up. and all that sort of gimmick shit thq used to throw at their regurgitated garbage physics.
Licenced games are nothing without fun physics, that pick up and play has to be addictive or it'll be like most of the other thq titles and become a waste of our hard earned money.
They could implement rear brake, shifting that actually works, sit dab button as well as tear off.
The last thing I want them to do is make it more pick up and play. In my opinion that is half the problem. MX is niche. Its not going to appeal to the masses regardless so you should make it for the hardcore fans.
Presentation wise, the series has done nothing for nearly 15 years. They could implement on screen running orders, commentary, rider stats...like podiums, holeshots...full race replays, Flaggers, pit board idea that was mentioned. The list goes on. What frustrates me is we are nearly 14 years since Unleashed and we don't have have the presentation and tuning ability we had previously in MCM2 or in the PS1 game EA Sports Supercross from freaking 1999. That's not trying!
There's no excuse for that lack of progression.
You don't play a car racing simulator with a hand held controller, why try it here?
At least get the physics right instead of wasting time on taunts, clutch boosts and tear off buttons.
I just don't think a game should be pick up and play and dumbed down just because on console. The aforementioned NHL series and the legendary Japanese title Fire Pro Wrestling are great examples of intuitive simulations that are still fun and somewhat accessible to new players but super deep and challenging to veteran hardcore players.

But it's cool, we can agree to disagree on what we want from a game.
Simcade with somewhat realistic physics but authentic with official license is what I want.
But as you said, no harm in people wanting different types of game styles.
I got within half a second of one his times once and was so pumped.

EZZA 95B Spodeboy! I wish you would've designed the 2017 SX Track Pack on Encore...
Thanks for the kind words. I paid close attention to MX vs ATV when it was first released in October of 2014. A bunch of us guys were able to chime in over at the now closed forum where a few of the dev's would communicate with us mere mortals. I thought they did a decent job of making the tracks. And the release of new tracks every so often kept me interested. I know the game has tons of flaws and everyone's opinion varies. But I was happy that at least something was released in the form of a SX game. Yup, wasn't REFLEX 2, but I have had a ton of fun racing online with the right guys. I still play Encore every few days online. XBOX ONE as OG SPODE MCM2...
