Can you win fans and money in exhibition races?

I've played 21 hours of career (MX) and can get no more than 107,000 fans - not one soul more! So, I am PERMANENTLY blocked. Ridiculous.

Not the compound owner, mechanic, the social media girl - no body - will come back to speak to my ass until I reach 120,000 fans. So I'm done with *career* gameplay. Not fun, IMO.

If a decent amount of in-game credit 'money' is not periodically given in exhibition races for the better finishes you manage to make (along with 13,000 fans! to open tracks for me beyond the FIRST BLOCK of them in MX), I can let this game go today. I have many unopened games, so...

I don't expect quickplay to be a path to fans/credits progression, but cannot exhibition racing be (?)

I just played my first exhibition race and did poorly [in it] so I figured I got nowhere for basically losing :( ...but has anybody out there, in here, played this game fully (all the very expensive DLC potentially open/not locked to the buyer) without doing so in career mode?

I spent a fortune on this game before I 'sobered up' and SHUT my whoring wallet. All those bike packs. Jeez! Big mistake.

So exhibition races do NOT pay in Motocoin wages (for wins) or any increases in FANS?

You should be earning in-game currency when completing any competitive event type (races, freestyle, etc.). And you should be earning it in any mode as long as the event is completed; Online, Exhibition, Career, and Series.

All the items marked as DLC/Add-on can only be unlocked with real-money purchases in the store. If you think some items are missing, we can help. First, we'd recommend checking that the DLC purchased are enabled in the DLC tab of the game Properties.

You can also unlock more gear, parts, and tracks by playing in Series mode. It's like career, but without any of the story components.

Thank you for that information. I will try to to get my fan numbers up outside of Career. I will try Exhibition. I need to widen my choices of tracks to find some easier ones I can do better on. With better finishes on easier tracks I can get over the hump.

13,000 people have already made up their minds about fandom and me! I want to interact with the story elements in Career, so I am hoping that in Exhibition I can crack that 120,000 fan number.

I have most of the bikes but not enough motocoin to make them any better than the Squid AI. I'm in the first block of races in Career and cannot do any better than I have, even as I enter into the 20+ hours point. The tracks are wild wild wild (exciting and, well, scary!).....and I crash too often on about 1/4th of them (?). I come in late on the SAME harder ones and I gain no new fans or motocoin to speak of.

I see alot of locked content ahead of me, tracks and upgrade parts.

Thank you all for these answers.

I want to be clear: you can earn the Motocoin currency in all game modes, but Fans can only be earned in Career.

If you want to increase your fan count, you can also race in the ATV and UTV careers. Placing better in past events will also increase your fan count.
If the career is proving difficult, please check your career difficulty in the Gameplay settings menu. It's known that even at lower difficulties, some of the AI can still be competitive on specific tracks.

Lastly, look around the community for some preferred tuning setups, explore what feels good to you.

We hope this helps!

What is the advantages of being in Career in terms of a story.....your personal identity as a career man in the three sport(s), so to speak?
