I know i'm trash but....

Ok well laugh at me all you want, but i needed to say this......i just completed a race on career mode on vey easy btw.....and over a full race distance i got lapped......and i was really thinking ok i'm not great but "very easy"? come on harsh or what.....

So i was looking down through the list of competing teams....and i noticed all other teams said they were 250's but mine is a 125?, ok i get it's lighter but with half the available cylinder capacity......of course my bike can't compete fairly can it?.............my question is why is my Garda 125 even competing against these other bikes?.............no wonder i got lapped right?

yeah, this is an oversight by milestone, its actually typical for them at this point. I enjoy there games, but enjoy ridiculing them openly on their own forums too.

its ridiculous that we cannot set up a 125/250 2s race... instead we get to race a 125/250 against the 4-stroke class, no other options.

milestone is genuinely a joke on many fronts.

2-stroke engines are always half the volume of 4-strokes one and they compete in the same category.

125cc 2-stroke competes with 250cc 4-strokes.
250cc 2-stroke competes with 450cc 4-strokes.

That's how it has always been in all previous games too.

I do agree about the difficulty though. On some tracks I destroy the Very Easy AI and get a good 10 seconds ahead of second place, on others I can't even get in first place. The difficulty is all over the place and seems completely random.

this is a 10 year old rule. 250s and 125s no longer compete in a single race, unless its MX or scramble special. the power bands are so different in the 2 classes because technology has advanced so much on 4s motors, that 125s struggle to compete. its not so much about overall power, since 125s actually make double the usable torque, its actually about traction. Super cross course design has changed a lot in the past 10-15 years, the shapes of the jumps and whoops have changed to accommodate a new kind of bike and level of performance, and in this sense the 125's REALLY struggle to keep up with the 250's on the BIG supercross tracks.

now you can take those bikes to a Motocross track, an outdoor scramble, or a desert race, and those differences wont be as noticeable and there are ways to reasonably tune the bikes to compensate to be highly competitive. this also applies in general for 250 2s bikes as well.

I race pro-am for fun, and have several buddies who are actual profession mx riders, and this is what the designers/developers of this game are ignorant to in terms of being able to set up a proper series with these 2s bikes.

in any SX throwback race, its only 2s vs 2s, or only specific year and powerlevel 4s's are allowed.
