how to get better at this game

[Dhaneen]

i have been playing this game for 2 weeks now and i can say i only improved a little. how do you guys manage to control the bike specially at the curve/apex? i see some streamer who are very good at this game.

i think the steering control using controller is too sensitive for keeping inline

[Vanrayne]

I play it on a controller and you need to learn how to move a stick to a certain angle and keep it there (not just flick it) + a very smooth stick moving. it require some practise to get used to it but it is doable. Also a tip would be that you need to attack a curve far earlier then when you are driving a car, also changing directions are far slower so you need to take that into consideration.

turn in early, keep your speed, good lines are about trajectory, control comes from finesse and smoothness, you press in toward the direction you want to go and release and press slowly and consistently.

also try simulation mode, its the easiest imo to control steering, but you also need to feather the throttle more on powerful bikes

For a new player a small improvement over a couple of weeks isn't that bad. Many have been playing (the Ride series) for years and still find ways to improve.

As a new player I wouldn't just leap onto the fastest bikes on difficult tracks and expect to have competitive times - you're sure to just get frustrated that way.

I'd suggest that you practice in time trial on low powered, easier to control bikes, on short, easier to learn tracks, until you crash less, regularly improve on your own times and are more consistent (laps say within a second or so of each other), then try with slightly more powerful bikes or different tracks.

Also use the recommended ghost option to give you someone of slightly better skill to follow and try to beat and there's no shame either in using the riding aids to help until you no longer need them.

I find that finer movement can also be achieved by moving the controller stick diagonally as opposed to horizontally - I also push the stick from the sides a lot rather than have my thumb on the top, though that might just be me as I'm clumsy and not particularly quick compared to a lot of players...

I'll teach you.

Point 1.
Set clutch to Manual.
Downshift by yourself.
(If you ever drive a motorcycle in real, you will know that the Motor breaks really good)

Point 2.
Don't break 100%!!
Break earlyer, but Smooth!!
If you see a corner, break gentile.
Like 30-60% of the L2/LT never go 100% on break with L2/LT.

If you got this two points, you can improve the last quantum with rear-break.

Point 3 is.... Buy Tires.
Set them to SOFT.
Your game will be much better with Soft Tires!

Also go in settings and set break and Gas Agressive.

He can go even faster in semiautomatic and manually lowering the gears, since if he does not splice the gears well he will lose more time.

Another thing is what you say about the wheels. It all depends on your riding style and the setup you have on the bike, I practically almost always have hard front and medium rear except on rare occasions, either because it is night or the track does not have too many aggressive curves, because the soft, they last me half a turn until they turn red, with which they lose a lot of grip and the bike understeer and you lose time.

The best thing is that he is testing setups and tires on the bike until he is comfortable and lowers the times. And if he can play without TC better than better, since the bike is slower with TC.

Oh sorry, Semi-Automatic was what i mean.
for me its like manual xD
Sorry ^^

[Eclipse]

if the rear end of the bike is too bouncy around corners, lower the rear spring strength by -1, and raise the Rear compression by +1

[Dhaneen]

Thank for all of your replies. it surely helped me out.

I tried the not 100'% break thing and I hardly understand why my trajectory is way better than before. Ofc I also use downshifting now. Thanks for these tips!

because in motorcycle racing you are supposed to slow down INTO the corner, unlike car racing wear you are supposed to slow down BEFORE the corner. smooth braking allows the bike to get into the trajectories its meant to be in by allowing the bike to be slow while riding INTO the apex of a corner, harsh braking doesnt allow for this style of riding because it pushes the tires to its limits far too early, its basic physics.

Watch DrAce's and Robo46's tutorials.

this thread is helpful af thanks guys

Ant defined very well how to practice and progressively improve.

[SilentStorm]

to be better need group with lawyers and close milestone these clowns they sell 40 euro a game and 50 dlcs(with 5 euro each dlc) with bikes from oldest Ride the swindlers!!!!!
