This game is hard even on easy. Needs help(tips)

[Life Pilgrim]

How do I win MotoGP races. The AI opponents are so fast.
I can hold my own and win in Moto 3 racesbut in Moto GP if I push too hard I will fall off my bike, if I don't push hard I will get left behind.

Irregardless the riding aid options I'm selecting.

[KurtAshing]

you need more practice

[Life Pilgrim]

I'm trying, how do you keep from falling off the bike. I've reduced throttle while cornering but in rce I get over ambitious and fall often trying to win

[KurtAshing]

i don't know but a lot of player here thinks the game is balance/easy in terms of AI difficulty, in some tracks you can win even in CRT specially sachsenring.

I learned to use both front and rear wheel brakes (just what Rossi does). It seems to make me go faster but still no where as fast as I need to.

The main thing is just to keep putting laps down. learn the tracks. You really should know what the next 2-3 corners are so you can be in correct position for them. Start by just trying to make less mistakes and slowly increasing your speed until you're competitive.

Moto3 bikes it's all about maintaining speed, those bikes don't accelerate well so you need to try not to slow down too much. GP bikes, it's all about controlling the throttle and not throwing yourself off the bike by accelerating too hard.

Use good racing lines - brake early for corners and get in the mindset of wanting to get back on the throttle as soon as you can, rather than braking as late as you can. You want more speed coming out of the corners not going into them.

I mainly use front brake, about 80% to 20% rear brake. Tap the rear brake when cornering makes the back slide out, so can help point the nose back in if you're running wide. Also, be vey gentle with the throttle as you can easily lose the back wheel.

Do you use a controller with vibrate? The instant you feel the vibration when you're cornering ease off the throttle or brakes. This means you can push harder but also learn not to fall off.

Thanks I decided to use the keyboard actually. My gamepad isn't very good.

[KurtAshing]

use xbox 360 game controller, working very well on this game

[moe]

yes, it's hard to play with keyboard..
it's possible but it's really hard to control the throttle out of corner, so you can't go fast with keyboard compare to joystick with trigger like xbox 360 controller or logitech f510/f710

also another tips, if you find it's hard to beat AI, try not to beat them..
but follow their racing line, braking point, also when to open throttle, stay behind them as long as you can without ram their behind. trust me it's harder to follow them than to overtake them :p
then if you feel that you can control your bike better with following around AI within 5 laps or so, then you can go for overtake :)

oh, always go easy with throttle with motogp bikes..for starter when you feel vibration or see skid marks when accelerating that's the sign you open throttle too much and rear wheel start spinning. it's okay to have skid marks when you master your bike tho (not okay with tyre wear option on, avoid them! xD)
and if you like, go with manual transmision..it's faster if you get them right

goto you tube Yonny at Philly.. i do full sim FULL LAPS races in HELMET VIEW against real ai always... practice and since ur new dont listnt to people who takre short cuts.. the game in full sim is so good you can learn how to ride for real with it or practice racing if your real racer... dont sell out on a good idea and dont play online.. they are not ready! for online racing on steam.

Thanks for all the tips. I turned on race line help and it helps a lot. Now I no longer placed last in qualifiying races. More like middle position (little better than middle position). Which is great!!

Well, I have some recommendations for the bike setup that might help you. Go to the manual bike setup and reduce front height all the way left (leaving the bar empty), rear height also almost completely left leaving only 1/8 of the bar. Adjust stiffness preloads all the way right, bike will be somewhat nervous and responsive but fast.

Rake and Trail: all the way left (leaving only the smallest part of the bar).

Gears: 1st and 2nd gears very short, you will have TCS constantly working and rising front wheel but you will be fast in corners.

3rd and 4th gears - a little bit longer than 2nd.

5th gear a bit not reaching the right end.

6th gear: all the way to the right.

Final gear ratio: to the left, towards acceleration 2 bars.

Brakes: use Disc 2 for better steering on both wheels.

Tyres: soft compound on all wheels.

Good advice would be to use practice sessions to the maximum on each track, you should be able to ride almost automatically during the race. Don't sit in the boxes.

Don't jump into top difficulty levels, try riding Moto3 and Moto2 on easy level, select contracts carefully with your manager choosing teams with as highest performance bars as possible (those, whose riders are top 10 and top 15). Develop your bike with the following priority: Suspension, Chassis, Engine (if available), Brakes - paying the biggest attention at what you are experiencing with your bike, for example if you have troubles controlling it then work on the Chassis and Suspension, if the bike is slow on straight try to develop Engine with data packs.

I am doing only my first season in Career but I have already won 6 races in Moto 3, transfered to Moto 2 and won 3 races there. Not getting a MotoGP offer though so I think that I will have to stay for the next season in Moto2.

Play the Moto2, it should be a good preparation before you hit MotoGP - similar speeds of approx. 285 - 300 km/h, similar acceleration. Don't stay too long in Moto 3. Play with a gamepad (XBOX 360 for example).

Regarding vibration on the gamepad. Vibration means that your 1st and 2nd gears are set to short values in Bike Setup and you are not keeping the steering straight. The only correct remedy agaisnt this is to release steering and throttle control during vibration. Also there are usually several spots on the track where this happens - learn them, go slower there and accelerate after you pass these places immediately.

Agree with you 100% and some Good advice there.

Awesome game shame it never got Popular on PC.

Wonda how the new game Ride by Milestone will be.

how to turn vibration completely off?

The Steam Controller is horrible for this game. XBox360 controller is better for some reason. Throttle sucks on steam, not consistent. Turning is exaggerated using steam controller, not consistent. Again, the Steam controller is horrible for this game.
