I have bought a few different MX vs ATV games. There is always a problem with online play. is the online play working in this version?

I am only going to buy this game if online play works.

I loaded about 10 online races last night, 20 of which i tried to connect to, 50% DC'd

Many times i would do the 120 minute warmup and then the loading screen that puts us in the actual race i would DC.

Also there is zero host mitigation, If your hosts DC's buh bye lobby

Were they full lobbies ? Before the patch i would get empy lobbies

Thank you. I am sick of buying racing games where the online play doesn't work.

I think game developers should have to state the online play doesn't work. Then you can make an informed decision as to whether to buy the game or not. It’s a con trick to advertise a game has online play when you know it doesn’t work.

The zero host migration needs fixing. It should be like reflex. Host leaves, another player is automatically chosen as the new host.

It's a shame that despite being released in 2009 Reflex is the only game in the series where online play works. It’s not perfect but it does work. Alive and Supercross online play doesn’t work.
