Do you have to log into a UK account to download the patches for this game. I heard the time trial was out already.

No sir, it will prompt you as soon as the game launches! And yep, Time Attack is what they call it, but it's in and the leader boards are working!! Loving it! The patch supposedly fixed a number of other issues with the game too. I am loading it up right now to get a good feel for it post-patch, and to definitely run some Time Attack laps! I am really impressed with Milestone's attention and dedication!

Thanks man! Late to the party but I just downloaded the demo over the weekend and I can't believe how much more I'm enjoying it than SBK 08-SBK 10 (didn't import 11 or Generations). Is it just me or is there something special about this moto game that has been missing from moto games this whole generation?

There's something special, for sure. I don't even like motogp/sbk games for the most part since Superbike 2001 on PC. This hits on all cylinders. Even the helmet camera works, which is amazing. AI is raceable and not cheap.

The only thing it's missing is higher production values for a wider audience, but it's the best moto game I've played in years...maybe ever.

Re: MotoGP 13 Demo Arrives on June 12th

I have to agree guys, it's the best MotoGP game I've personally ever played and the most fun I've had with a Moto game since Tourist Trophy! I keep coming back for more and more! Played a few more matches online and there is still a little lag from the servers being overseas but they were still fun and competitive, minus the douch who stopped in the middle of a fast part of a track and sat there the whole race where he was unavoidable!

Loving the Time Attack too, it's nice to run a clean lap with no traffic and then compare it to the rest of the players on the leader boards! You can always tell the cheaters/track cutters because the first 5 or 6 leader's times on each board are 10-20 seconds faster than the legit times at about 8th place. Milestone has been GREAT about patching goings so hopefully they implement a penalty system for cheaters soon! Or do like they did for a couple of the MotoGP games where if you don't run a clean lap (no tire off the course or wrecks obviously) then your lap doesn't count period!

Other than that GREAT effort Milestone! Thank you for THE Moto racer a lot of us have been waiting to get out hands on for years now!! And for listening to user feedback and not just acting on it, but doing it in an incredibly timely manner!!!

I have to think, with the game being this good, the only place Milestone failed is by NOT releasing the game in the United States! Especially with 3 races here this year that are all very well attended! And the popularity of MotoGP is on the rise in the U.S.! If I was Milestone, with the game being first day patchable and all the DLC that's already available, I would release it in America, especially so people can play it on their NTSC Xbox 360s!! And market it's release halfway decently on Speed, especially during any Moto broadcast (dirt bike racing, FIM motorcycle racing, all over MotoGP races and commercials) , especially with the distinct message that it's Out Now at American Retailers for your Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 gaming systems! I would also throw it up on the US Xbox Live and PSN Stores as a digital download! There are 2 races here in the next month too!! What better time! They had a playable MotoGP 08 game kiosk in the infield of the Indianapolis GP when I went and people were lined up to play and it was always a popular spot! That right there would get the word out! I just think their missing/have missed a huge opportunity to sell a lot more copies and really widen their customer base! Hell, you have two weeks, print up ticket lanyards, throw some signs, kiosks, and commercials together, have a contest where you have giveaways for copies of the new version of the game for winning a split screen race you sign up for at the kiosk! I should be their marketing director because these are easy and great ideas that would save them from losing a huge part of sales and fan base!! Sorry for the rant, back to Time Attack lmao!

Re: MotoGP 13 Demo Arrives on June 12th

Can anyone answer if '13 has challenge mode races in it like past SBK games where you had to do "overtake challenges" or "wheelie for 60 seconds" or "checkpoint" race? I liked how past SBK games mixed it up with the challenge modes.

Thanks!

Though I liked this addition as well, I don't believe it is in this year's game. I always thought it added to the immersion and some of the challenges were incredibly tough but fun and fair!
