Re: MXGP The Official Motocross Game Demo Available Now on Steam
I am noticing the same thing on Realistic AI. Qualifying I might turn a .4 or .8 second faster lap. Then in a 3 lap race I gain a lead of 10 seconds. That doesn't add up. I think the issue is that the AI is coded to be very cautious about taking rider out. In third person cam when you have it zoomed out, you can see them hit the brakes and screw up their line if you get near them like you might cut them off. I think they're just a bit too passive at the moment, but it's better than them wrecking you every corner. In a pack once you get out front, they're constantly braking and slowing for each other, so you continue to build bigger and bigger leads when you're on your own.
I've discovered the sweet spot for berm-riding. If you try to shift your weight with the R stick too early, that's where the bike low-sides out from under you. I've taken a tactic that has me set up for the berm, release the throttle, and as soon as my wheels hit the edge, lean over hard on the R stick. From that point, I can full-throttle all the way around and shoot out the backside like a rocket. But there's a weird rhythm to it. Set, position, R stick, THEN steer and throttle.
