You're totally missing the point here.The game is just that,a game.It was touted
as a simulation and that it was gonna blow GPL's physics out of the water?Yeah
right,not even close.I'm not the only one that is severely disappointed in this
product,there are around 5 others who have had the displeasure of playing this
"game".As far as patching this game which has sawed off shotgun holes in it,that
remains to be seen.But I seriously doubt that they can update it that much.Are
you gonna tell me that this is the best cycle game out there right now?Man EA
has even built a better one then Motorsims in SBK,thats down right sad.And as
far you're beloved track representation and awesome control setup,it doesn't
mean jack if you can drive through the dirt and ride as fast as you can on the
pavement,drive through walls,hit cones and just be moved around them,drive
through other players on the course,hit hay bails at 50mph and see the bike
launch 30ft. in the air or the other time I hit one with the bike just stopped
dead in its tracks and fell on its side.Now theres some accurate physics.I said
nothing about turning fast laps is easy,don't know where you got that from,but I
can't see even bothering working on a setup and learning a track in a game with
such holes in it.
