excuse me

did you ever try EA SUPERBIKE before ?
If you did, then I believe you will find it hard
to accept something like this.................

do try it

Well, what do you know. I got gp500 today also..........and the fps are
terrible on my top of the line rig. no mater what graphics option I change it
too the fps is unplayable. Guess AMA wins by default for me.

MaX

Do me a favor, try the TV cameras in all the games and see how the bike
behaves, then tell me wich one has better physics :)

Also we have analog positioning of the rider body making the control more
precise.

For in***pit view you can assign the look ahead feature to adjust how far
ahead you usually look on turns since different people use diferent
distances in real life.

We have a total of 9 analog control inputs that you can map to
joysticks/buttons or keys and we actually support inputs up to 32 analog
axis if you have enought hands to use them.

I could go on. We did put limits on our full physics model so that people
will have more fun with the sim instead of being fustrated from falling all
the time, but you can count on us taking those limits off (at least placing
an option to take those limits out).

And remember, we are going to keep on developing this title to make it
better with time. As I can see from your previous posts you just don't want
to believe us and that is your prerogative.

You could instead point out what you don't like in a constructive way so
that we can work on those aspects of the sim, we really want to make it
better by all means.

>You must not require alot of a sim if you're happy with AMA.

Oh please. If you don't like the game and want to say why, by all
means go ahead. But this sort of childish response has no value.

Well, I decided to give AMA a second chance, but unfortunately my
initial impression was correct, it just plain sucks. The sound is
***poor, the crashes look fake as hell, the draw in is horrendous.
I'm not going to go on any further, the game is crap. If you want to
know how 4 stroke race bikes are supposed to sound in a simulation, go
buy yourself a copy of EA Superbikes. If you guys at Motorsims think
for just a second that your attempt at a sim even comes close to EA
Superbikes or GP500, you're out of your minds. You guys need to hire
some talented and experienced artists and programmers. The people you
currently have working on AMA should be making games for the original
Nintendo 8-bit console. Truly pathetic.

Ditto!!! Also I am really disappointed with AMA for putting
their stamp of approval on this kiddie game! I raced with the
AMA league for almost 10years & I cant imagine what they
were thinking about when they gave it an AOK!
If this is going to be a "work in progress" game they better
start all over again! Sorry but 2 thumbs down on this one!
My new bad decision purchase goes back today!!
Cheers Thom_j.

So basically you don't like AMA because you don't like the candy? The
only thing you're able to say is "That sucks!" or "That's a
masterpiece". I do respect your opinion, but the way you express this
is way below par....

Funny thing is that you mention the Nintendo. As far I can see, you're
just in the market for that (all eyecandy, no substance).

Dude, this is totally uncalled for.

If you don't like the game, or us, that's fine. Don't buy our stuff. Please.
Instead, hang out in the GP500 or EA SBK threads and praise their
perfection. Suckle on their goodness like a starving lamb.

I'm sorry, but I need to voice the truth so people don't get caught up
in the money making hype machine you're trying to create with your AMA
game. It's games like yours that cause people to become starving
lambs waiting for rare gems such as GP500 and SBK2000. No wonder
you're holding back on the demo. You don't want people to see what
your AMA game is all about. If they did, I assure you they'd never
even consider buying it.
