SBK - Why only 18 names??

by Rob Adla » Wed, 28 Apr 1999 04:00:00

  Why is there only 18 'named' riders in this sim/game? Were EA unable to
get permission to 'use' other rider's names?
  It seems a waste of time to have more than 18 riders, if you are unable to
add the names of the riders you wish to race against. Has anyone found a way
to add riders to the 18 named riders in this sim? Permanently? What about
changing the 'un-named' bikes to a different manufacturer?
  TIA for any info.

Every meeting has local riders. They could of used the entry list from the 1997
events. I can't see a local rider getting upset about his name being advertised
around the world (although some of the "locals" are now full time SBK or AMA
Superbike contestants.)
However they would of had to use different skins for the bikes. I think if they
use a local riders name they would be upset if they were pictured riding a bike
with rival sponsorship.

Even made up names would of been preferable!
