MotoGP 21’s live dashboard adjustments are hyper-realistic too. That also helps preserve tyre life which, even though this is a video game, actually matters. I usually don’t use the back brake unless I want to get closer to the apex mid-corner, and I also like to have my engine braking on the max setting so that I’m less likely to lose the front. Then I’d smoothly progress into the corner with very little trail braking. Finding a balance took a while, but what eventually worked for me was using 80% front brake when hitting the initial braking marker, and pulling the rider’s weight back with the 元 button. Too much braking would cause stoppies, too little and I’d be off the track. My main struggle at first was the increased sensitivity under braking. Having all the assists turned to max helps, but where’s the fun in that? Even while riding as buttery smooth as the legendary Max Biaggi you can still ‘feel’ the bike alive underneath you, especially as you start to peel the assists off. Any harsh braking, stabs of throttle or heavy steering usually results in absolute disaster-unless you do everything smoothly and under modulation. Once you’re riding, smoothness is the word of the day.
MOTOGP 19 AW TRIAL
I spent most of my time in the quick modes, clocking in some serious time trial laps to dial in my riding style and test all the bikes, before switching to career mode. Once you’ve mastered this, there are three main playing modes in MotoGP 21: Online Races, Career Mode and three quick modes (Grand Prix, Time Trial and Championship). As a firm believer in not being babied, I’d suggest rather using the curve indicators-they work excellently for showing you braking, apex, and exit points, leaving you to figure out the rest. Beginners can switch the ideal trajectory line on, which projects a coloured line on the track, indicating the exact line to take and when to brake. The tutorials are a great intro for first-time MotoGP players, and while experience gamers will have no need for them, it’s still nice to see Milestone catering to newcomers. And for the newbies, it’s loaded with tutorials to bring you up to speed. But fear not-if you’ve played the last two versions of the game, it’ll only take you a few hours to get settled in. If you, like myself, have spent hundreds of hours playing Milestone’s long-running bike sim, and have every braking zone from Silverstone’s Turn One to Jerez’s Lorenzo Corner memorised, MotoGP 21 is still going to be a challenge. The only question is: is this new chapter of MotoGP gaming for experts only, or is it enjoyable and playable for newbies and kids too? With 20 official tracks to choose from (including three historic tracks), and six motorcycle classes (MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and the legendary 800, 990 and 500 two-stroke classes)-you are spoiled for choice before the lights even go out. New additions include long lap penalties, brake temperature and bike retrieval features. MotoGP 21 brings with it an improved connection to the bike’s moving parts, quicker load times, enhanced lighting and an improved dynamic resolution.

Athletes use them to work on track memory and race reflexes-and regular gamers benefit from games that bring a whole new level of realism.
In the last couple of years, there’s been an increase in race simulation games being used for realistic training in sports like F1, MotoGP, WRC and even the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Here at ZA Bikers, we follow the MotoGP race season like it’s a religion-but what about those boring weekends where no racing happens? Or the long lockdown months in the off season? To cure our lockdown blues, our good friends at Gamefinity (the guys behind KOODOO) sent us a PlayStation with the latest copy of MotoGP 21.
