Hold the right trigger down all the way for full throttle but for fine control through corners and chicanes you’ll have to feather the throttle along with the left brake trigger to stay on your racing line. Throttle and brake control are a little easier to handle because of the controller’s analog trigger buttons. After a while, I got used to the steering and riding became much smoother.
I found turning to be a little twitchy at first with the full effort of throwing your body over to lean a race bike mapped to a small joystick with a little more than an inch of travel. The controls take some getting used to, especially for those who don’t play a lot of racing video games. While true gear heads will enjoy setting up a bike, the real action takes place on the track. The game also gives you the telemetry from your previous two laps so you can analyze your performance and see how your changes take effect. Gear ratios, chain adjustments, braking power and tire choice are other decisions you can make to fine tune your bike. Suspension is fully adjustable and you can adjust the rake angle and trail of the steering column. The chief engineer offers you advice on your setup or you can fine tune the configuration yourself. Race weekends offer a full package of practice sessions, qualifying sessions, and, when you make it to the World Superbike class, the Superpole.īetween track sessions, you return to the pit to meet with your team’s mechanics to change the setup of your bike. You can create your own rider and sign with teams to compete eight full seasons. Instead of short challenges, career mode is a more complete simulation of the life of a professional racer.
Like the story mode, you start from scratch as a Superstock racer and work your way up to the top. Hardcore WSBK fans will probably spend most of their time in Simulation’s career mode. Completing a challenge earns you points that open up further challenges as you move up the ranks from a rookie World Superstock 1000 racer to WSBK World Champion. The object of this scenario was to beat my new arch nemesis, but other challenges include finishing a race in the top ten on rapidly decaying tires or finishing on the podium in a torrential rain. The episode with Fujiwara above is scenario offered in Arcade’s story mode which puts the player through a series of racing challenges.
