My opinion Graphics: 2021 - Looks more natural, less cartoony, and a bit more "deformation" (I use deformation lightly lol) Bike sounds: 2021 - 2020 isn't worse, just different. I prefer 2021 Whips: 2020 - I honestly thought the canned whips in 20 looked really good. 2021 is a huge step back Tracks: 2021 - I think they're more enjoyable Ground physics: 2021 - Way more grip compared to 2020 Air physics: 2020 - but both suck Rider animations: Tie - Each have pieces that look better than the other. If I had to choose probably 2020 Pop off: 2021 - sometimes you could pop off the bike way too easy in 2020 After 10 hrs of gameplay I'm enjoying 2021. Wasn't going to buy it, but gave it a chance. I think it's a slight improvement from 2020. But I haven't experienced any of the bugs that others have. Wish they would add more bike graphics and rider outfit options.

[@windham151]

Thanks for sharing you thoughts on the game. Yeah, specifically about the sounds, I thought in 2021 they sound more crisp.

[@MichaelThomas-xc6vy]

Yes, it looks like they spent time mostly on the official tracks and adding legacys. Also updating the riders with their new teams. Not really much of any thing else.

[@windham151]

Yeah, for the most part, the tracks look awesome. I love that Milestone gives us moto games, but I wish they would have put at least half as much effort into this game as they seemed to have in Hot Wheels.

[@ZIGAG1999]

well the gameplay got some time as well. braking bumps are done much better in mxgp 2021 and there's things that make it more challenging but in a fun way.

[@jcongrove]

I personally prefer 21 to 20. 20 felt way too loose for me. Left stick controls were way more touchy for me. I also didn't upgrade 20's version to next gen and I'm playing 21 on next gen, so that may have something to do with the feel. 21 has some things that need work, obviously. I could definitely live without the bug where you do a career challenge and it throws you on a stock bike and you're stuck on it for your next GP. I had to do a 450 race on a KTM 125 yesterday.

[@Aday04]

I haven’t dared touch the career challenges due to this bug lol

[@greg6162]

Can you buy this on disc version for PS4/PS5… I can’t seem to find disc on PS5 because I’m not paying $50 for this almost halfway through 2023. Wondering if you bought the disc version or digital (need the disc I’m running out of space)

[@jcongrove]

@@greg6162 I have a digital copy, but I would imagine physical copies can be found somewhere. I have spent the past few minutes trying to find some online and didn't have any luck though. 2020 is available on Amazon for $24, but that's about all I could find.

[@samblack5313]

Good on you for calling them out, mate. They’ve been taking the p!ss for a while now.

[@tonyalonso5851]

Everyone needs to understand how to actually apply different set ups according to different tracks and riding becomes really fun. Stock setting will works ok on every track. But tailoring set up unleashes bike characteristics. And even though the features are the same, the riding physics are way better and the tracks are really fun to race on

[@MichaelThomas-xc6vy]

Hmm, maybe you could do a tutorial sometime to show the rest of us, or give us some valuable pointers. That would be great!

[@tonyalonso5851]

@Michael Thomas depends on the bike you're using. But I would say more high speed comp/rebound is a good start

[@FunkyChicken251]

The only thing I like better than 2020 in this is the dirt colors. It’s sad that people give this company money. People crap on MX vs. ATV but at least they listen to their community and work towards improving

[@windham151]

There's some positives to the game for sure. Love that there's more inside berms and roughness to the tracks. Just wanted to see that they cared a little more about this series.

[@02WS6]

That game sucks tho to much arcade , they should mix Mxgp 3 from 2017 and monster energy sx 6 an they’d have a goat game

Not every game has the exact same tracks, but it's based on the real season so most of them are usually similar.

[@ColtonThomas-n5x]

@@windham151 ok thanks! I watched your reviews and decided on 2020. Keep up the good work!

[@MrPlow-sl6vj]

2021 looks and sound (slightly) better, but physics/handling feels way different, and I find it so hard to not crash 1000000 times every lap, while on 2020 I jumped in the first time and was able to do clean laps and beat medium AI right away. On certain tracks 2021 feels really good (on sand), but on most tracks the bike feels too loose and the controls are super twitchy. Also, the camera on 2021 has a weird/annoying movement that makes it feel like the game is stuttering. I just bought both on sale for 5 and 6€, and I think I'll stick with 2020 for now; the only reason I might consider to give 2021 another try is because I guess the multiplayer is more populated...

[@samg013]

People need to stop buying it every year at full price, maybe they’ll take note and add more to the game then.

[@jeanguion3223]

I have a "Reference" quality video monitor and the graphic for the 21 game grades out distance and color fade to a more realistic level.....as far as the track editor , couldn't that be so people with both years of game can use on line custom tracks and race them on both games?

I wish they would add like mechanical failure and if you go down your bike gets damaged been handlebars an injuries especially if you're playing on realistic difficulty. I like how Monster Energy Supercross added injuries that game was a huge letdown hopefully somebody picks on Milestone because I love Monster Energy Supercross I have every single one I think number three is the best and then the original Monster Energy Supercross in a second number 6 being the worst. Mxgp they better come out with a really sick game for 2023 because 2020 and 2021 were identical I thought I was playing the same game the dirt licked a little better and so did the graphics and brighter smoother but every track is identical what a bummer luckily I got mine on clearance for 5 bucks each LOL I believe Monterey Supercross 6 is on sale for 20 bucks

I still can’t play lommel on mxgp 2020. That track is still in slomo on my PS4

[@windham151]

Really? I knew consoles had some serious bugs but I didn't know about that one.

[@karlkarlsson9126]

2020 was garbage in my opinion, and 2021 is an improved version. 2020 was garbage due to the stiff rider animations and sluggish feeling of riding in the terrain, while 2021 has better rider animations and more terrain feeling, and the clutch actually makes sense in 2021. Overall it's not acceptable with all the lack of changes. I respect the things they have added throughout all the games, but the lack of changes between each game is not big enough for a whole new game, and this just shows that the developers behind these games only have time or only cares enough to do the necessary changes to make it look new for newer players. These games are cash-grab games, it's about putting a new game out every year for the real MXGP seasons fans, it's not about innovation for gaming. Innovation would have given us more customization options and track deformations. I think it's safe to say, for all KZbinrs as well, that although these are the best looking mx games we have ever witnessed, these Milstone games aren't really something to look forward to when it comes to finding something new, we are not their target of audience. This is Fifa but for MX.
