Pay to win and for things that never work – MotoGP Racing '23 Review

Want to go fast and compete against the big boys? You need to pay with diamonds. Tens of thousands of diamonds. How do you get diamonds? You either pay cash, accumulate them slowly (70 per week) by playing every day or compete for days against hundreds of people, who have already spent more diamonds than you and are subsequently faster than you, to win a tournament for a measly 500 diamonds. Often times those faster opponents are also on Android devices and have used a known hack (search for it) to max out their abilities. Good luck beating them. Oh and one more thing about the tournament, you have to pay diamonds to participate. Long story short... you are going to pay if you want to compete. Enjoy! The game play is okay, not great. There are a few irritating issues about the mechanics of the game. For example, in order to do well it is critical that you build up a large quantity of “perfects” during each race. Perfects are awarded when you to press that accelerator or brake within approximately 20 milliseconds of crossing a line across the track. If you are more than approximately 100 ms off, all your accumulated perfects are taken from you. Sadly, two factors out of your control can combine to easily cause you to lose your perfects while in a race. First, the target lines in corners are not perpendicular to the track or racing lines. Second, the game has an unrealistic amount of rider contact which results in riders being pushed to alternative racing lines. When you are in a corner, other riders frequently bump you resulting in your bike leaping to a different racing line. The perfects target line intersects this new new racing line at a completely different location, either before or after the point where it intersected your old line. They result is that you are frequently stripped of all your perfects through no fault of your own. Try not to throw your iOS device across the room when this happens to you.
