Welcome to MXGP: The Official Motocross Game. The game is a realistic turn on the official MX1 and MX2 2013 FIM Motocross World Championship, featuring 60 riders, 60 bikes and 14 tracks. The game features several game modes including the core Career mode, 16 player Multiplayer, Championships, Time Attacks & Instant Race.

Career
By playing two seasons in the Career, the first in the MX2 class and the second in the MX1 class (which you will accept a contract for), you will unlock 6 out of the 7 achievements for 190 directly linked to the Career. The seventh achievement ("Motocross star") will take an extra 11 seasons. In addition to the 6 achievements, you will also unlock another 25 achievements for 410 by progressing through and completing the two Career seasons.

1 Million Fans Grind
The ("Motocross star") achievement will be the last achievement you unlock, and it takes an extremely long time in comparison to every other achievement put together. There is no shortcut or quick method to earn fans, as they are awarded in set amounts by playing through seasons in the Career. At the end, this achievement will add an extra 40 hours to your playtime in order to gain the completion. Please see relevant achievement for more details.

Multiplayer
The game only has 6 online achievements for 120. You will earn 2 for 50 simply for playing for a total of 3 hours in online races, win or lose. They must be valid races, as in you will have to finish events to the end as DNF's are not acceptable. You will earn another 2 for 20 for simply participating in and completing an online Grand Prix and a Championship. The last 2 for 50 is earned in the Online Season mode for getting promoted to the MX1 class and then the MX1 Elite class. This is not difficult at all and you're basically not required to beat any human opponents, as long as you're patient. Please see relevant achievements for more details.

Misc
There are several miscellaneous achievements some of which you will earn through naturally playing the Career, others you will have to go out of your way a little, but none are difficulty in any matter. Typical achievements include creating your rider, customizing your rider, entering the pit menu, entering replay mode, earning fans in Career, levelling up in Career, completing and winning a race on very track, getting pole positions and earning holeshots.

Conclusion
MXGP is an extremely easy game to complete, and as mentioned you just need to play two seasons in Career, and a couple hours of Mulitplayer to unlock all but one achievement, and this can be done in 2-3 days of reasonable playtime. The last achievement for the 1 million fans grind will take much longer.

The handling and physics of the bikes themselves feel quite unstable and fiddly at first, but you will soon get used to this after a few races. A useful tip is that you should not rely on the leaning mechanism of the game too much, and instead take corners by letting go of the acceleration and smoothly turn your rider, this will result in less crashes and falling off your bike.

Now make sure to go into Race Options and set the race length to 3 laps, Race session to Full Weekend & AI Difficulty to Easy. Once in the pit, continue to skip to the Qualifying event so you have an idea of what time to aim for to gain a Pole position during Qualifying (finish in 1st place in Qualifying round) then continue on to win both races for the achievement.
Great come back

One step ahead

20
In Online Season mode, get promoted to the MX1 class
To get promoted to the MX1 class, you need to earn approximately 72 points to move up to the next class, and you only have 4 races to do this as shown on the Online Season screen. Your only option is to search for a lobby, where the track will be picked randomly. You cannot custom host and invite friends to boost wins. The scoring works like the following;

1st - 25 points
2nd - 22 points
3rd - 20 points
4th - 18 points

This means that simply coming 4th in all 4 races will suffice to move up to the MX1 class and unlock the achievement. If you’re having trouble finishing in higher places against too many human players, you can search until you’re put into an empty lobby which means you’re the host, allowing you to kick players. Therefore, starting a race with just 1 other player will prove the easiest method to earn your points.

Online races always have 12 riders, meaning any missing human players will be replaced with AI, who are extremely easy to beat. As you only have 4 races before your season is reset, if you think during a race that you’re not going to finish in the top 4, you can simply quit out from the race from the pause menu, there is no need to go to the dashboard, as your remaining races will not decrease by quitting.
Best of the best!

In Online Season mode, get promoted to the MX1 Elite class

Your only option is to search for a lobby, where the track will be picked randomly. You cannot custom host and invite friends to boost wins. The scoring works like the following;

1st - 25 points
2nd - 22 points
3rd - 20 points
4th - 18 points

This means that simply coming 3rd in all 5 races will suffice to move up to the MX1 Elite class and unlock the achievement. If you’re having trouble finishing in higher places against too many human players, you can search until you’re put into an empty lobby which means you’re the host, allowing you to kick players. Therefore, starting a race with just 1 other player will prove the easiest method to earn your points.
