MGP17 Are there cheaters on the TT leaderboards or I need to get better?

[vladimirjeger]

Hi guys, my main concern is Mugello. The first player on the list set the time of 1:42.4xx while the best I can do is high 1:44, and that is braking as late as possible, pushing the bike to the limit. No matter how I setup the bike I can't do better. I have a feeling I lose to much time in Casanova-Savelli and on final turn, but I just can't go faster trough there without going wide or crashing. Any tips or help with the setup?

On the other hand, the track I wasn't that good at in the previous games, Silverstone, some guy posted 2 seconds faster time than me, and I managed to get close to him, just 0.055 behind, but on some tracks like Mugello, Losail, Misano, I am 1 or 2 + seconds slower

And look at the Silverstone leaderboard now!!! I can't do this time, it's impossible

I doubt they cheat, he might have his bike tuned in the garage for that circuit. or he is simply good.

I don't know, I don't think he cheats

I tried to do some laps around Mugello and my best was 1.43.792
Maybe he's just better, I accepted I'm not the best at online games a long time ago
Here's my lap, maybe you can compare the sectors

I don't like Silverstone a lot but here's some reference

 

[vladimirjeger]

Yeah, maybe it's because I play with automatic gearbox, I believe you can brake harder with manual gearbox shifting down, using the engine brake. I just don't have the time to get used to it... Also I am unable to do better than 1:49.5 on Catalunya while the first guy on the leaderboards has the time of 1:48.540 but I know him, he is my friend on Steam and he's not cheating. But i noticed they are now using the old F1 chicane and not the new one they made for MotoGP. The new MotoGP chocane is I believe faster than the old F1 chicane so around half a second is being wasted there ...

1,49,5 cat ? in motogp 17? i think its a bit slow, you using any mod?

i went manual some time ago, its really worth a try

Hmm I use semi-auto gears. I've found out that being too aggressive doesn't pay off. Try with the ghost on. If I try to be smoother, brake a little bit earlier I am faster. You brake more when you're straight than when you're into the corner. Try to carry more corner speed and make sure you exit the corner in a good way. It's better to sacrifice corner entry and have a good exit instead of the opposite

I have always been riding like that, but this year I was improving while being more aggressive so I've started to brake as late as possible...BTW I always play with ghost on, it keeps me focused, I have a rabbit to chase I will try to be smooth again and see how it goes, thanks for the tip

No, no Mods...I really suck at the last sector...The new layout is killing me

Oh, sorry...1:39...not 1:49...My bad

 

[vladimirjeger]

No, I can't..I just can't...By being smooth I can't even ride below 1:40... The best I can do here is 1:49.4 and with Semi-Pro physics..On Pro I can't get even close.... I just F***G hate this new Catalunya layout

 

[swaty]

try the bikes from last year, im better with them atm..

Haven't thought about trying that really...I'll give it a go

 

[vladimirjeger]

Wait..there are no last year bikes in this game... And even if there were they would't count in the same Leaderboard

 

[Andy_J]

Who with any maturity really cares?

Although set on semi-auto, you can still manually control your gearbox.
Just hit the gear down button while breaking.
