![]() You will still land on other rider’s heads and nothing will happen and still hit barriers on the edge of the track. Riders will fall off bikes if they wreck, but they just disappear from the track and there still aren’t DNFs. Even the events in Career Mode have you attempting to pull off moves, and if you don’t know either how or what they are, there’s no chance. There still isn’t a proper way to train newbies on the best way to race or on how to approach jumps and situations. The Adaptive Triggers work the same as they did in MXGP 2021 with initial resistance on accelerating and braking, so it does improve the experience. This may be the big difference between the two franchises as tracks on MXGP feel more spaced out while the tracks in this game are more condensed. The AI will bunch up and the physics force you back to the point that you can’t catch it, while jumps have to be executed perfectly with the right amount of speed. The collision detection is still awful, even if the rumble from the DualSense helps. Whereas MXGP 2020 turned a corner, Monster Energy Supercross 4 still contains a lot of the same issues. The biggest hindrance in the game still remains the racing. Regardless, this is a step in the right direction. Getting through the Supercross Futures league is quick and while this is the deepest Career Mode in the series, it’s still shallow in comparison to other racing franchises. You can compete in specific events to gain more XP and participate in training exercises. The skill tree is straightforward, however, and you’ll eventually just unlock each one. You earn points to put towards your skill tree that will improve your performance in various areas. You’ll start off in the Supercross Futures league and eventually move on to 250SX and 450SX. While there’s access to competing in the 2020 Championship as a standalone option, the better experience is no doubt with the Career Mode. This is the deepest Career Mode that the series has seen, adding depth to the single player experience. The biggest change for Monster Energy Supercross 4 comes with the Career Mode. These licenses also help to provide the overall look of a race with proper advertising on the tracks. Over time, you can achieve your ultimate, desirable look and load out for your bike. The more you play, the more access you’ll gain to all the items. There are 110 officially-licensed brands in the game that provide cosmetic items or performance parts. The overall premise remains the same for Monster Energy Supercross 4, but Milestone has added a new coat of paint. You can race with online friends and complete challenges that will add to your overall XP in the game and also unlock new gear. There are five additional tracks that have been added to change things up and with the available spacing in the area, which is a nice change of pace to experience from the traditional racing. When the location gets darker, however, it becomes harder to see obstacles. The landscape features a lot of elevation changes with the ocean in the distance and a wooded terrain. The Compound has been redone to take place on the Maine Coastline. Milestone has added even more components this year for customization, but outside of that the mode ultimately remains the same in regards to the process. The track editor is more accessible than ever and allows users to create, share and download custom tracks from various locations. Monster Energy Supercross 4 sees the return of the popular modes with the track editor and the Compound. While the teams and racers still lack a year behind, everything that you see in that season is present. Milestone sells its features for its racing games every year, and tends to back that up with an on-going, improving experience. ![]() While it still offers the pizazz of the Monster Energy Supercross racing series, the fourth release equates to more of the same. While the MXGP series seemed to take proper steps with its release on next-generation hardware, the overall experience with Monster Energy Supercross still feels lacking. The fourth game in the Monster Energy Supercross series features the 2020 season that comes complete with fan favorite Ken Roczen and 20+ official teams and riders ranging from both the 250SX East and West classes along with the main 450SX class. Much like MXGP 2020, the hardware provides an overall better racing experience out of the box. Entering its fourth release in the franchise, Monster Energy Supercross 4 finally has the access to next-generation hardware.
