Just wanted to share my surprise at how much better this is from last year.
Main reason for yet another purchase in the series was that I really wanted the Moto2 Triumph engined bikes, now they also have a proper dashboard, they sound good, they ride nice. The historical content I find a huge bonus and a lot of fun - both the bikes and Laguna Seca. It has this nostalgic feeling of being back to the 2008 version of the game where I started with, just with a lot better GFX.
The new AI kinda seems cool, less "robotic" and more individual, more errors too, and not so eager to run me of the bike. I also really like the way they are hiding the rev counter HUD elements when you are in cockpit view, and that the MM Dashboard shows you lap times and number of laps as well as your ECU settings (even though there's a bug in what it shows if you edit the setup in the pit).
The helmet camera is better than 2018, the menus are better, the controls are more flexible to map. There seems to be a bug with the "weight forward"? as it makes the rider sit up, but okay, I can kind of live with that. Generally there are a few bugs, but less annoying ones than last year. Sector Split times are back too.
So, if you're on the fence if you really want to buy yet another update to the series... I honestly think this is the best yet. I've had 2008, the 2010 SBK title, then MotoGP 13, VRTG and MGP18 and I might stick with this one for a long time as it seems to concentrate the best of all these titles into one. Now if they could bring back the In-Game Telemetry and fix the bugs this would be a 8/10 or even 9/10 for me personally.
