Wealth of Game Modes
MotoGP 22 enriches the heritage of the videogame franchise and the sports itself, adding a one-of-a-kind game mode. The NINE Season 2009 is a fascinating way to re-live one of the most incredible seasons in MotoGP™ history. A nostalgic and emotional docu-film narrated by Mark Neale – director of some of the best MotoGP™ documentaries – and with more than 50 minutes of original footage from the 2009 Season blending with real gameplay, the new mode creates a total-immersive motor simulation experience. Players will find themselves in the boots of legendary riders such as Rossi, Pedrosa, Stoner and Lorenzo, facing different breath-taking challenges to complete replicate historical moments.
NINE Season 2009 replicates all the 17 grand prix of the season, divided in chapters with over 39 challenges in total.
The 2022 edition also adds new dedicated features for both newcomers and core gamers: the enhanced Tutorial and the MotoGP™ Academy. Thanks to these two new tailor-made modes players have the chance to master their knowledge of two wheels or learn the basics to start their escalation to the pro-level.
The Tutorial features a series of dedicated gameplay sessions, helping newcomers to understand the basics of the game through specific challenges focused on electronics, tire consumption, brake temperature, and core differences between the three main categories.
The MotoGP™ Academy teaches you how to improve your riding style to be unbeatable on every track, uncovering the secrets to face all the curves and the hardest trajectories.
Additionally, the Riding Analysis System helps riders through in-game pop-up messages that appear at the end of the race, suggesting how to adjust the difficulty level based on skills and performances. The game could recommend activating some helps or suggest playing specific tutorials designed to fill gaps in terms of gameplay knowledge and attitudes.
The Managerial Career is back and allows players to decide between creating a new team or joining a real one. The game mode also features the possibility to go in-depth in the strategy’s details, using development points and allocating R&D staff to reach the top along with working on bike development through enhancing aspects such as engine, frame, aerodynamics and electronics. The path could start from the bottom, creating a Junior Team in Moto2™ or Moto3™ categories, selecting a sponsor and hiring a team manager, technical director and at least one rider.
