Gameplay-wise, it's a slight step up from Madden 21. Seems like some screens are more viable, run game is still dominated by whatever concept is the new flavor.
Franchise is alright. I like the weekly strategy stuff. The scouting features that were promised were delayed till September, then October, which is pathetic.
They removed Gun Split Panther and Pistol Bunch TE which is a bummer.
Graphics are fine? It doesn't look bad, per-say, but if you took away the scoreboard, I'd have a hard time telling it apart from any of the past couple maddens.

FotF is maybe the worst it's been since Madden 19, I don't even want to talk about how bad it is, mechanically, the narrative, the end game. It's really bad, do not waste your time if you do buy the game.

It's not worth $60, it's not even worth $30.

I'm disappointed.

I'm also a sucker that just wants to play football games, so here I am.

It's ok

Definitely worth a buy, fantastic community, very addicting.

Played it till I hated it. Just like all the fallouts.

So far, I've got o say Ride hit the mark on a niche role that the MotoGP games weren't filling.

Pros:
-Over 100 bikes
-Over 400 different paint jobs
-from 390-1200cc bikes
-Naked bikes/sports/supersports/superbikes/track bikes/prototypes
-The actual gameplay feels smooth (when you use correct graphic settings)
-Can change things like fender eliminators and mirror elminators, tires, lever colors, triple clamp colors.
-Rider gear can be custumized from helmet (they even have my skin of the AGV K3), gloves, boots, suits, pants, and jackets
-Riding position can be made custom, and that's really cool little feature for me personally
-You can REALLY feel the difference in bikes. Went form an R6 600cc bikes to the Ducati Penigale 1199s, and it took about 5-8 races for me to actually get used to the feel of the Duc. I power wheeied up several times, hit the throttle too hard out of corners and slid out. Things I was doing that aren't always good practice (powering early out of turns, opening wide up in lower gears) were fine on the R6, but on the Duc, double the power it was very clear that I had to race much cleaner.



Cons:

-I feel the "Racing Line" they have is a tad off at times, there's definitely points where I can clearly break after it tells me to/lines that are more optimal to take wide/short. Looking at you Road America
-The racing line isn't always clear on when to lean, Often times I can go early to get a jump on the apex. While other times if I turn when it wants me to I'll come up short on the turn.
-The starting bikes are incredibly lopsided. I went with the 636 Monster, and it was a clear loser to the speed triple. I struggled very much to even finish on the podium with the Ducati. But when I started over, with the triple, it was a walk in the park to finish top.
-I don't feel the tracks are varied enough in world tour mode. I've seen Road America, Imola, and Miami plenty of times. I've only seen Wales once, and yet to see Sierra Nevada.
-I wish they did more with the salt flats track, It's a big relaxer to just drag it up, but I think they could do a little more with it. Maybe a mode where you try to beat your top speed?
-Bike damage is nonexistant, I'd like to see a hardcore mode.

Overall, I think Ride is shaping up to be the niche motorcycle riders, enthusiants, and race enthusiants are looking for.
However, there are minor tweaks that need to be made, and some content as far as tracks go I'd love to see added (Isle of Man TT [PLEASE, even if it's just a segement of the track] , Leguna Seca, Catalunya, Mugello).

For now, I'd give it an 8/10, hopefully Milestone actually sticks with this to provice patches, and new content.

For $40, I'd say it's definitely a save bet for any motorcycle rider.
