Gameplay is generally regarded as fun and engaging, though some players find it initially frustrating due to its unique physics. While it shares similarities with MotoGP 15, many believe it offers improved content and options, including various racing formats. However, some users note handling and AI issues, as well as performance concerns related to graphical settings, which can affect the overall experience.
“Gameplay is quite fun; a bit frustrating at first, but after some trial and error, you get the hang of the strange physics. It's very similar to MotoGP 15, but from my point of view, a bit better.”
“I'm giving this game a positive review as, even with the handling and AI flaws, the amount of content and gameplay options at your disposal makes it very hard to pass up.”
“This game is awesome! There's so much to do in it, and I love the gameplay, though it is a little pricey.”
“Notice that depth of field and shadows are no longer selectable and it shows in gameplay and replay; they are always on.”
“In other words, a slick UI may be the reason for sluggish gameplay.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some users experiencing significant stuttering that affects gameplay, particularly on lower-spec systems. However, others report smooth performance on mid-range hardware, indicating that optimization may vary based on individual setups. Overall, while stuttering issues are noted, many players appreciate the ability to enable various options without a major performance hit.
“On the plus side, all the options from the launcher can now be turned on without significant performance impact.”
“Very smooth performance; I'm on a GTX 760 with an i5-3570K, no overclock, and everything moves like butter, including menu transitions and loading times.”
“It's like trying to play an unplayable game; major stuttering around corners making the bike uncontrollable.”
“Never before has stuttering been a game-breaking issue for me in the Milestone MotoGP series; it has always been workable.”
“Stuttering still present though not earth-shattering.”
