[h2]Highlights[/h2]

• Did you think we were done improving scrubs? Not quite yet! Scrubs are now looser and easier to bring back, safer and more reliable on steep jumps, and even have new animations.
  
• No more AI bullying! Impacts between Players and AI have been reworked to give Players the advantage. Now it's your turn to shove them around!
  
• Say goodbye to weird wrecks in deep ruts! Chassis collision has been revamped to improve interactions with deformed terrain and other obstacles.
  
• ATVs got some much-needed love. They are now heavier, bounce less on hard landings, and have improved suspension.
  
• Button remapping is finally here! Create custom controls by remapping nearly every input in the game.
  
• If you're looking for a challenge before the start of the moto season, look no further than the newly improved Expert Supercross tracks! Deeper whoops and bigger jumps will have you checking your speed and rethinking those rhythms!
  
• Race starts are looking a little more lively with new start gate warm-up animations and attack pose animations. Get yourself into the attack pose by holding the clutch and throttle then leaning forward so you're ready when the gates drop!
  
• Take on your rivals with new graphic kits from Rival Ink for the 2023 OEM DLC MX Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Honda bikes.
  
• The Season 2 Compound DLC is a double feature! Take your skills to the limit on the KTM RD Field, then go all out on the GOAT Farm; updated for its return in Legends.
  
• Happy Holidays, from us to you! We've decked the garage with festive holiday decor. And if you're feeling jolly, try on the new Holiday Gear and take out your sleigh.

• Environment: Reworked terrain deformation in all environments for improved accuracy and appearance. Tire ruts are narrower and better fit tire width.
  
• Gameplay: Added Enduro event category with 1 existing track and 1 more track coming soon.

• Physics: Adjusted chassis collision to improve interactions with deformed terrain and drivable objects.
  
• Physics: Adjusted scrub (and whip) behaviors based on continued community feedback and to reconcile changes to the chassis collision. Airborne controls are now slightly looser and more responsive. Scrubs can be initiated more reliably on steep jump faces and much sooner before takeoff.
  
• Physics: Fixed a bug which sometimes caused wrecks upon landing after performing a whip or scrub.
  
• Physics: Reduced penalty impact to steering control when triggering a near-wreck with that penalty.

• Physics: Increased the mass of the ATV slightly to make it feel more grounded. Adjusted ATV suspension to compensate for adjustments to the mass and chassis collision. ATVs are now heavier and bounce less on hard land landings.
  
• Physics: Increased the influence of forward and backward leaning on suspension. Pitching the rider forward and backwards will now make it easier to keep the front-end up in whoop sections.
  
• Animation: Added three new warm-up animations to riders at the start gate: shoulder hype, shadow boxing, and glove warmer.
  
• Animation: Added attack pose animation to AI riders before the gate drop. Get yourself into the attack pose by holding the clutch and throttle then leaning forward to keep the front wheel down.
  
• Animation: Added unique rider animations to scrubs and quick scrubs to help differentiate them visually. Both animations now start on the face of the jump, have improved rider body position, and are responsive to inputs while airborne.
  
• Animation: Updated some near-wreck animations to appear more natural and better illustrate the cause of the condition.
  
• Animation: Improved cornering animations to help communicate when the bike is losing traction. During the slide, the eider becomes more upright and will start to lose balance right before completely sliding out.
  
• Animation: Fixed over-extended suspension on some MX bikes when viewing bikes in the Garage menus.
  
• Animation: Fixed over-extended suspension on some MX bikes when airborne during gameplay.

[h2]Highlights[/h2]

• Thanks to your feedback on the changes to scrubs, they are the best they have ever been. Scrubs and whips now have more freedom of movement, clearer detection and execution, and still offer major competitive benefits.
  
• See how the best riders perform on Global Cross-Platform Leaderboards! Can you handle the competition?
  
• Tired of going back to the compound to change vehicles or modify your tune? Well now you don't have to! Get into the Garage, Locker, and more right in the middle of a Time Trial.
  
• Haybales now fade away right after getting hit by a Player and also turn off their collision, until they are re-spawned. This prevents haybales from wrecking someone's race and also prevents getting stuck on them.
  
• New Parts! Unique matte graphic kits are now available for all MX bikes!
  
• Sneak Peek! 2023 KTM and Husqvarna MX bikes are coming soon.
  
• Sneak Peek! 2023 Compound pack almost here! See if you have what it takes to be a factory rider... or a motocross legend.
  

[h2]Detailed changelog[/h2]

• Leaderboard: Added Cross-Platform records to the Leaderboards. Each record now displays the console on which it was generated. Results can now be filtered to display all platforms or just a specific platform family.
  
• Environment: Adjusted materials and lighting on Savannah and Capital City, and fixed minor object placement issues.
  
• Gameplay: Updated Time Trial to allow players to change vehicles and modify tuning during play. Changing vehicles, parts or tuning will restart the event.

• Gameplay: Updated Time Trial to allow UTVs to run Supercross events.
  
• Gameplay: Added Whips, Scrubs, and Quick Scrubs to the stunt system. This allows them to be used to chain together stunt combos. This also serves as an indicator as to when a scrub is actually being performed.
  
• Gameplay: Added Hydroplane to the stunt system.
  
• Gameplay: Unlocked all Rainbow vehicles from the start of the game. THQN vehicles are now unlocked during the career. Have more fun with less limits right from the jump.

• Physics: Adjusted scrub (and whip) behaviors based on community feedback.

Further tuning should be expected, but it appears that all exploitable cases have been resolved.
  
• Physics: Added options to Gameplay Settings adjust the scrub and quick scrub input deadzones.
  
• Physics: Added options to Gameplay Settings to change the in-air gyro behavior to be similar to the wheel-spin-acceleration model used in Reflex. With this setting enabled, bikes are less prone to over-rotation when using the throttle and much more responsive to pitch adjustments when applying the brake.
  
• Animation: Fixed various minor animation bugs.
  
• Other: Optimized terrain deformation, improving performance game-wide by up to 1 FPS.
