Theoretically it’s currently possible.

Step 1: Invite 23 other players with gamertags “AI”.

Step 2: Force those players to drive with every single assist on.

Voila - you’re very own “AI” filled private lobby.

And who says I’m not helpful :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

If they did everyone would complete the MP achievements without playing with multiple people!

I am still hopeful that they will add it to the game although their track record for responding in the forums or to requests is extremely sub-par compared to other developers.

Is it possible to add drivatars in MP like in previous FM games?

No.

In private lobbies or public hoppers? No idea if you can or not. Could see it being useful in private lobbies but in the hoppers, it would be hell.

Just got to ask Why would you want them in MP they are bad enough in Single player Campaign why inflect them on the MP community as well ???

You er probably right, even though alot of the real people drive worse than the AI drivatards. I have been in lobbies with only one person and can see where it would help…maybe?

AI works in MP to help fill empty grids. I would only want it for private lobbies because I don’t have 32 friends that can all play at the same time. It was a feature in all previous games, although it was nerfed for 6. It’s really the only reason we don’t play 7 at all and many of my friends have gone back to Forza 6.

Is this going to be added in a later patch?

I think this time around they have shown their real focus is only on Forza RC stuff. Everything I see about this game revolves around it. I think forced multiplayer is what they intend for everyone, for now and the future. With the news about a new penalty system being implemented, it is a step in the right direction, although too late for too many. I am one of those people who would love to get together with a few select friends and fill up the rest of the track with AI drivers so we have to deal with traffic, but I feel like we are being forced to drive with random idiots and sore loser rammers.

So, I am thinking if this is the new direction with homologation restrictions, off-road trucks and SUV’s, forced online multiplayer to have a full track for competition, and celebrity rival events, maybe Forza has forgotten what made their series so popular all those years ago. Im sure many of these new features appeal to lots of people, but they shouldn’t remove features we have grown to like. I kept hoping over a few months this feature would be added, but I get the feeling it isn’t in line with their new direction and its kinda sad. So I will just stick with racing AI in campaign mode or free play and hopefully another company somewhere sees what this game is missing and adds it. I’ve got my fingers crossed for the new Assetto Corsa but not holding my breath.

There are rumors about Gran Turismo 7 also, but E3 probably will tell us more (if that rumor is true).

Rumor is most likely false as the devs of GT themselves have already said that focusing on real racing is their new goal. They said they had 0 plans for any titles like the previous ones unless they flat out lied to their community which would be both good and bad.

Agreed.

This basic feature still not possible ? wow !!! LOL

So does this mean they will be trying to alienate small groups of people playing together with AI to fill the lobbies in a private race like Forza has or not? I have never played GT series so im not sure of their setup.
