First off let me state that I have been playing racing games at least thirty years or more.
I finished the game fighting the cars to stay in first place (horror able )
I started messing around with the game and tuning cars and trying them on different tracks to figure out why you have to fight the cars to drive them and why the front brakes would apply well after doing a few races and some rival events I finally figured it out the game is set to keep you from beating the top leaders in the game the second you get close to beating their time it locks the front brakes and the car loses all control. ( I wish I could get a video of it to show how bad it is )
Why do I have to race on a learners permit?
Why cant I get a race license ?
In all the other race games that I played I got a super license, ( FORZA don’t even offer to give the license )
If you have answers feel free to send me an email or a private message Thanks
You figured wrong the game is NOT set to keep from beating the top leaders and anyone can beat them you just have to be faster.
Perahaps unlike many other games/sims you may have tired Forza brakes do lock up rather easily and can be rather sensitive, some cars more than others. It rather amuses me how even with ABS on you can really lock up the brakes and go into a skid for 30 even 40 meters or more. It is just the way the game is, in real life cars without ABS do lock up and you can not just put the brake fully down on a race car and hold it there and expect good results. Those brakes will lock up and you will skid. So you need to learn how to let up when the brakes start to catch and lock.
Well if no one else is having this problem then it has to be a glitch in my game.
FYI if they give you a car to use in the rival events it has to be ran the way you get it, I have not seen any way to tune them !
All I know is it is really starting to piss me off because all I get is a few credits for each event and have not yet been gifted any cars for my effort.
Secondly your are correct the stock cars in a rival event can not be tuned.
Thirdly credits are the only thing you will receive for racing or rival events. The community bounty hunter rival is the only event where you could receive a gift car but only if you are capable of besting the times.
If you keep finding yourself with a car locking up the tires when your so close to beating your rivals time it’s not the game! It’s you just making an mental error and applying too much braking pressure on the trigger or pedal. Believe me your not the only person who lock’s up the tires while trying too push a little harder and make up time and ground. Heck even the real pro’s make that same mistake in F1, Indy and every other motorsport. If your getting frustrated and making errors just take a step back and slow down for a lap or two or take a short break. The nice thing about Forza is that it’s just a game and it has a pause button. Pause the game walk away get a drink grab a snack and when your ready start again with your tires still warmed up and ready to rock.
Just a quick question? Did you adjust the dead zones if your using a controller?
