Please make proto h series permanent. Also add LMH & LMDH cars.

Please, for love of god, get rid of the timed exclusive reward cars. I’m 30 years old and have been playing Forza since middle school. It’s completely unethical to hide content behind time requirements that I, along with what I assume is a large percentage of the player base, simply don’t have time to complete anymore. It’s extremely frustrating and, frankly, feels alienating to a long time player.

Timed exclusives are fine, as long as they’re made available to everyone after the “exclusivity period” has expired.

Plenty of options exist for what T10 could do to incentivize players to play, without making content permanently unavailable after a set period of time.

Sure, some people will play (many of them begrudgingly) to get the reward cars, but many people can’t - due to life or other commitments. FOMO is a short-sighted tactic for driving player engagement. Build a better game and people will actually want to play it - no tricks or underhanded tactics necessary.

I don’t know what they were thinking making the reward cars completely unobtainable once the tour ends. Horizon at least has the auction house if you missed something you really wanted. Maybe I’ll get the Alfa Romeo from last month’s open tour when they re-run it in a year or two…

They Artificially Put Reward Cars for a Limited Time For Extended play Time &
“Player Engagement” I Don’t Enjoy To Much Grind It’s Incredibly tedious & Makes me Not Want to Play The Game & Some Cars especially heavy cars they Feel Floaty & not connected to the Track

1974 Porsche #1 911 RSR

I’ve completed the Open series with all 4 gold trophies but I have not been given the Porsche reward, which makes the grind not only tedious but pointless. From looking (with great difficulty) through this forum it seems that this has been an ongoing problem since launch. I’ve raised a ticket with Microsoft but I suppose I should contact Turn 10 too, because there’s nothing like tedious form filling to get your jollies.

I totally agree with that floaty and disconnected feeling. It’s one of the major flaws in the “so called” great physics of FM8.

@ClosingBadge7 , One of the things I’ve noticed about the floatty and disconnected feeling is it seems to be mostly prevalent in older cars from FM7, cars pre 2019. I don’t think they applied the same physics handling dynamics to cars that were imported into the game from previous versions. Just wondering if you’ve noticed this to or if not, take a ckeck and see.

Gladly. Maybe start a list of the floaty cars?

Anyone else experiencing the floaty and disconnected feeling with pre 2019 cars? Or maybe with older pre 2000 cars?
