FM Update 7.0 Overview - Brands Hatch and Retro Racer Tour

An actual roadmap sounds reasonable.

I think the Builders cup needed for the expansion to include race cars endurance races qualifying more career and multiplayer content is the big plan in the update.

Just as long as it is both the full and Indy circuit, it’s a fine addition. The only thing I would say is that an Australian track should be higher up the queue (should be in there at launch) to fit in some of those cars from the Australian line up.

It would be a welcome surprise if this update includes substantially more than just a track, a few FOMO cars, & a few temporary playlists.

Periodic “cOnTeNt” updates are just the bare minimum par for the course in “sErViCe-BaSed” games.

Besides, it was already acknowledged before launch that the game would not have as much content at launch as prior titles in the series, so there are no bonus points for still playing catch-up 6-months post-launch.

It would not attract more customers or improve the dining experience to expand the menu selections at a restaurant that failed health department inspections due to insect, rodent, & mold infestations…
…Similarly, just adding more content does not improve the player experience in a game with so many high-impact issues & shortcomings.

I look forward to this becoming a better game, not just stacking “mOaR cOnTeNt” on top of the same stagnant mess.

Let’s hope that there will be some files related to the Bathurst in update 7.0.
Also if Bathurst comes, i want a Bathurst 500 tour.

I said this two or three months ago: With the declining number of players and the lack of content, one track per month and three or four cars is simply not enough.
If they want to bring players back, a package of three or four tracks (Sebring, Bathurst, Monza etc) and at least 20 cars would be the right answer. Apparently they don’t care. What annoys me most is the lack of communication. You wait a month and can only be disappointed. Whoever wants to understand why T10 doesn’t publish a roadmap.
The same disaster with the Nordschleife. It’s nice that it’s in the game, but where can I drive it? Only in free play and private lobbies…without tire wear. That’s a joke. Instead of simply setting up a permanent Nordschleife lobby in the MP. Sometimes I ask myself who works there and how we can develop past the remaining players.

No amount of content will ever be enough to make up for low quality and stale gameplay.

As much as I want Bathurst, Monza and Road Atlanta I really want to see a new to Forza track. So many great tracks that we’ve been asking for for years and still T10 ignores us and only give us what they think we want.

I don’t think adding 3 or 4 tracks in one month is possible for them. Unless you mean they should go silent for 3 or 4 months and then release all that stuff at once. But will there by any players to bring back after that time? :slight_smile:

Besides, judging by player count tracked via SteamDB, adding new tracks and cars alone is not enough, even Nordschleife combined with 35% discount not long after made little difference in terms of attracting new players.

I think expanding career mode and/or adding new gameplay features (like drifting) gives T10 better chances to raise those numbers. Even roadmap with plans to add such things could help. It’s also worth noting that Update 6, despite having no new track and only 4 recycled cars, finally lifted the game (barely) to “mixed” rating on Steam :slight_smile:

I love the track for those reasons. Keep up the pressure on the car in front and wait for a mistake.

The Election was Rigged and I’m still postus :turtle: :man_blond_hair: :hotdog:

I’ll try out MP the day they do cause the rammers couldn’t keep up, too many corners for those scum

Might help, but I don’t feel that T10 really want us to know what they are thinking until it’s that time of the month… and then if it’s not what you were hoping for you get that deflated feeling and here we go again, another month to wait, guessing what may or may not be added.

I feel there’s no real connection with the game, it just doesn’t have that feeling other games give where you think about wanting to play it

It’s cause hardly anyone is buying it on Steam. Some of the thumbs up posts are one liners so they aren’t really that positive. The thumbs down however seem to go into length about why they don’t like it and 99% of all the Neg posts all bring up the same facts. If Turn10 aren’t taking notice of them… Well
