Forza 6 private multiplayer game setup/options suck, major downgrade from Forza 4

My friends and I typically play a lot of private multiplayer games. The pinnacle of development was reached in Forza 4. So here with are with Forza 6 and good lord the whole experience is dumbed down compared to two versions back… Forza 4!

Here are a few of the issues:

Only 5 bots/drivatars are added to the lobby for each human competitor? If I want 2 or 3 human players and 24 bots, why can’t I do this?
I can’t adjust/change the bot/drivatars aggressiveness/skill level/vehicle individually? Dumb. If I want several expert drivers, several hard drivers and several beginning drivers? Why not?
The 5 bots/drivatars that show up with each invited human (see above) don’t typically change their cars when the lobby rules change to different car classes. I can find no way to force them to change vehicles.
There isn’t a SAVE setup option to keep the same game option settings from session to session.
When setting up a team game, the score isn’t kept from race to race. I don’t even see the point of a team game anymore.
The race results screen is buried under a sub menu, it should be the default screen after completing a race to show lap times, finish times and placement. Just another dumb change.
Scores/points aren’t kept from race to race, and even if they were they’d probably be buried on a sub menu.

Maybe the solution would be to keep the graphics of forza 6 but roll back the multiplayer private options to exactly what Forza 4 offered.

You can force the drivatars to change cars by going into the settings, change max drivatars to zero, save changes, pick your own cars, go back into settings and change the max drivatars back to 23 or whatever number you’re looking for. It’s a pain, but it does work.

I have to agree with everything you say. I think multiplayer as a whole just wasn’t very well thought out. The menus are clunky and the lobby variation for standard multiplayer is poor. In fact I actually prefered FM5s multiplayer experience to FM6. Forza 4s was by far the best and 3s was better than what we have now.
