Online has always been idiots crashing into each other. Doesn’t matter what Forza game it was. AI has always been bad, only drivatars are a strange mask for it. Also Forza has been about cars more than anything for a long time. Probably starting with Forza 3.
To me me this sounds more like frustrated outburst of anger. It is not as bad when you look it in calm mind. It is not perfect at current state but it is not horrible either. When they fix some of the core issues like stutter and crash people feel much more relaxed.
AI however feels like the harder you put it, the harder it tries to kill you. They don’t go faster, they go more psychotic. Races has become survival since i put it in unbeatable. But all i need is few sticky bombs and a portable gatling it’s all good from there.
For competetive players forza 7 is trash. Ok it looks nice and the carrier is maybe better than before. But thats it…nothing to do. I want to compete on the leaderboard ( oh there is none) and drive some nice races in leagues (yeah still closed). So there is just nothing for me to do. I was bored after 2-3 Days. For a casually driver it may be an ok game but for me its the worst Forza launch ever and i think this was the last Forza i bought.
Hot lapping has got better in my opinion, ok the access to the leaderboards is not great, but I much prefer the Division of cars. The boards just need filling up a bit with more people putting in laps in Free Prac mode. crank up the lap count, remove the AI cars and away you go!
I’ve been back playing 6 this week as I wanted to race online, they’ve utterly decimated multi-player in 7, I guess I’ll never race p class cars online again.
I think it’s been done on purpose to kill off the franchise and move over to FH
I love it when people come on a post and say that, while ignoring all the technical issues, poor design choices and lack of improvement in some areas. I know some posts go overboard with the complaining or lack of constructive criticism but FM7 is not a great release.
FM7 might not be the worst but most of the issues are inexcusable.
FM4 was NOT the worst. That honor goes to FM1 and FM5. That said, I don’t put FM4 on a pedestal like many do. The single player campaign made no sense and was just a series of random races that did not promote any diversity in choice of car. The main things it had going for it were the multiplayer things since removed. The actual on track gameplay is miles better in FM7 especially with a wheel.
