dont get me wrong, FM5 is an AMAZING driving sim, i dont regret the money spent 1 bit, but the fact that soccer and cat & mouse are missing is a huge letdown. the game itself, FM5, is lightyears ahead of FM4 in terms of realism/physics/graphics/gameplay, but the playground stuff, soccer in particular, was such a great and entertaining distraction from racing, i dont know why they would not include it. same goes for user created public lobbies, 1 of Forzas’s best features, now missing…
hopefully the soccer community will let their voices be heard here in the new forums, and turn 10 can hear us and add these features to FM5.
oh and thank you for the praise, your no slouch either! lol

For me, the physics and graphics are the two most important aspects of the game and from what you and others have said, both are outstanding. I certainly think T10 were correct to focus on getting those two the best that they can be. That being said, the game still needs more to keep people entertained long term. I was looking forward to innovative new features such as a penalty system of some for controlling bad behaviour in online racing, making clubs bigger and better, things that would really advance and benefit the online experience. Of course, it was taken for granted that game modes like soccer would be carried over. The opposite of this happened and the game was stripped down to the point where it seems the only thing worth doing is hot lapping. I’ll probably get the xbox 1 and FM5, but i’m in no hurry.

Here is a list of items that can be improved in Forza Motorsports 5 by Fight 4 Her Motorsports (F4H). These are the major issues that we could come up with in a quick party chat, im sure there is more we’ve missed.
-Save replays in multiplayer races

-Invite players other than ones in party (party cap is 8, multiplayer private race is 16)
-Ability to save room settings for online play
-Be able to set grids in race by lobby points
-Limited damage setting
-Driveatars should drive in max PI cars in user created races, same as career
-Ability to gift tunes, paints and vynl groups
-Fix areo in pits
-Distance meter
-Best lap and previous lap displayed in race
-Ability to “rent” any car
-Be able to sell cars
-Tuning in lobby
-Car clubs
-The quick sand at Indianapolis (turn on LeMans) should be a bit further away from the track
-Lack of quick sand on Yas Marina, track can be cut almost everywhere.
A hide UI button on replays. The UI does disappear but only after 10-15 seconds which makes recording videos using game dvr more challenging than it should be.
Edit: (for more stuff)
the steering wheel doesn’t move in replays where I used my thrustmaster. (follow / check my upload studio videos for an example)
Telemetry isn’t available in replays which is how I tune cars.
Sell cars back to the game.
Auction House.
Gift cars.
Shared garage (even if it’s just a shared garage which friends can access - I’m not fussed about the return of car clubs as a whole).
Custom lobbies (with the ability to create race series, choose AI cars etc).
More variety in career (drag races, drift events, etc).
Track DLC (I see there’s a separate thread for specific track desires).
+Ability to avoid or blackball drivatars from friends list. Also to like and promote others.
+Drivatars to use actual cars and tunes used in event. Or failing that maybe a few grip builds added to mix it up with the usual muscle builds.
Not all of my friends list are racers, most tend to be from FPS’s. Most of my friends list do have Forza 5 however, due to the general lack of games. No idea how the system chooses which of your friendlist are selected, but in my case the weight seems to be in favour of those who almost never play. And i imagine, or guess from the antics when they do play, that damage is off and other cars are simply turning aids.
Friends who do have decent drivatars, rarely appear, a real shame. My only real gripe with Forza.
Car Clubs \ Shared Garages - this is a MUST HAVE feature…!!
Ability to gift cars, tunes, designs
Telemetry in replays
Split time in centre of screen
Keep fastest laptime on screen
