Having fun with the game, but ever since fm4 i feel like I’m disconnected from the feeling of fun i had when i played fm4. Or is it just me?

Well seemed like the community aspects were removed after 4. Harder to communicate, harder to have good races with friends and boot people that are there to wreck.
I remember on 4 I had dozens of friends from all over the world, we played anytime we could. When my save got corrupted after a couple years, these players were able to send me tons of cars that I could sell, use, or whatever. That was community. We haven’t even had that option for years now. Miss it for sure.

I’d be happy to return to fm4 graphics and all and be able to use my Fanatec hardware. I agree and what mostly i was driving at, and for some reason Turn 10 seems to not want the things we like in game. Makes zero sense to me anyway.

Forza 5 was the last one I played up till the recent one, Forza 4 was when the series peaked if you ask me at least in terms of community and online racing.
But I’m loving this one, yes it misses things that made 4 great but the fixed multiplayer races each week are a win if you ask me.
The safety and ranking system also have potential, although I don’t feel they are doing much right now in terms of safety or ranking as every race is so varied in skill and pretty much always starts off as a bloodbath but the potential is there.
I’d love to see open lobbies not ranked running too and for them to bring back clubs really need to ask Turn 10 why they won’t because everyone seems to miss these elements

It’s honestly a bit of both. Turn10 dropped the ball, but so did the community. We kept telling them to change stuff because the formula of all the Forza games was getting rather stale, and after the missteps of FM7, they decided to jump a few hoops that no one saw coming to come up with a new solution. I don’t blame the developers in that regard, because the community (and I admit, I’ve not been the happiest with the new game, but not for the reasons most are) did not do them any favors.
Community oriented features like the lack of gifting has severely impacted the community. This place was thriving FM2 thru FM4. It was a fun spot to be back then when we had tuning garages releasing cars and such. I miss those days!
