Maybe they try to push the competetive multiplayer of the game and force to play the regular open multiplayer. For me thats not an option. I dont like the regular multiplayer. Either you get rammed of the streets or the last players leave the game. Thats not an race for me. AI drivers are the most honest players in this point. I will never get familar with the decision to lock out players who want to drive with some friends and ai drivers…
Cheers
Could you show where in the Forza news it says this? Thanks
Because they are Turn 10. They always do this.
When the game first comes out, a few of them will bump around in some of the early glitch threads. They ignore the questions about so-called “features” unless they become huge threads, then sometimes one will pop in and make some “at this time we are going in a different direction” style of vague comment without explaining anything and go back to ignoring it.
It is possible this is something that will come online later after the official release day but that is being optimistic. We can hope though.
It’s a perfectly characteristic move from Turn 10 though.
Hi
Is this possible? I have a friend I want to play with online and just race against the AI.
No. This has been removed in FM7.
Another commonly used feature that they decide to unceremoniously drop.
Oh come on, thats the reason why me and my friend bought this game 
. To do 1h+ races togehter against the AI
Is this for real? Have they removed the only way me and my friends have been playing Forza?? I’m amazed…
umm… I’d really like T10 to explain this decision, because it makes ZERO sense to me, especially with how much Horizon 3 pushed co-op…
I hope they change their minds.
Yep, just another thing that’s been tampered with for no reason. It’s staggering that there have been so many backwards steps in so many areas. I hope they change their minds too but doubt they will…
They got 700 cars and 4k ? Who needs to have fun just sit and watch the 4k “dynamic” weather .
You forgot the driver gear! But you’re right, silly me. I thought it was a driving game, but obviously not.
Is this a prank?
I applied for a refund (and got it), this counting for 85% of the decision to do so… Makes med sad that it had to come to this after 12 years as a faithful customer and fan of the Forza Motorsport series.
Will this be fixed?
Are they missing because we’re still in early access?
Or are AI drivers in private lobbies not part of their “vision of the game”?
I really wish they would have advised ahead of release the feature drop list, seems more features where dropped than those added.
I’m another one who is now stuck with a game I cant play with friends , and would really like to know if there are plans to bring this feature back with a patch at some point or if I should just refund a very very expensive single player only game, out side of the terrible MP lobbies that are restrictive as hell.
With FH3 offering a full co-op experience this title just feels like its gone backwards, even F1 series , Project Cars ect all offer co-op racing or racing with friends and AI why is it the number one racing franchise from Microsoft now offers almost nothing in terms of multiplayer options and comes in a cool 60dollars more than its completion !.
Sad because I do like the game but with no way to play with friends FH3 is far better product overall sad because id much rather circuit racing .
I don’t want to jump the gun since “full release” is tomorrow, but not being able to play with my friends really is a deal-breaker…
Some answers would be appreciated.
It’s funny. In Forza 6 everybody was like “Come on, T10, let us choose cars for the drivatars”. The response is no more Drivatars in private multiplayer.
Yep deal breaker indeed, for me putting down the asking price for ultimate edition was my way of support one of my favorite franchises but stripping away options to play with friends broke the deal.
Game has now been refunded. I really do hope Turn 10 wakes up a bit here offers some feedback for others or better yet adds some real multiplayer options for friends to play this game together and maybe then I can re purchase but as history goes this feature set is probably all we will get so refund was the best option for me.
I guess there is a chance as T10 have said that they are rolling out more multiplayer and online features over the next few weeks… but it would make no sense to hold back AI in private lobbies would it? So business as usual… keep guessing as we won’t be told anything until it happens, IF it does.
