what the heck Turn 10??? Your League set up is terrible! I CAN NOT get through one race that is set to simulation without someone purposely wrecking everyone. Not starting off the starting line to let others ram into them and causing a pile up! Just make a demolition derby hopper for these non serious racers. Your killing your own multiplayer modes. No regular drag hoppers like previous versions?? I have raced the “What A Drag” hopper til I’m sick of it. No private lobby search??? I have been racing on Forza since the OG but every newer version gets worse and worse. Please Turn 10, TURN THIS AROUND AND MAKE IT RIGHT…
Yeah, sadfully the Forza Community can’t handle Sim racing. And T10 doesn’t care. Maybe they can call the next game Demolution Derby 8.
I know it is incredibly frustrating at times. Need to use the tools that are available if you sustain enough damage that you can’t continue the race quit out, THEN this is the most Important part. Go to the poopheads xbox profile report him for at least unsportsmanlike behavior and give a description.
If you finish the race leave the driver feedback as well.
The lobbies are ours it is our job to police them, Turn 10 just administrates them and has the final say, but they can’t do anything if they don’t know what is going on.
And lastly you are welcome to race against me just add my GT and I’ll race you clean and maybe we can find some more clean lappers
T10 knows for years already this issue, Xbox too, but doesn’t do anything against it. Cause after 4 years still no punishments (racing rules) for ramming and corner-cutting. For example FM6 ForzaRC2 Monza Week. Never fixed exploits there and then rewarded people who used thoose exploits.
Further, I do not fully agree on that PC2 is better. I don’t like the fact that it is mainly build for Steering Wheel and that they not care about Controller users. The only thing that is good on PC2 is that they have Racing Rules (blue flag, punishments for ramming and corner-cutting.
i did some races with case last night was good stuff till a few players caused us hell …case i will add ya and we can see how it goes lol
Don’t forget to use vote to kick, the most underutilized feature to make lobbies better.
Its The Job of Turn10 to Look that The Open Lobbys/Leagues are Fair!
Even GT or PC2 are better as Forza but i Love Forza!
Please do Something about cutting (Slow Down like PC) and please do something about Those which Shoot out others…
I’m kind of on the fence on this one. I can see Turn 10’s dilemma; they sell a product to a user and the user wants to play it the way they want to. If there are specific “rules” players must follow, they should have been notified before purchasing.
So then perhaps it is up to the community to “police” the lobbies; however, this doesn’t work. It’s after the fact. I’ve already been knocked all over the track or watched the cheaters cut corners all night.
What we need are lobbies that can only be entered with a code, and that code can only be distributed via this forum.
Well honestly i don’t think that really matters…at all. There is more than 1 thing T10 forgot to mention, like all the removed features we had in past games and are now absent. But yea, no point in discussing this here though.
In my opinion the difference in drivers vary in the extremest way possible, when i just started league racing (like everyone else) you had to get through the [Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D] drivers first before coming up against players than race somewhat clean (less ramming, but corner cutters still present in every band). I am currently in the band i probably belong to at the moment, i don’t get first place so easy anymore and the driving style of others match mine. Rule of thumb, don’t pass when there is no room for it and respect your fellow racers, 9 out of 10 times they do the same…(unless its the last lap, the magical number always seems to put people in hard mode).
I agree that there could be some changes to cater to everyone. There are people who race clean, but might not be the fastest so they remain in the lower ranked league matches and that really is off putting for them because nobody in the lower band respect each other or racing in general.
Not sure if it still works but to get easier points and get out of the first band, leave the lobby after a race and join a new one so you get to start from last place again. This means you got a lot more room to score points. If you are actually faster than the average driver (or crasher huehue) than it should not really matter if you start last place, don’t have to get 1st place to earn points.
We had those lobbies in the past, we were able to create open lobbies to the public and kick the bad apples out. It was one of those key features that was removed to enhance the multiplayer experience.
It’d be nice if standing start cars could stay ghosted til the player started driving.
Vote To Kick is underutilized. It only takes a small handful of votes to kick a troll. It does take a couple races to identify and verify most trolls, plus a couple to get the votes to kick, so figure 4 races to get rid of them. Takes a bit of patience. But if you’re settling in for a 2 hour session, that’s like 12 races, hopefully 8 of them good.
The problem imho is that clean racing is not rewarded enough.
It does not matter if you are in 1st or 20th if you race clean. Well it does matter and it should matter, in fact it is the most important thing.
I just raced at long beach, I started 7th and I and like 12 others got clobbered in one of the opening lap left handers. From then on I picked my way up to 2nd making no contact with anyone. On the 2nd to last lap 17th was up ahead and weaved hard right into a wall I took the “safe” outside line and he came bouncing off the wall, veered left and drove straight into me. My car suffers about 40% damage because of this idiot.
Then on the last lap I came around a corner and 16th is parked or slowly moving, I try to quick steer left but clip his bumper and spin. Now I have suffered 30% more damage and my car goes into limp mode. From 2nd and 2 back marker idiots I can only go 40mph top speed and drop to 6th and the timer runs out before I can cross the finish line.
-77 points.
It’s crap like this that makes me want to set the game on fire.
I am up to enthusiast 2 and I so want t get to the next tier and lose some of this insanely bad group of drivers.
The game should be rewarding you on staying in and around the racing line, hitting the braking zones correctly, NOT driving into people, not brake checking and not weaving erratically.
So what if I started 3rd and finished 6th if I raced well and clean give me points to move up.
If you start 8th and drive like an ass and use crashing into other cars to brake into turns and finish 4th your points should go down.
I have done over 100 league races and have never once seen someone setup a pass, stay close and then execute it.
true words!
Unfortunately there is no way to remove the human element from online racing. It doesn’t matter if there are rules people will still wreck.
The best way to approach online racing is to expect that everyone is gonna screw you over. When u pass a car expect it to wreck you n then when it doesn’t it’s a bonus. Go in to it expecting the worst and then when things go bad u expect it and when things go good its a bonus.
Make sure you click on the name of bad drivers n report dirty driving or cheating n vote to kick.
Also give good feedback on those of us who do drive clean.
KEEP REPORTING THE WRECKERS AND THEY WILL GET BANNED
Why can’t they just auto ghost people who don’t brake and full throttle into corners.
And ghost back markers when they’re getting lapped.
Cars really don’t ghost long enough when there’s an impact and come back to normal at seemingly random intervals, like when you think you’re going to pass through a ghosted car and they pop back in just before.

Simulation and cosmetic damage shouldnt be a choice u make but 1 t10 makes based on your skill as it was on fm6. The higher divisions elite and pinnicle had sim damage on, lower leagues had it off.
Okay… let me start by saying that I love the idea of the league racing. When you have a group of decent drivers racing… it is a blast! Myself, I am not a good driver. I race clean. Use a controller, automatic shifting and ABS. So I never win but I have reasonable finishes sometimes and I am fine racing at the back of the pack…it’s fun! And that’s what I am looking for. Oh and i luv the simulations damage…
[Mod edit - WSD - Profanity and alluding to profanity is against the ToS}
But!
What kills me is when I finish behind drivers that have dropped from the race after the first big accident or I finish behind a driver that doesn’t have a lap time or I finish behind a driver (last night!) that halfway through a race is driving the course in reverse and then coming after others to wreck. How does that work?!?!?!?!?! Anyway very frustrating.
Also how do I finish a race in 9th position and then when the standings come up I am in 18th? Come on guys… make some sense!
