I was wondering what is going in. With the marketplace in forza 5 . Are we going to be able to auction off cars we don’t want for money or is that just an easy way to get to the dlc.
Also is the game not finished because it looks that way there are only a hand full of tracks to race on.

No. It’ll just be an easy way to access downloadable content. The game is plenty finished.

Spoiler: with everything we know about the Forza franchise, the ‘marketplace’ is simply a place to purchase downloadable content within the game menu itself. That said, if you are getting antsy in your pantsy, take a visit to the Forza Motorsport 5 add-ons screen from the Xbox One homepage and go nuts.

I was thinking the same thing.
Bottom line is it will be ready when Turn 10 says it’s ready.

As The Shadow Edge said its just a way for you to get DLC just the same as Forza 4. I dont understand why people are getting so excited about the marketplace, I guess there will be plenty of rant posts on how disapointed poeple are when they find out the marketplace is the same as Forza 4 and there was nothing to get excited about.

Yes indeed. To all you “Where’s the marketplace” people, please read this twice. The marketplace will not be a reinstatement of the Storefront. These are two different things. The marketplace, at least in FM4, is simply the in-game DLC market.

Forza keeps on saying that the marketplace is “coming soon”. They have been saying that for over a month. What will the marketplace be? The word “soon” can no longer apply here because “soon” means in a little while or in a short period of time. Why can they not tell us what to expect? Is there some harm in doing so?

You could probably have searched for the many, many other threads asking this same question.
The marketplace will likely just be an ingame DLC repository. That’s what it was in FM4. No one here will really know for sure until it gets released.

Has it been announced yet what the marketplace will be? will it be something similar to the storefront, or just a place to showcase all of the dlc they want us to buy? or something else?

yes theres been no official word but the marketplace has always been where you purchase dlc.

Don’t purchase the vehicles you don’t want. The game doesn’t gift vehicles as rewards so getting rid of those you don’t want shouldn’t be a problem. Also, Dan Greenawalt has made it clear the auction house features will not be in Forza 5; so, your expectation that the ‘Marketplace’ is anything more than what it has been in the past (a place to purchase DLC), is wildly optimistic.

By the time they have ‘marketplace’ up & running, there will be no more DLC to purchase…nothing wrong with optimism, btw.

This just looks like the mess the unicorns in the auction house thing was from forza 4. What I mean is it was intended as a good idea but in the end was a mess and was dropped. This I imagine is something that has not worked out so well with the Xbox one platform. In the end I am willing to bet this will also not ever develop into anything .

Theres more chance of the market place tile quietly dissappearing in an update tbh.

why are there this kind of discussions still ?
why are people so angry against such questions ?
there is a clear statement inside the game about its “soon to arrive” status.
once again, if the game had been finished instead of being rushed, this would not be a problem:
- either the feature would work.
- or the feature would not be there in the first place.
Yeah… I Was hoping it would be open by now, they should at least compensate for these thing’s with a little bit more than a free 3 car honda pack, although it’s a real nice 3 car pack, it seem’s like every forza got one 3 car free pack, I’m surprised there isn’t a “Free” Car out of every pack like FM4.
But the whole, Drag Tire’s… But No Drag Racing On the Limited Collector’s Edition Disk… Or Even In The League’s Section Is just Wrong… 
You’d think there would be a Single Player Drag Section With Different Type’s Of Car’s For Each Event Inside Drag Racing’s League, They Also Should of gave out free Digital Code’s Inside The Disk’s Casing! Sense everything’s so “Cloud Based” & “Digital On Demand”… the only game i own on disk Is FM5 LCE. & Just got the Car Pass, Which i’m regretting it now, i could be playing Killer Instinct. :(… & to think my mind came across wanting to own the Digital Edition of FM5. Ughhh… The game’s good but not that good.
It Seem’s like i can point out 100 glitches in less than an hour with FM5, I Just hope with the “Cloud Based Update’s” They can fix it! & Add more to it, but not charge more & more & more…
Here is Some quick thing’s they should be able to do via “Cloud Update”… don’t see why not? but these thing’s seem essential to update, & see no reason why they couldn’t? all the content’s basically there, you’re just reversing the track’s & car spawn/start area’s/line’s.
#1. Reversed Track’s to those that don’t have them to add to the course lineup. Track’s such as. “Circuit de Sp-Francorchamps” “Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca” “Mount Panorama Circuit” “Circuit de Catalunya”… Inside Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe “Full Circuit” “Bugatti Circuit” & “Old Mulsanne Circuit” Have Reversed Track’s So then there would be 6 selection’s instead of 3. There’s quite a few track’s that cannot be run in reverse.
#2. Say you Go to League Select, Sport Compact, Super Mini… Where it say’s “Game Mode” Race Rule’s" “Gold Payout” “Gold”… Have an Update that will show # Of Lap’s Inside those events. I Can never tell if it will be 2 or 3, if 3 i can usually run a clean lap on the 3rd lap. i noticed 2 lap’s i mostly get dirty time’s.
#3. Keep Updating the game’s car’s that are already in it, so you can see under the hood of every car, & not just some… is there a “List Of Car’s” that show’s What Car’s Are FULL Autovista? & Can you see the Engine Conversion’s when the hood is lifted in Autovista when upgrades are applied?
#4. A Way to Sell/Gift Car’s & Sell Car Part’s back to the game. & A Better Community System In-Game.
It’s been a 50/50 with me so far, it’s taking them time. but i hope it’s worth it for some BIG Update’s to the Menu’s/UI. It’s very possible sense the WHOLE Game can update into something completely different if the Update is Large Enough, 1 Update can change the WHOLE Game around in every area of the game in the coming months. But the “Coming Soon” Marketplace maybe more than “Just A Marketplace” & that’s why it’s taking them so much time! I Just hope it was worth waiting for.
