Yeah they’ve been very scarce in FM6. Not really monthly. Lacking in spark or flair. I would have thought there could have been all kinds of interesting rivals dreamed up for the new and historic cars that have come with DLC but nah, just hasn’t happened and we’re 3 months on already.
There has been a tangible lack of enthusiasm or care or something since FM6 launched. Just seems there’s no energy left in Turn 10.

Totally agree, it’s not worth to have the Ultimate Edition in my opinion. I made this mistake to buy it and now i regret that choice. Updates were made (Monza → still the same), still useless creditsystem, multiplayer online (already known how enjoyable it is), times listed of cars which are not in that class which is shown, GT-Cars in R-Class don’t get the full PI, etc…
Overall, the community wished a lot of good features back to this one, Turn10 didn’t care about, invented “so good new features”, spending too much time with drivatarsystem…my last Forza for sure.

IIRC, phREDesign was the one who managed the Monthly Rivals we’ve enjoyed in previous Forzas. When he left T10 back in July I wondered if someone else would step up and continue his work. I guess we have our answer.
A few years ago, phRED and/or Mechberg opened a thread asking for FM4 Rivals ideas. I wonder if that thread could be mined for FM6 or Horizon 2 Rivals?
I can’t imagine where the problem should be to get an idea of an rival, just pick a track and car or car-class. So it can’t be easier, but seems creativity can be very hard.

Rivals have gotten progressively worse and unimaginative since forza 5. In forza 5 there were multiple months where they were not updated at all going up to 2 months between updates. I can count multiple times where the rivals were just build your fastest #class car, which ended up being leaderboard cars ##yawn. In forza 6 No drag rivals at all (don’t get me started about the lack of drag leaderboards). No monthly drift rivals…
MAn I could see if we were 2 years into forza 6 and the rivals were slowing down due to the f7 push., but were only a couple months into f6…

The Rivals were pretty good in Horizon 2 I reckon. Completely flat now.

I wouldn’t consider them Monthly anymore, but rather “Unique Rivals” that show up every so often to tie in with a DLC car or some form of promotional event.
Personally I don’t have much interest in those types of Rival events, but I do like that the general Leaderboards for all classes/tracks are now Rivals-based, as I can now get CR and XP rewards for hotlapping/testing.
Probably should be labeled something besides monthly then.

It doubly counts for those that paid for VIP too.

Phred left turn 10? I guess that explains why there’s no cycled production hoppers either, he used to do those too.

Turn 10 has really dropped the ball on so much with FM6.
. I regret my ultimate edition purchase as well, I’ll never have as many hours in 6 as I did 5, and neither as much as 4.
I’ve also been a bit disgusted with a lack of updates rivals, especially since it’s a “benefit” of VIP. It’s been absolutely sparse. So so dissaponted in this iteration. Actually looking forward to a better Pcars and GT7.
I never though T10 would go the way of PD by not acknowledging the fans concerns, nor implementing tried and true ideas that were removed from previous games. It’s mind blowing that the voice chat is Sega Dreamcast level, the disconnects, the abundant glitches, and overwhelming lack out support from T10. I’m a huge car guy so I still occasionally fire it up, but disgust soon follows…

Maybe a mod should move this to the wish list thread, lol!
. Wish being for monthly rivals to be MONTHLY!

Another shining example of Turn 10 and their great post launch community involvement.

Why is it that three months have passed with as many car packs and there are no new challenges?

3 months = 3.75 years in doggy years (small breed) just sayin
Sure, that makes sense!
This game is a joke, add this to the list of unanswered questions about the game and or its features. I think turn 10 has thrown in the towel to be honest, other than for photo contests of course, those still get some love.
