It is absolutely sad and frustrating that T10 cannot take any valid criticisms of their current game. My post went into extreme detail about the visual and audio issues in the new FM, a template of sort that generalized all the issues without listing any particular car model.
Why was the post with 104 votes and 1.2k views - a post that clearly resonated and did not infringe anyone - deleted without notifying the author/poster? I’m at a loss for words.
sometimes threads get merged, or car/game/track issues which gets acknowledged by devs, the threads get moved to ‘known issues’ category
Thank you for replying… The amount of hours I put into explaining it and I cannot find it under known category. The link says the post does not exist! It really is a critically necessary post.
Maybe it can be found by searching for a specific part of the description? Or looking back through your activity (found in your profile)?
I see every post I’ve created and interacted with except for the missing one. There was a lot of information in it. Screenshots, videos, replies, issues and more. No flagging, no notification or no notice?
That’s really annoying, they could’ve atleast moved it to FM Closed Issues to keep it visible.
@T10ManteoMax is it possible the above mentioned post/topic was archived and can be moved back to save the data?
I’ve moved the topic to Closed Issues. We’re not ignoring or dismissing the feedback, we just need to process it in terms of individual threads by car model in the FM Car Issues section:
“We”
What about if members just want to discuss stuff on the forum?
That thread was so much more than one issue, it was a Discussion and now it’s closed it’s dead and buried 
Yes I also noticed that this got closed - however at the time it disappeared over the weekend I was still serving out a ban and couldn’t bring it to anybody’s attention.
I wanted to ask the following at the time but was only able to post privately in a group chat:
“I presume the next patch is going to magically address all of these issues? If not - would somebody kindly copy the content of that thread into a brand new open one for people to see? I would but I’m still banned.”
@T10ManteoMax - While I understand prioritizing and other game-breaking fixes like car progression, livery and AI - this forum exists for a reason.
I strongly believe that the post had no reason to be closed. Frankly, it is unrealistic for FORZA fans like us to list, test and report every single car in a separate post.
My extreme disappointment with FM’s negligence in cars’ visuals (from paint, reflections, cars’ exterior lighting & luminance, wheels, materials, shaders, sharpness etc) & their fidelity led me to create it.
Take a look at how many cars are being listed in FM Car issues and more being added everyday. I really believe the developers need to be responsible as that thread seriously outlined the issues generally with all vehicles in FM 2023.
I went into extreme depth in that post, listing multiple sources and allowed for the post to resonate with others and open discussion to how the game needs to be improved.
Lots of constructive criticism from many people and if read closely, anyone can comprehend some of the infamous car models that have have been listed.
It is unreasonable to simply close the post given that it really served as the template for all the visual, modeling and audio quality issues with every single car.
The stats do not lie and this game biggest problem is its broken promise of unparalleled visual quality and photorealism. What good is game if its main characters are lifelessly represented - the cars that make your game.
The reason that the post got closed was because it’s better for them to have individual topics for each car instead of one massive list.
The same thing happened for the lists that focused on car audio, inaccurate car models and others.
You can use your information in a Forza Motorsport (2023) Discussion and continue the talk there while you make topics for every car and have a link to every topic in the main discussion.
See this topic as an example:
The stats do not lie and this game biggest problem is its broken promise of unparalleled visual quality and photorealism. What good is game if the its main characters are terribly represented - the cars that make your game.
Agree 99%.
I personally feel the biggest problem this game had at launch, and continues to have until this day is one of Leadership at the studio.
I can’t Believe they Did This moderator abusing there power? As long as we follow the Community Guidelines & Respect Each others opinions views critique & expression. it falls under freedom of expression & free speech if that’s how they are going to treat us they are going to loose more Fans than they already have if someone is Upset or wanted the post to be Removed they could Atleast asked you before Doing so
I think the moderator is well within their rights to do this.
It’s also their forum provided to us with whatever rules they wish to attach at cost to them.
The real shame is that it’s a reflection of the studios attitude to receiving feedback and criticism as well as indicative of their concerted effort to shape the narrative available within the public domain (or at least, easily available on the surface).
They behave more like a P.R. firm working for a tawdry celebrity and less like a video games developer with a passion for their work.
I feel the same way about the people in charge of this game it doesn’t even feel like the same Studio Anymore
Not the first time they swept posts under the rug, won’t be the last.
What else did you expect from Turn 10 at this point?
So If I want my issue to get addressed I have to find the issue in the game, post it in the exact correct place hoping the post doesn’t get moved or closed, and hope to get enough votes for it to be addressed and still hope that it doesn’t get moved or closed. That surely sounds like an easy way to avoid listening to important feedback and address them. I’m pretty sure that thread by @DayKnightV8 was also the highest voted thread that addresses the most important issues in depth. I thought it was very important for the sake of salvaging whatever life this game has left because as Forza vets, and fans…we want this franchise to be back to its glory days like in FM4 and instead all we get is a spit in the face and get treated not like customers but more like unpaid beta testers.
It makes me more frustrated that the sounds haven’t been ever good since FM6!!! Like what happened to the passion for cars? What the hell is going on behind the curtain?! Why lie to our faces “This is the best sounding Forza Motorsport ever!” and all you do is copy paste an Aventador soundfile into a Murcielago SV, for crying out loud we were screaming for car remodels since old gen and still 6-10 years later things just keep getting worse…unbelievable
Well said & i Feel the Same way. broken Games Isn’t anything New. I think its very Disrespectful to the forza motorsport franchise I also Feel like Xbox in General keeps Releasing Broken Games no one is calling Xbox out for this I’m so tired of Xbox releasing Broken Games Xbox needs a New leadership of releasing more polished Games. PlayStation releases more polished games on PlayStation I’m not a Fan boy or defends a piece of plastic I like Xbox & PlayStation for those who read this
