Patches for FM5, suggestions by drifters

Drifters are a big part of FM5 regardless of what T10 thinks. Casuals will stop playing this game in a few months, and only the hardcore drifters and racers. In my opinion, there are a lot of patches that could help FM5 be a better experience for drifters.

NOTE. THESE ARE NOT SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW FEATURES, CARS, OR TRACKS. ONLY PATCHES AND FIXES THAT’D HELP THE GAME.

Stuff I’d like to see.

Road Atlanta Formula Drift section fixed (unstickied)

Spectating from lobby brought back (VFD/battle judging purposes)

Shorter public drift lobbies. (Some of these races go on forever. 10 laps on Top Gear East or 4 laps on Bernese Alps Reverse are hell.)

the drifting aspect of the game really hasn’t been done very well at all. it was all i did on forza 4 and absolutely loved it, extremely disappointed with #5. where are the mountain runs? not all race tracks are fun to drift, too many straights.

The Road Atlanta FD section being stickied was a HUGE let down for me. That’s #1 on my list

I agree Road Atlanta sticky is one of the biggest issues and maybe some faster steering for the controller.

I’m pretty sure you can fiddle with your deadzones.

  • Fix for the sticky Road Atlanta section
  • User-created lobbies
  • Spectate mode
  • Be able to paint the bottom part of the Sprinter Trueno.

I would especially like to see spectate mode coming back, so that we are actually be able to host some competitions on Forza 5. User-created lobbies are also very important to me…

Seems awfully like a features wish list to me ?

I mean, wishlist threads are usually asking for cars, tracks, or things that realistically will not be pushed in patches. We’re not going to get new wheels in a patch most likely. Though adding a feature (as we’ve seen with online replays) isn’t that unrealistic, and fixing ‘broken’ things such as the FD ATL section ruined by das sticky can probably (I’d assume) easily be patched.

An option for a bash bar insted of a front bumper would be cool especially on missile type cars.

To bring spectate mode back and fix the drift section on Road Atlanta.

This is a wishlist thread plain and simple. Calling it a patch wishlist doesn’t get you special treatment, you can post your requests in the stickied wishlists like the rest of us are told to do.

WSD, do your stuff my good sir…
