Poll: Do you like the new car XP/level progression upgrade system?

Nah mate. I left FB a long long time ago, and I suggest anyone else do the same. Ya’ll don’t have to settle for cess-pits. Things don’t have to be this way. It’s ok to express dissatisfaction, but 90% of the sentiment here is negative, and I’ve contributed to that in some ways.

Every game that I’ve ever gotten invested in the online community with has been this way, or worse. In turn, even if I wasn’t unhappy before, all of the negative rhetoric has an effect on the way you see things. I guess I’m just trying to be the naked guy in the street holding the sign that says “it’s not that bad…”.

But anyway, I’m done with this particular thread and I wish you all a wonderful rest of your day.

The whole point of this topic is, to show how the upgrade system ruins the game. No idea why it should be a “positive” thread in any way.

A measly thirty percent of votes cast like CarXP, so that’s a positive in my book. :rofl:

Yeah and it’s almost 1000 ppl already currently at 991.

Edit: I am currently doing the FH5 weeklies, that game is so much fun. No stuttering, no FPS drops it’s buttersmooth, the game looks great and there is no horrible upgrade system with a new currency. That is how games should be.

Yes, sure I know how it was in FM7 and it was way better.
I mean, I don’t mind to be asked to choose a car, because I might choose other car. It’s logical, since there is no permanent selection. But every time the game prompts to choose a car, AT LEAST the pointer could be already on the car I just drove, so I’d be quick to confirm and move on. But no - every single time game puts me at the bloody begining of the garage and I have to scroll to the end. This scrolling is really tiresome.

is it to late for T10 to just go back to the winning formula , no i dont think so .
they can just fix this whole mess by 10 folding the cxp output and points to spend on upgrades , add more carreer races ,increase credit payout for races , drop the forced car lock on championships and be done with it , i`ll bet even the game rating will go back up .

I do like it but it needs improving.

  • lower max car levels
  • better upgrades available earlier.
  • xp applies to same car
  • tyres need to be available from the get go
  • ai shouldnt start with a much upgraded car to you.

Just a few issues.

Putting better paint on something that is … doesn’t make it better.

It is what it is. It will most likely stay. Rather than just moan I rather find ways to improve it, and this system I don’t spunk money on upgrades and can on cars. I like the way it rewards you for good track driving, so good drivers get upgrades quicker.

Again not perfect but has potential.

It stops people just cashing out on all the upgrades straight off and having op cars from the start.

I like it and I get a lot of people don’t. But it is what it is.

I will never understand the ppl that like the new system. Ppl that don’t have enough time to play games are irrelevant to these ppl it seems. What about familiy fathers or mothers, business owners or whatever if they just wanna relax playing a game. Now they have to unlock crap driving in circles for 3 hours to be able to finally have fun with a car. That is how it should NOT be.

I mean NOBODY asked for this, even if that was the case it was just a small MINORITY!

Yes as I said it needs improving .

For example lowering the car xp cap maybe to 25. So 1 series could possibly max your car out, if your a good driver. 50 is far too high and time consuming. My highest car is 30 so I do agree with you there.

I didn’t say it’s a ideal system. But they could easily adjust it so it’s more fun and less Grindy. I don’t do 100s of hours on FM but I’m up to driver level 90 I think.

I do get what your saying but I also think this could be made to be a much better system.

I just want them to try to improve it before totally scrapping it. If they do scrap it and I’ll be happy both ways :+1:

It’s a typical MMO car game system, not a system for singleplayer games. That is why most ppl hate it.

This isn’t “The Crew” or any other MMO racing game. But it seems that Turn10 tries to turn it into something like this. And that is the problem. Ppl that wanted to play games like these could already play “The Crew”. But now Forza Motorsport is screwed because some of the higher ups thought they had to push out something new.

That is the problem.

Edit: We paid full price to NOT have to do things like in a Free2Play Game. But FM2023 feels very much like a F2P Game. With this horrible game mechanic, simple as that.

Time will tell if it’s a waste of my money… I bought the premium.

If the game hasn’t changed in 6 months then yes. If it’s going to be continuously updated and improved then I’m ok with that.

I have more issues with ai than the xp system at the moment so a lot has to be done to call me a satisfied customer. But I’ll give them a chance. Modern gaming seems to be us being paid beta testers anyway so this isn’t new really.

Driving well or not makes very little difference (although the way it’s presented makes it appear as though it does). Most of the bar progression is just based on distance travelled.

It’s a system designed purely to waste players time, whilst giving a false pretence of progression. We can all come up with ways it could be improved (it would be hard not to - it’s basically been implemented in as bad a way as I can think of) but really this is an issue on which T10 really should just acknowledge their mistake and return back to the usual credit based system (or at least have that as an alternative).

I added another poll in the top. Ppl can choose what version they play it on.

We also reached 1000 voters.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL OF YOU!

A 1000 votes, man. :clap: The numbers speak volumes for how the community feels about CarXP.

@ManteoMax, as Community Manager, could you forward this info on to your overlords for their consideration? It would be great to get some dialogue flowing about this topic.

Yeah the majoritity doesn’t seem to like it. I am one of them obviously.

The minority comes to forums. The majority just play and get on with it. So these numbers mean diddly squat to be frank.

Counterpoint: just because the majority may not come here doesn’t mean they are playing.

Two days ago, Motorsport 2023 was 48th on the list.

Now it’s not even on the list at all.
