For the Featured career tour, I didn’t play it as 32 races was just ridiculous. 16 is already enough to do, doubling it is nowhere near worth it. The Open career tour felt good to get through.
For the Forza GT balancing, I think the GT4 series should be balanced around the two actual GT4 cars. The Ginetta at S723 and the KTM at S750, not for the Audi (that is not a GT4 car) at R802.
Also a missed opportunity to introduce more GT4 cars into the game, there’s multiple of them that have a road going version already available.
There’s a bit of a catch here because GT4 is included. Right now it’s a series that is not really liked because there are only three cars, personally I think that until more cars are added, it’s a series that shouldn’t be included in the multiplayer.
Also say that the update 11 is the one with which the game has been the best for me, stable and almost without problems in the races, until the update 12…
You are forcing the few remaining players in this game to abandon it. stop experimenting, people on the forums are not the majority to have an idea of what most players want
First of all, 32 races to get one reward car is way too many, especially when choice is limited to single model for each event, and it’s an expensive model. I can’t imagine how grindy would completing that tour be if I didn’t purchase the VIP with credits boost and/or missed discounts for Spotlight cars.
Second complaint: Open Class Tour is becoming too repetitive. With Update 12 it’s the third month in a row with the same set of six classes and no specific theme. How about at least adding E class instead of R class next time?
Third complaint: Ferrari F458 GTC feels like a car that nobody asked for. I think there were better candidates to bring back that would fit the theme of the update, especially the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport.
Other than that, the update was fine. I like the idea of comparing road cars with their race variants (especially with so interesting introductions), also two new cars are very cool (especially the Nissan Skyline GT-R, I hope it’s not the last GT500 car we’re getting). And Road Atlanta was the second best remaining track from FM7 to return, next to Bathurst (excluding Rio and other fictional tracks), so I’m happy with that choice
You can now do multiplayer races if you’re into that. By competing in the featured series that you need to do for the Artura, you also progress for the Huracan (7th version of the same car in the game btw).
The way of playing has changed and now there are fewer people in the lobbies. There is no variable climate either, and the rubber wear went from 6x to 4x. In terms of strategy depth, the gameplay is being limited.
If they had listened to feedback from forum members from the start the game would not look like it currently does and it might actually still have some people playing. The leadership at T10 are confident that they know better than the consumer.
Perhaps they wil listen to “InSidErS”, let’s hope so.
Actually x4 tyre wear made more cars and tunes available in open multiclass, with X6 your only strategy were street tyres, now u can easly use sport, or race tyres (no pit will always be faster on medium length races)
In featured MR race, that is practically open b class, there’s x6 tyre wear, and the most optimal strategy is to use street tyres, becouse with sport tyres u will hit red tyre wear at the end of race (on maple I was driving 2 last laps with red front tyres, that’s 10s time lost trough race, still faster than pitting with race tyres tho)
As always, new tracks are a blessing. Road Atlanta is hands down one of the best tracks. So thanks for that.
I Initially came here to talk about the current state of racing against the AI, specifically in free play. It stinks. They still brake in odd places. Lap one is a crash fest and you can easily get to P1 with little effort on level 8 difficulty. After lap 1 when the cars settle into a rhythm it gets better but only until you make a pass. After passing they straight up disappear even at level 8 difficulty.
There are situations where they remain with you after a pass like sector 1 at Silverstone, I noticed multiple times that if you make a pass on the main straight or after T1 they will sometimes stay on you but if you intentionally slow early they will too. You have to pretty much stop for them to re-pass.
Furthermore, doing longer races against the AI is basically impossible. I find that at about lap 17 the AI starts behaving erratically and will crash for seemingly no reason. I have noticed that they will start crashing after using the rewind function a few times and more and more frequently as the race goes on, so I’m unsure if that has anything to do with it.
Anyway, thanks for the hard work. I know this stuff isn’t as straight forward as just making a couple changes here and there. Im looking forward to further updates, especially the next track! Cheers
We just need a better IA, better penalties (more fair) in solo but especially in multi.
Some new tracks (and please stop with American tracks = no interest)
PLEASE FORZA READ THIS - If you guys really trying to make this game better why do we have 2 weeks already with these horrible penalties while racing that punish either the wrong person or the actual penalty make no sense they need to be adjusted.
FIX THE NEW/OLD SPECTATOR MODE why in the world would you just let there be spectators ONLY when you start the race, we should be able to join a lobby half way into a race and be able to join them and watch them race!! That’s the whole point of spectator mode!!
FIX THE STANCE of the car, Google clips of GT 7 years ago and the cars have WAY better stance than this “new from the ground up game” they look like monster trucks or a children made this not a car enthusiast.
I play Forza daily and one of the few left that host private lobbies, these are topics always brought up. This game could be so much better!
If only some of the updates could be to improve the terrible, TERRIBLE AI in single player. LOTS of players only use single player but there is so much frustration over the way the AI behaves (Braking for no reason causing a collision, braking exiting corners, taking the racing line regardless of whether the player is already established in that position, driving at full speed into the wall on ovals, crashing several times per lap). The list goes on
Having to do 32 races to unlock just a single car in the Career was outrageous, regardless of if it’s a new car or not. It was also a missed opportunity to introduce a second new car, preferably a road going version of that Aston Martin. Never repeat this mistake.
Because these are the people who dictate what to do for the individuals working on the game, not letting them influence the game in any way. It’s a miracle that such thing as Insiders was even concieved, and it shows the power of mass ““complaining””. If the higher-ups actually cared about the game, it would’ve been in a much better state at launch, and would’ve included more of the community requested features and content.
Did they? This is the section from the August update:
“Later this year, we will add select series and rewards from previous updates as permanent additions to the Builders Cup. Next year we’ll be introducing a number of permanent race car-focused Tours to the Career. These changes will give you the chance to check out series you might not have played before, while providing new players with an expanded selection of Career themes and events.”
It doesn’t say all of the prior series will be added, just a selection, and it isn’t clear whether the race car focussed one’s will be direct copies with the same prizes. That may be the intention but I think it would have been made clearer if it was the case.
Hopefully though, with the above and the challenge events (which could also be used to add previous prize cars) we will see all the old prize cars returning.
