Pure & Proper Offline Mode & Support

[FuzzyProton]

Please stop requiring online network connections for single-player.

Why?

Nothing in your Amazon marketing pitch says that the “single-player Builders Cup Career Mode” requires the internet. It actually says, in two places:

"* Out-build the competition using more than 800 performance upgrades in the all-new, fun, and rewarding single-player experience, the Builders Cup Career Mode.’

“Out-build the competition by earning over 800 performance upgrades and race our most advanced AI opponents yet in an all-new, fun, and rewarding single-player campaign, the Builders Cup Career Mode.”

Both say “single-player,” and the other includes “AI opponents.”

NEITHER SAYS “ONLINE” ANYTHING.

Whether you have ever fully understood this cannot be questioned: your marketing slurry fails for exactly one reason: “single-player” means no other players (online AI or online ghosts) are involved. That’s false advertising. You can (and really should) be sued for those false/misleading statements.

I’ve paid well over $100 for the Xbox x/s game and all of its content. And unlike every Forza game before this one–all of which I own–this is the only one that requires an internet connection to play any single-player modes that I’m aware of.

I live in a rural part of the U.S. with satellite internet. I often don’t have ANY internet at all due to weather events–including mundane rainstorms, or even just continuous cloud cover–both of which can happen for days on end.

I think everyone should be able to play a so-called “single-player” game or “mode” regardless of internet availability, unless they’re specifically and intentionally buying an always-online game, and are explicitly told that’s what they are buying.

I have not seen anything to this day on Amazon that says your game has “single-player” and “online-only” in even close proximity. I only found out that “single-player” was “online” (only) when I received the physical disc and read the back of the case, which says “Online Single Player” very clearly.

It’s a really good idea to include the “online-only” parts invall of your marketing materials so that you’re not lying to your prospective customers, and especially your franchise fans.

Yeah it’s a shame! Turned internet off that day and game looked like demo everything greyed out and no own cars or whatever.

While I’ve refused to play this game and no longer play it due to the dealbreakingly terrible visual, models, audio and quality control, my initial buggy gameplay experience during the launch week has left something that has been lingering in my mind ever since, especially when I lost my internet connection for a whole week at the time. I believe, if anything, this is a MUST-have feature/necessity in the new Motorsport or any FORZA title (it’s a staple feature)

Please allow everyone to play their new Motorsport game offline. All game modes except for Multiplayer should have been supported for offline mode. There is NO JUSTIFICATION for locking players into online only mode in this game. If anything, allow us to play the game, progress in our career and modify our cars offline, just like you can in FH5! Add back a proper fully supported offline mode exactly like the previous FORZA titles.

It is frankly atrocious to require an internet connection for single player gameplay and career. Allow full OFFLINE support aside from multiplayer for people who actually purchased this game at full price.

People like us who paid and own their copies! The game needs or be fully functional exactly like the previous titles.

Offline is a MUST for forza motorsport. At least for the xbox version.

[NiceKitten5646]

Agreed. Requiring and internet connection for a SINGLE PLAYER career mode is ridiculous. I have had the game pause mid corner because the internet connection dropped momentarily. By the time it resumes, I forge where I was on the track and went sliding off the track.

[SmUrF_3ZUP]

Offline i cannot play the game I purchased
I understand that there’s updates
But let me play what i have now without wifi

[Leafyblade]

No excuses not to have the ability to play single-player modes, access vehicle upgrading/tuning, access vehicle designs, and use cars in my garage while offline! Please make this happen devs!!!

[vlad_80112024]

Well, time flies by - does this game have career mode in offline mode now? I see -50% discount, but i dont buy games that locks anything behind “always online”. Yes, i refunded the title before.

[MJMoonwalker367]

I just dont want a repeat of the crew. If you pay for a game you should be able to use all features and gameplay when the servers eventually cut off. It should be illegal to make games online only

[TheMachineGamer]

I just want to say, i love the game, but i refunded it because i cannot play the career offline.

[Pooya995016]

@MJMoonwalker367

I just dont want a repeat of the crew.

Gran turismo sport got an offline functionality mode update.

[MJMoonwalker367]

I know. Theres no excuse. Companies can do but chose not too

[vlad_80112024]

Discount -50% again. Did anything changed for offline mode?

[Coola_Mix1096]

No and no offical reply😩

[Coola_Mix1096]

Hello @all pls give this post a like so we could safe the game!
We do not want to pay for a licence because we want a whole game!
#NotlikeTheCrew

Please implement an offline career mode like in the old forza motorsport games.
The whole online based thing in offline would be aweome.
The new events could be added via Update so the career is getting much bigger und better over the time.

Because uve donw thinking about these races so pla let us play them offline!
We dont want to race online all the time but we want an game we could enjoy in future too after closing the servers.

Im still playing all Forza games but its the first im not able to in future which would be sad at all.

If ur doing this i get myself 5 copies and 3 for my vest friends if this is a little push forward!

Because ur getting much money from it and im not the only one whos not buying always online titels!

Thanks a lot!
Please help us!

This is an absolute must! I am a freshly baked dad. My time window for playing video games is about 1h max per day. In Forza Motorsport many times about half of that time is wasted trying to get into the game & waiting for reconnection (then you get the disappearing track glitch and can start the whole charade anew). Sometimes by the time, I get the game to work, I’ve got only time left for one race. This is atrocious. What happened to the good old days, when you could just fire up your game and play it?

[DayKnightV8]

Repeated extensive discounts and a dead LFG section just show how this bland, always online game has fallen. Inexcusable as all other previous titles have been fully playable offline at the least. I

If you cannot fix the game visually, sonically and content wise - at least add back the proper OFFLINE MODE that it should have had for people who bought the game! If you bought this game, you deserve a fully functioning game that is not dependent on an always-online connection or servers to function basically.

This is not COD multiplayer, Halo Multiplayer or Fortnite! This is NOT a free-to-play first person multiplayer game!

[Leafyblade]

Stop ignoring us Turn 10 and make all single-player modes playable offline. Also, allow us to make game saves locally, use community-downloaded/created car paint jobs and tunes offline, and the ability to use personal cars in garage offline.

If you care about your customer base, please start listening to us because the more you give preferential treatment to online only the less of us will support you in the future due to you ignoring our customer FEED BACK!

[DayKnightV8]

You know it’s an absolute bastardization of a “AAA licensed” racing game that has always been a primarily single player game when you cannot fully start up and access the game offline and:

1. View, drive or modify your owned vehicles offline
2. View and play the career mode offline
3. View and display your own cars in your garage offline.
4. See and customize your driver.
5. Launch the game and its full single player content and player owned content without an internet connection!
