Still having to max level 5 cars to get max manufacturer discount when they have less than 5 cars - Motorsport Troubleshooting / FM Closed Issues - Official Forza Community Forums
Since T10 closed the thread and ran away without resolving any of the issues, I’m bringing up the topic again.
There are many problems with the game design in FM that many users have pointed out, even without me pointing them out.
In FM, T10 wrote the rules.
“When a car reaches level 50, the sales price of the same manufacturer will be discounted by 5%. The discount amount will be a maximum of 25%.”
However, there are manufacturers that have fewer than five cars. T10’s game design response to this is as follows.
“Buy multiple cars of the same car.”
It’s an extremely ridiculous response.
I believe the car sales price discount rules established by T10 assume that every car manufacturer in the game has 5 or more cars.
However, it is true that some manufacturers actually produce less than five varieties. So here is my suggestion.
"Merge car manufacturers as much as possible. And include the old manufacturer in the car name.” For example, 1939 Auto Union Type D will be merged into Audi.
Originally, it was caused by T10’s ridiculous rules that lacked consideration, but this proposal is to avoid ridiculous situations where users are forced to buy multiple cars of the same car as much as possible while adhering to the current rules.
Yeah it’s ridiculous. They still didn’t change or fix it. This is an absolute terrible game design!
They closed my topic due to “low reports and reproductions”. Low reports I can understand, but low reproductions? Hello! You designed the game this way! Nothing to reproduce!
I still think FM4 handled this the best. Just let us collect/grind manufacture XP points until a certain level/amount with discount is reached. It was a perfect system. No need to buy 5 cars to grind individually. No, you can get to level 4 in FM4 with just 1 car and get the level 4 reward (which was 100% discount on upgrades for that manufacturer).
Please rethink the whole car level/discount thing for FM2023!

The rules for car discounts and the car upgrade system are exactly as T10 intended.
It’s not that the problem wasn’t reproduced, it’s that it was reproduced perfectly as T10 intended.
The problem is that the rules they created are just too ridiculous!
I was really disappointed with T10, who came up with a new idea that is no different from the “Love Power System” implemented in the racing game “Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero” in the PS2 era.
I agree with you.
The upgrade system in FM4 was great.
Just by raising the manufacturer effectiveness to level 4, all upgrades are 100% off and you can set up your car freely.
Users would have been happier if they had implemented this as it was.
