I’ve played Forza since Forza Motorsport 3, and every single Forza game that came out after that (with exception of the mobile game). I enjoy the game, however, I prefer FH due to more having more “freedom”, motorsport gets a bit boring after a little while. I’ve been thinking about what I would change for me to play more Motorsport again. So here we go:
[Ranked and Casual] Right now, there isn’t a ranked system in Motorsport or even FH4. You get a so-called “rank\league”, however, you still meet people that just ram you for no reason in the high ranks, and have some horrible driving lines and clearly shouldn’t be in the rank that they are in. So, my idea is that we separate the two, and make “ranked” and “casual”. Casual will be what ranked is today, however, ranked will be something new. My idea for the new ranked is to make it more about your skill. So first start the race with qualifying that lasts 7 ish minutes. That way you will be able to run the circuit twice. The ramming is better then it was when it launched, however, it still happens. So if you hit someone off the circuit you get a 5 - 10-second penalty, and if you force someone off you get a 5-second penalty or something like that. So make a penalty system which forces you to slow down at some point (if you have a penalty). If you don’t slow down, the time will be added to your total time, and that 2nd place might go now to a 3rd or something. (just an example) Maybe even add tyre wear and make more laps to make the tyre wear a thing, and make the drafting better.
[More challenges]You can have daily races which are just for fun, so maybe increase the lobby count to 30(? ish) to make it more chaos(daily races are just for the fun/memes), but you can also add weekly races, where you can only enter it once or twice, but the person with the best time in that week get some credits, and maybe a special badge\suit?
[Season]Make the season more fun. Make players go for the top ranks, and maybe try new cars more often. So my thought here is to make each season last 1 month, and each season has different cars. So the players vote for 15 car makers, and then there are 5 wild cards, which are completely random. That way, it will force people to try new cars if their car make isn’t voted for. But maybe make it so a car make can’t be voted for more than 2 times in a row.
Let me know what you think.
