The game got so much right, but how did they mess up online this badly?

Seriously, who’s idea was it to take everyone’s least favourite type of race from FH3, and make it the only type of race you can do?

No only are team races terrible, the don’t even show times in the leaderboard at the end. Finished a 3 lap circuit race and want to know who got the best lap time? Too bad, have a look at these meaningless team points instead.

Also, why on Earth can’t we vote for adventure class? I guess it was meant to increase variety and to stop people picking S2 over and over, but it’s done literally the opposite. The algorithm seems so weighted towards S2… the class where you get the worst racing as 10 year olds use their gold-wrapped Lambos as personal battering rams.

————-

Finally, what’s the point in freeroam rush? Diving to events in FH3 was a bit iffy and tended to drag on, but this new variant is so silly. It just makes half the cars obsolete because you’re never going to get anywhere in a RWD handling car while AWD cars cut straight across the terrain

——————-

The game got so much right, and the new course creator looks amazing (pleeeeease let some of the high-rate community courses be used in online adventure), but man, it feels like 2 steps forwards and 2 steps back.

Hopefully they’ll patch all of this because of the backlash.

I’m just going to put it down and pray. Your right , this game was the best racing I ever played in my life. Just take what’ in the single player and put it in the options for online and let us choose what we want to play. Add a few extra modes. Most perfect racing game ever.

Instead two choices. Team Race. Or Team Game. Basically one choice Team adventure. And it chooses everything for you.
Not sure what 3 was like. I might go try that.
Lobbies are not a bad thing. I’m not sure who said they didn’t want them. THey allowed each their own. I was expecting so many options.
S1 S2 Team adventure.
I"m in shock. Literally in shock. THis is not okay. It feels like They spent two days on multiplayer. Put everything together into one. Done.

I am seriously angry and disappointed at the wasted potential in multiplayer. I regret my pre-order and pray to high heavens they patch a decent damn online experience into the game, with lobbies and a truckload of player choice.
