So there are many many inadequate things in this game. Many people have lost heart due to not being given the things we had in the past. There are things like drift, auction house, drag, better career, scoreboards etc etc.
Drift was a great sector of the player base.
Drag may have been a bit more niche, not sure how many players did strictly drag.
Auction house was awesome and really killed off the painter player base, due to not getting paid for their works. (I stopped painting because 10 000 credits for a 40 hour paint just isn’t worth it)
Some people love career and seriously this is nothing like the early Forza careers.
I am sure there are many other things.
What is the ONE thing to be added to the game that would bring players back?
For me it is overall leaderboards. Back in the day we had amazing talents that spawned real competitiveness for times through all the classes. I think it would also let people play the way they want. IE dominate one specific track, or a Class. I think this would alleviate boredom for single players.
I like the idea hehe. I would like them to bring a driving school where they help you improve your driving, special tests, licenses, routes, etc. and that it could be implemented in different terrains, like dirt for example. And that Turn 10 finally dares to use dirt in Forza Motorsport.
Dyno curves and power curves modeled to correspond to them.
Will never happen though, because none of these devs know how things like a cam or the various forms of forced induction affect power curves. Let alone anything else.
The ability to create custom championships, from multi-class to one make series, changing conditions for each individual race, different lengths for each race as we please. Solo or co-op with friends online. Also being able to share them online.
This could be huge if implemented correctly.
You said just ONE thing, but, a track creator? But that sounds impossible to develop, idk. I remember watching a videos about features remove from GT, they had it in one of their games, cool feature but so simple and limited. I had no knowledge if any other racing game had it (besides FH, they have their thing in their own category, and I’m talking about a proper close circuit creator).
There is no one thing that would bring players back in any significant numbers. There’s too much that’s either missing or poorly implemented…trying to fix this game is like using your fingers to plug the leaks in the Titanic. T10 had their shot to make a truly remarkable, if not revolutionary game, and they blew it. Between the shameful state in which the game launched and the underwhelming progress that’s been made in the year since, there’s just not enough here to hold most people’s attention. Sure there will be a few dedicated pockets of players who will continue to stick with the game for whatever reason, but I think most people have moved on and are unlikely to return. Like the saying goes, you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.
I was gonna say R,S,A,B,C,D,E hoppers back, all playable at the same time.
Then I realized there’s something more important to me: lobbies system like it used to be. Fast rotation of tracks without the awful 20 minutes wait or so.
I’m not saying T10 should remove what we have now, with practice and qualifying. People enjoy it.
I say give us the choice.
Gifting decals, paints and cars to friends directly instead of sharing to everyone. I do player specific liveries for friends in my league. And i want ONLY them to have it.
