With the introduction of car points and car level unlocks this might be a good way in the initial weeks of playing the game but later down in the game’s lifespan it might become tedious to some players.
I would think a different structure might turn out better for some players. where its per car brand you unlock the upgrades for that manufacture, With potentially bigger discount of cars the more from that brand you have levelled up,
while the other aspect might be interesting for a car collection pov which goes along with unlocking cars where to get the La-Ferrari or Enzo you would need to have (X) amount of Ferraris with (Y) rank which makes rare cars feel special to unlock.
Forza 3 & 4 so?
3 had car levels
4 had affinity (manufacturer) levels

this is what I kinda had in mind so you can keep the folks who enjoy the “Car-RPG” aspect and those who enjoy the sandbox building elements.
Absolutely this.
There will end up being a thousand cars in this game, just like the previous games. And we’re obviously going to want to try out as many as possible.
I’m still in early days of the game, but it’s looking like I’ll have to do about 30 races to unlock a cars full range of parts. With practice laps, that’s about 200 laps. What a chore.
That’s just not going to happen for me. I usually get fed up with a car after 3 or 4 races and want to try something else. So I will only be unlocking about 10 parts before I move on to something else (or whatever - depends on the driving!).
So effectively, in this game I’m never going to drive a car I’ve fully modified and tuned myself. There might be the odd one or two, but to miss out on feeling the potential of so many different cars is a shame. I’ve done about 16 laps of my starter Subaru and unlocked some wheels and about 9 parts - got bored and moved on to one of the other 8 or so cars I now own.
I reckon I’ve properly raced and tuned 300+ cars in horizon. Every week I’m building up and tuning a new one.
I realise they want to instill longevity in the progression, but locking you out of cars this way is a poor solution. I would just ensure there is a continuous supply of race types, championships, challenges, or just new things to do or cars to feature - similar to the monthly events of Forza Horizon. Let up create our own championships or challenges? Have a 2nd type of career mode where the leveling unlocks cars instead, saving cash for parts.
Something to keep it fresh whilst not locking you out of cars or giving you all of them at once like Horizon did. Horizon 3 had that supply of cars right. So did FM 3 and 4. Horizon 4 and 5 had the supply of cars wrong but the constant supply of weekly content just right.
We also should tie CP to Manufacturers also since I think it could work better that way if they wanna keep CP
With upgrades unlocked as of Update 6 we’re closing this topic. This topic reached 23 votes.
