Forza Edition car change with today’s content update:

@Mechberg

We’ve addressed a game exploit whereby players could use Forza Edition cars to gain unrealistic leveling and rewards. In the interest of maintaining game balance, we have instituted rewards changes for all Forza Edition cars, replacing flat XP secondary rewards with a percentage-based credit (CR) reward. With this update, all Forza Edition cars will offer a primary percentage CR reward and a secondary conditional percentage CR reward. All VIP Forza Edition cars will now offer a primary +50% CR reward and a secondary conditional +50% CR reward. For example, the 2000 Nissan Silvia Spec-R Forza Edition previously offered a primary CR reward of +25% and a secondary flat +5,000 XP award after 3 good drifts in a race. With this update, the Silvia now offers a primary reward of +25% CR and a secondary reward of +25% CR after 3 good drifts in a race. As a further example, the 2014 BMW M4 Coupe Forza Edition (a VIP FE car) previously offered a primary +40% CR reward and a secondary flat +10,000 XP reward at the Nürburgring. With the update, the BMW now offers a primary +50% CR reward and a secondary +50% CR reward at the Nürburgring.

Thank you. There are updates today for both FM7 and FH3 and I thought I’d check out the forum first before starting either of the games. Obviously FM7 is a flagship product for the new XBox One X and I can’t help thinking that either FM7 hasn’t been properly beta tested or it has been rushed out to coincide with the release of the new console. Turn 10 have obviously been under pressure to correct things and after the letter to the Forza community from Alan Hartman, Head of Turn 10 Studios, I thought they were going in the right direction. Looks like I was wrong and they’ve gone in the opposite direction and will alienate even more fans of the series and possibly dent the sales of the new console. I’m glad that the wheelspins have gone but the miserly rewards will stop all but the most dedicated fans from progressing deep into the game in a reasonable time.
