So the last forza game I played was Forza 3 or 4 and at that time you could build cars for a certain class and then search for lobbies with that class restriction. I got a PC and haven’t owned a console since so I was excited when this was coming out on PC.
When I go on multiplayer it looks like I can only select like 6 car divisions and cannot sort by car class. I love racing in the C and B class and now its like I either race a hot hatch or a muscle car pretty much… Am I missing something? Is the multiplayer really just join a random hopper lobby and play whatever class it picks for you ? Am I missing some filters somewhere??
My game is still downloading, but I’m not liking what I’m seeing in the multiplayer lobbies either. So far no S class multiplayer lobby…which is where I spend most of my time. I never really touched single player in FM6. All multiplayer…and that’s what I got this for. To see I spent $100 for early access to this is disappointing to say the least.
I’m also not pleased at how it seems I’m locked out of buying the cars I want until I progress up in the tiers(I assume via single player). I agree with ACG’s video review that the tier system is absolutely ridiculous given you could have loads of credits and can’t buy the car due to the tier level .
I’ll know more once the game fully downloads, but the direction of the game design is very concerning. I did see something along the lines of elite or super cars…maybe that is a form of S class.
On the bright side, it was awesome taking laps again on Suzuka and Mugello. I loved Maple Valley in FM4 as well. I think VIR is a regular track now…thank God. I’ll never buy another track behind a pay wall again. Never got to run them in S class multiplayer.
the tier stuff is not that bad, it takes like 5 to 8 cars to go to the next tier. if you buy crates you get cars as well.
but when you play multiplayer… at least the muscle car lobby, you only get around 6000-7000 credits or so per race, since… it doesnt matter if you have assists turned on or not, nor do you see the level of the player or anything really… in fm6 i used some curiosity to look at player levels and aim to beat the high ones in the race or something, or add them to my list… but now? hehe… everyone is anonymous.
I didn’t pay too much attention to it. Especially when I got to around 850, then the game locked up, corrupted my save, and I had to start all over again.
I really hope they fix this multiplayer issue. 700 cars in the game and in multiplayer you can use like 100 unless you create a private lobby. Oh, and you can’t drag race your friends, thats single player only…
Yeh but when, this is a big company and they don’t have everything out straight away at release, this is poor from turn 10, I would expect this from a game in closed beta, it’s now been released…
I played it for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon and was disgusted about what they have done and havnt touched it since.
No car class lobbies (not even in rivals), friction assist is permanently enabled online so ppl can drive off the track the same way on it and puddles have no effect, and the car selection system is a joke as I had 400,000 credits to buy the Lambo Super but couldn’t as it is locked under a higher tier.
I mean who came up with that genius idea?
That is like Fifa 18 locking all the top teams away and you have to play at the very bottom level and grind your way up.
This isn’t a shooter or RPG, this is a racing game and accessibility is EVERYTHING.
If none of the above is fixed and fixed soon I’m gonna dump the game and won’t pre order another Forza game and will wait until future games are in the bargain bin, as that is where Forza 7 should be with the state it is in at the moment.
Also loot crates in a racing game? A AAA racing game at that, is pathetic.
And the VIP is a scam.
Madness and extremely poor game design and T10 and Microsoft are destroying a great franchise.
Forza has always been my favorite racing game and it was more than that. What made forza great was the customization of a car and being able to tune it however you want to race. I understand that now instead of looking at only the performance index number it takes in consideration tire width, horsepower, etc when racing a certain type of car. My complaints are the people that enjoyed buying class cars and upgrading them to race in higher classes, this is no longer really possible I’ve noticed. This bothers me, I would have liked to see some of these restrictions placed in multiplayer races but now everything is this way and homolgation is good but way too forced in my opinion. Campaign you should be able to build and race cars you like not be forced to build it a certain way, there seems to be no freedom in this game. It’s a beautiful game but very frustrating, I miss building cars and being able to use them…
I am going to be deleting the game shortly if more multiplayer options arent added. This is probably the biggest joke of a Forza game in forever. I am a you-tuber with around 26,000 subscribers and i am unable to make drifting lobby videos, drag racing builds to take online, class series race car builds, Etc… The lot…
Very very disappointed that these 6 pitiful racing series are the only options in a game like forza where mini games are one of the most popular trends right now.
It all is abit of ashame but i am glad im not the only one rather annoyed at this “forza 7”… i have followed this franchise from forza 1 and played them all, FM4 was my favourite one and then the horizon series came out and added alot of fun and a new look to this great franchise.
Fm5 i didnt think much of so didnt buy new console (xbox one) just for forza as i had done in past with the 360.
Fm6 i bought and the xbox one hoping it would be better which it was but i never really managed to get into like FM4
Which brings me to FM7… well the hype upto it was awesome 700+ cars, some favourite tracks making a return i really hoped it would get me back into racing again and yet it has done the complete opposite, after maybe 2 hours of playing i have put this game down and dont think i will be buying another forza motorsport again! This game could have been great but multiplayer being the biggest downer has ruined this once great franchise for me…
