Update report: Time to review my thoughts on this game after a month.
Pros:
- Route Creator, I like that it does allow me to make tracks along any route in the game just as long as I pick an event to start from.
- Some of the updated sound samples don't sound half bad to me, though that isn't saying much as I'm not an audio expert.
- I like the return of more cars from FH1 & FM4 such as the Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A & Vauxhall VX220. I do enjoy the addition of a 1970s Ford F150, even if it's one modded by Hoonigan. The Ford Escort Cossie added at least has a different interior to the one already in the game.
- The live forzathon has been fun, I like how players have to make a team effort to get the tasks done.
- Heck, I thought I would dislike playing online with other players when the game came out. However, this game changed my mind a bit. Most players don't seem to bother me and just do their own thing. I think I only met one griefer when I left my car alone for a few minutes going to the bathroom. Aside from that, it's been okay.
- Blueprints still being here definitely helped with the longevity for this game.
- I don't remember saying this before, but I'll say it here. I'm glad I don't have to do championships on the same races again to complete the game, that was tedious in FH3.
Cons:
- While I said I'm glad I don't have to do solo championships to complete the game. I am annoyed that they weren't available as an option outside of seasonal events. I still like doing championship events from time to time, so it makes no sense to me that they're restricted to seasonal events.
- Speaking of seasonal events, they kinda annoy me. The races like in the main game are still way too short! I'm stuck at the moment on a cross country race because I'm racing the AI on a higher difficulty, but I do not have enough time to beat them all. Seriously? Only 3 laps? Is PG afraid of boring players if they have to do 5-7 laps. I'm not asking for a mini endurance, I just want my races to be a bit longer in order to have a chance. Especially in cross country events where I'm going to likely make more mistakes like hitting a tree (or a castle wall in my case).
- Before people ask why I didn't use rewind. Well that's simple, rewind wouldn't work. I tried pressing the rewind button several times (I checked the controls to make sure I didn't change anything) and it doesn't engage. I checked my controller to see if the button is broken by taking a quick screenshot and my Xbox took a screenshot as commanded. So, this tells me that it's broken.
- Aside from rewind, the sound still isn't working properly. I get lag with all sounds in the game and this is a major problem to me.
- The route creator is flawed and limited. The AI seem to not follow the line that I set always, there's one race I made where one car would skip the first checkpoint for instance. I see some cars go off the road on another route I made. In addition, it's kinda dissappointing that I can't do more than set checkpoints and a finish line. I was hoping that I could add barriers, fences, and archways. Similar to what GT6's track editor had.

Some tougher than others, although the last couple of upgrades weren't added until near the end. Moorland Way was hard work getting 95k out of just three corners, and Otleydale took a few tries to build >125k but when it came together it was a sweet run
