Are you on PC? Can't you just start spotify and it will play at the same time as the game?
Original Xbox 1. I currently play Spotify in the background. I thought I heard there’s going to be a update to allow Spotify to play in the game.

Far as I know, that's just speculation that occurred after it was revealed Groove support wasn't in due to Microsoft abandoning the service.
 
Hmm just did the Nascar event in Career mode, and realized im slow on the oval's. Tryed to tune my car for daytona but i just cant keep up. Did try one of the top guys tune out fast, and it got 2-3mph more then mine before hitting the bends.

Spent close to 2 hours now trying to get that dang thing to hit 215mph on the streights but im about to give up. I even tryed jacking up the front end, it gives it more topspeed on the benchmark stats but dont really fell it. If anyone knows something about these things please let me know :D
 
I'm still a bit surprised at how cheap some of the more expensive cars have become in FM7. I recall the Peugeot 205 T16 being close to 1/4 million cr in past games, but it's now 75k.
 
If there's that many complaints about it, they'll likely fix it. FM6 did go through a similar topic and there were cars that that had their sound updated. The Vulcan to me, sounds a bit Ferrari-ish.

You will not believe the amount of complaints they are getting at the official forum. Thread titled "car sound" has over 20k views by now I think. I am starting to see the issues one by one and from what I can tell, they are still being ignored. I do remember FM6 suffering from a volume issue but it was quickly fixed. Also, now that I think carefully for a minute, FM6's ratio of accurate car sounds heavily outweighs FM7.
 
There's a color bug I'm now noticing. Sometimes, red cars appear gray when racing them. I.E. The Porsche 935 I'm driving is gray, but still has its momo livery. The same case happened with the Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R and BMW 850CI when racing them. It's not consistent though as my 935 stayed red when racing it yesterday.

EDIT: Scratch what I said about it being red cars. I recall driving my Maserati Gran Turismo GT3 and it appearing gray when racing aswell. I'm not sure what causes the bug still, it seems random so far.

Oh man...what did they do to the A.I. on Daytona? Even on Unbeatable, the other racers randomly slam their brakes on the straightaways and turns. If it matters, I was racing a fully-built NASCAR against 23 Indycars on there.

The drivatars follow the racing line, so they tend to brake in strange places as the line indicates.

Also if they start to slip off the line from going too fast and understeering, they'll brake to pull back onto it instead of simply letting off the throttle a bit like an actual person would.

This is something that was also a problem in Forza 6, and Gran Turismo 5 and 6 as well, so it's not exactly new behavior.

It goes all the way back to Forza 1 on the original xbox as well, though there do seem to be getting worse. Cant even say its down to the drivatar system either, as it has always been the drivatar system in Forza.
 
I can definitely say, as someone who has done over 6 hours of oval racing on Daytona, they have DEFINITELY changed the A.I. behavior. They never braked before on Unbeatable.

I've had that happen with my 92 Escort FE as well. When I noticed it was gray, I clicked the R stick for Forza Vista and it eventually went back to its usual purple.

It's done that another time as well and I just ahead and drove it gray.
 
i also had colour issues as well. I chose the Alfa from Samsung pack and when I was choosing race etc it was grey lol I’m like umm that was a red colour before hahah.
 
A couple spare driver gear codes to give away:

Not sure exactly what Driver Gear 3 looks like since the file name is different from the in-game title.
 
For some reason, it is now possible to get the following multiplayer achievements in single player after the latest patch:

  • Gaining Experience (100 laps in multiplayer)
  • Devoted Racer (300 laps in multiplayer)
  • Nightvision (50 laps at night in multiplayer)
  • Rain Dancer (50 laps in the rain in multiplayer)

How do I get these suits? (Other than by going to PAX West, that is.)
