Forza Motorsport General Discussion Thread

I understand. But two things. I don't want anything to get harder and I definitely don't want anything like GT7.
There isn't even statistics in the game. The races come and go. What I'm proposing isn't even somewhat feasible because the races come and go, outside of having a podium placement requirement. With all the settings it could be turned off I would suppose. You can't look back and see where you placed in a race like GT7 because that race doesn't exist anymore next month.
This got a little out of hand. My bad wording. My fault. Whatever it may be.
All I'm saying is that I wish it had more structure and more accountability. It's hurry up and get through these races so you can get to next months same thing.

I don't think the game needs to be more accountable. I think we might have to agree to differ on this score. I believe that ultimately, a player's accountability to progress how they want is up to themselves, at least as far as this game is concerned. People choosing to gain car points solely through driving will make money more efficiently as they end up paying out less.

Perhaps the Challenge Hub could be expanded so that people win cars, money or even upgrade points for completing certain tasks. That'd help players who wish they had a greater variety of things to do.

They introduced drift events outside of the main career which I have no interest. Perhaps in the future they'll do the same with drag events. I sometimes wish they removed the time limit and had a meatier career and a big spreadsheet to tick off. But right now if I run out of activities to complete in the game I'll boot up Horizon or EA Sports WRC instead. Nevertheless I still think I'll be playing this game longer than something like PCars 3 which reached a stage where the races became too difficult for me near the end of the career.

I'm not going to lie, seeing the newest 911 GT3 R in FH5 got me a little salty. There's probably dozens of race cars in this game that are not in FM and this is a big one. I just hope each one eventually makes it into FM. Side note, we get the 911 Dakar im FH5 but not a Huracan Sterrato all rhis time? Interesting

Same,i was salty yesterday
I do think Porsche did a paycheck for PGG to feature their cars in the update. Track day update ? More like porsche update.

On a positive note it mean the 911 GT3 R would come sooner or later in FM and im still waiting about the Elantra TCR.

Never once did I say that people with disabilities shouldn't be able to play. Not even close.

You did hwoever clearly state that you would prefer a title that could effectively gatekeep to a a degree that they will not play the title.

What I said was that in the whole game, you don't have to win a single race.

And as I said, it's perfectly possible to spend a lifetime racing in motorsport and not podium once, but I also notice you avoided addressing that.

My comment was asking the question, should the whole game be brought to a level in which there is no winning required whatsoever.

Why not? It's interesting to note that, on average, the more sim-like a title is, the less likely you will find 'you must podium/win to progress' mechanics.

It's hurry up and get through these races so you can get to next months same thing.

And this is closer to the root cause of the issue than any requirement to hit a certain place, the fleeting FOMO nature of the events themselves. FM could have a vast library of curated race events, one so vast that where you place in them becomes utterly irrelevant, instead we have events washed away by new ones.

Yes FH5 has an epic car list. I want so many of them in this game.

I still can't believe neither game has a MK7 Golf GTi though! Hang on a sec, neither games have any Golf GTIs after the MK3. Crazy!

Older Forza games had the MK5 and 6 GTIs. These are legendary cars so it's a big omission

Even not being much of a VW enthusiast, this annoys me too. It wouldn't be so bad if we could FWD swap the Golf Rs but that's still not an option sadly.

You can vote for the option here:

Add FWD swaps to AWD vehicles

Not having the ability to swap AWD to FWD limits car availability in custom league racing. This is particularly frustrating as the modification is fairly common in racing IRL.

Sadly it's not getting much momentum, probably because "fRoNt wHeEl dRiVe sUx tHeY DoNt tUrN" or something.

Yes, it is kind of frustrating that the GT3 R came to FH5 before FM '23, but I'd be very surprised if it wasn't added in an update very soon.

On another note, I finished up the Power Tour yesterday evening, to get the Dodge Challenger reward car.
The last race in the Corvette C8 series was at Le Mans during late evening, transitioning to night.
Has anyone else noticed that since the last update, which made the headlights glow stronger on pictures, it also seems like they illuminate the road better?
Before it was like having a lil' candle in a glass jar and it was very hard to see where you were going.
Now they seem to project a much greater amount of light onto the road, which makes driving during night much easier.
