Nearly completed Volume 1 in career. Got a few more series to complete in the street class then. I have tried different cars for each series. There have been some street cars I like and others which I dont.
 
Formual E Races are flipping weird when you watch the replays , even weirder when the cut scene at the start of the races shows you entering the pits silentley .

Oh yeah hit level 200 today , thankfully the prize spin was a decent one .
 
I'm not even 40% through in career mode. Aa'been mostly buying off cars, upgrading/tuning and testing them out...hotlapping etc. In no hurry to get to the end in career. Ima take mah time cos' Horizon 3 is a good 10 months out.

Yeah, my mind set towards Forza and racing games in general is to enjoy the cars first, finish the career second.

I haven't been playing Forza 6 much since I got it though. I really want a wheel before I go deep in the game. Hopefully, I can get a CSW V2 next month.
 
I rushed through the career in an effort to get my Rewards level to the highest one, but of course, all the other things I was doing in the game did that for me. Every once in a while though, I need a break from either my own personal hotlapping fun, or the general idiot populace that is online racing, so I've been slowly doing the career races. As it stands, I have one final series to do to wrap up the fifth volume. I've still got a ton of the showcase events too.

I'm really just enjoying how easy it is to make multiple different cars competitive in one single class. It's both one of my favourite and one of the most daunting aspects of Forza or GT: I want multiple versions of quite a lot of cars, since they can be made to do very different things. I think my garage is already pushing 300, though that's largely from insisting I buy every single car I've hotlapped at Lime Rock. :D
 
I've been re-running some the same career events more than trying to complete races I've yet to do. Either to try some of the new cars if they're eligible or to max out affinity with certain manufacturers. Still sucks that I can't use some of my favourite cars/tunes in any career event.

I haven't played much this past week either. Hovering somewhere around 55% in Stories of Motorsport and 60% for Showcase events, though I probably won't be touching the latter again until I've finished the last four volumes.
 
I haven't even thought about touching Career yet. I always just enjoy the cars, but I do wish Free Play offered more settings in the spirit of giving players room to create their own fun. Customizable grids, one-make races, regulations for upgrades, tires, etc.
 
I'm around 85% done with the main career and 51% done with the showcases. I'm saving Rivals for after I've beaten the career mode. I dabbled in it at first but I've turned my attention to the career mode.
 
Back to the FnF cars now, I got the ultimate edition so I got those cars, don't think I've used them....yet!...
 
Be nice if they also released the original F&F pack for FH2 for FM6 in return. The white Supra could be tuned to crazy horsepower.

I think T10 is missing an opportunity by not offering some sort of cross-play DLC plan for both games. I realize there'd be some hurdles - like the racing cars - but I imagine people would love to get things like the Torana or 123GT in FH2.

Anyone else having problems with getting disconnected after the host quits? Like immediately as the race starts?

Ah, I didn't make the connection that it was after the host quits, but yes, I had that happen 3 times the other night, despite never having any disconnects since release.

Honestly, I don't know if it's the host, but I notice a "[blank] has disconnected" appear in the top left before I'm disconnected.

3 in a row.
 

How bizarre! I saw a vid recently on X.Live and pretty sure FM4 was on the cover along with several other games.

Shame, I would like to see how FM4 plays on the Xbone.

It would play exactly how it did on the X360. Why would it be any different? It's not like it's programmed to take advantage of the extra hardware HP.
 
Software emulation is a curious beast. It could be that it's proving difficult to replicate on the One.
 
Its not a case of it being difficult, they could do it with every 360 iirc. Its a permission thing mostly. Obviously turn 10 being a Microsoft studio will make it easier. Just a matter of time before they are all playable. I'd be willing to bet the next wave will have them all in. My only interest will be to see how they handle the double disc Forza 4.

I figured it would have differences in things such as frame rate or quality. I mean, I played xbox games on the 360 and PS1 games on the PS3, I immediately noticed differences in those areas when playing them.

This, along with any licensing issues, is probably one of the more likely reasons FM4 isn't on the list.

Disappointing, but hopefully it shows up soon. Maybe in 2016, to coincide with Porsche returning to the series? One can hope.
 
Has anyone been having any issues with redeeming rewards on the Forza website?

I'm asking, because I'm having problems. The website hasn't let me redeem any of my rewards within the last 2 weeks, it just keeps giving me a loading animation on the top right. Before, that didn't occur and the page loaded up right away.
