Giving Forza Motorsport Another Chance

Turn 10 still refuses to acknowledge there's anything wrong. So much of what the game was sold on is still nonfunctional or nonexistent, with no clear progress being made beyond fomo content and dripfed bug fixes.

I actually caught you online yesterday! We drove the pre-race practice and qualifier together on Laguna Seca in Forza GT class. You and I were 1 & 2 in qualifying. I was just excited to see you, so I stayed in the pre-race longer than I planned to (had to meet up with my family). I wanted to race you so badly, but I couldn’t be late to my outing. Hope to see you on more, man! - Adam IUI

i love the heck out of Forza 6, and I was so excited when I got my Xbox with the bundle. But they just haven't done anything to make me want to buy another Forza game.

This version of Forza was the very reason I bought a PS5 and Grand Turismo. So disappointing and now I’ve moved over I wouldn’t look back.

Gran Turismo 7, especially in its current state, is better than Forza by every metric.

If you wanna play this game in a good and fun einviroment, the right step to do is to join a league. Most leagues have their own homologations and that does solve the balancing problem for the most part. At least that's what we do! And we have even Multiclass, which is completely absent from the online MP hoppers!

This game doesn’t even have enough content for it to make any sense. There’s still 10 or so tracks from fm7 not here for no reason. Forza GT class was made by monkeys it’s poorly designed thought together, as well as having outdated cars everywhere with nothing current. No TA or V8 Supercar class for those few cars either. No sense of community and the career mode might as well not exist.

June 10 Update: Sebring added (it’s awesome), Nordschleife curbing updated to match 2024 spec.

The online racing has definitely improved. It's still not as rich as the other Forza games but T10 have improved alot. I don't think we will get a full single player mode on this game but I do enjoy playing it but I'm not a core player any more great for pickup and play.

The AI frustrates me at times but I have thoroughly enjoyed the game, it’s less pretty than horizon but it’s much more straight forward which I like.

It still has a bunch of problems, but it's also still quite fun to race with friends and I've had some of the most interesting and exciting races I've had in any Forza on this title. Also we are pretty critical of T10 but Grand Oak and Hakone are actually pretty good. The short Grand Oak kinda sucks, and the reverse version is only okay, but the regular full version is surprisingly good for racing with multiple lines through several corners. Hakone Full and Club Reverse aren't great, but regular Hakone Club is fantastic for racing stuff like touring cars, every corner has multiple lines and with the draft it's basically "ol' switcharoo" city. Would highly recommend getting some friends together and racing the Ginetta Junior, no upgrades and no tuning. Fantastic little car.

They just left this game for dead. Not adding any content. I mean horizon 5 car list is more interesting than this. Tracks are just not enough and all they added are old ones. If they start to put good and new content maybe people get back to fm and then by adding events and leagues this game can get in much better situation. But till now content wise this game was a disaster.

Bump drafting actually works now. They changed something with it on one of the updates. Lobbies are still pretty random, but last update basically took E/D drivers out of the equation, and supposedly tries to match better on safety. This seems to have the side effect of it being more common to find somewhat competitive drivers in your lobby, as it takes the matchmaking longer to build the lobby and gives it time to find similarly rated drivers. Still pairs fast guys with uber slow guys and everything in between, just more common now to find guys close to pace occasionally. Matchmaking will never truly work until it's done like IRacing or GT7 though. Doing it at the end of practice based on rating (not qual) would have it done against the whole vent instead of as people join.

In SP mode I hate this game. The pad settings are quite broken, even with all assists off. The gfx on Series X are just too processed and they aren't sharp to look at. Everything looks defused and false, there's little sharp track texture close to the car. It does my head in. I won't ever return back to Forza now sadly.

Still not worth even buying in my opinion i dont see much changing either witch is true shame for what the series once was.

I waited till May 2024 to buy the game, hoping the updates had helped a lot. I never dealt with that horrible car-grinding issue. Bottom line though, it’s just boring. Shortest (and most boring) career mode ever. So many cars sound like garbage. FM7 was/is so much better. I think the Horizon series is doing so well (despite plenty of negative feedback), they just have no priority for Motorsport.

Why the hate? I play FM and GT7. They're both fantastic games. I admit I prefer GT7 but I always have fun playing FM. I love the fact they've added qualifying for races. I wanted that since the first ever FM on the OG Xbox. At long last we have it.

IMO Forza is on the same trajectory as COD at this moment in time. They're using the name in hopes that people will buy it because it says "Forza" and don't care about what issues it actually has. I'm glad I didn't pre-order this one like I have for pretty much every motorsport game since FM4. Six years of waiting for a game that's just meh...

I love playing Forza but man I feel like in the GT hopper you play the same tracks over and over

did they at least fix the graphical issue if the entire track going black and driving on nothing but air?
