Forza Motorsport

singlehandedly the worst community in any game ever, everyone is unnecessarily mean and will ram you 100% of the time. it is a shame as i am dissabled and use sim racxing to help me recover but i end up feeling worse because i will be rammed by a amr pro while doing my own thing every lap.

No Linux compatibility at all even though there's no problem with Forza Horizon 5. Microsoft just love being jerks apparently.

Turn10 laying off 90% of the team to only focus on FH6 games functionally dead. No new content in the works,

It's the only circuit centric simcade on pc. It looks nice and it runs well. I wish more simcade games would come out.

Forza Motorsport positions itself as one of the few motorsports-focused racing titles with a career mode, but as someone deeply invested in simracing and real-world motorsport, I find it misses the mark in almost every area that matters. FM tries to sell itself as a simulator, but it simply isn’t. Even Gran Turismo edges closer to the spirit of motorsport, though still imperfect. Forza’s physics model feels caught between arcade and sim, leaving neither camp satisfied. Tire behavior, weight transfer, and braking dynamics lack the nuance you’d expect from a game that claims to represent motorsport seriously. The absence of basic motorsport etiquette is baffling. No blue flags, no proper multi-class race logic, no penalties for divebombs or reckless blocking. You’re thrown straight into a Le Mans Hypercar in a fictional endurance race when you first start the game. Sounds thrilling, until you realize slower classes actively fight you for position instead of respecting race order. It’s just chaos. Force feedback is only serviceable at best. With extensive tweaking, its usable, but it comes at the cost of fidelity and has plenty of noise. Compared to true sims like iRacing, rFactor 2, or even ACC, FM’s wheel feel is shallow and disconnected. This is unacceptable. The AI is a disaster. They plow through obstacles, fail to recover safely, and treat Bathurst’s walls like suggestions. It feels like a train simulator AI copy-pasted into a racing game. Worse, this poor AI teaches newcomers bad habits like ramming, blocking, and impatience. Behavior that has bled into the wider simracing community. Race design rewards aggression over skill. What I mean is that clean overtakes, patience, and strategy aren’t encouraged. Instead, the fastest way forward is ramming your way through the pack. Career progression is shallow, repetitive, and lacks the sense of climbing a motorsport ladder. It reminds me of the original Assetto Corsa "career mode", which really is just a bunch of races thrown together to seem like there's progression of some sort. I wanted to love this game. I’m a fan of Forza Horizon and the first four Forza Motorsports (Especially FM4), and I hoped FM (2023) would finally deliver a proper motorsport experience. Instead, it’s a confused product that disrespects the fundamentals of racing. Unless Turn 10 radically rethinks its approach to prioritize authentic racecraft, have a more robust AI, and meaningful progression, this franchise is over as it is. Forza Motorsport (2023) may well be its swan song, and perhaps that’s for the best.

Do not waste your money, go get an old Xbox 360 and buy Forza 3. What a shocking game!

This game is the prime example of Microsoft showing us the consumer never really mattered. Bugged, broken, and abandoned to never see a QoL update again. You know what's funny though? Microsoft burns this series to focus on Horizon, which wouldn't exist without Motorsport to begin with. BRING BACK MOTORSPORT. The series that started it all. Bring back your love for the hardcore racers that's been gone for a long while. I refuse to even touch Horizon anymore with the zero effort that's been put into the FFB. Absolutely unplayable on the wheel, sure if me as the end user spends an hour or three tweaking it, it feels great. But why do I need to do that? Out of the box the entire game feels like I'm driving on ice, out of the box on Motorsport feels solid. Don't leave your day one's to cater to a children's arcade racing game, I've been here since FM2 and I would choose Motorsport 7 over this if we still had the option to buy it, but unfortunately I will cope onto this last broken, bugged iteration of Motorsport that will ever see the light of day.

[h3]This game survived its disastrous launch. It survived the lack of single-player content and the repetitive structure caused by its live-service-style design. And yet, just when everything finally seemed to be moving in the right direction, it fell right before dawn.[/h3] Of course, this game has many problems. The AI is stupid and has almost no basic racing etiquette. It simply follows its preset racing line like a machine. The online racing environment is only average. The penalty system is also extremely inconsistent: sometimes it does not punish incidents that clearly deserve penalties, while other times it gives penalties for reasons that feel completely random, with penalty times that go up and down unpredictably. The number of tracks is also clearly too small. But even with all these issues, none of them can stop this game from being one of the best sim-oriented racing games on PC in recent years when it comes to physics and driving feel. [b]Its physics may not be the most realistic, but they are absolutely among the most enjoyable, satisfying, and playable.[/b] First of all, compared with more hardcore sim racing games such as Assetto Corsa and Automobilista, [b]this game is much easier to get into.[/b] As long as you have a basic understanding of racing lines, you can jump in and enjoy it even without deep knowledge of car setups, tire behavior, or racing engineering. [b]Secondly, the driving physics feel incredibly comfortable—as long as you do not go onto the grass or gravel.[/b] This becomes especially obvious after playing Forza Horizon 6. Unlike Horizon 6, this game does not make your car slide for no reason the moment you turn into a corner. If your corner entry angle is wrong, if you brake too late, or if you get on the throttle too early, the car will absolutely lose control. But that loss of control has logic behind it. You can feel it, understand it, and learn from it. It does not feel like the game is randomly throwing you off the track. Because of this, the physics leave plenty of room for close online battles and pushing at the absolute limit. If you enjoy track-day-style racing, chasing lap times, and slowly squeezing every last bit of performance out of a car through corners, I truly believe you will love the satisfaction brought by this physics model and the in-game reward system. [b]Thirdly, the car dynamics and feedback in this game are genuinely top-tier.[/b] The way curbs travel through the suspension and into the controller trigger vibration, the lateral G-force during cornering, the weight transfer of the car, the gradual loss of grip as the tires wear down, and the traction changes when controlling the throttle on corner exit—all of these details are clear, accurate, natural, and extremely satisfying. Every input gives you precise feedback. It does not feel like you are simply “controlling a car.” It feels like you are gradually becoming one with the car. The vehicle does not become unpredictable. Instead, as you understand it more and adapt to it, you only become faster and faster. That is why the sudden announcement that this game will no longer receive major updates is so heartbreaking. It had already survived its hardest period. It had finally started to find its own rhythm. It felt like it was so close to becoming something truly great, only for everything to stop right before that moment. For players who love sim-oriented racing, track driving, and great driving feel on PC, this is genuinely painful to see. [h3]This is not a perfect racing game. It is far from perfect. But it may very well be one of the most worthwhile sim-oriented racing games you can play on PC in recent years.[/h3]
