Forza Motorsport 7

What is with peoples overtaking choices? They have a perfect opportunity to overtake but don't and then try to do it in the worst place possible:txbmad:

Not to mention the morons who think track cutting is a legit overtaking method:smash:

Or even worse, the idiots who try to dive bomb from 10 miles away even though you are defending that inside line:smash::txbmad::txbmad:

So I hear Leagues are active now. Are they really just ghost leagues, though?

I haven't looked at that. Once I finished the campaign, I have only been going in on Friday's to get my Forza Rewards. Been too busy playing other games.

I just looked and Ghost leagues only for another 5 days.

I also see they stuck with the annoying time blocks.

Also seems like Homolagation racing only too.

:sad::sad::txbmad:
 
So I've Been racing againest harder level Drivatars and I really don't see much of a problem with rubber banding. I also play with no race or brake line, rewind and other aids disabled and find the game challenging.
I think anyone who complains about the game being too easy has set it up that way so I don't lend weight to it.
 
Dabbled with the Forza 7 demo.

Best looking console game I've seen.

Loading the track takes forever though.

Maybe a new spin off, cause i feel like Horizon has done all it can

Id be all for a PGR revival, but generally speaking it would require Horizon and Motorsport to move to 3 year intervals which means a 50% increase in budget for a not necessarily 50% increase in revenue.

Horizon 3 and 4 are probably where it will peak in features ...but like Assassins Creed all they need is a new setting.

Announcing the Forza Racing Championship 2018



https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2018/02/14/announcing-forza-racing-championship-2018/

Drivers start your engines! Turn 10 Studios is taking racing esports to the next level with the Forza Racing Championship (ForzaRC) 2018. Taking the physicality of real-world motorsport and blending it with the approachability of racing esports, ForzaRC 2018 is built on the award-winning Forza Motorsport 7 – which features more than 700 cars, 60 frames per second, and native 4K resolution on Xbox One X. Drivers of all skill levels will compete for glory and more than $250,000 in prizes, our largest prize pool to date.

Starting today, drivers can register at the official site, ForzaRC.com, to compete in the first ranked season of global competition, which begins April 2.

ForzaRC 2018 – Pre-Season Invitational Presented by IMSA

In advance of the 2018 season start, we’re kicking things off with the ForzaRC 2018 Pre-Season Invitational on March 24 in Seattle, WA, home of Turn 10 Studios. We’ve invited some of the best drivers and teams in the world to compete and set the stage for a season of exhilarating races. We’ll have more details to share, including participating racers, cars, tracks, and more in March.

ForzaRC 2018 – Regular Season

Following the Pre-Season Invitational presented by IMSA, the regular season begins. The season is split into two series, each consisting of seven weeks of ranked events and culminating in a live playoff event with a prize pool of $75,000. At the end of the two series, the top 24 drivers will be invited to compete in the Forza Racing World Championship 2018 for their shot at a $100,000 prize pool and the title.

Here’s a look at the 2018 season calendar, which will be updated regularly at ForzaRC.com:

  • Series 1: April 2 – May 23
  • Series 1 Playoffs: June 16 – 17, live in Seattle
  • Series 2: July 9 – August 29
  • Series 2 Playoffs: September 29 – 30, live in Mexico City
  • World Championship: October 2018 (final date TBA), live in London
Ranking Up

When the competition begins on April 2, all registered drivers begin their race to the top of the leaderboard. As part of each seven-week series, drivers will compete in ranked events, earning points and climbing the leaderboard as they go. Look for a full breakdown of the tournament structure and scoring in March.

We’ve got a season full of racing excitement lined up this year. Want to watch it all go down live? Catch all the action live through our Mixer player on ForzaRC.com. Couldn’t catch the livestream but want to catch up on all the action? Check out the official ForzaRC YouTube for all the VODs, highlights, and more.

Esports Features

We’re always looking for new ways to deliver a phenomenal experience to both players and fans alike and we’ve got a number of new, esports-centric features lined up for Forza Motorsport 7. Today, we’re excited to share the first two features: Spectate and Seed the Grid. These exciting features are a cornerstone of the Forza Motorsport 7 esports experience and, since they last appeared in Forza Motorsport 6, have been rethought and redeveloped from the ground up for Forza Motorsport 7 to deliver a dramatically improved on-track experience for both drivers and viewers:

  • Spectate
    Watch live multiplayer races with our brand new Spectate feature. Improved camera transitions and performance means you’ll never miss the action. Positioning data for on-track cars is 100% precise as well, which means that what players see in Spectate is exactly what’s happening in the race.
  • Seed the Grid
    Players will be able to set up multiplayer races just as they like with the new Seed the Grid feature. Lobby hosts can now manually set the grid order during race setup, and a completely overhauled interface offers hosts and viewers alike new details, like real-time player grid position changes.
Both Spectate and Seed the Grid will be added as part of our February content update for Forza Motorsport 7 and represent just the start of our esports feature set.

Ready to Compete?

Whether you are new to esports racing or are among the fastest drivers in the world, register for ForzaRC 2018 today and we’ll see you on the track!

The patch for this is huge, and includes a substantially improved spectator mode. It also allows you, as a host, to change the grid.

The February Update for Forza Motorsport 7 has arrived. In addition to adding much anticipated features to the game like Spectate and Seed the Grid as well as the cars of the Dell Gaming Car Pack (for more on this, see our full story on FM.net), this update includes numerous fixes and improvements across many different aspects of the game.

  • Auction House players who attempt to buy a DLC car that does not have a corresponding marketplace offer will now see the message, “This is exclusive content and not available at this time.”

  • Driver’s hands no longer clip through the steering wheel in the 1992 Lancia Delta HF Integrale EVO.


CARS
  • Fixed Forzavista implode/explode animations for a number of cars including 1956 Ford F-100, 1975 Fiat X1/9, and others.
  • Fixed an issue with the Dodge Ram Forza Edition, where entering a Rivals event with vehicle in Homologated state then installing stock parts would cause the game to crash.

  • Added new manufacturer colors for the 2019 Hyundai Veloster Turbo.

  • Fixed an issue where player would receive dirty lap for driving on the rumble strip at Turn 18 of Yas Marina Full Circuit.

  • Fixed an issue where selected wheel color is sometimes lost when using the Livery Editor.
  • Fixed an issue where, if a player’s console is offline, the game does not use the user’s livery when entering pre-race, instead loading the default livery for the car instead.

  • Fixed an issue on PC where, if one player does not ready up for the race, they get left behind and lose lobby functionality.
  • Fixed an issue where, in large lobbies, some players wouldn’t be able to load into the next race and would get stuck in previous track.
  • Fixed an issue where players could encounter low frame rate performance in private multiplayer lobby pre-race screen.


SPLIT SCREEN
  • Fixed an issue where Player 2 was receiving milestone rewards meant for Player 1.
  • Fixed an issue where players could sometimes earn XP and credits for driving a rental car in split screen races.
  • Fixed an issue where, if an active guest signed out of the game using the Xbox Home button while in a split screen lobby, the game would restart.
  • Fixed an issue where only Player 1 could pause the game in split screen.
  • Saved rewards are now stored for Player 2.
  • Fixed an issue where, if Players 2 changed camera view when both players are in a tunnel, the lighting inside the tunnel would change permanently for both players.

LOL at trying to esports this s***.
 
That was pretty amazing. It is neat to see that the lap times are pretty similar between the game and real world.
