Any one else finding the higher they level up the worse there wheel spin prizes are getting?

And past level 10 all the racing discipline prizes are rubbish

Or maybe im just having bad luck.
I thought there were car prizes at lvl 16 of each discipline?
Also, I think they have said are looking at increasing the garage limits at some point in the future but they have to be careful as it affects the game save structure, so it has to be triple checked.

Am I silly or is there no way of choosing a type of race / vehicle class or basically choosing ANYTHING when playing online? And I’ve only ever seen S1/S2/A races?

Am I that thick or is this basic option not even there?!

Best way is to choose a blueprint (your own or shared ones) to play PvP, that way you can have exactly the race and class you want.
Only thing is with no friends in the same server you just have to hope the other people on the map want to play it when it becomes available.
Team Adventure is too random and locked into 5 events, which I hate.

If you are doing team adventure they seem to be random, you can't choose and only S1/S2/A as you say.

Staggering lack of options then.

Why don't you create a blueprint?

Using the lower class vehicles can be great fun in single player, but I think they took it out of the multiplayer as it was hopelessly unbalanced. People just put everything into power on stock running gear and wall-rode their way to victory

I really wish there was a stock only class so you dont have to be some mental tuning guy to figure out how to get a car that is competative. Its fairly basic surely.

Because I dont have any online friends. I just jump in and out for the odd half hour. Too much faff for a casual gamer.

Race the AI then, at least you would get to race exactly what you want.

Watching the Forza stream for update 4, there will be a fix to increase the garage size in the new year. They are working on it to get it right because it will affect save games.

Exactly a I said a few posts up. They said it in the last stream before this one but people keep asking.

Shame about the houses as they had potential to be a worthwhile addition. I've got a habit of buying a new car each time I play the game so can't see me affording the castle anytime soon!

Yeah. Just had a fiddle.

It's very Scottish island. Not massive, 63 roads to discover rather than 531 or whatever. I'd say more effort had gone in to offroad than tarmac. Dunno what the price is but if I'd paid more than a tenner I wouldn't be hugely impressed at present.

The new island looks pretty small but perhaps the worst thing about it is the way it's a separate island altogether. I doubt I could be bothered to sit through the loading screens to just transition from the main map to the DLC island.

The car list is pathetic too, apart from the Koenigsegg, is there anything a real petrolhead would care about driving? More SUVs and trucks to prop up the crap list of cars in this game. Surely Playground Games must have access to all of the assets for all of the LMP and Group C racers from the main Forza games, why can't we have those? There is so much chaff in the car list at present.

The transition is not much more of a grind than fast travelling on the main map. And it's how all of their other ones have worked in the past too.

Overall it's... alright. I'd wait for a deal myself.

Yeah I think I’ll wait a bit. Pretty sure it’s £15 st the moment.

i got it as part of the ultimate,

growing up in the highlands, it reminds me very much of 'home'.

the treasure chests releasing 1Million credits a time are a welcome addition trather than grinding for the castle.

more roads, more boards and more cars cant be a bad thing,

theres a massive drift zone on one of the mountains, it's a hoot.

It's reminding me of Storm Island from FH2, but better.

i hope the next one features a race circuit / stadium like in FM3, this would cheer up some of those wanting more racing cars.
