I think I'm done with this game. The only thing that kept me coming back was the multiplayer, but since Christmas it's descended into a cluster**** of morons intent on ruining any good racing. Also the fact that the track cutting has been relaxed to the point where Eau Rouge isn't a corner any more, and you can cut 5 seconds off your lap time in Abu Dhabi by cutting corners WITHOUT the dirty lap indicator appearing... it's a joke.
Then the single player which is crap due to the same tracks being used for every championship but in a different order. And the AI is downright retarded.
There was a big fuss about the fact that it 'learnt how you drive and used that in other people's games'. This is complete balls. It's a set of values which are applied to the same basic AI model following the exact same path. They are impossible to race against because they're so goddamn stupid - braking at the apex or in acceleration zones so you can't stay close. Completely ignoring the fact you're alongside so they push you on to the grass. Also, quite often throwing it off the road especially in the R class races.
I think it's time I upgraded the PC so I can play iRacing.
This turned more in to a rant than I intended

I've selected the bit that applies to me more than anything else you said. Initially I wasn't happy that Forza 5 came with so few tracks. Now I'm mad with Turn 10; I think it is unbelievably stupid to have so few tracks and to try to get away with different versions of tracks. I really hope there are tracks to be added, yes we'll have to pay, but there better be more tracks.
tbh i'll quote yours too
your both spot on, every series/championship I've done so far (about 150 career races) has had the same tracks over and over.
If they release tracks and more cars it wont entice me to purchase them as the game will be complete by then...
they need to alter the career mode in a big way (ie not 100's of races) and make sure there is a decent supply of tracks and cars for the next Forza if they go ahead with it. Also get bloody weather effects in there. it would be great if they did that.

Go for it!
I really, really hate the Abu Dhabi track. Why couldn't we have had Suzuka or have Monza in there? Heck even put the Turkey GP track in, that's better than Abu Dhabi.
Would have thought weather effects is a must in Forza 6 or perhaps even Horizon 2, if there is one. What's the point of the next gen consoles if we can't finally get decent weather effects?
Getting bored of this game, just trying to finish off the career mode then ill just go and get some credit for it.
Really disappointed at how much they left out ie crappy tracks other than Spa which i love and Prague. Also no marketplace either so cant sell the cars you no longer need or want. GFX wise its ok but really they should be ashamed at how crap they made the crowd look ie all static images..geezus bloody mary.
A polished game imho but badly let down by the half finished article, lets hope the devs do a better job with the next Forza...would love to see another Forza horizon though.

I hardly think you slow down in the game just to see the crowds guys... I think Forza has bigger issues than static crowds. ie no weather effects, lack of tracks, lack of cars and the fact career mode has remained the same for 3 sequels, they really need to freshen the career mode up instead of having race after race with really no difference.
I think if they haven't changed career mode and added weather effects for the sequel then I wont be buying into the next sequel.

So to get the update, you simply have to sign into Forza 5 and wait for the game to pick up the update?
Cool, I've always liked Road America and free is my favourite price.
