So what the fuck is the deal with the online play?!? I am playing a career mode and my best car is a Ferrari Modena with every mod you can have. That still just makes it an S2. But when you go to race online EVERYONE has an S1 so I have no chance to begin with! What really pisses me off is most of the time it wont even let me finish the race! I'm just a few seconds behind but it ends and I get a DNF!!?! That is so lame!! Why even bother racing if you don’t have a X1 in what ever category?!? It really pisses me off, I here playing and they don’t even let me finish! I have actually gotten to finish just 2 races so far out of about 10!!

Plus it seems pretty gay that my best car is always up against almost only Enzos modded as far as they will go. Fucking stupid bullshit!! So far I find the online play to TOTALLY SUCK!! I guess I have to get an Enzo if I want to race online in the S category with any hope of success!! And if that is the case why would anyone ever race any car in any category that is not a 1? Nice design, 75% of the cars in this game have no chance in online play!!

So I sold a bunch of cars and bought a koenigsegg and now I'm kicking some ass. And yes you win a shit load of credits for any online race. But the fact that you can not set sub-categories in car classes just ruins the online. You should be able to have a race where only S2 cars etc. are allowed. Like I said, the fact that you can’t makes the vast majority of cars in this game unusable in online.

Also the Nurburgring in online is a joke!! Yes the Nurburgring in the real world has traffic and that is a major factor. But they NEVER start an 8 car race on it!! It is so ridicules. When you race in Forza on the Nring with collision turned on it becomes a game that has nothing to do with driving skill. It’s just a matter of surviving the first few miles which amounts to basically a mosh pit of cars crashing into each other over and over.

The Nurburgring is way, way to narrow for that type of racing in real life and makes the online version just a complete joke!!

They should have put some traffic on the ring including motorcycles and have it only be a time trial. Not a race of 8 cars all starting at the same point!! :roll:

I'm still hooked on Forza but its online leaves a lot to be desired..

I had searched and didnt see any mention of it here. But for those looking for a new lease on Forza, try the "cheat" profiles.

Creat a new profile named nOsLiW (old PGR folks will recognise this one ) which gives you level 50 everything unlocked.

Create a profile named tEAM4za and start with standard unlocks but have 900,000,000 credits.

Just figured this would help re-ignite this old and dying title...

as far as i know you cant go online with those profiles right ?

[RC45]

I don't know - never tried, but heard you can't.

I am now having a decent time with my Drivatar.

Great fun improving and racing against them.

I just got Forza so no doubt there will be some noob questions from me in the near future. I started in Europe with the TT and spent a bit upgrading it to about 350hp. I put a paintjob on in which I'll post a piccy of later, although it was my first effort

Here's the first question, I have 77000cr. Do I buy the (not-significantly quicker than the TT) Ferrari (430 or 355) or save the cash for now, bearing in mind I have won an ok MR car (NSX)? and if I save the cash, what is the best thing to save up for?

Alternatively I can create a new profile called tEAM4za...

General Q: Now what about this XBox live. What do I need to buy so I can come online and whip ur asses (may not be the case at first. Or ever)?

I have a DSL modem but its not wireless and the PC is 70-80ft from the Xbox Do I need to buy a wireless modem, and if so, does anyone know much about these cos if I buy one I want one that will work in the US and the UK, all I know is that there is 802.11a and b, and 802.11g. One std is US and one UK. Is there a modem that does both? Maybe google is my friend here, but if anyone knows off the top of their heads thatd be helpful.

to connect the xbox wireless... you need the wireless adapter... about 100$... personally... 7c /ft. of CAT5 cable, 2$ in connectors, and a 30$ crimpor is all i need... if you arent up to crimping... then wireless is the way to go, or your xbox closer to your router/modem.

hope that helps

[TransAm]

I'll go with cable then I think

thanks

[RC45]

Note!!!!!!

If you want to exploit the "buy an engine for your Jetta (or Z06) and sell it for a profit" bug to make extra money... (which you will need to really enjoy the game )

DO THIS BEFORE GOING ON XBOX LIVE!!!!

It looks like there is an auto-download to patch this bug.

^ I didnt know about that but I shall look into it. Thanks for the tip!
