I agree, what I hated was that they would give you free cars after a level up. As a more hardcore gamer, I kinda lost value in those cars. I can understand that they wanted to make it more "friendly" for more casual racers. I would have rather that they give money from the start instead of driver level 50 or whatever it was.

Their gamertags show up for me. I was racing against Gary Whitta and Jeff Gerstmann yesterday.

Here's another odd omission that can probably be fixed very easily in the next patch - (Turn10 are you listening?)
In Freeplay at the end of a race, the option bar at the top features "event results" which lists as you might have guessed the event results.
This is nowhere to be found post-race in the career. So while pausing you can see the current state of play - but at the end of the race - THERE ARE NO RACE RESULTS.
Silly sods.

What's the point of having a career mode then?
Drag and drift would be half-assed and a waste of resources. Come on, Sal - Dan doesn't even think something as fundamental as pit strategy is important in a flippin' racing game.
Do you not think drag and drift fit the festival atmosphere of Horizon better than FM?
For FM6 I'm hoping for night (probable), wet tracks (unlikely) and a shit-load of new/old locations. Forzavista will probably be expanded again because Dan seems to want to give us an interactive car brochure with some racing functions.
you are very correct on the atmosphere part, but I am not sure about the precision required part. on horizon, that is.
and fuck forza 6!! I just got forza 5 and i'm having a blast!! the leap from 4 IS great
And they have announced via evo magazine that nurburgring is coming with santa clauss, and we know there is more than that.
I want T10 to have at least 6 moths to work on title updates on forza 5. and they would be stupid not to do so.

Is there a way to buy a car without it being auto upgraded?

Thanks. The list of WTF were they thinking continues to grow.
They should definitely have a free play mode for just about every car in the game. If there are a few locked away that is fine. The same way Arcade Mode worked in Gran Turismo.
Fun. The point of the entire game is fun. It's fun to earn cars in a career and be able to customize them as you wish. Or at least it should be. Forcing people to do that by removing the free play options while at the same time oh so conveniently dropping microtransactions everywhere changes everything.
This whole era of earning and unlocking and leveling up and bragging about your "accomplishments" is ridiculous. It gets in the way of what is supposed to be a fun activity. It made sense when introduced in a competitive shooter like Call of Duty multiplayer but now it is being introduced to limit single player so you can "show off" to your friends and gain "exclusivity" oh yeah unless you just want to shell out some extra cash. It's fucking insanity.
This isn't a career or a job. It's playtime. It's fun. And your $60 should give you the right to enjoy it. Unless you happily piss it all away and prove you are willing to pay more.
If Turn 10 brought back the free play option I really don't think people would be all over them about this issue. Many would rightfully be wary of the balance being altered in Career mode, but it wouldn't be nearly the slap in the face it is now. Good luck trying to drive the car on the cover of the damn game you just bought otherwise.

Play the game, enjoy it, have lots of fun, one day you'll have enough credits for the E21.

100% agreed. In previous Forza games Free Play was always the game mode I played the most. I don't care about customizing cars, earning credits, and all that stuff. I just want to drive all cars. And now, instead of adding some much requested features to Free Play (such as customizable AI difficulty) they are removing features. Not happy...
Me too. Disappointed that it isn't fixed yet. Really hope it is sorted ASAP!
So you can buy, tune, upgrade and paint your cars. Then sell and trade. You cant do that in freeplay.

You can't do that in FM5 either.
Best thing about F1 being given to all VIPs is that it will most likely speed up replicas appearance in the game :
Aaaand this is why all racing games should have livery editors...
Not when it has to look so wrong with that nasty nose
You can get more precise steering by holding it forward, but it takes a bit of getting used to.Takes a damn joypad surgeon to take the atom around Bathurst or even the alps.
Man do I suck at this game..and I thought I was semi almost half decent at fm4...
Yeah, I just noticed that. I guess it's starting early! Hooray
Is that permanent?

Awesome! Give me my damn VIP Turn 10. Man I feel like a stuck record.
Until Sunday midnight or something.

Damn. I should have preordered Xbox One. :/
Because of a 50℅ fire sale on cars?
Once you get to play the game they will most likely have fixed a lot of things. They will further increase credit payouts for races etc.
Things will most likely go back to how there were in Forza 4. No worries.
As glorious as that is, it irritates me greatly from a Ferrari F1 fan view.Best thing about F1 being given to all VIPs is that it will most likely speed up replicas appearance in the game :
But yea, still glorious.

Definitive racing game. I'm driving it now and I'm laughing my ass off.

You select the event, go to buy a car and all the cars eligible for the event will be shown. Then back out, go to buy car and buy the one you want. Then upgrade it.
Kinda complicated right now but there is now other way to get around that bad auto upgrade.
Thanks. And thanks Turn10 for making it so simple and easy to figure that out.

How is the driving/physics model compared to Forza4?
Much better. I would even say it is the best in the series. A lot of other guys I've talked to (most of them are in the top 50) seem to think the same. It is the first game in the series to have proper grip levels.
This makes this whole microtransaction fiasco even more depressing because the core gameplay has never been better.

Ha, nice!
C'mon Turn 10, The Mountain is begging for some classic Aussie V8's.
how much grip is proper grip? more or less than the prior game?
The suspension and tyre simulation is simply astonishing in FM5.
Every car is unique and his it's own handling characteristics whereas in FM4, that distinction wasn't as obvious.
I just feel that there was quite a missed opportunity to ride on that sentiment by not finding a way for people to use existing wheels...

I caved.
The E21 is absolutely fucking glorious. The last street section of Prague full throttle was making me grin like a big kid last night.

That and it made me yearn for some PGR.
Just seen a video on youtube that uses an easy menu glitch to allow you to rent any car in free play mode.

Talking about grip levels the forza series has been through a lot.
Forza 2 had less grip then forza 1, forza 3 gave us a ton of grip but then 4 went mid ground.
Weird thing about forza 4 grip IMO is that lower stock cars slide like fuck but b class and up suddenly get superglue grip, race tires > everything else when it comes to tuning.
