I have 4 millions waiting as rewards and Im going to lose them because MS didnt release Xbox One in Chile, so unfair 
The Elite
BOSS
I had to replace my Xbox One and Forza is being a little screwy with the new one. Took a little while to get everything up and running. It's finally showing my rivals but not all of the same drivatar racers are showing up in my races. Disappointing.
Also, I almost don't want to play right now until the new patch kicks in.

"Another big criticism is the track list - obviously it's more difficult to get the tracks up to the standard that you have them in Forza 5, but what are the plans for the lifespan of the game for expanding that track list?
Dan Greenawalt: So I'm not in a position to announce a lot of that - I'd like to be able to tell you that, so there'd be nothing more exciting to talk about that. What I can say is that we have plans to update this game and make changes that are going to delight our fans"

can't you redeem them? Pretty sure they will just be on your xbox when you get one, if you can.
So is anyone else having issues logging into the Forza site? It keeps telling my buddies that they need an Xbox Live account, but they already do, and they're logging in with the email that their Live account is registered with. Even I can only log in maybe 40% of the time, although I am able to cash out rewards.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same issue and would also appreciate any suggestions.

Glad to see those half-off prices on cars made permanent, and the increase in credit payouts is welcome, too.
Even though I haven't had any particular issues with earning money, (running longer races in Free Play or Rivals is key, especially once a given manufacturer affinity has been sufficiently leveled), and already got most of the cars I wanted during the half-off sale a while back, but the economy updates will make my remaining few purchases, and any impulse buys, a bit easier to justify.
I'm assuming the return of drag racing means they'll unlock more Test Track layouts. Hope we can access those without having to set up a MP lobby.

It is really encouraging to see this path taken by Turn 10. It's obvious these guys love what they do and love their fans too.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of changes actually take place throughout Forza 5's life..

I really think they just should have let you have access to any car in free play, but if you aren't using your car you don't earn credits. Because the people who refer to the driving in career mode as a "grind" most likely aren't interested in finishing said career. Also the ability to sell your bought cars.
nice. dan said the right words in my opinion.
their announced commitment to continue support of forza5 is the best news for me.
I am 100% sure that after microsoft rolls their first big system update, t10 can also roll a fantastic forza update 8)
DO IT DAN

Another one of those GAF threads about Forza by people who want to rag on the franchise, have never played it, don't want to ever play it, don't even understand it and aren't likely to ever play the genre anyway.

Yeah, I said to some the guys in that thread to come over here and ask players if they've hit a wall in progression. If forcing players to pay was always the plan then there would certainly be a few cases yet nobody took up the offer.
New rim for the TX just turned up, gonna give it a whirl later.
Edit: wasn't that thread, my mistake.
Ok had 5 minutes with the new rim and it feels so much better, far more in line with what I'm used to.

Fuck me, just bought the '77 Transam and the fucking shaker is....shaking!
At idle it jitters and when a nice rev is applied it goes nuts.
Nice touch there Turn 10. Next step, a fucking 671 Blower out the hood OK?
Man, the mid 70's to early 80's 'muscle' cars sure were fucking pathetic in power outputs weren't they?
6.6 litres and all that they managed was fucking 150kw!
Fucking government meddling and their pollution gear crap.

i am again annoyed by those economy whiners. they cried so hard that t10s primary focus is on fixing it.
they should fix the multiplayer and not that unimportant shit.
now we get more hoppers instead of custom lobbies. fun play hoppers!
Which rim did you get? The Ferrari GTE or F1?

GTE. Amazon had them for around £60 when I bought it, jumped back up to £80 today.
Rim is small for my liking (same 11" diameter at the 458) but feels fuller and the rubber finish is nicer. Buttons are cheapo again but not as bad as the stock rim.
It's a lot heavier but the TX base copes fine, ffb response doesn't feel any slower in my hands.

well, yeah... you know what they say...
Yeah but it says a lot that this comment went without any repercussions.
Not sure what car I will select with the LE redemption page when it goes live. Already got two of the cars I really wanted the Lotus F! and the classic Ferrari F1 car.
I must say Turn 10 reacted pretty quick. There shouldn't be any bitching now about the economy, :lol
edit: woah at the comment above

Cool. I'm still debating whether I should get the TX or not. I've got a setup with Fanatec CSR, CSR shifter and CSR Elite pedals (with inversion kit) but I haven't got as much use out of it as I was hoping to... kids and family stuff seem to get it the way.
If I could find a local seller for the Fanatec gear then I might consider moving over to the Thrustmaster, but finding a buyer is the troublesome part... that and I really like the Fanatec.
I had this issue. It looks like a bug in their website. From the screen where you get the message, click on the Forza logo, which takes you to the Forza main page. If it shows you signed in, then sign out and back in. Then click Rewards>Overview.
This works for me.

I just have to laugh at this now. There is a certain demographic here that will never be satisfied. They are somehow interpreting the developer responding to criticism and making improvements as a bad thing. The very criticism some of these individuals were voicing! So do they want it fixed or not? I concur with others the most ardent and vocal are most likely individuals that don't own or play forza 5 and never planned on doing so in the first place.
The fact remains that the features and content Forza 5 present as a launch game is unprecedented. No other game has come close. I recall launch games such as the original ridge racer, PGR3, and other "near" launch racing games having nowhere near the quality or quantity of the content in Forza 5. I still bought and enjoyed them at full price. I'm not sure why the standards have moved so much...

If the third party adapter allowed CSR Elite pedal to connect to the TX then it's worth trading a Fanatec for imo, well if it's gonna get used that is.
Sold my wheel on ISR, went pretty quickly too.

Yeah, the pitch forks are out in force in that thread. I can understand some of the feelings, but damn some of the comments about Dan are making him out like you said, the devil incarnate.
Holding off on buying new cars until this update comes out. Really hoping they start talking about specific track DLC.
Hopefully it's soon. Going through the career I really wish they had a random starting grid. I'm starting to get tired of starting a 2 lap race at the very back of the pack.

I am hoping they put a Jeep Wrangler in the game... so I can customize my car to get ideas... lol

Wait, does that mean track DLC or not? Why the subterfuge? Can we get a simple yes or no?
Rather reminds of Wendl's "we aren't talking about night and weather just yet *wink wink*" in the run-up to FM3...
i took it to mean "its coming but we arent ready to make an official announcement" sort of thing. they're probably waiting for the content to be in a state that a reveal can be made with it.
I'm really liking a lot of things about this game. The handling, visuals and sound is fantastic but I'm really not liking the whole drivatar system. It seems that all the drivatars equals is everyone ramming into me, ramming into each other as they take corners and/or pushing me off the track. I really wish there was an option to go back to normal A.I. I also wish that there was more content in the game. It is getting kinda old racing the same tracks over and over. I also picked up GT6 and I have been going back and forth between the two and while I really enjoy both Im liking the variety of GT6 a bit more.

So they can say "we have monza" yet still not reveal a single picture of it?
On another note, T10 need to completely change their approach to fantasy tracks.
Bernese Alps, Prague, they're terrible. Just mindless sweepers. They can't seem to make a track that has both fast stretches and tight technical areas anymore. I want my alpine ring back :|
Their surprise is that they've brought in Hermann Tilke to design some fantasy tracks, just for you. I hope you're happy.
lol, true.
also, strongly disagree about the alps and prague. very fun tracks IMO, even if they don't "feel" like a real race track. i love the variety they bring. wish forza 5 had more of them.

I don't think virtually every class being able to drive most of the tracks at WoT is variety.
Prague had hope being a street circuit but IMO is a failure. Little more than a showcase of their 8 year old graphics engine

They are fun and i had GREAT fun racing in D class vintage sport cars in Prague.
Both are very well designed, but they feel very similar.
Similar to each other, that is, but still different from every other track in the game, which is why they should stay.
At the same time, yeah, something more 'technical' wouldn't hurt, it looks like T10 is relying exclusively on real tracks for that though.
Dang, I didn't see that.

Isn't this an entirely new graphics engine?

No, they claim it every time yet every single game has most of the same graphical problems as the previous one.
