The view you get over the Danube at the top of the hill is very nice.
Some of their behavior feels more human-like, for eg I have had a few of them let me pass or evade when I braked early but on tight tracks in the first few corners they are still overly aggressive.
Maybe the aggression should be a slider instead of just a toggle, I'd want the AI to act as though it gives half a shit about its $500k supercar.
Also I'm not ever expecting them to go into details to how the drivatar system actually works but my guess is that it follows a players line until some event in the world where it goes into a pre-defined routine. I think in the first few turns they should be slower and try to spread out the grid and avoid collisions but given that races are still mainly 3/4 laps I can see how they tune them to be more balls to the wall but it just becomes frustrating trying to ram past their bunch-ups.

whats the deal with leagues? I thought it was supposed to be a way to play with drivers closer to your skill level.
Went on during the ultimate edition period and there was an introductory league. exactly what im looking for.
now its gone?

It's basically just a set of multiplayer hoppers with a short opening window to give it an air of exclusivity.
I believe these will be "refreshed" at various intervals.

This was posted on the official forum by The Beard himself regarding the issues with AI being superhuman sometimes.

Something I don't get: If you look at a skin on a car from the recommended list, but then don't buy the car, and go look at other cars, the skin will disappear from the recommended list and you have to go searching for it. It's kind of annoying if you go window shopping before you can afford a car, or if you like multiple skins but can't buy multiple of the car. I don't know if they just assume you didn't like it or what, but if you don't actually load she skin to give the car a look-over with it, the game will keep it in the suggestions. Anyway, it would be really nice to have a "bookmark this skin" feature or something.
That particular league might be gone now, but the name just referred to the kind of car, not the opposition you were facing.
Each league is split up into multiple divisions, spanning from "grassroots" skill to "pinnacle"
So you should be able to find nice opposition in the other two leagues that are currently available.
If the particular vehicle is what you're complaining about, well that's another thing, they'll probably release more soon.

Started up the game and look what I got on my first roll
I think everyone is getting this.
I received it on my first roll and I have seen a lot of other people say they received it as well.
Did anyone miss the Bugatti?
On my second roll I won $1 million credits.
The divisions don't seem to work, in the intro league I was doing well, but my division never moved from grassroots.
Although I started the B class one in Elite, and stayed there dispute poor results
I did, and i'm pretty sure i missed the 1 million on the second roll.
I got the mustang on my first roll. I got the jackpot on the next 4 though.
I've actually missed the Veyron twice, but the second time I got a Huayara? Instead so I won.

I've never had the Bugatti and my biggest money reward was around 200,000.

Yeah I got 100k on first roll, a million on the second and I think a Lexus in the third.
Didn't do very well at all.
Didn't do very well at all.
I did as well. I think I only got the Brabham F1 since I started the game. Then again, having started with 25M Cr., I really didn't care to be honest...
I got the Bugatti in the demo, but I got the Mustang in my first spin in the final game.

Amazing pics man !
I also got the limited edition bundle, it looks way better in person. I love the blue color on it.
Controller is also amazing, which it already was but this time they added that rubber under it which feels amazing !! It's just the best controller for me right now, feels so good !
I didn't have enough time to play Forza 6 yesterday because i didn't finish downloading the game but man for what i played, it feels great. I love racing with super cars in the Rio track, feels like a SEGA arcade track.
Overall, happy with my purchase. I just need more time to play !!!

I missed the Bugatti as well. My level 2 reward was a Honda Civic R (97), my level 3 award was a Honda Civic R (97), but since I already had one, I got 20,000Cr instead.
Yesterday at driver level 43 or so, I had a 2003 BMW worth 43,000Cr as the top-prize in the middle of the spins. And my last 3 levels now were only cash prizes, zero cars in the spins.
Does it stay like that? Do you only win cars up to level 45??
There are 9 prizes, so the probability should be 1/9. If you won 3 times in 18 spins, that's above average.

They start to reappear after a point it seems. For level 55 there was a Bel Air in the spin.
yeah the mandatory hand holding in games these days is maddening.
Man the early GT cars are fucking great to drive, they sound great too. Le Mans at night is scary, even with headlights lol.
Also, here's Mr Noobcraft's reverse-drifting beetle...lol!

Every time she starts talking, I'm crushing my wheel more. Seriously, who the hell thought it was a good idea to have an unskippable tutorial voice talking non-stop?

No Bugatti here... Two BMW's and cash. And a Toyota.

I try to remember them simply for the cash and experience bonuses. I immediately sell off anything that affects gameplay.
I think the problem is you need to make, on average, the opponents drive less like the people who play the game.
On the higher difficulty settings I adore the drivatar system, but I totally get the gripes on the lower settings. My friends list is pretty centered around good/serious players, so my experience has continuously been rock solid, but I've definitely loaded up a friend's profile whose used my Xbox, and he has some real dummies on track if you set it to anything at-or-below "above average."
I'm the exact same way. I like the aspect of "rare" cards that just mean bonus exp or cash, but that's where it ends for me. The dare cards are great though, because so many of them are just how I drive anyway.
You absolutely WRECKED another drivatar in front of me that meant I got second when I should have been in like fifth in a race this morning. It looked amazing (from a safe distance).
Lol. Did you record it?

I've been really lucky with winning cars. I'm 43 now and have won at least a dozen cars, and most of them have been really pricey stuff like the Veyron and the Lotus E23.
The Drivatars are much improved this time around. It really feels like you can tell which of the people on your friend's list like to drive clean and those that are complete !@$%.

The Ring and (super/ultra?) Rare Mod "Spectre" is great, lol.
It turns on no collision for your car during a race.
I've been running a 60% more xp, 60% affinity bonus, 30% credit boost on the race. The AI pits every 2 laps even though 3 full laps can easily be completed before pitting. M. Rossi and his BMW are evil tho.
Also, if you quit a race you lose your one time use mods, but if you dashboard they stay forever.

Got my controller yesterday!
Hopefully my copy arrives in the post friday!
Yeah, I wonder if they'll sell branded Elite controller parts as the d-pad and analogue sticks are changeable.

Yeah, definitely, the deadzones are a bit big though.
Looks like there are forza branded elite controllers as well.

M. Rossi? I want to race him, too! Where can I disable those Drivatars?
Keep drivatars on, he shows up in the endurance events regardless.

I believe these were just special d-pads(swappable on the Elite controller)that were given out at E3/Gamescom.Yeah, definitely, the deadzones are a bit big though.

Thanks, haven't tried an endurance event yet.
The eight-year-olds and the eighty-year-olds probably really appreciate it.
I wish you guys with the luck would knock off the stories. I'm driver level 44 so I've had quite a few spins and I have not won a single gold prize. I'm super unlucky it seems.

Can't say I was very fond of the demo but I still bought the game.
Anyway I'm glad I did, the game is leagues above the crap that Forza Motorsport 5 was. While the game doesn't look anywhere as near as pretty as other racing games from my few hours with it I would have to say it's the best simulation racing experience I've ever had, especially in the wet which is insane.
