A lot of people have strange expectations for a new FM title. Let's face it, FM won't have the refined physics and ffb from Assetto Corsa, neither will it have the structured online racing from Gran Turismo or iRacing. What they always offered, and what made me jump from GT to FM (GT4->FM2) back in the day, was the complete package you have got. An acceptable physic-simulation, a long car list, upgrades and online mp. GT7 is more fined, but to this day, it is a grind to get certain cars and upgrades. And while AC and other PC sims offer spectacular physics, you mostly can't just upgrade and customize the cars. Plus, the car lists offer way less and sometimes just racing cars.
As a long time Forza Motorsport fan, I am disapointed in some way with every release, but I also receive a time consuming package everytime too. Turn 10 always left a feature out for some strange reason, made strange decisions about the structure of mp or sometimes straight failed to cater to their most loyal fans. This is just the reality.
I am still looking forward to it. Let's see. The current reviews are a bit lackluster, to say the least.
