This is the 1st time I've tried leagues,i'm enjoying the ghost part,since no wreckers to mess with you but man oh man the corner cutters are unreal,some cut more than the corner,its crazy,over all,i have to say its been a real blast!!!

I believe X class leagues in Forza 6 caused the complaints since the F1 and Indy cars have no headlights. Instead of picking a P brought to X with headlights which was the idea they just moaned.

I remember several night races, on The Ring in FM6. You had to be real careful, or risk hitting another car, or the wall, and losing your lights. Nothing like trying to feel your way back from half way out. Good times. I enjoyed leagues in FM6. I’ve been having trouble connecting to leagues in FM7. I’ve managed a few., but that’s it. I’m hoping to see that improve.

I'm surprised that they have rain and night in Leagues, why would anyone want to race competitively in anything less than ideal conditions.

You’re joking, right?
Surely you have heard of endurance racing. The 24 hours of Le Mans, 12 hours of Sebring, etc. They race through night and rain all the time.

Can we now talk about the elephant in the room?

In a few minutes the new series of leagues will go up, with it comes a SIMULATION DAMAGE event.

Now i don't want to be rude but.
Who in their right mind who ISN'T satan would see this as a good idea, everybody in the forza community knows how many rammers are playing the game.

I believe that the rammer to decent racer ratio is around 20:1, this is a bad idea and especially since they haven't put in any penalties or rules or advanced behavior checking systems into leagues/ the game this is gonna be a cluster****

The races short races and no quickstop in simulation is pretty lame.

If you've completed a race in Series 1, the next time you enter Leagues you should receive the Gingerbread Man Driver Gear suit.

I noticed we can see the league events for January too with some spec races which is awesome to see.

Yup, just received mine. Definitely one of my favourite driver suits now, lol.

Thanks for the heads up Max!

Yah cant fix corner cutters and wreckers. But we will penalize people who drive properly and have gingerbread suits.

While this may be a problem in hoppers and the lower tiers in leagues, sim damage tends to encourage clean racing. Some of the best races I had in Forza 6 were is sim damage leagues.

I think a lot of the rammers should get stuck in grassroots too as ramming with similar damage is far from a good way to win so just use ghost lobbies until you get away from there and hopefully you should be okay. Never guaranteed though of course.

Can be frustrating for decent drivers who are just starting out. Best to get out of the grassroots division in the ghosted series to avoid the rammers, then play in the sim events.

Daily rewards not working

The way you earn your points in the leagues for the driver ranking is ridiculous. It is more beneficial to drive dirty with cutting the tracks, bumping out your opponents then to drive a clean race.

Like today I started at 2nd place, somebody bumped me out, i managed to get to the pits, drove my way up to 8 from the 16 players and I had a way more deduction the added point from a win in a previous race. And the guy who bumped me out got probably a bigger reward being third.

I really think this system has to change this system to keep it attractive to race clean!

The disconnections during league races are killing me. I join a lobby and then nervously race hoping not to get kicked. If I’m lucky enough to last the race, I’ll gain maybe 50-100pts but the next race... disconnected mid-race, which results in massive points deductions. Its becoming impossible to progress and feels like I’m relieving myself into the wind so to speak.
Anyone else having this issue? I’m using a wired connection on Xbox one x.

I noticed this problem in the ghost leagues. I made a point to have a clean lap every race, but many fast guys were intentionally doing dirty laps so they would start farther back and get more points. It was much harder for me to rank up starting near the front, especially when I'd get dropped from the race.

You can fix the dirty lap problem by basing starting order off of rank.

Clean racing only works with good players. There are going to be LOTS of bad players that are bad. Best thing is to keep on playing and not focus on 1 specific race. Even if it is 50% bad races, focus more on the good ones.

So very true focus on the good players as they will only try to get better, and ignore the bad as they will only bring you down to their level.

I thought when they said “simulation” they meant more than just the damage model.

No .... After roughly 20 Races im Pro and not a single disconect in this Time (wired 50Mbit connection on PC)
