I genuinely believe Forza Motorsport is sitting on massive potential for the sim-racing community, especially because of its progression system, tuning culture, huge car selection, and accessibility.

But the force feedback on sim-wheels is holding the game back HARD.

A lot of us who run actual sims (iRacing, AC, ACC, AMS2, RaceRoom, etc.) want to take Forza seriously, but the wheel communication just isn’t there yet. The cars don’t consistently communicate grip, tire loading, weight transfer, or loss of traction the way they should through the wheel.

This isn’t about making Forza “hardcore” for the sake of it. It’s about making the cars feel believable and connected for wheel users.

If Turn 10 gave sim-wheel FFB the same level of attention they’ve given graphics, cars, and customization, Forza Motorsport could become one of the biggest gateways into sim-racing period.

I made a suggestion outlining this in more detail. If you agree, I’d appreciate the support!

PS: I’ve been running a sim-racing organization for roughly 4 years now and we could not have been more disappointed with the launch and support for this title…we still talk about the untapped potential to this day.

the only game I’ve ever played about racing that’s the best I can get is Motorsport with all the settings set to the most realistic they can be, and it is fun when I race ai or go to meetups and chill there, but the second I go into an actual lobby with real players I get absolutely slammed by every player in the lobby, even the ones who are taking the turns as wide as they can. this with my competitive issues makes me want to explode everytime I try to race real players, and I do not get it at all. I’m able to play with the harder difficulty settings extremely well, and do just fine racing in ai games and meetups and even on touge races with one other person, but it feels like the second I want to play in GT series or anything in a higher ranking of car, I get slammed and get gapped and sometimes even lapped by others. i hate getting upset about something I love and I hate losing badly leading to anger, so is it honestly just a skill issue and I need to get better or am I just not doing it right at all.

> Forza Forums Closure - Farewell | June 2026
For the past two decades, the Forza Forums have provided a place for official game info, troubleshooting, shared tips between players, contests, and feedback from the Forza Community. The Forza Team has taken into consideration your feedback and comments. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and showing your passion for this franchise!
As our team shifts bug reporting and suggestions to the new Forza Feedback Portal we want to let you know of upcoming changes affecting Forza Forums users.
The Forums will continue to remain active through the launch of Forza Horizon 6 in May; on June 30, 2026, the Forums will be taken offline. We do not plan to archive or replace the Forums in their current form. However, we are committed to continue fostering community engagement by supporting and celebrating your passion for the game on other platforms.
The Forza Steam Forums and official Forza Discord channels will continue to be available for the Forza community members to chat, exchange gameplay tips and experiences, and share in-game content. The Forza Team will continue to add official game-related content on Forza.net and the Forza Support site as well as on our official social media channels listed below. We’ll be using the Forza Feedback Portal as our system to quantify suggestions and receive game bug reports. You can expect to see announcements, sweepstakes, fun community events, and more from Forza well beyond the launch of Forza Horizon 6.
For Forums users, this change means that all previous discussion posts and shared images of game Photos and Liveries posted on the Forums will no longer be accessible. We encourage you to begin archiving any posts that you’d like to preserve before the end of June cutoff.
Retiring the Forza Forums hasn’t been an easy decision for our team. With the continued growth of Forza games and our community participating on more platforms than ever before, the way we engage with our players has evolved in recent years. The Forza team watches your content and reads your comments across all of these places every day, from our official Forza channels listed below to the thriving Forza and Forza Horizon Reddit pages managed by the community. Two decades on, there have never been more opportunities to connect with our dev team and the Forza community.
Thank you to all those who have contributed to your shared passion over the years. We look forward to seeing you across our list of Forza channels in the years ahead.

Maybe you’ll disagree, but I feel like, of the sim/simcade racing games out there, Forza Motorsport might be the worst I’ve ever played in terms of pure driving etiquette.

May as well play GTA or NFS for that kind of racing. The game is great, I like it, but it is absolutely INSANE to me just how little anyone cares about ramming each other off the road. I know safety rating plays a big part, but I find it ridiculous that the best solution to that is to start from the back and basically never go for an overtake until you get out of low-rated lobbies.

So, essentially, if you want to be able to race people… don’t race people? This is a player base issue, not a Forza issue, but how tf do y’all manage that without uninstalling?

UPDATE: After spending most of the day just trying to fix my graphics (because, for a reason I’m yet to uncover, the brightness just skyrocketed making it impossible to see ANYTHING), then I finally got things to be *visible enough to drive* and spent two hours getting shafted despite my best attempts to avoid people altogether. Uninstalled. Not worth the effort, not worth any further complaints, not worth the space, not worth the money. And it’s shitty because it’s not even Turn 10’s fault. The worst issue I have with the game itself is this brightness issue that just popped up, idk wtf that is.

The overwhelming percentage of players are just the shittiest racers in the entire genre. Forza’s online demographic just ain’t for me apparently. Stick to private lobbies or expect the worst.

I was hyped beyond belief for Forza Motorsport. Like, embarrassingly hyped. I went all-in — built a full sim rig with a Logitech G Pro Wheel and a Playseat before the game even launched. This was going to be my GT7 on Xbox. I was ready.

Then the game came out.

The FFB was... something. Vague, artificial, and with this weird snap-back-to-center behavior that made it feel less like a racing sim and more like steering a shopping trolley on ice. I spent weeks trying every settings guide I could find, and while I got it to a "playable" state, it never felt right. Coming from GT7, it was night and day. The wheel basically lied to me about what the car was doing — especially in corners.

I eventually dropped FM entirely, and honestly tried not to think about it too much.

But lately I've been feeling nostalgic. Maple Valley. Sunset Peninsula. The actual car culture in FM. I miss it. And I've heard the game has had years of patches at this point — though I also get the impression support has quietly wound down?

So here's my question for anyone still in the trenches:

Is the wheel experience in FM actually better now? Like meaningfully better? Not like "playable with tweaking" better — I mean, is there a setup where it approaches the FFB precision of GT7 or Assetto Corsa? Where the wheel actually tells you what the tires are doing?

I have a Logitech G Pro Wheel on Xbox Series X. If anyone has a settings profile that genuinely works — in-game AND on the wheel itself — I'd really appreciate it. Tired of having my heart broken every time I load this game.

Missing Maple Valley more than I probably should 🏁

Thank you guys

Hi everyone just to let you know a new feedback portal for the Forza franchise has been launched today. Follow the link Here to find out more.

Forza Motorsport is featured there.

We need to set a petition and show Asha the importance of Forza for Xbox. She is the New CEO she is changing everything. The franchise needs to keep going. We need to show our support and ask her to return updates and give Forza another chance. It is now or never.
