Forza Motorsport Adds 'Next-Gen NASCAR' In Latest Xbox Update

It still crashes and sends me back to the dashboard (or even switches the console off sometimes) but the game looks and plays great and with more cars and tracks is getting better and better.

Yep. Will check this out later.

Hopefully they can make this both feel as realistic as it is but way more interesting. I find I'm up for playing, play for an hour or so, get bored, put down for ages then 4 months later do the same. I'm not sure why by the originals had so much more fun with them. Maybe it's the amount of laps? The AI? I'm not sure but it just feels like an empty racetrack.

@Blofse I have the same problem, older Forza's I would play way more. I find that all the cars kind of have the same handling feel, by which I mean that they all feel like they're 15 thousand pounds and clunky. Hard to pinpoint the lack of enthusiasm to it though.

Haven't played the game in a few months, have to get back into it. Always get hooked when I do start playing.

@Blofse Been the same way for me really and I blame the general feel of this entry. Past Forza titles were the type of thing I could play forever because they just had so much depth to them as someone who enjoys building and tuning my ideal versions of cars. With this latest entry it's like so much of the experience has been compromised around making it an online focused live services experience, and if you're not into that it's just lacks anything to do really besides doing hot laps with cars. I mean for me the solo career was over rather quickly and then it's just the occasional monthly special series that feels more like a chore for me than something I want to do. Then I'll play something like World of Outlaws Dirt Racing 24 and be reminded of what a real racing career should feel like.

It's like they got it all wrong with this latest Forza Motorsport. Pre-race practice feels mostly pointless, there is still no real qualifying, and you have nothing to do with the majority of the cars you can acquire, like there is no championship series or anything outside of what you can setup as a free-race. Even take GT7 for example, there's loads of races and series for all kinds of cars, some simulating longer endurance racing with pit stops, something that Forza completely failed to capture.
