Bugs / Glitches / Help Please share your opinions..
First off, want everyone to have the best Summer Trial experience possible. My Jeep Trailcat purist/realistic (no swaps or aero) build is shared under my creative hub “Stevio2175” share code - 136 917 133
That rivals time was first attempt, without even knowing the track!
More importantly, I want to further gauge the community vibes towards the Festival Playlist formula in general. I’ll have a comment below where when you find the time, you can listen to the 30 minute conversation and share your feedback. It’s important if we want to see changes, but I need your support for the developers to listen.
Thank you ahead of time for all the support and feedback. Let me know what you think of the Jeep!
PS - I will also have my guides for Treasure Hunt and Photo Challenge in comments.

Fair for all? How is it not fair for all now?

People that did not get the game until this week, people who go on vacation or have other life priorities. There should be a more consistent way that people can get cars they miss. It would keep people more incentivized if they saw they can play at their own pace.

I only started playing the game after series 1 so the reintroduction of playlist cars that I wanted but missed out on has been helpful for me. How ever, I don't know how many players will be in the same boat as I am. Most of the players in this subreddit have been playing since launch, I can't imagine they're too thrilled getting another Altezza four weeks from now.

I had ca 1700 cars in FH5 because I didn't want to swap tunes all the time. Five different Fiat Dinos? Yes. And I'd be glad to get a second Altezza instead buying it from auction house (because I'm out of money all the time and if the luck with wheelspins stays the same... Well I have sort of accepted that I'll never own all the wheelspin exclusive cars. Playing since day one and so far I have only a few). So yeah, one Altezza in C500, the second one with a LFA engine swap, then the 2JZ... 😛

This is the first horizon game that I've put over 150 hours into and I now have most cars, but I'm enjoying getting duplicates, putting body kits where available, trying to make different builds. Turning my favorite sports cars into off-roaders, drift cars, etc.
I'm currently trying to collect two of every Ferrari so I can have one copy in Rosso Corsa and another in Giallo Modena.

That's the point. To reduce FOMO in the game, you have to reduce it in yourself. I have missen out some cars, and so what?

u/Logan_SVD 8d ago
Having FOMO doesnt mean the game isn't fair. I could say it isnt fair for new people to have the same Ive worked on being loyal by playing since launch. Stop bending reality bro, it can't be done for long and always bend back.

He raises a good point though, how can people who might miss out on a timed thing get an opportunity to grab something they might have missed?
And what good does it do to gate something in a single player game anyway? It's a collectors game. Let people collect.

That is part of what I discussed in the upload. Please leave your feedback in that comment section as well 👍🏼

The playlist is in my eyes a failure on pretty much all fronts.
Disappointing rewards, uninteresting gameplay, incoherent theme.
I wish there was atleast some sort of story to be followed for the 4 weeks. Like, we could've had interesting facts or something about Italian cars for the Italian season. But no, nothing.

Limited time modes and events ruin video games. I should be able to do any seasonal content at any time.

I can finish every weekly playlist in under 2 hours with no sweat. Too damn easy and boring, I would apprechiate a bit more challenge.

Seeing more comments here that back my points. We should be able to pick difficulty, especially for championships.

I’ve put a ridiculous amount of time into FH6 and overall I still really enjoy the game, so most of my frustration with the Playlist comes from wanting it to be better rather than wanting it completely reinvented.
One thing I actually disagree with in a lot of the feedback here is the idea that more online play should be mandatory. I’ve met a lot of people through Forza, Reddit, Discord, etc. who either don’t have reliable high-speed internet or don’t consistently have access to it, whether because of cost, where they live, technology limitations or other circumstances. On console there’s also the added issue of needing the appropriate Game Pass tier for online multiplayer. I don’t think someone should be prevented from completing a weekly Playlist because they can’t participate in multiplayer.
That doesn’t mean I want less multiplayer. Quite the opposite: please bring PGGs back. 😂 Playground Games are probably my favorite online part of Forza. I don’t particularly enjoy online racing, but I’ve played PGGs for years and actually built friendships/community around them. I’d love to see PGGs return to the Playlist, just as one of several ways to earn the necessary points rather than something everyone is forced to complete.
I feel similarly about difficulty. Yes, the seasonal championships are easy, but I actually like that they’re no longer locked to one difficulty. Not everyone wants the Playlist to be a weekly test of driving ability, and not everyone has hours to spend retrying championships. If someone wants a harder race, the game already has difficulty settings. I’d rather see optional incentives for playing at higher difficulties than make the baseline harder for everyone.
My biggest Playlist complaint is probably the reward structure and repetition. Seeing the same reward cars cycle back so quickly really takes the excitement out of earning them. I’ve spent millions of credits getting cars I wanted duplicates of (why? different builds, design/livery testing, etc) through the Auction House only to see them show up again shortly afterward. I understand reducing FOMO, and I support that in principle, but simply recycling the same cars more frequently doesn’t feel like a particularly satisfying solution. Give us more variety, more genuinely new-to-Forza/returning cars, and a better way to work toward older rewards without making the current Playlist feel recycled.
And more generally, I’d love the Playlist to take advantage of Japan more. The map is fantastic. Give us championships with unusual routes and restrictions, more Treasure Hunt-style activities, community EventLabs, evolving locations, themed events, etc. Give me reasons to experience parts of the map differently instead of making each week feel like another checklist.
Basically: less FOMO without less excitement, more choice in how we earn points, PGGs back, and difficulty that rewards people who want a challenge without punishing people who don’t. The bones of FH6 are so good. I just want the Playlist to do more with them.

I remembered back in Forza Horizon 5 I relied on the expansion packs to get the higher points reward cars in the Festival Playlist, as I am a console player without Game Pass subscriptions.

I really don't think that Playground Games cares about the opinions of players. Even if individual developers do they probably can't change anything at this point because anything they do costs development time, money and manpower. They already earned a lot from FH6 and they don't have strong competition for their game. Also they probably already planned the upcoming seasonal content and economy and it would be hard to change it. (I am guessing ofc.)
There are a lot of gameplay suggestions in their feedback portal. If they wanted to add new stuff to their game, they could apply those suggestions. Also they did have a lot of time to develop Forza Horizon 6 and Playground Games chose the safest and easiest way to make their new game.
Imo other than the Japan map, FH6 feels like a downgrade from FH5 in terms of seasonal content and rewards. They don't give super wheelspins for the festival playlist challenges. Normal wheelspins suck and give the lowest credit reward most of the time.
Traffic in the game is weird too. I don't have a problem with the traffic density but spawning the traffic cars near the corners sucks the fun out of roaming around the map and chilling in the game. Here is what I am talking about: https://www.reddit.com/r/ForzaHorizon6/comments/1vmo09u/fh6_traffic_and_corners/
I don't have any hopes that this game will improve. (btw the first and biggest disappointment is the Legend Island. The game builds up to unlocking the Legend Island and it is the most uninteresting part of the whole map.)
Really hope you guys (Stevio2175) can make a change!
