Things that annoy you in FM5

After our lobbies last night I was left feeling a bit frustrated with the game, so just after what others think.

My annoyances are:

1. Lap times, I want my splits in front of where I'm looking, not in the top right corner so I have to look away from my line. Also show me my fastest lap so I know what I'm aiming for.

2. Positions, ok I'm 5/8 but who the hell are in front of and behind me, I would quite like to know what's going on elsewhere in the race. Can see this being very isolating if you have fallen adrift in league play.

3. Parties, give me a simple way to join in and race with my friends!

4. Brakes, why does every car have to be so sensitive to braking as default?

5. Stupid Top Gear people and voice over lady describing everything to me, I'm not as thick as I look Baz.

Overall I definitly think this is a rushed and unfinished game which is very, very disappointing to me.

points 1-4 i completely agree. point 5 the jury is still out

I've edited it for you Baz   

Think all my frustrations fall under the banner 'not quite finished/lack of depth' Agree with yours Gt but add to that...v v v high number of cars with paint glitches, marketplace, default overwrite of files without warning, connection issues un quantifiable (standard 360 lag + we now get invisible cars, random dnfs, speed up, slow down etc etc) Kinnect still doesn't work as a chat device yet using 'official' wheel forces use of it, no replays in lobbies etc etc and a lot of smh

Big positive though is give it a few months to iron out the issues, update patches and the potential is exponential, really do have high hopes for future titles...we have the technology, just awaiting adequate execution

the game as a whole is just a complete flawed piece of fucktard! absolutely crap and i really struggle to maintain interest in it, our season can`t come quick enough. as all points mentioned, painting is a mess, the menu`s are atrocious, career is repetitive/boring, online is just non existent, joining a lobby is ridiculous and on and on.
it is a rushed bodge job and so unfinished, but like lou mentions there are some positives. the physics are superb and the graphics as expected are good.

Tis a real shame because i can`t praise the physics enough, very realistic and a massive step forward. unfortunately the game as a whole is just hollow with no substance!
such a disappointment when the potential is there to be seen
  

also i can`t stand T10 after this, they sold out and screwed the true forza fan well and truly over   

physics are spot on though just in case forgot to mention that

Destroyed the community and now won't talk to the community by the looks of the Forza forums.

Some of the things they've done I'm just so gobsmacked that they can be that stupid! Graphics and physics wise its a slight step forward, usability wise and its a very, very big step backwards imo

Forza 4 for the win!    

My latest ball ache with FM5 is the dedicated severs is there only 1 server hosting in the UK? every lobby we run seems to have much more lag than FM4 and that lag affects everybody in the lobby as fm4 it was only a few people at a time that had problems.
