I've been doing this since launch with Parsec and the PC version, it's not bad. But her example of where she'd play it - the London Underground - was a bit of a miss since you only get (really slow) WiFi on platforms, not on the train... Literally the only commute in London where using cloud services is impossible!
 
I just broke 400k on the Needle Climb drift zone, my previous best was 385k in a Veyron SS but my S2 930PI Abarth 595 Esseesse (complete with Carabinieri livery) just got 400,661 points, I went off the road twice too so there's easily more to come. I don't even know if that's a good score around these parts, but it's good enough for the top 6% on the global leaderboard (52,349th place sounds far less impressive!) I might try putting some aero, drift suspension and racing tyres on instead of no aero and rally suspension and tyres.

Edit: I'll no doubt discover this score isn't even in the GTP top 100, it was a fun run though!

Just had another go with a more appropriate setup and got 431,218 points which puts me in the top 3% at 27,617th place. I like this car! Still a couple of offs, too.

There have been some pretty funny battles in the GTP drift board lol. It’s funny seeing random cars in there.
 
With that demo she was playing on the phone did anyone notice the huge input lag? If you are out and about with bad WiFi or 4/5G signal its going to be a bad experience.
 
Just got the "Spring into Racing" achievement for finishing one of the completed Seasonal Championships. I reccomend anyone get it quick before the summer starts, because for three weeks does not sound fun.
 
The new season interface is improved, with the new prize structure :)

Shame the Z4 and GTR aren't until spring, only interesting part of the update for me is 3 weeks away even though the car is technically sitting there ready to go.
 
Do you have to win the events or just complete?

In Forza slang, win =/= complete.

But this is Playground and they love to see people suffer, so I'd guess you must win.

Ya spend an hour on one round of Playground Games just to find out you have to win. This super sucks
 
It seems like PG just completely took any reason for me to continue playing FH4 away. I loathe multiplayer anything and especially multiplayer racing games so forcing me to actively win rounds in to have a shot at getting some cool cars just isn't worth it.

I get that they need to change things up to keep the game feeling fresh, but I feel like this is a step backward.
 
The progress bar glitch was just a minor annoyance at first, but now it's actively getting in the way of completing challenges. I got it when I completed a speed zone, and then it wouldn't go away, which means I couldn't complete any other speed zones or speed traps because nothing registered because the progress bar wouldn't go away. I had to quit the game and restart twice now.
 
I've just done the two multiplayer elements of the whatever we're calling the seasonal stuff now, I must've been lucky - actually no, I know I was lucky. The Trial (still such an apt name) started off strong, kind of, with two easy wins off the bat, but the fastest human was a wall jockey. I didn't even notice in the first race because he only passed me near the end, but in race 2 he hit me hard a number of times, as we were so far ahead it didn't really bother me though.

Then in race 3 he missed a checkpoint so I was in the lead with four AI behind me, we lost that one, and then on race 4 he did the same again but another human was in 1st, I was in 2nd. There was an AI not far behind me and a human just behind that, so I slowed down to block the AI, let the human through and that just about tipped the scales in our favour - then the race leader's connection dropped on the last corner of the last lap! I thought as the score would be 2 - 2 there's no way the game would be generous enough to gift us the win, but it did.

We did more or less the same on the playground games so half the other team had quit by the end of round 2, it was easy from there but I don't understand why the game kept making us play even though we were 3 - 0 in the lead with only two rounds left.

Anyway, as much as I hate it, at least I don't have to think about it for another week. I do want those cars, sorry.

Strange how Series 6 spring season ended up contributing to Series 7 overall completion. :odd:

Not a good sign. Not only do they have a bug, it hits before doing any of season 7. I would lol, but... what happens when we get to season 7 spring?! I didn't 100% season 6 spring so that could screw up my chances. I was undecided on whether to bother anyway and the fear of bugs may seal the deal.
 
Got through every online event that was there, and now only have only solo events to complete.

However, I hope this "Playlist" is removed to bring back the old one again. Because honestly, this "forcing players to do this and that" is not going to last forever.

I hope they don't remove it. I like the layout and the convenience of seeing all of the seasonal content in one place. (Should fast travel you to the location of the event, anyway)

What I do think they should do is adjust the rewards scheme, and not make the timed exclusive cars rewards for 100% completion. Instead have the rewards be some of the older exclusives/wheelspin cars (Which there are quite a few of) and introduce the new cars as championship rewards again or put them in 50% completion
