I always have trouble making decisions when I have lots of choices. While Forza 6's Career mode has a pretty simple structure, and I'm sure many of you have already completed all the series and have moved on to other things, I keep getting hung up trying to choose the best order to complete everything while preventing it from becoming tedious.
Even if you have completed the career already, keep in mind there are 6 classes to pick from in each volume, so with 3 series per volume and 5 volumes, that makes 90 series to run overall! All of which I plan to run eventually. If you're a completionist, it's worth considering.
So I had an idea to allow me to keep progressing without saving all the reruns 'til the end, or just running through the whole career six times, or picking out of a hat until all were completed.
A spreadsheet can be found here.
The basic idea is simple. Go through the first volume, and from then on, every time you complete a series in one volume, go backwards through the volumes doing one series each until you reach the beginning. The car classes are determined ahead of time too, so you get many races before they're repeated. By the time you're about halfway done, you'll be going through the entire career twice in a row, without repeating a single car class. After that, you'll be done with the first volume, and then gradually finish up the rest ending with the three Ultimate Motorsport Series in whatever you have left.
Needlessly convoluted? Probably! After all, I don't think many people complain that Forza's career doesn't have enough structure. However, I find that having everything laid out for me lets me plan ahead and choose cars ahead of time. It also means I have no excuse for not continuing, as your next task is already decided and there's no tedium of long term completion goals since every series matters. Finally, mathematically derived variety means I can't complain about repeating the same cars over again.
Let me know if you are going to try this. Also let me know if this is stupid and I should feel bad. I'm not expecting this to appeal to most people.
Oh, and there's an alternate order which ensures you run through the volumes forward instead of fastest to slowest each time, opposite career mode. The downside is the overall progression slows down as you wait to start a new volume.
Have fun!
