Wow, this is actually a good improvement. I hope ivory tower notice this one.

[@Crew2.Hellcats]

I work for Ivory Tower 😮

[@MJMoonwalker332]

Lowered ride height option, widen tyres . Revert interior colour to stock. And Gloss or Matte rim colours

[@kdee3492]

For the rims specifically, if they put the same paint type options as the car's body will be nice. Also Hue, Saturation and Brightness sliders for paint. You cannot achieve some colours even though the palette looks full.

[@PTracer921]

5:00 your idea for drag tournament would be so 🔥

[@johnlarkindomingo4370]

Nah, all these be fax tho. The Crew needs to take notes

[@HappyWiggleworm.]

The best video you’ve made Sid. Thanks for being transparent and telling us the situation. I will stay subbed Sid. And we are here to help you get through this transition

[@cletusmcyeetus5975]

Fr man. Honestly they claim they're listening, but the shit they've been doing makes us feel like they're listening to us but immediately throw our feedbacks away. It's just bullshit. Simple as that. Why should we play a game that doesn't respect the players?

[@KainsTorment]

They never listen to bugs too. Nitro never works on boats for ages so I can’t do boat playlists

[@LancerOpt]

Honestly, I've really been trying to find a reason to play the game. I mean, after doing main stage and playlist, there's nothing else, just boring grand races and there's nothing else after that, so recently I've been playing other racing games, and I've never had this much fun, forza was amazingly fun and need for speed unbound multiplayer is so fun and even other games that don't have racing I've been enjoying honestly, Motorfest is just getting worse to me..

[@graememoloney8612]

Metro boomin make it boom

[@justme4563]

I just did read your ideas in the Video and I love ur concepts. That would be new wind for the game.

[@RafaelCarvalho-jy5ld]

The crew needs to improve with the fixes and adding features mid season that was already a problem in TC2, but you will understand that forza is very bland game that the only activity you have is the weekly playlists, for a person who played consistently FH4 and buyed FH5 on launch i dropped it in a month in half because was the same game with a diferent map (and a worse one IMO). And you cant only blame the game your content hasn't been good lets be fair you're constatly redoing the same concepts for videos only longer and longer wasting time, people start to getting tired of seeing the same clikbait (not hating its just critic).

[@McLarenGuy_24]

This vid is a banger and solidly the truth

[@christianvalentine5622]

I also wished they had a lot More playlists, I was almost a year late on the game and I got all the playlists done in like a month

[@rogerr_can2129]

Yes sid yes keep these videos coming . They need to Listen more to the crew Community !

[@Matt_thegoat]

I have a suggestion for Sid Waj to do more crew 2 videos but on peoples community creations?

[@Billy-bj6nk]

Hey man, the best of luck to ya👍

[@Pedro83740]

They should comeback with the motorpass. Motorpass was the biggest effort of the crew history

[@justme4563]

I would rather like big content Updates like DLCs. I dont like these season passes thats just "do your Homework to get these items because your time is Limited"

[@Bosslvl1]

​@@justme4563it was really easy to get all rewards you dont need to spend hours trust me motorpass was one of the best and exciting thing in game

[@nickjohansen9038]

The motorpass was even half assed tho. I completed it so fast and then just came back for the summits. It should have been twice as long.

[@ElRojoDhablo666]

The game is lame right now. I just played this week's summit, nowhere near 1mil, this week's summit is terrible, Ubisoft needs to get it together. I'm not even trying for legend points at all. Just done with it, and Ubisoft has completely started ignoring my feedback on X. They seem like they don't care.

[@Ryzza5]

Your timing for FH content might be perfect if FH6 gets announced next month (~9 June 2024). At least the Festival Playlist in FH5 promotes playing with friends and working together rather than just being a boring collection of leaderboards like the summit.

[@F1abx_edits]

Forza games are way more boring then motorfest. Only special thing that forza games have are cars and map. Overvall way more boring game

[@davidhebson1262]

I think you have every right to be critical of this game. The traffic in skills is a joke. And the fact they still allow players to use 3rd party auto clutch plus other hacks. Give it to everyone or none at all. The game has been out around 7 months and its utterly boring. I play on wednesday and thats it. I feel like ive been conned by ubi/ivt. This was never a full game and more of a DLC. Myself personally will nevwr buy anotjwr ubisoft game again. Well done on speaking out sid. ❤

[@FinnedOcean9389]

There are many people in the community that are super unhelpful when it comes to criticism edit: okay, shit. Hearing that they wont change the traffic in feats which is arguably the worst decision ever really just pushed me to not play anymore. I really wasted my money

[@Peaked_sparkle]

Sid, this is one of the best videos I ever watched from you (a bit depressing tho)😂😂

[@Rotten.rot.]

Tbh I see my self get on the crew 2 more then getting on the crew moterfest.cant wait to see ur forza content btw man 🙏

[@leequesada439]

3:00 yea i was highly upset about them not removing traffic from skills.. I'd much prefer to just blast through the SUMMIT feats and move one. WITHOUT having to do them 12 times because the traffic's thicker than the accent of a New Yorker in Texas and vice versa. Them telling us to fck off pissed me off even more..

[@haikhakopian2571]

Thei need to give you award for so many videos of playing the game and wanted to be a great game, you earned it men!!!!!!

[@Crew2.Hellcats]

FOUND A CLUE FOR NEXT PLAYLIST!!! In the American Muscle playlist picture they have changed one of the 3 mustangs to a Dodge DEMON the 3rd car across. but only the 2 billbords BY the container for amercan muscle....

[@fredcharleskrueger5183]

Only reason I get on the game anymore is to do grand races and collect vanities and cars that I was missing from The Crew 2, I don’t mind the re-ran cars for that reason, like how the Divo Magma Edition was brought back in December of last year as a Platinum Summit Reward. The challenges of each playlist I can’t really be bothered to do, many of the challenges I will never be able to do anyway because they require other members of your crew to be with you, but to have a crew you need friends, other real people. It makes it so I lose motivation to do anything apart from the vanity and car collecting… TL;DR; I only get on to collect cars and vanities. Occasionally do Grand Races.

[@Gobdaw]

Well... having just bought motorfest and comics g back to your channel for motorfest content... not exactly the first video I was hoping for, but this is what I got. I hope I didn't make a mistake buying it

[@G.0347]

Ivory tower really needs to turn to the players, they need to care more about the game and bug fixing. They should make a suggestions tab ingame, or on the website. where you can put images and text into the suggestion, and try to make it work together as a community. I totally understand the decision you are making, Sid. i have not played motorfest for over a month, because i finished all the playlists, all skills, all photo missions, there is no fun anymore in the game. The concepts you have made should be in the game 1000%

[@Ryzza5]

The Summit just isn't fun enough to keep me coming back, especially with the fomo, the mostly unchanged structure from TC2, and the lack of multiplayer promotion (when friends don't have similar skill level). I've 'played' for a year (beta) and am pretty much done, sans maybe a brief look at new playlists.

[@codywgarner8767]

Facts I agree the traffic should not be in our summit period also if they would just listen to people who play the fucking game then they would actually have something in the updates, no one cares about another drift summit.. what about summits for all the other categories of vehicles, like dirtbikes,rally raid,rally, f1 cars, planes, and all they add is st2 hyper and st1 every now and then is crazy to me. Plus both year one pass cars where just more drift cars ? When we just got done getting hoonigan drift vehicles. They ignore all the other cars and types of vehicles that are in the main game. All they add is cars from the crew 2 and call it “new” but they’re not.

[@PTracer921]

It's not only that they chose not to remove traffic, but at least address it by adding skills that are offroad or locked to a certain car just not boring slaloms. What do we expect a huge team of devs to do

[@apex_predator_2783]

Photo mode does not work for me its so unfortunate because its like my favorite thing in the game, like why is there a cap on how much photos you can take. The photo gallery is even worse 1. I cant even enter it my game Just crashes. 2. Even if i could get into it half of my photos are Just black.

[@maxfieldstewart7363]

Sid, I've always enjoyed your commentary and content. Burnout is a real thing. You should consider how much of your frustration is objective vs what happens when you really just mine a game for everything it has and ... well.. there's nothing left. I think /all/ racing games on the market today have this issue. FH vs Forza vs Crew 2 or Motorfest or Unbound... they all run out of steam. Ivory tower tries hard to keep the live service bit going but it's also clear Motorfest was rushed and not a real Crew replacement. I don't think you'll find hope in FH5, I burned out on that far faster than I did Crew (thanks to summits being actual meaningful weekly content). And Forza Motorsport is also... struggling atm to gain real traction. And Electronic Arts can't bring meaningful live updates to their NFS series (too focused on making sure we all buy the next one). Best of luck! I'll check in on your FH video's.

[@danielblok7762]

I’m down for some Fozar content

[@jorgec3577]

Me now with both game: Do the Summit get whatever and see you next week. Only if i can get a Summit car on TC2 i do some effort.

[@nthngomes]

Ubisoft and Ivory Tower sucks and Crew Motorfest is a shambolic mess keeps crashing now as well on the PS4 Consoles

[@SaneU_c]

Honestly I wouldn’t mind their laziness on this game if we at least got more pvp content. Why can’t we load up a match with single category races or lapped races? Im just so done complaining abt this game for the improvements it could realistically implement yet having the community receive no communication from IVT despite how desperately we want this game to succeed. It’s so sad and ik it’s most likely Ubisoft’s fault for the lack of communication. They’re just another Activision-esk company. Greed, lack of communication, and most importantly, lack of passion for their game and willingness to improve it

[@The0sidewinder]

have you played Steep or Riders Republic?

[@Pedro83740]

Developers are thinking they are updating the crew 2 a game already with thousands of different races and themes. It is what I always said. Those playlist are nothing more than secondary content

[@Bosslvl1]

I love crew i had alot hours in 1 and 2 and now in motorfest about 600 but now i only play when they add good new car in sumit and collect car reward from car meet and that is it...

[@oskarip3322]

I will last for about 3 weeks i guess

@@SidWaj thank you I’m going to try that

[@Boss_3A5]

It’s not just the crew The new racing festival games have lost their souls. You need a proper lore

[@KTR_ProrataEevee]

I think the main issue is expectations over reality. People over expect things and people complain. Another thing is if we did have more full story driven games, we'd sooner or later get sick and tired of them and consider them "soulless" like what you think these "racing festival" games are now.

[@Boss_3A5]

@@KTR_ProrataEevee I’m on about particularly the newer festival games like horizon 5 and motorfest If you compare them to there previous counterparts with actual story lines I think most people perfect those games. People like to work towards an aim/goal and in those older games cases it was finish the story then it was chill with friends. Rivals and heat did amazing jobs at striking the hybrid. These newer games have no goal and they didn’t get you invested like the older games

[@KTR_ProrataEevee]

@@Boss_3A5 I have played fh1 and fh2, and they stories are... kinda crap tbh (fh1's "story" is just the fh3/fh5 hotwheels expansion, but with unskippable and meaningless comments at the sart of races and fh2's is so forgettable, the only part that's memorable are the stupidly long drives). It might be just placebo or nostalgia hiding reality idk

[@polca_yt]

Sid, Everyone want to remove npc on summits, but they dont do it because they dont want to have T.A.S. in the game.

[@skyraiser9]

T.A.S.?

[@nitroushusky4284]

be fun if you try beamng its a crazy game

[@Barvac2013]

I was so hyped for this game to come out! But now I barely even play it because IVT only does the bare minimum and doesn't even try to make this a relevant game!

[@MJMoonwalker332]

If one update is 4 months the minimum amount of cars should be 16. That's 1 new vehicle a week. 4 month updates are way too long and there's not much in it.

[@bigcain212]

3:19 Well, it makes sense to keep it for the skills and all other free roam events. Because it would take actual skill to game past it, but in racing, it needs to be And the liveries are messed up for me. All the things yall are saying is messed up. It's not messed up for me but I have been having problems with my game freezing and crashing when I use rewind in some of the motorsports f1 circuit Playlist & it's only a select few events that it happens in.

[@guyzer646]

I agree with everything you have said and your concept ideas,and ive played all three and moterfest is the most disappointing

[@Ronin_Tttm]

tbh I wish they added simple things like rim materials and the mirrors. that's all I need to really enjoy the game again for a few months. rn I don't play the game at all. even when I'm bored of every other game, I just go do smth else bc I'm too bored of TCM.

[@Ronin_Tttm]

tbh I really wanted to get the Skyline r34 last summit, but I was so bored of the game that I didn't even bother trying or even starting the game. I haven't played the game for 5 or 6 weeks now.

1.He just says what a lot people want to tell Ivory Tower if you don’t like it simply don’t watch 2. A bunch of the crew community agree with his ideas and concepts , like he said in the video (multiple times) he just wants the game to get better,

[@evanjd_]

Your complaints aren't complaints like you said. It's constructive critism for a game that fell off several months ago. Maybe if they didn't slap together the game and release it several years early we would have working mechanics and working mirrors like FH5 has. TC2 is still much better them TCM in almost every way. The handling in TCM is better then TC2 but nowhere near the way it should be (comparing it to FH5 since that arcade game did handling correctly). And the minuscule map in a 2024 title... Everyone is bored out of their minds playing motorfest. They never should have made it a festival playlist style game after seeing the fatigue that came from Forza's FIFTH festival entry... Okay i'm done with my rant. Sid keep making your video's and ignore the people saying your complaining. We need to show IVT that they need to change things before their player count disappears completely. Also make some FH5 videos man. It's by far a better game

[@TH1508]

Go back to The Crew 2

[@justinkelly9526]

Why is he choosing the option..... Money. It's about money. People dont give a shit about his Crew videos...... No one wants to watch videos about it..... Saved you 20 minutes of him complaining about how Ivory Tower doesnt put his ideas and concepts into the game...... He thinks hes important enough that he should be given a direct line to them so he can create stuff and have them put it in their game...... Dude slipped up once and said "hire me", then quickly backpeddled. He's honestly just upset they wont pay him to continue being their shill. That is all. Dude makes videos about a game and he suddenly thinks he's important enough to where his voice should create change..... Like sit down Sir Squeaks Alot. You're 1 dude out of the entire player base, you aren't more important than any one else. Yes the game should be fixed, that's all that's important right now. Not your "concepts". Please take the nuclear option and just leave the game. I'm sure it will save them a headache knowing they aren't dealing with "Mr. I'm important listen to me"... They might actually get shyt done then.

Sid, SidSidSidSid... Shhh.... I don't want to be the bearer of bad news here, but... Developers... Don't have to do what gamers tell them to do. The developer is the artist here. If they decide something should be a design choice, it's because it's their intellectual property. I think it was quite ballsy of them to make that announcement publicly - they really didn't need to - and I honestly commended them for doing so. Purchasing a game based on what is presented to you is very much an informed personal choice. Saying, "What I was given is bad and I want it changed after the fact" is barking up the wrong tree. It would be way different if it was something that functionally broke the game (see the recent Sony/Helldivers BS or TC1's delisting). But to be fair, *you* have broken this game more than IVT themselves have. But that's none of my business.
