Forza Horizon 4 | Shelby Monaco Destroys S1 Class (And The Game?)

[@xexecuterxx]

the pi system is borked. undeesteery cars with much more rear than front grip like the tracktor and boneshaker destroy anything, the system prioritizes turn in too much, and this car is enigmatic in why its so op but still is more proof the game needs revising along with the revisions, they woild have to reset the rivals leaderboards obviously but I'm willing to have that happen

[@hendrikt9339]

Cauz of the stupid Pi system I actually stopped playing online games. I had 2.7k team and 3.5k solo ranked points

[@Rem_NL]

just started playing fh4 a couple of weeks ago, but it seems like all the cars that are op are (locked) behind DLC. Am I wrong in stating that FH4 online is basically pay to win?

[@hendrikt9339]

No, only the Shelby is a very OP dlc car. The other cars are free

[@WillFuI]

Hope next gmaevthey find a middle ground between fh3 and fh4

[@apexiw]

they banned cars on FM7 so why don't start doing that on FH4? if a car is that broken why not just ban it for multiplayer? and if they nerf these op cars imo they should restart the leaderboards.

[@ShikayHawken]

That's way too restrictive. It defeat the purpose of Horizon series which is supposedly to express yourself and do whatever you want with any car. Beside, banning car is a lazy and sloppy move for balancing a game.

[@fartloudYT]

lazier than releasing a car that obviously outperforms anything in the class?

[@jesche6057]

I dont know.. fh4 had around 500+ cars? i wish there was a bit different in generell.. i mean, this game got dominated by v12 and boneshakers.. i wish there would be way more possible cars to drive in each class but.. no, u just need stuff like boneshaker or now this shelby. This game need´s a complete overhall about car balancing and i dont think this will happens ever

[@treerexaudi]

the poor honda odyssey

[@ShikayHawken]

@@fartloudYT, you can't always expect developers to release a balanced game content from the get go. There are things that the developers thought was balanced is not actually balanced at all. A few example of this similar case are DOTA 2, League of Legends, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. At some point in the lifespan of those games, they added new contents which straight up broke the balance. No games are safe from unbalanced new contents. That's where player feedback, like this video, comes in to play. Players are the one who get affected directly are supposed to give their opinions wether the content in the game are balanced or not. If the content is too weak or underwhelming, the developers can either leave it as is or give a buff to make the said content compete against others. The opposite also applies to OP content to make the content more inline with other contents so it's not outright breaking the competition. After the patch or update was provided, the cycle of player feedbacks and developers update starts again.

[@DriftKingBG]

The Shelby Cobra 427 is B700 stock. The Shelby Daytona has the same hp and weight but is B645 stock. I don't understand how can the developers justify that. And of course we all know the Daytona is op in A and B class.

[@7L_CD]

And the Cobra 427 turns worse

[@ZiiT3k]

Another ones like that, check the Plymouth Cuda classic & convertible, and the same for the Honda NSX-R/NSX-R GT. The PI system made the force of Forza franchise, & today its totally broken. Theres op cars like Johnson shows us, but also the same in the opposite, trash tier cars. I dont think i'm the only who had hard times with this week forzathon challenge. With the Mercedes racing truck in B700 or A800 it was impossible to win a street race without putting ai in beginner whereas im used to play in unbeatable.

[@thekinection424]

Actually, the Cobra 427 has 425hp, and weighs 2,350lbs But the Daytona has 390hp, and weighs 2,300lbs So it makes sense for the Daytona to be a lower class

[@StudentDriverBR]

They don't have same HP and weight and the AWD SWAP is OP not the car literally 90+% of OP cars are AWD swaps Literaly the only "OP" RWD are basically undriveable that the game throught as a useless piece of shit with a lot of HP and If you look the rivals they "fighting" with AWD and this on rivals on real race they are nothing amazing except ghost races

[@rankisdumb214]

I've been doing rivals and many of the racers in your videos are who im going up against now. I won't even attempt to use the Monico cause its by far the fastest S1 car with ridiculous handling.. Nothing and I mean NOTHING can compete with it. The only option I see is removing the car or removing the traction control option for that car. On a side note you need to check out the Ferrari 250GT. 750 hp at 2200 lbs and fully tunable I'm S1 class... I'm in the top 50 60 with it on a couple rival tracks which isn't to bad for someone who's only been playing the game for 3 months lol. The car handles well above its rating. My favorite is still the Ford gt350. Its not the fastest but it's definitely one of the easiest to drive. Video Idea: I have been wanting to do a racing concept similar to Nascar but where everyone uses identical cars. Identical upgrades, your own tune. This way there's no OP cars. Its simply each drivers tuning and driving ability against the others. I think that would be a awesome video. Run 10 lap circuit races. Identical cars.

[@tyymclarenfan]

It's the shelbys power to weight ratio, that makes it very very fast 👍

[@Johnson_Racing]

Indeed Tyrone :)

[@nightdrvavenger2087]

1000hp+, 400 kg and 9,3 handling .. in S1 .. What the fucking fuck ?.. is somebody actually check out the car before release ? .. where is the testing team ? i think u re right the PI really need a revise and reset of the leader board .. wont change much about who is at the top anyway .. im sure u ll be there .. nerfing OP cars is not enough, a lot of cars need buffs .. like the supercar with sport tyres stock with high S1 PI .. and what about a rebalance of the AWD and engine swaps

[@iverulfengrad3187]

The PI system needs fixing, my s1 ccx is 7.6 for speed yet hits 260mph hmmm.

[@Johnson_Racing]

These are the stats, that's something different. :)

[@iverulfengrad3187]

@@Johnson_Racing I know but it's still all connected. :) The whole stat/pi system is broken, has been since launch.

[@sebastianwilczynski86]

For now they should increase stock PI of those op cars and after that start thinking about ways PI can be revised. It can take way to long, and without any quick fixes, those cars will make to much damage to amount of people playing the game.

[@TheJayden3977]

Sebastian Wilczyński I miss the R1, R2, and R3 etc from Forza Horizon 1, the cars were much more balanced. The S1 and S2 system has always sucked because all cars are squashed in together plus I hate in FH4 that you can put F50 GT engine swaps in literally dozens of cars.

[@sebastianwilczynski86]

@@TheJayden3977 I haven't played FH1, but I remeber R classes from Forza 2 and 3, and I can agree with you. More classes, means better balance, but at the same time, longer queue times for online racing as it is now.

[@TheJayden3977]

Sebastian Wilczyński See that wasn’t an issue at all in FH1 because the online system involved public custom searchable lobbies. Back when everyone played it usually the host would pick an event and cycle through car classes, and there were plenty to choose from. They would start off with E and work their way up to R1 for an example. You could even create your own public lobby and adjust everything you saw fit including event, difficulty settings car class etc. Removing custom lobbies and replacing it with adventure modes was the worst decision the developers made, the online has literally gone so far back in the Horizon series it’s ridiculous.

[@dust133]

Woah never heard of this car before ima try it out 👌

[@RadialSeeker113]

[@Sawyer392]

[@Cornerer1]

Guys he's joking he's the very first guy who created this Monaco as well as Peel Trident OP shit and that's how the Monaco eventually spread to johnson community. Check out his Monaco and Peel Trident video in his channel.

[@Johnson_Racing]

Yeah, never heard of you before as well. :P

[@bmwracer67]

The PI system as a concept is great. The ability to race different kinds of cars and builds against each other always has been a selling point of Forza. The implementation of the PI system in FH4 sucks, though (and sucked majorly in the previous FH game as well). The implementation in motorsport games seems a lot better, albeit still far for perfect. I wish they would just nerf/recalculate the PI for the really op cars as a bandaid. Take the 10 most OP cars for every class, tone them down a bit and you get much more reasonable racing. Sure, some other cars will take their place as the best for their class, but by reducing the power level of the best cars they bring the best much closer to the average/mediocre car. That would make running such cars much more viable than it is now. In the long run they should just take a hard look at the formulas/simulations they use to calculate the PI of cars, since clearly in the Horizon series games the formulas keep introducing imbalanced cars.

[@tls5870]

I wonder if they thought you were doing the Johnson challenge everytime with the slow starts

[@ShikayHawken]

I feel like revising the PI system entirely right now will risk breaking the game completely. What I think should be done for now is to nerf the car specifically by increasing the PI value for specific cars. That's all I can think about tbh.

[@pineappleracing6547]

But they are calculated. They need to change the system by looking at AI lap times

[@Johnson_Racing]

Yeah it's too late now of course. I was actually talking about the upcoming Forza games in terms of revising. :)

[@ShikayHawken]

@@pineappleracing6547 That's exactly the problem imo. AI in Forza can be bs. Like, any of the AI can suddenly out accelerate you and out brakes you. Not sure, it's probably my bad driving or tune. Either way, car should be tested by competent drivers in the game instead of AI since they'll know which cars are powerful, underpowered, or straight up destroying the competition. And yes, it's also flawed considering the amount of cars in Forza by no mean are small which will take a long time. I'm not sure which testing method is better, but I'm siding on player tester more than AI tester.

[@pandatastic]

[@RaijinRacer011]

D Class has the Mini Cooper and Peel Trident as OP cars. Mini is very nimble while having above average speed, while the Trident is simply has the fastest top speed amongst all the D-Class cars.

[@MrWaffel]

TBF it looks like instead of nerfing the car itself, they should nerf the TC. What I would like to see is the telemetry data of this car, with and without traction control through corners. How much power does it have to "drop" in the corners that it can actually stay on track? I think they should reduce the strength of the TC a fair bit, either make it some millisecs slower to react, or reduce how much it can handle, because this is ridiculous. This car should have no corner speed at all. (EDIT: Or maybe split the leaderboards for driving aids as well? (maybe only for ABS/TCS though, not transmission) That way, ridiculous cars like this (S2-class power/accel, A-class handling) don't clutter up the "good" leaderboards.

[@andrew66769]

Traction control is already trash lmao. It kills way more power than is needed to keep grip.

[@adrianlamattina4466]

People with good trigger control can still use this without TC. Like 99% of the time i drive RWD without assist or proper tuning and i tested this out once and i could feel how op it is and never touched it since

[@conorsmith1325]

PI system definitely needs a rework its the same kind of cars dominating , quite a lot of useless cars like the rimac and every class besides maybe S2 has an OP tier car of sorts that just bamboozles the entire class which has made Rivals less fun for me as Id often challenge emy self to get oddball or under used cars as high up as possible

[@jaimedld]

I didn´t get to try the car but from the looks it´s average S1 handling,A class is way worse,the problem is the acceleration.

[@theeurodriver3378]

[@mikidurik]

is it still OP? or was it nerfed alreadY?

[@Larwood.]

Part of the reason it's OP is the PI system assumes you drive automatic, and the gearbox in this tune is shit. Shifts should take like 1 second, but they don't if you drive manual. It's more a problem with manual shifting being broken than the PI system being bad.

[@Clit_Yeastwood]

They won’t fix it though, in Horizon 2 the turbo upgrades on the Mitsubishi Evo X didn’t give power increases but increased turbo lag and weight and was never fixed, there have been glaring issues in previous forza games which still get exploited, and cars that are so OP and we’re never addressed and returning in multiple forza titles still OP, there was a conspiracy theory in Forza Horizon 1 them at the (incorrectly named) Ferrari 250 GTO was only the most expensive car in the game because the devs realised the car was broke as hell being able to access so many glitch spots that’s the only reason it cost 10,000,000 credits... I’m not holding out a lot of hope for anything getting fixed unless it’s the Forza Horizon 3 widebody glitch that allowed you to change the bumpers because “LiCeNcInG fUcKeRy” of course.
