Forza good with a wheel?

[Kyle B]

I have been thinking about getting a wheel for this game, but the videos i see on youtube say's forza sucks with a wheel and use a controller.

I'm better with a gamepad but will use a wheel for single player fun.

I use a Logitech G29 and I think it works great.

Thanks for your guys input

It feels fantastic with a wheel. They provide much feedback (more than most games), so it helps keep you engaged.

Perhaps the people saying it sucks were talking about Horizon. Horizon is decent enough, but a totally different experience.

I just ordered the g920. I looked and it looks like the best one for the good price.

This is the one I use and yeah it's great. Fits on a desk just nicely as well.

Definitely in this version of the game the improvements in steering wheel control are huge! It really feels quite realistic. But the problem is with multiplayer...pad control is more arcade and if you play with a steering wheel you have no chance of getting a good ranking in the races..

Not really...it requires a lot of tinkering with a lot of FFB settings to get something remotely decent, whilst other racing games provide good FFB out of the box and only let you set the strength. Even after trying to get somewhat good settings it still doesnt feel as good as the other motorsport games on the market.

It doesnt even take away the job of giving each car its own feel, if you dont manually tune each car, a small Golf feels identical to a Bugatti. Even GT7 takes this effort away from you, making their small daily driver cars feel much easier to steer than their LMP or hypercars.

Also if you download a tune from someone you have to pray that they have set the FFB of the car correctly because you cant change the FFB of a car where the tune is downloaded.

I think that the people who tell you the game feels great with a wheel have never played a racing game other than forza.

This game is great with a wheel only if you don't have any experience with other simracing games.
Otherwise I suggest you to play Forza Motorsport with a gamepad and use a wheel only for fun.

it's good

I've played a lot of AMS2, iRacing, ACC, and FM. Wheel is fine in this. AMS2 is more lively and exaggerated, iRacing is probably just better all around, and I don't like ACC FFB much.

I have to turn the AI down 1-2 notches if I go to controller, mostly because I suck with a controller. I definitely don't feel disadvantaged with a wheel.

In particular in series where tire life matters it seems the wheel can make a big impact.

[leviofan]

its worse than any other sim imho, some cars feels fine, but other can be disaster. Also ffb settings are crazy

No, it is a bit strange actually.

It's playable some may say enjoyable but overall the wheel experience is lacklustre, numb and unresponsive considering this is a AAA team with 20 years experience really should of been looked at and addressed as a matter of priority given the feedback they received it's not up to standard.

Being a sim or arcade doesn't define weather a racing game is good or bad it's playable some may say enjoyable but overall the wheel experience is lacklustre considering this is a AAA team with 20 years experience really should of been looked at and addressed as a matter of priority given the feedback they received it's not up to standard.

The game is primarily designed to be played on an Xbox. Most Xbox players use a controller. The fact that some have made it their mission in life to compare a console sim to hardcore PC sims is a credit to FM23 not a detriment. It's like comparing a Mustang GT to a Ferrari.
