PS4 Players staying still on track for the entirety of MP matches.

Why is this still allowed? Also I think players who don't enter any controller/wheel-pedals input from the time the timer ends to the time the flags start counting before a race should be automatically removed from the race to avoid people who forget they're waiting to play a match ruining the start for everyone else. I must admit though that sometimes when races take 20 to 30 minutes to start I also leave and there's been times I've almost forgotten that I was waiting for a race to start, but that's another issue being discussed here

 

In some simulators, you have to make "forward progress" during the race (within a time limit), or you're disqualified and sent to the pits (insta-pit style). I'd love to see this feature come to AC, but I'm not sure we'll see it in the current iteration.

 

The multiplayer on AC could be the best out there, but it’s not due to some very basic stuff that’s in every other racing game.

Public lobbies,
There’s no systems what so ever to discourage wreckers, the vote system doesn’t work, it requires to many people to vote as a percentage of players.

Private lobbies,

There’s no real host to control room.

There’s no way of selecting a low ping server.

There’s no gap between qualifying and race. It’s just a timed countdown.

Your race group has to leave the lobby to start a new race up with different cars tracks, then the process starts again.

Quite basic stuff for 2017, and that’s why our race group has stopped playing it. Ffb is the best out there, but the rest of the game as a package for fun racing in a group is seriously lacking in some departments.

 

I'd add:

The ability to invite from within a practice/qualifying session. If you don't get everyone in before you leave the lobby, or if someone comes online late, it can be a pain to get them into the session.

The ability to "Join Session" from the Playstation system menus (party, friend list, etc).

 

We can do that on Xbox as long as the pass word is known. Friends list join game.

 

I'll have to test it out in the most recent version. I've overlooked a few new features in the latest release.

 

Agreed with everything. It appears however that certain improvements will have to wait until AC2 and I understand that. However I think certain things can be implemented with the current system (i.e , automatically kick out players who stay in the middle of the road not moving).
