Xbox Multiplayer Question

[creativeslime]

Hi everyone, I am new to the whole genre and downloaded and have been playing FS17 on Xbox 1 X. Question I have is it that the multiplayer does not seem very robust in so far as having built in voice chat or other means of communication. Before I go and buy the latest FS I wanted to know if the Xbox multiplayer is any better or is it simply joining in randomly with little to no built in communications?

Thanks Jonny, it feels like this is a big weakness in terms of Xbox would you agree?

Guess they relied on Xbox parties and Playstation's equivalent to suffice communication. I don't know about communication much, but the gameplay aspect of 19 blows 17 out of the water in my opinion.

I'm also Wondering how well FS19 work with the Console Multiplayer, is it like the PC n Mac version where they can play together soo as long as your on an Xbone or a PS4 you'll be able to play together? or is everything separate on console, only Xbox players can play together, only PS4 players can play together?

FS doesn't have cross platform MP, Xbox can't play with PlayStation. Both 17 and 19 it can be a joke anyway. It works great when you are dedicated to playing with the same ppl. But trying to join a random lobby and you are missing 20+ mods that host has and you have no space for any. To add pc/Mac to that mix, I don't know, they would have to be really close best friends probably. 15 is only 1 i would consider random lobbies. Only dlc is an issue. When I host 15, I only have free dlc active.

More then likely, and farm sim isn't the only 1. When I'm playing with friends we are generally in a party regardless of the game. To a degree i don't see point in co-op games, but at the same time if you get a random that's willing to actually help but unable to message them. And I come across a lot of ppl that have there settings set to where randoms can't message them.

I won't ever understand why they have that option for messages. I miss a lot of them because of that

FS doesn't have cross platform MP, Xbox can't play with PlayStation.

xbox has seemly added cross play with PlayStation just think a game has to support it of course but i have 1 game that does.

Yea, COD has it, I think fortnite. But I would expect competitive games and mmos to get cross platform long before a co-op game with only a handful of players.

world of tanks has it and i so don't care fore it there are only a very few options in being able to report someone if needed and can't even block them.

I want ps4 xbox cross play it's already on both platforms so why can't we play together pc has a bigger map so I'm not expecting them to be apart of the cross play unless it's on dedicated servers etc?

Giant need to sort multiplayer out as I feel it kinda lets the game down a bit so along with the mod problem it takes ages and I have this problem every time the game saves it kicks me saying lost connection but I’m still connected to the Internet so I emailed giant they said it’s my internet and not them so I upgraded to fibre-optic’s And still have this problem dose anyone else? There is so much potential giant could do on multiplayer for sure
