Yeah 100% concur with all of this, my play time has dropped off a cliff, frustrated at what should be simple things to fix

Pretty ridiculous I've still not won an engine in all this time - in fact I've not even seen an engine on the roulette wheel for weeks. Just let me buy them ffs.

I lucked in a few weeks ago with the K20 Turbo so put into my EK9 Civic. Haven't seen another one since, and I've got a cool looking RX7 just waiting for the 787b lump...

You know, I think they should go one of two ways with the roulette stuff. Either, have the roulette full of stuff you can't buy, so that every time you're winning something not obtainable elsewhere, or have it so that at least you're very rarely getting the lowest prize each time.

My last 10 spins all been lowest value amount or car parts for rubbish cars. I'm hoping for a big updated new missions fix lobbies different daily races pretty much what has been said previous.
The lobbies are the main thing that could be such a good tool for game content but so lacking in just finish. Not being able to save settings is a huge bug bear.

So doing the manufactures series ATM and it's almost impossible to do anything in gr4 cars if you don't have 4wd in the top lobbies. How can bop been in place when the cars are clearly not balanced at least allow us to tune gearing and suspension so the weaker cars can do something over just lossing loads of time out of corners and on straights. Using the genesis was 5-10mph slower down the straights than the 4wd cars plus worse out of corners. Done 3 races gave up on the last one after being taken off and no chance of cat Hong back up.
Also have to do a pit stop but with pretty much zero tyre wear or fuel useage what is the point of that.

If they trying to be a big thing in eSports side of things they are failing ATM on that compared to other racing games.

At least connection seemed to be good for this week on sport mode the lobbies though very poor ATM.

Monza? If so I raced it 3 times yesterday and came 6th every time, I am only in Group C though. I like the track which made me sign up but I stupidly chose the Ferrari, I still enjoyed it though and it seems the races are slightly cleaner then the daily's.

Due to the forced pit stop and no fuel or tyre wear, my strategy was to pit after the first lap. I come out in clean air and effectively try to match my qualifying times until the rest of the field pits mid way. I manage to climb a few places.

Echo some of the above. I thought I’d take a browse of the GTplanet forum last week and I was quite surprised how many people were getting annoyed with the game/PD from a site that is normally very fanboy about it so to read that actual professional players are now dropping it does not surprise me.

Another +1 to what is mentioned above!

Achieved the platinum trophy earlier this week (Which itself seems a bit of a cop out given I haven't done a lot of races and own a tiny amount of cars, but not complaining! ) and there isn't a great deal that makes me want to keep playing it like I was.

I have stopped playing for a while too, the AI is just too annoying at times.......

[Stussy]

I’m still doing the spa race, and randomly picking one of the dozens of cars I never use to just go and stick on a body kit, paint and some wheels to make it look better. Apart from that I don’t really do a lot else.
I don’t have the spare time for liveries now, so stopped those too.

I must admit I'm finding less and less to enjoy with this game, the AI are annoying, repetitive weekly races, weird physics.. especially the MR cars, depressing payouts on the daily tickets, multiplayer is hit and miss with glitching, limited single player content.. as a first attempt at a game I could understand some issues, but PD have been at this long enough to get these things right.

[ecsrobin]

How’s everyone doing for payouts since the last update? I’ve only had 1-2 star tickets

Considering this was the 25th anniversary, and that they've had nearly 5 years since the last GT, and that this GT is not even much of an evolution of GT Sport, it's hard to know how they've got it SO wrong and gone backwards SO much.

I find it amazing that we’ve reached a point where AAA titles (not just GT7) can be released and the player base are expected to be the beta testers.

After a particularly bad couple of days last week where league racing was impossible I threw my toys out of the pram and ordered a bunch of PC parts. Hopefully LFM on ACC will fill the void of GT Sport.

Completely agree with this and is probably reflected in my dwindling collection of games (almost always buy disc copies) for each subsequent PS since the 2. My Cyberpunk is still in it's wrapping as I can't be arsed with that. It's no better on the other side, if I want to have a blast around FH3 - good luck here's your 20mins before it crashes after the latest update, I expect trying to force you into the latest version, all very underhand.

ACC servers are suffering with DDOS attacks at present.

Probably from polyphony

I saw SRO got attacked at the weekend but LFM seems to have escaped. I’d imagine it’s not worth their effort to disrupt a 20/40min race every hour

Yup I paid £90 or so for BF2042. I have now deleted it.

I would not mind so much either but prices have rocketed whilst quality on release has plummeted.

The last few games I’ve purchased just don’t seem worth the price tag so will just wait until reduced. It’s also killed my want for a PS5.

On the plus side, mileage in qualifying now counts for the daily mileage.

I need them to re-enable brake balance adjustments. Fixed settings is fine, but I need brake bias to get the cars to behave how I'd like.

The handling of the Gr.3/4 cars is now similar to ACC I think. There is a definite knack to extracting lap time.
