Shuffleholics Anonymous - ATTENTION! PD Have Removed Shuffle Racing From GT (see post 20)

VBR · Jun 18, 2013

Hello, my name's VBR & I'm a Shuffleholic. It's been 16 hours since my last race.

My story;

It all started shortly after GT5 came out. Before then, in GT5 Prologue, I was happy to do all kinds of racing, but I was hooked after my first few Shuffle races in GT5, all I seem to want to do nowdays is Shuffle. Sometimes the racing's good, sometimes not, but either way it's all I wanna do on GT5. Somebody help me! :sly:

Anyone else addicted to Shuffling? Let's hear your story!

:lol:

I tried my hand at a few shuffle races yesterday, great fun, even though I got the crap end of the stick for cars. :lol:

Race #1 was at Monza with super cars. Finished 4th out of 9 people in an '02 Viper GTS.
Race #2 was at Nordschleife with super cars. Got possibly the best car in the game... a freaking RUF Yellowbird. Finished dead last. :indiff:

Race #3 was at Laguna Seca with sports cars. What did I get? The lovely Range Stormer concept. Surprisingly did well, finishing 3rd out of 11 people, beating the likes of RX7s, RS4s, and Evo Xs. :dopey:

I tend to stick to clean shuffle lobbies, but these seem to be slowly dying off sadly.

i was racing in a room with like six other people my shuffle came up as the 70s charger r/t and the circuit was cote d'azur, or monaco as some know it by. Anyways, i thought i was doomed by having that car because its a muscle car and its heavy and handles really badly, but with a top speed of 110mph and a narrow gearbox i could take the low speed corners with ease. i even got a compliment from ome of the guys in the room, he said "wow, you're really driving that charger!" and i was. i was driving it like i have nevver before and my heart was racing. it was a hard fought and great victory. i wish i would have saved that replay though.

I'm always shuffling. I like not worrying about choosing and tuning.

Id say I do 70% shuffle 20% league races 10% open lobbies.

nickg07 · Jun 18, 2013

Shuffle racing indeed! Love it, except when you draw a 4 speed yank tank and top out 30mph slower than everyone else on the straights.

sparkytooth · Jun 19, 2013

I love shuffle racing. The other day (I'm talking months) I won a race with an FF crap-box Focus RS. Everyone else was driving superior cars in every way. I'm so proud of that victory.

Shuffle racing is a cruel one indeed: You ever get the cobra or the Yellowbird, or something like a boat Lexus SC300 or you get something epicly good. You all have the same tires. It helps me work with different cars on crappy tires to perfect my skill.

Yep I'm a shuffleholic.

All I do is shuffle race. The PP usually dishes out evenly matched cars, and it lets you see who the truly talented drivers are. I dislike when people complain about their car, as they usually get beat by a lesser, but I do like how the cars are spread across the board. PSN is Rayzah, maybe I'll see some of you guys out there 👍

I recently started shuffling. I've fallen in love with it.
I first joined a Dirty shuffle room, and the racing was kind of like a stress reliever for me. It's kind of soothing ramming people off the track in a different car every race. Of course, I enjoy a clean shuffle race when it happens.

This was my very first shuffle race. I'm the focus in the back.

I think I would've raged in that lobby if I was that car you hit. :lol:

I tend to steer clear of dirty shuffle lobbies. It's fun to watch, but in my opinion it's unnecessary anger when you're involved.

Jaywalker · Jun 19, 2013

Apart from league & friends lobbies, clean shuffles are the only other online races I do. 👍

kekke2000 · Jun 19, 2013

It's too hard to find a good room. Usually you have to play like half an hour before you start to have fun. Would love a non lobby online mode like GT5P.

Snorevette · Jun 19, 2013

Shuffle races are fun, EXCEPT when you get a classic american muscle car on a track with a long straight. Hope you enjoy going at 130!

Vegard · Jun 19, 2013

90 % of my online racing is shuffle.
I've been to your lobby a few times VBR and a good host really makes all the difference 👍

GT Flaw · Jun 19, 2013

Other than a few club races shufflings all I do online and as others have said a good host makes all the difference.

I usually stick to clean rooms but at the end of a nights racing I sometimes enjoy a dirty shuffle to blow off some steam.

88GTA · Jun 19, 2013

Shuffle races are the only online racing I do besides the organized league I run in. It takes a little while to find a decent room, but it is definitely the way to go.

I had a couple good races yesterday afternoon with PSN:R. Mantooth. I pulled the SL500 Benz twice in a row though and that thing is a boat.

Geopan973 · Jun 20, 2013

I've had the best fun in as long as I have played GT5 during some shuffle races. The only complaint I have is that when somebody gets the Aston Martin Vantage is always doomed to end in an inglorious last place. And I really can't understand why. Truth to be said I have never driven it either online or offline, maybe I should.

GT6: FIA GT3 shuffle, LMP1 shuffle, etc etc

Snorevette · Jun 20, 2013

Or maybe GT6 should have restrictions allowed for shuffle races - upper and lower limits for weight for heavyweight/lightweight shuffle races, FF-only shuffle races...

davelis · Jun 20, 2013

and some more

Shuffle racing hasn't been carried over to GT6, at least not with the game at launch or added in the first update. If you want Shuffle racing back in GT6, please vote in this poll, thanks.

I've only shuffle race one or two times, it wasn't for me because I like driving my tuned cars, but I can sure see the appeal.

I'm shocked at what they done to the online part of the game. I doesn't even use your PSN name in the game. I don't know who anyone is anymore.
