I'll never know why some folks can't just admit when something is wrong. I love loads of things but i can do a list of things I don't like about the things I love as well (you should see the list about my wife!).
AC I'm sure is going to be nothing short of stunning, but I can say that in my opinion the lack of custom championships is annoying and countless games have had custom championships and I will always be skeptical this generation that its left out due to the old inevitable sequel....
Here's a list of things I think are "wrong" with AC:
No 24 hour time cycle
No rain
No functional flag system
No parade laps
No cool down lap
No safety car
No driver swaps
Lame physical damage model
No random mechanical failures
No grid options (manually setting the grid, reverse grid, etc.)
No rolling start
Can't choose your livery online in Pick-Up mode
Can't save a replay from inside the server
Can't change the track or race settings from inside the server
Probably a lot more than that but that's what I could come up with off the top of my head. I wouldn't even say I love AC, but for some reason I always go to it over the likes of rF2, AMS, R3E, and iRacing.
About custom championships, for a while Stefano said it wouldn't happen but people kept asking and asking so he finally decided to try to tackle it and apparently has had some luck. He seemed fairly confident it would be included in the not-too-distant future but he just started working on it recently so it may take a month or two to iron out the bugs, and he's probably going to have his hands full squishing console bugs for the next couple months. Remember, one guy does all the coding so things don't always happen as fast as we'd like them to, but good things come to those who wait.
Here i have to disagree mate..
In GT6 from day one, once you get the minimum level in offline career the online mode was unlocked and You could make public and private lobby's since the first day.
The triple monitor, online community and quick online race yes did come after launch in a update.
Sure AC on console will have private online lobbies in certain moment, but that is something that should be in the game from launch..
Thanks for the clarification, it's been a while so I didn't remember the details but I knew some features weren't available at launch so the point remains valid. The Clubs feature took almost a year to get added, the course maker took nearly two years, and the GPS app that would allow you to drive/make your own course never happened (that I know of). So, yeah, it sucked (and I was probably a vocal complainer) but everything worked out eventually.
I agree, ideally private lobbies should be included at launch and I'm sure if they could have made it work to their liking it would have been included. After the PCars fiasco they're probably being very cautious, they'd probably receive much more flack for releasing a broken feature than delaying a working feature, but they're going to get flack either way.
