B-Spec in GT7?

[MoLiEG]

Nope, and I hope it never returns.

It could and should be implemented right away, but comercially speaking i can se why they would hold it back and integrate it with Sophy for GT8.

Isnt this just Ai vs Ai

Albeit one Ai you can "control" vs all other Sophy Ai ?

Maybe for grinding I would be ok...

We'll see with the next 2 big updates whether it'll be coming or not

Still, they could implement:

1- A grid with mixed leves of Sophy and limited PP, in such a way that your "Bob" would never have an unfair advantage.
2- Endurance races like in GT4 where you can give the wheel to Sophy, resting and giving orders during three stints then going back to the car.

a possible return within a few weeks/months??

 

[timekiller001]

I don't think so. GT7 will be their test system to maybe implement it for GT8.

I hope so it will come, I loved it in GT5.

I just loved the B-Spec aspect in GT5. I worked 24u shifts at the time. It was just perfect. Just before i left for work, i put on a race with my bob and when my shift was over and i got home, my driver finished the race in first place and i got a bunch of credits and especially back then, grinded points towards reaching level 40 (or was it 50?) for B-Spec.

You know, the AI and how your driver race against that AI is just not the problem. PD took a decision with GT7 to implement MTX (worst decision ever) and i just don't see it how they would implement B-Spec in the game with the right balance of earning credits with B-Spec. I don't know: do you see your bob racing at 30' Le Mans for the same amount of credits? Maybe some people, but personally i would rather race a 30' minute race myself.
Then there is the fact that currently there are no real endurance races in the game. Now, "if" B-Spec would come to the game does that mean that they will implement it with the addition of endurance races at the same time? Now how would that work? A 3.0 Spec update? Or will they add endurance races before B-Spec? A normal update gives us 3-5 new races. To use B-Spec at it's full potential i feel like we would need alot of different endurance races. Aka: 2/4/8/9/12/24 hour races. And then once again the question: what about the credits earning for such races? Maybe they make the decision that with those races you can only earn credits once? What absolutely would destroy the purpose of a having a B-Spec mode in my opinion.
Apart for the content update model, no endurance races in GT7 is my biggest frustration. We have such a fantastic game with variable weather, many cars to race but apart from custom races no option to play pre-set endurance races. And the 1 hour "endurance" races were a very nice addition and some of those races are challenging, but personally only able to earn credits once made me never touch those races again.

So B-Spec mode, yes please! But hopefully implemented with the right choices from PD in favor of the players.

In GT5 the B-Spec campaign is a copy of A-Spec with double the laps.
They could make a campaign plus endurance missions.

A nice addition would be weekly challenges with mandatory pit stop and rotation between the player and Sophy.

Yes, weekly endurance races would be very nice!
