The only “rule” they really give us in the 2 videos is “don’t make yourself look bad”, if bouncing off a wall to gain time doesn’t make a person look bad, I’m not sure what does. So yes, it does go against the one Sport Mode rule, technically.
Right that’s what I was getting at. It’s deficient.
One way to interpret don’t make yourself look bad is that cheating is okay as long as it looks ok.
Truly, per this game the penalty system is what tells us what’s a rule or what’s allowed.
Everything else is just in our mind an idea of what we think is right, based on whatever.
I liked the original penalty system as it existed at release.
Contact was essentially not allowed.
The racing was clean at 99 sr. When I started this game I was 99 immediately. The lower ranks have always had nothing to do with Motorsport but a lot in common with Mariokart.
The penalty system sets the rules of engagement.
It’s the single most important thing in the game imo because imo it’s the only rules.
What’s messed up is it works so badly it can’t even tell you why you get a penalty and as everyone knows it gets blame wrong all the time.
Where does that leave us?
Sport mode is now WAR.
At least before at release if you kept your 99 you would have almost every race clean. Now if you enter a daily do it on alt and be prepared to get hit by idiots.
Gran Turismo Sport at release held to high ideals of sportsmanship but now it’s no better than Mariokart.
I wish they’d give us guns and missiles too and just admit they’ve completely given up on the ideals they started with.
Standards right now are an all time low.
