You can choose to grind, and get the expensive vehicles, or you can choose not to grind and not get the expensive vehicles. Having a choice to do it or not doesn't really change that, in my opinion.

All gameplay is by choice unless someone is holding a gun to your head. Restricting access to certain content via a poorly designed game economy is the recipe for grinding, by definition. It is always optional to grind or not that is a moot point.

The problem is, is Polyphony, with the glacial pace they are known for, really going to reveal a fully fledged campaign that is reminiscent of past GT titles in the next, oh, two or so months? Or release one as DLC in 2018?
It's looking pretty obvious that this is the direction they believe GT and the sim genre is destined to head in. It's their perogative, and whether they want to believe it or not, is up to them. But nevertheless, it's driven a wedge into the entire fanbase.
We'd have to presume that they're well aware of this, so it is definitely a very calculated design choice on their part. What baffles me more is, ok, so there isn't an immersive career mode offline like we've become so attached to. Ok, then what is so great about the online alternative they've replaced it with? So far what do we even know about it? The chance to get a FIA license is great for the fraction who could realistically pursue it, but what about all the other millions of fans?
This to me is the big problem with online focused gaming. It just feels like the perfect excuse for developers to skimp on content and creativity because it's gotten to the point that simply giving players a means of competing in any game is all that's required.
It kind of reminds me of a drug habit actually, and I think all these developers and publishers know it. EA, Activision, Ubisoft, XBox Live in general are the biggest purveyors but I'd hate to think Sony's first parties are going to start relying on it as well.
Don't get me wrong, the game still looks like exceptional efforts have been made for what's there, and I've already preordered the limited edition because I know I'll love the gameplay, but I just can see this direction backfiring if they let things get too far removed from what millions of fans have grown so accustomed to. They have to understand this, which is what kinda makes it hard to believe that they'd let things slide that much.

We haven´t seen the real fallout yet.
A lot of people are still waiting to judge, thinking that the driving missions will provide them endless hours of fun. Once people realize it´s a bunch of mini challenges that can be completed in one or two sittings, people will be really mad.

In 2016, I'm really hope when GT Sport was anounced. I'm a really big fan and I spend more than 300 hours on GT6. When I see the report of the game, this don't make me feel bad because I haven't a PS4 in this period. In January 2017, I buy a PS4 to play GT Sport. One week after, Project CARS 2 was anounced, so I begin to think I will buy this 2 games.
I have played the European beta, and the game looks great, but not really innovating. The info from Project CARS 2 and GT Sport are unveils. As and when I see GT Sport does not feature some option that GT6 have (night/day, rain, dynamic hours, career mode, some good track like le mans or spa), but have 1000+ scapes. He also have a big part of non-real car. At this moment I really see that this game is more made for picture taken fanatic.
In a other hands, we have PC2 who have the largest dynamic weather I see (night/day, rain, season) and the live track 3.0 is if it's like they said a big revolution. He also have a good career mode (for the people who don't pay the online pass on ps4), a E-Sport mode, new real track, new real cars (the exclusivity of the McLaren 720S). A upgraded photomode in comparison of the photomode from PC1.
pc2 is perhaps not as beautiful as gt sport but it is sufficiently realistic.
An another thing alert me about GT Sport. During the beta, on time, it have a race on blue moon bay (a fictionnal track). In the top 10, it only have the wrx gr.3. An update is launch during this period and changed some portions of the route. A portion formerly bent is found flat. After this update, we never see the subi on any top 10. To conclude to this sentence, PD is capable to change a ficionnal track just to diversify the ranking, but some cars still underused because they are less good than other. This can't happen in PC2 (like in pc1) because all the cars are equilibrated and don't need the changement of the track.
I can continue a big time with this.
To conclude, in 2016 I could have launch a preorder for GT Sport (I don't make it because I hasn't the Ps4), but since the reveal of the infos, I preorder PC2 and I expect that gt sport price drop.
I still waiting more info about the online mode of gt sport (not sport mode, the free online mode but I do not expect much from him).
as someone said a little higher, Gran turismo Sport is going to sell well because it is gran turismo!
Project cars is still new

I lost so much hope and interest in GT in past year.
I can't remember when was the last time i wanted to start my PS3 and play GT6.
Sure the sounds are great now, and the graphics are incomparable.
But what else do we get?
1.
Some exclusive cars and a made up car classes.
Some of the cars don't make sense either.
Volkswagen Beetle and Mazda 6 in the GT3 class?
Mazda should have taken their RX-Vision concept into the game ffs!!
2.
Online real-time competition events.
And most of the game is oriented around this.
3.
Scapes - truly breath-taking, i'll give them that.
4.
Livery editor. An actual menu to paint and detail your car visually.
Yes, in a GT game.
5.
Damage is only under the hood, so yeah.
6.
No course creator.
7.
PS4 Pro, okay yeah. For those who have an extra mile to pay, AND a TV to handle it. PSVR, "spend a lot, for a demo".
8.
€500 or $600 just to play the game. Standard PS4 1TB D Chassis and the Standard GTS.
N-no, actually f-no. With that pricing i can buy a premium airsoft weapon with upgrades and play as a Pro.

PCars 2 anticipation seems to have dropped off a cliff. It's a week (or so) away from release, yet mainstream coverage seem far less than F1 2017. Which itself came and went with barely a ripple.
I myself have cancelled my pre-order. I like everything I see, although I feel they are over extending themselves with Rallycross and such. The lack of console coverage, even technical specs for each version, has me worried. I don't think it's acceptable for pre-orders to be going live, yet so little to be known about console performance, technical specs, UI etc., which so blighted the first version. I'm also worried the online community will quickly move on once GT Sport releases.
I will undoubtedly pick it up at a later date, but with GT Sport and Assetto Corsa, all the bases are already covered.
