First, IMO I want to clarify that I have grind gt5 alot which is A-spec: lv 26, B-spec: lv 15

And this thread is only for those who are having troubles grinding money or getting bored of playing the same race (especially the endurance).

For others who are furious about this, you can only hope that PD release a new patch which is 1.06 to fix this up asap

I'm lvl 26 and haven't done the same event twice yet. Did you try the seasonal events? They give plenty XP and credits

erm yeah, i golded quite a few events and some silver in the seasonal events section.

But maybe im just a little bit greedy because i would spend a lot of money on rare/exotic cars and this glitch has eased my pain :sly:

:)
 
It always seems to be the youths who are in a rush to get there hands on all the fast cars !
I prefer to earn mine the way the game is supposed to be played by playing competing and enjoying the game but i have to say "If you are going to cheat do it right !!! First upgrade and tune the car ,oil change, engine rebuild and body repair ,paint and change wheels .. RM if you can etc ,any cars you send other wise you will spend from your main account !!

As i state youths in a rush doing half a job of duping cars just like they appear to be doing half a job of completing GT5 the glitch free way. Just because a glitch is there doesn't mean you have to use it but if you do then for your own sake use it to it's FULL !

HAHAHAHA that is what I tested today and worked great!
Saved a lot of hard earned cash btw :dopey:

Alright i added this tune-up extra in the 1st post. Enjoy XD
 
Cheating on your taxes is a federal crime. I don't cheat on my taxes, are you suggesting i have a vagina because I follow the tax laws?

No, I'm suggesting you might have a vagina (your words, not mine!) because you are bitching about something that doesn't impact you in the slightest!

And, if you aren't a complete moron, you at the very least avail yourself of every single loophole the tax laws allow, and each and every deduction you can possibly get away with. This ISN'T 'cheating'. It is just one more loophole. Bet you don't cut chicanes or contact the AI in any way, shape or form, either...:rolleyes:

All this is is envy and spite, in equal measure. For something that impacts you in no way whatsoever. And I believe those sins are not gender specific in any way!
 
I'd rather grind.

I saw a post with elastic bands wrapped around both sticks on the DS3 so you could grind Indy while doing other things. You could do this 50 times to get the 6 million back that you just spent for a LMP car or you could just delete the save after buying the car and sending it to your second account. I don't think one method is superior to another. Neither one is real driving and neither one increases skill. Even if you sit there and hold the sticks while grinding or the wheel or whatever, how are you actually playing the game.

I hate grinding and refuse to do it. In GT5P I did it at the end to get the F1 2007. For the life of me I never could figure out why they just didn't give you the car at that point. Why make a player go back and play the same races over. Once I got the car I enjoyed it, but my time is very precious and I wasted 2 hours doing something that I didn't really enjoy. No car is worth me wasting 2 hours driving in circles. I'm still going to do all the races, but unless needed for XP, I'll only gold them as many times as is fun.

My comment was meant to be delivered with a light hearted sarcastic tone! Sorry if it didn't come across that way!

For the record, I don't have a vagina and I'm not complaining in the slightest!! I'm actually completely indifferent on the whole topic! But i do believe people who are opposed to this loop hole do have the right to express their dislike. And the argument that it doesn not impact them so they shouldn't care is somewhat narrow minded.

Everyone has opinions on many things that don't have an immediate, direct impact on their everyday life. You don't have to agree with their opinion, but that doesn't mean they don't have a right to it.
 
This thread is great! Although, when I first saw it I cringed. :lol:
A month of trying hard is good enough I guess.
 
it sure seems some people spend more time looking for holes in the system and duplicating cars than actually playing the game.
 
Duping = one free car per day. Once you get your credits up to around 14,000,000 you can buy just about any car, send it to a sub acct, and reload the game save so you don't actually have to spend the money for the car. Then you just send it back to yourself, but before you do go ahead and back up the sub acct save and you now have two of the car you just purchased.

FTW.
 
Why does everyone have such an issue with this kind of stuff? I have yet to try it, but see no issue with it. It's not real money, not real cars, and it gives no one an unfair advantage over anyone. It's not like people lag switching in Black Ops that F's up everyone else' good time. And, I honestly hope they don't prevent backing up your files to fix this considering the MANY reports of people losing their games over stupid things like power outages. I have a friend who had this happen to them and they pretty much haven't picked up GT5 since. Why not just make it easier to earn money? Or at the very least make it so I can sell the dozen $1,000,000+ cars I have in my garage that I don't want that were event rewards. What is so awful about people paying $60 for a game and then being able to drive their dream cars without having to spend 2 straight weeks trying to earn the sufficient funds to do so. I still haven't gotten many of the cars I want because of this, but have VW Lupo's flowing from the ears. Good game, but some faults need to be addressed. The million credit reward for seasonal events is a good step, but they should let you redo them for at least the first place reward again.

This, which I really don't get. I bought the game to play it, not to shorten it's lifespan by cheating (yes, it IS cheating, not that it matters) to get cars you'd have to play to get.

Still, I suppose everyone is entitled to do what they want with their game as they paid for it, but they could at least recognise that yes, it's cheating, and yes, it does effect other players; this sort of thing (duplicating and the Birthday thing) killed the marketplace for me, though it could be argued that PD never intended it to turn into a marketplace anyway (hence the one car a day limit) so whatever, I guess it was nice while it sort of lasted.
 
GT5 has some of the most outrageous time commitments I have ever seen in a game to accomplish and acquire some of the things you'd want. That's why I don't have a bit of a problem with people acquiring cars easier. Otherwise, if you play the game on a limited time budget you basically have to pick the one thing you really want and forget about the rest.



I don't think casual gamers should have to do that, and I also think it's obnoxious to have to basically leave your PS3 on for days otherwise to grind out the credits in B-Spec if you don't have the time to actually sit down and race for them in A-Spec.



Honestly, exploiting the car duplication is no different than exploiting B-Spec races with vastly overpowered cars. YOU START A RACE AND GO DO SOMETHING ELSE. How is that "earning" credits and cars opposed to duplicating them? What, your energy bill went up? You pushed start? Real validity there, let me tell you (sarcasm?).

I dont remember a GT game ever being a 'casual racer'. You never played GT before?
 
ThE-1cY I dont like you to say from my heart! I don't like any of you who posts this or use this glich!you shouldnt play GT instead buy xbox and troll around the web! good luck with that! you spoil a lot of fun for a lot of good guys! PS you have to be from USA! just have to!👎👎👎 I hope this thread will be deleted!
People duplicating cars so they can play GT5 like a sim rather than grinding to earn credits doesn't affect anyone elses game.

Personally I would like PD to make all content accessible without trophies.

NOTE: ONLY ONE CAR A DAY!

PER ACCOUNT

I'm certainly getting more than one car per day on my main profile.

Still need the X1? You deserve one for putting this up.

It's not cheating. Cheating implies unfair advantage, yet there is none. As for playing, it's obvious who doesn't "cheat" when lines like that are made. It's the exploiters who are probably getting the most from the game. I know that I was certainly able to put more time into it once I turned my PS3 into a car/credit generating machine. The longevity of the game shot way way up once I was able to concentrate on actually driving.
 
It seems that PD was right to have uncopyable protected save files afterall
If I lost my GT5 save after putting in weeks of effort I would never touch the game again.

GT5 is meant to be a sim, the earning credits nonsense harks back to arcade racers, there should be an option to bypass this and have access to all content.

And what will he do once he has an X1? Put the game away to gather dust as he has basically cheated his way through the game and has gained no experience or skill to drive the thing?

What makes you think just because you have the X1, the game is basically over and there is no point in playing it anymore?
 
Whats the obsession with getting an X1 so quick then?

I guess because it's the fastest car in the game.

But I know when I finally do get mine, I won't stop playing. There are plenty of cars I'd rather drive than an overkill car like the X1.

Maybe he'll drive it and get good at driving it.

Come to think of it, that makes much more sense than waiting until you've grinded to level 30 and then get put in the car and someone says, go beat a F1 driver in 2 laps!

I went through that, and I'd like to make it so that no one else has to.


BTW, do you want to know what resulted from my "cheating"?

Before:
Grind Indy

After:
Go online, go to track days and set up cars, have great races and save the replays. Have access to nearly any car and anytime. Buying the 100,000 credits worth of tires and who knows how many credits worth of upgrades for each car so that I can always be competitive no matter what the rules are for online races became much easier.

Basically, the game started to get fun.
 
Whats the obsession with getting an X1 so quick then?

Because we don't all have the time it actually takes to earn it in the game. People who own the game want to drive whatever car that they want to drive. If you're going to use the 'driving sim' defense of GT5 then it's absurd that we're locked out of anything to begin with. A simulator is made to simulate (obvious I know) and not to follow the standard "earn X with Y points to prolong the experience of the game itself" structure that games use.

From the point of view that GT5 is a game, wanting to drive the fastest cars is absolutely no different from using the warp whistle in Super Mario Bros. 3 because you want to get to world 8 or using the Konami code for 99 lives in Contra because you actually want to see what level 3 looks like. Complaining that somebody who isn't you didn't "earn" their way to the boss fight against Bowser is equally as childish as complaining about somebody wanting to drive a duped X-2010.

OF COURSE people want to drive the fast car. When you're able to drive the fastest cars in a racing game that's when the game really begins. If it were real life and you just made it to the F-1 circuit would you quit because your mission was over or would you drive and enjoy it? The answer to that is the answer to your ridiculous question.

Why can't people just respect the OP and either use his information like I'm going to and thank him (THANKS) or just go play the game and stop complaining and whining about how somebody else wants to use the video game they bought?

If you want to turn it into a pointless ego contest it's not about who's driving what in the first place but about who's driving fastest. If somebody can drive a lap faster than your 'real' X-1 in a 'duped' one, then that's what matters. Having 40 or 50 hours in your life that you can afford to spend driving virtual Fiats and Clubman Special cups and etc... really doesn't prove anything to anyone, anyway.
 
This post is not directed at you but wanted to get in before it starts.
I belive the OP started this thread to explain the how to of duplicating. Not to open up another endless back and forth thread about cheating like every other thread put on here about this kind of thing. Please stick to the OP's thread title because you have other options of example. Post in one of the other derailed threads or even start your own titled "All Glitchers must die and go to hell because they are destroying my gaming experiance". Just a thought thanks.

Ding ding! I've had a small cleanup going through just 5 pages so far. I'm not sure why the exploit induces such rage in some users, but it won't be tolerated here. If anybody has a problem with how others play their game, that is perfectly acceptable; name-calling isn't.

Rather than get incoherent about the exploit, why not reserve your indignation to the CAUSE of the exploit? Unending, boring grinding, simply to overcome asinine game features like NOT being able to downtune a car you have upgraded (dropped since GT5p) to allow you to prepare a car for an online race easily and quickly. Or an XP system that has NO path to leveling up, and the cars that doing so provides, without grinding. And by grinding, I mean any repetition AT ALL - there's simply no excuse for it in a game with so many tracks and cars.

LET the 'cheaters' sell their souls... it doesn't affect you. Unless you are one of the 'snitches' that likes to report his neighbor cheating on his taxes because you don't have the balls to do it yourself..! If they want to shortchange themselves of the game, why do YOU care? It's not like you were stupid enough to PAY for a car trade, were you?:rolleyes:

"Sell their souls" seems a bit rich. I've duplicated a handful of cars so far; ones I bought myself, that I sent to friends. Did they "earn" the cars with their own credits? Nope. Do I care? Nope. We now can all race with similar cars if we want. I just made our races more fun, our choices more numerous.

And agreed about the grinding, even if I have only done it very little in game. I re-did the American Indy race a handful of times because I had no FGT; I then did the last level of the AMG school and it took me clear into Endurance territory. I'm now at Level 33 in A-Spec after only doing the GV300 once, and no other endurances.

trust me, you dont want me to explain it. lets just say its the same as in MW2 using Noob tube in S&D at the beginning of a round, sure you can use it, its a weapon, but how anoying is it when you get hit by it! Dont like any of it, i just dont like "the easy way" when we have to work HARD, while others can drink beer and cruise between profiles pressing buttons.. then when they play online they didnt even learn something and smash you so you spin out, with a car he didn't deserve.

That's a huge assumption that people with duplicated cars can't drive and will ram you. By that same logic, all people who don't duplicate are faultless drivers?

GT5 has some of the most outrageous time commitments I have ever seen in a game to accomplish and acquire some of the things you'd want. That's why I don't have a bit of a problem with people acquiring cars easier. Otherwise, if you play the game on a limited time budget you basically have to pick the one thing you really want and forget about the rest.

Indeed. I'd have less of an issue with it if we had the money-making options we enjoyed in GT4. Instead, we have very few good ones (the best are all one-shot, like the Seasonals), yet we have cars that cost 5 times what the most expensive ones did in GT4. This leads to a lot of repetitive grinding if you want more than a handful of pricier cars.

I don't think casual gamers should have to do that, and I also think it's obnoxious to have to basically leave your PS3 on for days otherwise to grind out the credits in B-Spec if you don't have the time to actually sit down and race for them in A-Spec.

This too... the removal of the 3x time multiplier from GT4 causes a lot of problems :(.

Honestly, exploiting the car duplication is no different than exploiting B-Spec races with vastly overpowered cars. YOU START A RACE AND GO DO SOMETHING ELSE. How is that "earning" credits and cars opposed to duplicating them? What, your energy bill went up? You pushed start? Real validity there, let me tell you (sarcasm?).

This. Watching the marketplace (or the threads similar to this one), there's always users complaining about others not "earning" their X1's, when they have received one for hitting Level 35. Having something given to you simply for the amount of time invested in having your computer player do races for you is very, very similar. This also ties into my confusion about the Marketplace in general; rare finds from the used lots are one thing, but B-Spec prize cars are available to us all with minimal effort.

And what will he do once he has an X1? Put the game away to gather dust as he has basically cheated his way through the game and has gained no experience or skill to drive the thing?

Can someone please explain to me the logic behind this? I've yet to find any.
 
I guess I should add what I'm doing. To get over a dozen cars a day on your main account, you'll need to set up multiple PSN's on your PS3 (or other PS3's). These new accounts all start a new game, level 0. I used my old birthday exploit PSN's.

1. From your main account, buy a 1970 Challenger and race transmission
OR buy a 2009 GT-R Spec V and tune it to the limit of what's allowed by the GT-R seasonal event.

2. Send the to one of the alt accounts and win the Challenger/GT-R seasonal event (warning, this ends sometime in January I think)

3. Once you've won one of them, buy the other car and win the other seasonal.

4. The account is now level 18 with 1,500,000+ cr.

5. Go to special events, win the go kart races (you will have a go kart), and the Gold all the NASCAR events.

6. Get a free NASCAR from getting all gold

7. Win the NASCAR seasonal event

8. Level ~ 20, with 2.5 million cr

9. Send the Challenger/GT-R to the next alt account, and repeat.

While this take a while to set up, once it is done, you will be completely self sufficient in the game. It's the best way to play if you're not into the credit earning thing.
 
So, we complain that we can't back up game data on the basis that if we lose our game save, we lose everything. PD puts out a patch to fix this issue. And, this is how we thank them?

Then again, who gives a crap. What is PD losing? Nothing. I paid $60 for this game, who cares if I figure out how to dupe a car? What difference does it make in the world? None.


There. I argued for both sides. I took no official stance. I am ready to run for public office.
 
Why is this thread not deleted? This is exactly why they had save file protection. I wish they would have kept it, I hate cheating more than starting over, this cheapens almost everything about the game and working hard.

You guys all make me sick, "Oh, we don't want game save deleted so we can cheat, we just want to be able to back up our save file in case something horrible happens".

Now threads are up all over the world, including on GTP where we should have better etiquette.

The legit vs cheaters debate is old as old is gaming, i remember seen this kind of post in every forum since internet started to gain my attention more than 10 years ago.

A bit of common sense and the understanding of the true meaning of the word game should be enough to chill out the rage and to understand that, this animosity, is better to be used where certain things really matters.
