Are the collision physics still akin to pinballs?

I enjoyed SuperGT's review. Fair and reasonable.
So yeah, nothing groundbreaking (although there's some potential for the modularity to add new content or the multiplayer modes to become standouts), but it is clearly a step on from FM7 and is good fun to play.
Some people won't find this enough. Others like me will go "hey, controller support is built on FM5's basis and is really nice now, plus no more crappy lift off oversteer" and nothing else really matters.
Had the same problem, then I used the "Gaming Services Repair Tool for PC", can be downloaded here:
And to my surprise, it actually fixed it.

Ok after playing for most of the night, I'm pretty happy so far. Aside from some minor issues, such as the well documented lighting inconsistencies, and the AI taking me out once or twice, it's the most fun I've had in a racer for some time.
I really like the career structure, every series feels very substantial, with decent race length, and of the few cars I've driven, I haven't had many problems levelling them up within the set classes.
What really stands out for me is the competitive nature of the AI, I'm not the fastest driver around, far from it, and I've had a lot of good mid-pack racing so far, I know the GT7 comparison is thrown around a lot but it's certainly a huge difference here, I actually feel like I'm in a race compared to GT's cafe menus.
One small change they've made is to not require gold or podium finishes to "complete" the career, and I'm finding it really refreshing being able to set the difficulty to a level where the AI is doing similar times to me, and just starting mid-pack, also running expert difficulty with no rewind, it's completely gotten rid of the need to cheese my way through the career. Any mistakes I make or bumps from or into AI don't force me to restart or rewind, I just get on with and focus on turning in faster laps each time.
FYI not sure if I've seen this posted yet, but there's an official thread on twitter of known issues

Well I've moved to New Zealand and completed the opening part and the first cup (I chose the Subaru) and by the end of it had earned enough credits to buy the most expensive car in the game. I cannot over estimate how that is better than GT7. I love levelling the cars. It is pure CarPG.

The career menu has 3 main options in a tab at the top: Introduction, Builders Cup and Featured.

They are "stickier" this time. Not really like the "Forza glue" from FM7 really, but there is some impact absorption going on instead of the pinball effect of the early games where it feels like you just transfer all of your energy into them and send them flying.
You will get to experience the collision physics very quickly when you fire the game up because the AI is awful.
Just did a 6 lap race at Lime Rock, still with the AI setting on the highest difficulty. Multiple cars crashed going onto the back "straight" by understeering off into the wall... and not by a little bit, like a full 8 car widths off the track and face-first in the barriers, not even close to making the corner. At least 5 cars pitted as well, and one car I actually put 2 laps down. During a 6 lap, approximately 6 minute long race. Also, for some reason, on the last lap one of the AI was just stopped in the grass next to the track on the exit of turn 1, like they had just pulled up to park because they didn't want to drive anymore.
But hey, instead of finishing 5 seconds behind 1st place and 5 seconds ahead of 3rd, this time I won by a whopping 12 seconds.
Seriously, the AI is so bad that I'm wondering if they didn't screw up the day 1 patch and have reverted us to that preview-copy, early build AI.

A few days ago, I pre-ordered the game for myself on PC since I don't have a series X. I mean, I could play it on my aging Xbox One, but I have a hunch my PC is going to be run it better.

Bench results! For some reason, the framerate locks at 60 despite me having it unlocked in-game. Gonna have to figure out what's going on there. Anyway...
