EVO fumbling the career mode was one of the biggest disappointments for me personally in a long time. I was really excited to see a more realistic racing sim mixed with classic Gran Turismo style progression.

Thats why I used „” . It is closest people will get for GT conpetitor.

Unless some studio will see a potential in the free space after FM
 
It really is a shame that a "Gran Turismo 7"-style career mode on PC almost isn't a thing aside from like...FM23 and modded AC.

Cause we know GT ain't ever coming to PC and every other sim offering on PC lacks a career mode. AC Evo was the next closest thing and they said nah lol nvm

1700 pages in this thread. I don't recall any of the others having this much discussion, even GTS had only 1500 pages..

Part of this is just that the game has been under active development way longer than any previous one. GT7 has been getting supported content updates developed for longer than GT Sport's entire active lifecycle, including the lull gap between Sport's content support ending and GT7 coming out.

If GT8 (or whatever the next game is) came out the same amount of time after GT7 that GT7 came out after Sport, it would have come out (actually released, not just announced) in July this year.

Makes sense. But also goes to show that despite the timeline people are still stuck on this game and enjoying it after generations. It's been a decade since Sport was released and to still have the support the GT7 does is really telling.

Even GT7 isn’t fully a thing in GT-Style career mode. It is the closest but far off the games like GT4

It is like nobody want to make a game with full demanding economy.

Is it too asinine to say that GT Sport kinda messed things up for GT and PD in terms of expectations of cars coming into the GT7?

Eh, the shift would have happened regardless of GT Sport's direction I think. The sim racing boom of 2020 forever changed what a segment of the audience wants from racing games.

It's a genre-wide thing, not a GT thing. Every other game/sim that offers variety or historic content sees that variety never actually get played in favour of everyone sticking to your standard MX-5->GT4->GT3->LMP ladder.
 
Just had a look back to the first time update/DLC content was possible for the GT franchise, with GT5.
By my count there were 44 cars total added. 14 were road cars, and 30 were race cars. That's a ratio of over 2:1 leaning to race cars, which is pretty crazy looking back lol.
My ideal balance is the other way around, 2:1 in favour of road cars for updates.

So ironically, I think road car fans haven't had it better than the GT Sport & 7 era, as far as update content priority.

... but race cars throughout the series, I would say, out numbered road cars across the series. Combining real race cars and Racing Modified options from GT-GT7, the race cars would have have to be a pretty high number.
 
Hope this is ok to post but It is to do with GT7 and decals . I can put decals on all the parts of the car but I cannot put it on the cars anymore why is that on ( its hood/bonnet)?. My previous cars still have decals on their hoods/bonnet so i'm confused on what to do . How do I fix this and be able to put more decals on my old cars and new cars ??????? I'm Very CONFUSED . Thanks if anyone can help :)

The day GT7 is moddable, I'm getting in there lol. Obviously, that only happens after the game is offline.

Some cars (particularly recent ones through updates) have the characteristic of including the hood as part of Body 1; usually, that is categorized as part of Body 2. Likely you're dealing with an older model.

Some cars have their roof classified as a hood and their hood would count as a main body part. That could be why. Same how some cars seem to have their license plates' painting area merged with their hood.

ALOT OF IMAGES

Still confused what the issue is - but now I've got added confusion over why you've included a snall portion of the PS5 Home screen at all (never mind twice) and photographed a screen instead of using the inbuilt screenshot function.

If the issue is, as others have suggested it might be, something to do with the various Editing Areas, your images clearly show that the bonnet/hood is Body 2 and that decals applied to Body 1 - a different Editing Area - are not applied to Body 2. This has always been the case, but precisely what comprises Body 1/Body 2 varies from car to car.

You can check all of what falls under your currently selected Editing Area by pushing the right thumbstick in (also shown on the images).

Edit: Like this (and with the Create button):

Blue is where you can add decals under the current Editing Area selection. White is what will not be affected.

i'm not sure this is true, classic classes like GT1, GTE, and LMP are all fairly popular in PMR, AMS2, and iRacing even if they don't have the same numbers as GT3 and Hypercar. and PD usually get a very positive response whenever they put a classic JGTC, DTM, or Group C race in either the weekly challenges or sport mode.

Does a "positive response" equate to actual people racing those combos? Last time I saw the data said the boring old Gr.3 and Gr.4 combos were way more popular pretty much every time.

To start with, have you considered the possibility that Sport mode players were a minority?

Sport Mode players are likely a minority of overall GT players, but wasn't this conversation thread talking about how popular certain car categories are within racing game competitive online ecosystems specifically?
It's like saying "Sport Mode players are the minority of players that engage with Sport Mode."

How popular car categories are in a more general sense, including offline & lobby use, is a broader conversation.

The game that abandoned its entire career and currency structure to try and blatantly appeal to the same kinds of people ruining GT? Yeah I don't expect anything from that game.

Competitive online ecosystem is a small minority of players, which doesn't prevent it from having its own large majority that emphasis towards up to date race cars.
They are also a very vocal community, to an extent that I wouldn't be surprised if they make up for the majority of content creators and suggestions made on social medias. This could lead developers to believe that they represent the majority of players, thereby risking steering game development in their favor when that may not actually be the case. This is probably why the two rounds of survey they did were a good idea, maybe it will even end up by invalidate my point.

As for me, I am a bit exhausted by all the GT3 praise because this category of cars starts to lose my interest in real life. I won't complain if more are added, especially if they come from new manufacturers. But just look at today's motorsports landscape; DTM : GT3, Australian GT : GT3, WEC : GT3, ALMS/IMSA/ELMS : GT3, etc.. It's an overabundance that, personally, gives me indigestion.

Also, another thing is that this category isn't at the end of its history. Therefore it is difficult to tell where were the highlights. Asking for everything to be added asap seems overdone to me.

DTM becoming a GT3 series in particular I feel is a huge shame.
Class 1 cars like the GT500's of Super GT might not have been financially sustainable anymore, but I'd have much preferred if DTM went the route of having shared regulations with the BTCC. In a way that would bring the series closer to its Group A touring car roots, at least compared to GT3 which features supercar shapes.

An example of that I guess is like how over in the Cars Suggestion Forum, the most liked GT3 car is the McLaren MP4-12C, currently 2nd of all the cars not already added.
A highly popular car at the time clearly, but you don't exactly see that many people asking for it these days. Certainly not compared to the latest 720S GT3, which will itself not be as requested whenever the next McLaren GT3 makes its debut, and so on...
It's a never-ending cycle of catch-up to the latest model which a game like Gran Turismo, with its far broader focus on cars and car culture, has no chance of keeping up with compared to something narrow-focused like an ACC or LMU.

Good point about the highlights.
