I guess you really can't admit to liking this game anymore, maybe we should call gtplanet "The Number 1 Anti-Gran Turismo" site

Admit? Those who frequently come here disliking GT7 would be the minority, but that doesn’t mean the majority cannot question someone who randomly bursts out saying the game is “terrific” without further explanation.

People never hesitate to demand constructive feedback when someone criticizes the game. Meanwhile, asking for elaboration as to why the game deserves endless praise instead gets taken as intolerance toward favourable opinions? I think you might just be overly sensitive to the concept of discussion.

I watched an AI Mustang Gr4 make a mistake the other night and go off into the gravel at Maggiore. I ran the race again after that and it did not do the same thing.
Yet on the classics Alsace (spelling?) race, I had an AI Ferrari dino bin it into the wall on the first corner of the first lap every time I restarted that race. Some races are cookie cutter and then some other races are not. My custom races seem to be different every other time. Baffles me.

It does depend how many times a player races the same race. With the WTC 700 at the Nurb24, the Vantage gets overtaken by T2. The C7 moves over for me at T4. The 458 is slow between T4&5. Then, depending how the programming feels about my progress, a yellow flag will try to slow me down with the blue Huracan getting trapped in the sand between T6&7. If no yellow flag, I dispatch the orange RC F by T8. From there, before entry to the Nord, the Cayman anticipates me passing, but “drives in its mirrors” and is indecisive what side to let me pass - it’ll swerve left or right just before I pass.

As we all tackle the Nordschliefe, the blue Viper tries to fight, but gives up, a pack of cars swarm to try and make it difficult for me to gain time on the leaders. After I dispatch those, I’m left with the NSX, Atenza, 4C and Supra, about 10 seconds ahead. Pass them all by the bottom of the circuit and pass the Supra at the beginning on the way up. Again, if a yellow flag, I’ll pass the Supra by the Karrussell.

Some of the scenario programming change, depending if I use the Gr.4 Supra or the Ultra fast Alfa 155. Which, I guess, is all about timing.

The AI seems to be kinda incapable of driving certain cars very well. I've noticed that whenever an Alfa MiTo shows up in a race it's inevitably going into corners too hot, understeering and then shooting across half the track to try and get back on the line, usually bashing into everything and anything around it. I've definitely seen Gr4. Mustangs turn into crowd-seeking missiles on multiple occasions too, again usually after overcooking it into a corner.

I dunno if it's something to do with the stock setups of the cars, or if it's just the AI getting bamboozled by the way its ABS goes kinda bonkers under really hard braking.

From my somewhat limited experiences, restarting pretty much anything seems to give you the same circumstances right down to the wind speed and direction every time, however exiting and re-entering is where things tend to differ a little bit more.
 
and GT7's logic on used cars and legendary cars continues to confuse me. The Alpine A110 shows up as a used car, but the Renault R8 Gordini appears in the legendary dealership.

Oh and 3 Group C race cars are available now, the Jaguar XJR-9, Mazda 787B, and Nissan R92CP. Yup, I'm forgetting about the 250 GTO and going for those. I already have a Sauber C9, now get its rivals.
 
For the Civic currently in the used car dealership the liveries you made for it in GT Sport can't be applied to it. Yet another PD Logic.
 
Because the one currently in the UCD is the '97 model. It was the '98 model, also in GT7 and won from a menu book, that was in GT Sport.
Oh, I was wondering why it seemed like I already had that car even though it was marked that I didn't. I'm not experienced enough to know the differences between the '97 and '98 model in real life, but I know that the '98 rolled over easy with a tune in GT Sport. I guess since I already have both in 7 I will test to see if either roll now.
 
Doing the St Croix circuit experience with the Bugatti and then jumping straight into the Dragon Trail Seaside circuit experience with the Gr3 Jaguar was a bad idea.
 
While I agree with you but some of the races are tough man and it’s not that hard to see all you gotta do is read around the forums.. people having trouble with many races in GT7… I think they had to make some races where it’s just not hard… also do you normally use the same class cars or you just getting over powers cars? I know I’ve gotten beating when using same class or weaker cars in the races. This was never the case for GTS. If they made all the races to the difficulty like getting golds on CE or License test people would be crying a River…
I do feel some GR3 races in license tests or missions, the AI cars are quite speedy. But as always they brake a little earlier which is why I always gain time on them in the braking sections.

Even the dirt races where there is 1 AI only, that car has speed as much as I have but better grip. Those dirt races are not as straightforward. But it makes it fun & challenging.
 
I've collected 404 of 424 cars. When I complete that personal mission, I will be focused on other aspects of the game, including sport mode. But I'm still waiting for more Home / Garage updates, including engine revving. And of course opening car doors / hoods / trunks. My cell phone F2P game (CSR2) has this feature, yet the mighty GT7 doesn't?

Don't expect any of that.
 
After trying a couple of WTC races now I think I’ve concluded that these are the worst balanced ones in the entire game. It’s a complete lottery what kind of race you will end up with and you won’t know if your car is good enough until you’ve wasted like 7 laps. One race you take the lead within 5 laps and the next you can barely even catch up to the top 3 cars.

Ugh, I really hate these races. I’ve put the difficulty on easy now just to get rid of them asap.
 
Was watching a video of someone driving the XJR9 in GT7 and noticed the display that shows temps shows the atmospheric temperature actually changing throughout the race
I vaguely remember seeing a pre release trailer showing something similair,ive fished through my old trailer GT7 vids but cant find it.Maybe it caused issues in the game so they didnt bother with it in the end?
 
Hello everyone.
Stefan from Germany here. I‘m a huge GranTurismo fan since the begining of the Series.
Also member of GT Academy 2012 in Silverstone managed 6th place and had a lot of fun with Nick Heidfeld, Sabine Schmitz(RIP😢) and Smudo.

So is there any GT7 Video Thread here in this forum. After 10 years i‘m back and i love this game.

Today was special:

My first few attempts at licence S8 were pretty disastrous after doing S7.
That’s one of my biggest challenges is hoping from one car to another and trying to be effective lol.. once I do a couple of attempts then I’m good.
