Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

[Outspacer]

It really isn't though. It's not that the algorithm suddenly fails, suggesting it's doing something it shouldn't, but that the way the algorithm works is prone to producing strange results under certain circumstances and sticking a rank A/S in with a room of rank Ds. That is far more plausible than the number of players entering randomly drops so significantly that it has to put an A/S with D ranks just to fill the rooms and then all of a sudden in the next race it's back to a normal level of players.

Ah, but it is plausible that the number of players dropped below some amount that caused the matchmaking to switch to a different style. Not saying that is what happens, but it has some logic behind it I posted earlier, in another thread about it giving me two different mixes of participants.

It's nothing to do with how many people are online. Strange things happen when you continuously race out of your normal position or quit races. @ASH32 is right as I've recreated this twice in peak hours after my friend brought it up. If it happens, you need to race your normal race to get back in the normal pool, so to speak.

I'm fairly sure your recent success rate changes what you'll get, as well.

I have no proof here but I wonder periodically the game is re-testing your rating position etc just to confirm it is still valid by dropping you into a different pool to see whether underlying performance has changed.

As a comparative/relative based system it would need to reconfirm at times especially when for some reason there is divergence in performance versus expected performance.

Just a thought .......

My livery wont upload

I tried many times over two days and different times and it still fails

I haven't enjoyed racing online in quite a while. Picked up GT Sport last week along with a PS4 Pro, and now I look forward to racing online daily.

It could well be, I think I've been given easy races after runs of poor finishes. But when the last change happened (as an A) I'd just had one or two good finishes (after a few where my DR was going down, but only slightly).

I suppose ideally it should assess you in as wide a variety of situations as possible, but I suspect that would just take far too much tracking. Much easier to simply look at DR history.

Except DR changes are where you finish and where game thinks you should finish. Also it may be a counter to long term sandbagging.

Given FIA races use an ELO system for points I'd not be surprised to see a lot of tracking going on especially as it is server based.

How does one turn of the players' name tag that hovers while racing online?

Ok so I tried to upload this livery again and it failed... so I tried to upload another one from another car and it worked no problem, I go back to uploading this and it fails... does anyone know why?? I’ve asked on twitter to the official accounts and had nothing back

 

[DesertPenguin]

We can't yet. Another thing they got rid of for no reason.

 

[Lunar_Twisted]

Alright, so I finally gold all Circuit Experience and soon I will be playing Sport Mode for the first time.

Anyone else have a glitch with their accident-free race achievement? I keep having clean races (just in the past week I've had a 4 clean race streak and a 2 race streak) but my achievement is stuck on 7 accident-free races.

It too requires a streak — it isn't cumulative.

Fingers crossed for scanning this beast for GTS.

Thanks, I didn't realise that. 👍

Just because there's a Gran Turismo hashtag doesn't necessarily mean that the car will be included in the game...

You should've circled #goodmemories and #15yearsago also

Got my first fastest lap(I think), felt pretty good. Was a Gr.4 race and made a couple mistakes could have got 3rd place. Almost got 1st place in the Atenza One make race. Aiming to get a first place win and improve my DR rating to a B level. Have time to play today but next couple days can't. After that I'm all free will definitely be improving my ranking.

Noticed last few days when starting daily sport races my G29 looses a weight/feedback and seem to loose a bit of grip,its fine when not connected in a lobby.

also seem to be not able to brake as late as others stamping on the pedal hard,looking on my friends and others replays the brake graph goes fully into the red with full abs actuation,mine only goes to half when stamping hard ! but it also reads the same using the controller with full braking,only half in the red.

thoughts appreciated.

I’ve been experiencing the same issue with my g29 in the daily sport races over the last few days.

I’ve been experiencing the same issue with my g29 in the daily sport races over the last few days.

same here, the wheel feels dead when it’s centered, very little feedback until about 5-10% rotation, also had an issue with button mapping being messed up in sport mode leaving me unable to adjust TCS on the fly.

If that's in, Spoon Sports are in.

Hopefully they can sort the problems out,also the throttle pedal has become very sensitive the last half of travel,only happened since the last update,hope its not going to be like GT6 fix one thing and break others.

I think there's a huge likelihood of that happening since Spoon HQ pictures are in scapes. Spoon USA is taking the center drive Civic to Japan so I can see that car getting scanned as well..

Well the mods killed the topic, so discussion is over i guess.

Well anyways, I know of mistakes I made or didn't make. One in the video, my urge to race was killed after that dive-bomb I was contemplating quitting. The red car went wide into sand to avoid that same driver and I didn't cause his accident. As for radar, I set it up but it resets every time I play the game. As for mirror, I don't think there are mirrors for hood view.

 

[sems4arsenal]

The more I play this game (and raise my SR/DR) the more I like this game. If they keep up the steady stream of DLC, this will easily be my favorite Gran Turismo game (might be my favorite racer).

How do I turn the in race music off?

Yes radar resets thats why setting it up is priority 1 after leaving the pit for warm up. Try to remember it untill you do it automaticaly, it can be very useful. And no unfortunately there is no mirror in that view. I strongly suggest using a view that has one as knowing whats going on behind at all times can be as important as what is going on in front. But if you really dont want to at least try to use the radar. I only drive cockpit view myself and because of lack of a virtual mirror i stick to cars that have usable cockpit mirrors, if there werent any id change view, its that important.

On concern of the mistakes, i think they got touched already in the thread. Try to read it again without taking it as a personal attack, there are some good pointers in there. I never said you caused it, only that you also could have done a couple things better to prevent it or at least dont get caught by it.

On concern of contemplating quitting, you know... racing is hard. Turning a fast lap is hard, turning them consistent is even harder. Turning fast laps consistent while battling other drivers without making contact and crash is insanely hard. Even the very best cant always do it, in game and in real life. It takes allot of practice and experience to really get to grips with it and even then you will make mistakes or see races ruined by mistakes of others. But to me that challenge is also the beauty of it, knowing there is always room for improvement. Always looking to gain that little bit of extra time on track, or looking back at replays thinking hmm i could have left more room there or i could have been a little more agressive here. And then, when it all falls in place and youre having a couple of great races with some intense but clean battles, it is one of the best satisfaction there is. When you swap positions multiple times in a 10 lap battle it is the best feeling no matter who ends up in front. Thats why i love it and i would never quit racing. But i cant decide for u ofcourse.

I really need to play this game for my self. I've seen so many people saying they love the game and some saying that they hate it. I've seen so many mixed reactions coming from this game so, I just have to play it. I need to form an opinion of my own.

I also want to play something other than GT6. I've put over 2000 hours into that game and while still very fun, It's starting to get a bit boring. It's the same problem I'm having with all the Call Of Duty games I have for my PS3. I've played all of them to death and now I don't know what to do(It doesn't help that some of the older ones are full of hackers).
