It is much much worse than it was in GT5 !
Worst new problem is the rubberband AI, takes every last bit of challenge out of the career mode.
Still ALL races follow the same old dull rules, start almost last with rolling start way behind and catch the leader at front with the best car in way to short time to be real while you have to avoid the other 14 rolling chicanes.
New is also that the body rigidity of your cars is deteriorated after just 500km and wants to be restored for a insane amount of Cr.
New is that there are much less price cars, no expensive race cars at all.
There are a lot of events you have to buy a expensive car for and then its only one race with low reward (1/10th of what the car cost you)
The opponent selection is still horrible, you usually have only one real opponent and the others are just in to fill the grid up and stand in your way while playing catch the leader.
The license tests and missions are very easy to do gold (3rd attempt average, often no problem to be SECONDS under gold time). SRF is again forced on in all those events making it even easier...
Why make it so easy, you don't need gold to make progress in the game.
So why take all the challenge away for all the people that had fun trying to achieve gold in the older GT's ?
I miss the times badly where gold was actually a challenge and you had the feeling you had achieved something not everyone can do if you mastered a license all gold.
So the whole career is not rewarding money wise, not rewarding you with lots of cars, and certainly is not rewarding you with fun, challenge or satisfaction about your driving.
Maybe relief once you brought it behind you ?
And lets better not speak about the first 30min.
U get forced in a car with all aids on before you can configure the controller and the game stops the "race" every 10sec. for a message that tells you how to drive... (As if you could do something wrong with all the aids and race line painted on the track)
.... and when its finally over the game forces you to buy a Fit , and continues with the stupid popups...
WHY ? everything works exactly the same way as it ever did !
Career mode is broken from A to Z (or NB to S
)
