After playing GT6 for a few days, I've really grown to like the new physics and tire models. That's a definite improvement from GT5. Other improvements are the new tracks with the exception of Matterhorn(why this track was wasted time on, I'll never know) as well as that tuning the suspension is closer to what it is irl. I will complement GT6 on having a pretty darn good track selection again because I prefer lots of tracks with a slimmer field of cars than 8 trillion cars with nowhere to drive them. I try to avoid standard models like the plague because I've been able to drive most or something similar to all the standard models since the original GT. I really like the addition of more American muscle cars and the Super GT selection is awesome.

Some dislikes include every single career mode race being a rolling start catch the rabbit in first. I can describe every single career mode race like this: Race starts, you are already ahead of the first car either on the front stretch or right after T1 pending on the track. In a 3 lap race, you're in 3rd place after a lap to a lap and a half. Then you reel in 1st and 2nd who all the sudden drive really slow to let you catch then speed up once you've passed them and it ends up being a close finish with the top 3 lightyears ahead of the pack. Gets old after the 100th time...

Kinda underwhelmed about the GT3 cars. Also, I'd love to see more prototypes. Sure the Audi is cool, but what about the LMP2, DP, LMPC, and more premium Group C cars.

Also, the Field of View (FOV) is way off in some cars. I feel like I'm driving from the backseat in some cars like the Mustang Boss 302. The clutch is still miserable which I didn't expect to be fixed anyway.

Overall, GT6 has been a vast improvement over GT5 in terms of enjoying career mode because although the AI is predictable, it's way better than the ducks in a line that the GT5 AI is. Time change is awesome where it's available. I haven't been in online race mode enough to know if the connectivity issues have been resolved or not.

Feel free to add any positive/negative points :cheers:
