See it's posts like these that make it tough for me to jump at buying this game if offline is terrible I don't care for online. I'm a person who likes the single player experience because for me online is the next step once you think you've got the skills to challenge people.
There are hundreds of fixes and I would be disappointed if every single one wasn't fixed.
So guess what, I'M DISAPPOINTED!
GT5 can be fun, I just can't take it seriously like I can with FM3. It feels like there's a purpose in FM at least... with GT5 it's just a couple races that you can abuse to get money and collect vehicles, maybe race some online too.
FM3 feels like you race to buy more cars to race with, and then you can customize your ride and sell it and do all kinds of stuff in half the time it took GT5 to come out with their "beta" of a game.
It just miffs me how PD could drop the ball with this game so bad.
Like I said though, I still have fun playing GT5, it just has NO competition for Forza on the way of quality of gameplay.
I was a long time forza player since the start of FM2, FM2 was a great game but when FM3 came out it went down hill in my opinion. I am the competitive type who likes to compete on the leaderboards, but to be competitive you get the choice of less than 10 cars to be competitive and go after those top ten times. Now for people who like to play a game how I like to play it and compete with others all over the world, 10 cars out of a near 500 to choose from is a disgrace, the P.I system is terrible.
In order to be competitive in race lobbies you may as well throw all RWD and FWD cars in the garbage, as AWD dominates this game because of the terribly flawed AWD swap conversion.
This is in my opinion the 2 main problems with this game which makes it a terrible failure, and don't hold much hope for FM4. The P.I system needs to be completely revamped and they need to get rid of the AWD swap because these issues killed the game.

I have absolutely no problems with taking a RWD vehicle in and spanking some AWD cars. AWD has its flaws and if you know how to tune a setup, RWD is just simply the way to go.
Somewhat back on topic, not that I think it'll be more than a glitch fix update, but when is it dropping anyone know yet?

I want to have high hopes for this update... leader boards, new tracks (the ones found on their servers last month), new premium cars & standards upgraded to premium... I want those things so so badly... but i can't believe they will happen.
I'm not getting my hopes up. A big update like that would be advertised prior to it's release... and the truth is, it's barely been mentioned.
Though, i am glad an update (whatever it may be) is on the horizon.
@ Jay
See listening to others here and people elsewhere it's been a fact that the offline portion of this game is a waste of time.

I'm approaching this update with the same approach you take when your girlfriend calls you and says "I'm coming over, we need to talk."
when it comes to a racing sim's quality of gameplay, usually it refers to the handling (physics) of the vehicles. Gt5 is the king of console racers (in terms of physics) it even sometimes compete with pc sim's, which is something that i wouldn't have thought of 9 years ago. Forza 3 was a fun game but the physics were sub-par, and looking at the footage of forza 4 it probably would't change anytime soon.
I play single player 90% of the time and love it, even just doing hotlaps in a car with 24hr time cycle (sped up though) and weather on Nordschleife on my own is heavenly.
Remember Gran Turismo has always until now (full GT release) been a single player game, GT5 is the same with Multiplayer added to the experience.
There are some strongpoints in GT5s physics and there are also some SUPER weak areas. Also, the damage model is crap and how your car reacts under damage is a very sorry excuse for "damage" if you ask me.
To me, damage is a big part of being a simulation, you pay for your mistakes and it helps you become better. GT wants you to be able to rocket off of walls and keep going no problem and it just takes away from the realism.
Wrong thread Digitool. It should be obvious.

You guys crack me up! The update isn't even out, nor are there any details on it, and there are complaints about it. I will just wait and see what it brings. After all, no one is forcing me to play this game, and if there are better ones out there then I have no issues moving on. But so far I am very happy with the game.
Zuku, be wary of the complaints about the game that you read on the internet. Remember how many copies have been sold, and try to relate it to the number of complaints. I for one am very happy with GT5. For on-line, all I do is the seasonal events and the on-line car dealership, I do not do the on-line multilayer racing aspect. So I find the off-line part to be just fine.

translation: "Now, after a long time online updates to GT5. 24 hours after. I also hold special events online."
I want to be excited for this but for some reason I can't. Hell, I haven't touched GT5 in like a month and a half.

Don't hate to be the party pooper here, but am I the only one that is reading Kaz' tweet as: "today there will be a server update and a new special seasonal event"?
