Hopefully PD pissed off enough people with 1.16 to actually bother looking into their broken netcode. It's been garbage since GT5 and completely unplayable for many since the last patch.

And please don't suggest Static IP/DMZ/Port Forwarding/Disabling UPnP/Optimal MTU/Static IP Outside DHCP Server Range/Router Reboot/Fixed Host/Clear Cache/Disable Wifi/Unplug All Other Network Devices/Kaz Voodoo Doll/Upgrade Router Firmware/Google DNS/etc. It helps, but there's no silver bullet to make GT5/6 stable. It's the game, not us.

On the plus side my network stability for every other PSN game is freaking flawless.
 
That is such a minor bug that it would not matter if it is never fixed. The championships are all short and take no more than an hour to complete so there really is no need to save the progress on them in B-Spec simply don't start one if you won't have time to finish it and if by chance you do then it is no big deal just start it again.

Of all the things that should be fixed this should be at the very bottom of the list

Guess you are right, perhaps I am giving this far more importance that what it actually deserves. There are many bigger issues at hand that need fixing, although PD being PD, we might still see the minor bug fixed just because.

Is this train coming or going?
Because if it's coming I don't think it can see where it is going.

Here is what is coming:

#We will receive a Bobette, and if we get Bob to do the right Sim moves (Greet/Chat/Joke/Flirt/Serve Dinner/Use Neckties/Make Whoopie) we will make Baby Bobs that we can then use to ace GT Academy.

#A permanent Seasonal will be available at the Ring where we can alter the PP so we can use various cars.

#B-Spec Champioship bug will be fixed so that if you do not suspend you will receive 10M and your choice of a 20M prize car

#All online problems will be permanently fixed, and trolls will be automatically eliminated via a Smellovision sensor. You will have to purchase the new Smellovision TVs from Sony.

#Sounds will be improved so much that neighbors will visit just to hear you race.

#Camber will be thought-controlled and can be adjusted on the fly.

#Free download of GT6 will be offered if you can prove you are a die-hard Forza fan.

#Three VGTs will be available - all you have to do is start a lap - you do not have to complete the lap.

#The PP of the 2J will be reduced to 365 PP.

#Free Roam will be available at all Kart tracks if you use the Midget.

#You can now spank the monkey at Trial Mountain.

#Jenkins will be back - with more fur.

#There will be no mention of Course Creator.

#The download will take only five minutes during which time Greensleeves will play for your listening enjoyment.

#Passport size photos of Translator-san will be mailed to everybody who doesn't do the download but has the previous download.

There is lots more on this very heavy download (132 GB), but my lips have been sealed by Sony executives under threat of my PSN being blown up, so this is all I can divulge for the moment.

PD needs to make the features that are already in the game available in all game modes (standing starts, mechanical damage, fuel/tire wear, penalties, full balanced grid, one-make races). That's something they could easily implement through an update and would considerably improve offline play.
It's kind of pointless to have cars & tracks when there are no proper races offline.

Thank you! I can't believe nobody ever mentions that. The biggest issue is that offline play for GT6 is boring...more boring than watching paint dry. If Arcade mode just had the features of GT5 (like it should at the least) I'd spend a heck of a lot more time on GT6.

I can swear its actually less insulting than downloading 50+ GB patch for NOTHING BUT REDOWNLOADING THE WHOLE TEXTURE!

Im looking at you Dead Rising 3 and AC: Unity.
 
Spec 2.0 would make sense but I doubt if we ever get that:( But hopefully they can fix some of the damn issues this game been having lately. It seems like ever since update 1.16 the game has been so much slower operating thru the main menu. Especially when you click on community. Also they have still yet to fix the glitch where people can't see everyone in the lobby. So yea they got some stuff to fix. I expect 2 VGT cars and bug fixes. Then release course maker next month. The game needs to work properly before we get any other feature.
