lets not make the game more unrealistic please.They should just ghost cars when they get remotely close to one another and just be done with it.
Problems solved.
If no ghosting, then anyone that punts or forces you off, should be ghosted and slowed down until you've passed them again, and then serve their penalty.
A PSN friend suggested that the other day and I agreed it's a good idea....especially for those times when you get punted into oblivion at biblical speeds, and find yourself in the deepest kitty litter about 3 mile off course, and they saunter off miles ahead of you with a few seconds penalty you'll never catch up with.
The guy was asking for trouble trying to overtake down the mountain. It’s so hard to get an overtake done without making contact and if you can’t get past without making contact then they shouldn’t be trying it. Just like real life you wouldn’t be doing a move like that as it’s too dangerous. It’s frustrating when someone’s made a mistake and you can’t capitalise but that’s racing. The aggressors penalty sounded deserved from your description.These incredible and sometimes totally unjustified penalties also ensure that the drivers are much more aggressive to share. I just had a case like this yesterday in Bathurst. Luckily nothing happened to me, but it could have ended my race.
I started as 2 in my Jaguar, followed by 2 Beetles.
Due to the cold tires being a bit critical, I still tried to withstand the beetles in the curve sectors. I already came a little far out on the uphill section, which allowed driver number 3 to overtake me. lucky for him unlucky for me. I followed this player on the descent, but due to the cold tires I was a bit too fast with less grip, the car started to swerve and I had a lot of trouble catching the car. Apparently the driver behind me touched me slightly, which I didn't even notice. He passed me and got a 4 second penalty. Very annoying for him and NOT justified in my eyes.
Then came the long straight with the penalty zone.. the car was NOT handed over there because his penalty was probably imposed too late. I followed the car in the slipstream. Then about 200 meters after the braking zone, the driver who had unfortunately received this penalty went completely into the "behave asshole" with an emergency brake, I almost hit him in the back, but a few milliseconds before I would have hit him, his car was dead to the spirit whereby I could drive through it. Very lucky for me...the other driver then lost his 4th place on the following lap and left the race. Unfortunately, such actions are provoked by such severe penalties, at least for some drivers.... On the other hand, one cannot assume that he would have driven fairly in the next few laps.
Proper damage and no ghosting would make for some really interesting races. I think they should trial it. You’d have to imagine it would result in more circumspect decision making.I just wanted to point out that damage has done nothing to help the situation.
If there's going to be damage, it needs to catastrophic, as in part flying around. Light damage should get no penalty. Catastrophic damage should get a major penalty.
I don't believe that technology is the reason we still lack massive damage.
Yes, it sucks for the victims, but in time, it will wwed out bad driving. Also, credit reduction for penalties.
Well, yes, that's a separate issue. Sport Mode races are the most challenging in the game, yet pay the least... So wrong.Credit reductions would be pointless as you basically get nothing as it is. Maybe they should start fining people instead!
But you should complain!Yeah the penalty system is bull, for example in GT Sport in the daily B races. A Level A driver bumped my car off the curb and I got a penalty when it was the other driver's fault which was not fair. This discourages me from doing more races in Sport mode. But complaining really doesn't solve anything, just bringing more negative energy in my reality.
Okay well hopefully if we bitch and moan more, that'll drive PD to working/doing the added features that we want to see. They should do something about this penalty system.But you should complain!
If people dont complain, they will leave things as they are.
Remember when gt7 came out and it was hellish grind for credits (and PD even nerfed the rally witch was the best money farming spot at the time) at the same time had way overpriced mtx. People trashed PD negative and review bombed the game. Shortly after PD released high paying races and high paying CE that made the mtx basicly irrelevant.
If people didnt complain, they probably would leave the game as it was on release.
So keep complaining!
Can we please put an end to this yellow flag nonsense?
It serves no practical purpose in a video game race. Nobody's safety is at risk.
That 3 second penalty ruins a race for someone who did nothing to anybody. It's so ridiculous.
Yeah it's a pathetic mess, and the reason I don't bother with Sport mode anymore.So I tried Daily B, got punted twice, bumped multiple times, blatant ugly racing, my DR gets absolutely TANKED.
At this point I'm just laughing anymore and I've already gone past the stage of anger.
Ghosting was a lot more predictable in GT Sport. I don't trust it in GT7. I've already had several experiences like yours.Welcome back to Sport Mode!
First race back in nearly 2 weeks, at Sardegna and I'm tottering along nicely towards the back of the pack. The Frenchman ahead of me is getting a bit squirmy in sector 2 and he loses it at the crested right-left. I expected once his car was at 90 degrees perpendicular to the track, the game would ghost him and let me through safely (nowhere else for me to manoeuvre!) but noooooo I whack into the side of his stationary car instead.... 3 second penalty for you and goodbye fun race vibes.
Are you entering the pitlane correctly? Keep in mind the line starts before the last turn.Watkins Glen 3:00 seconds every time you leave the pit! Glitch !!!!
