Roulette car invitation system needs to be changed

Since they introduced the engine buy thing for me the wheel of misfortune has completely gone useless.
I have all cars for quite a while, but i do keep getting invitations, most of them are for lamborghini,
so there are times i have to check that the roulette tickets don't expire cause i just don't look at them, but for now i have collected them all lol..., clean sheet, maby the invites stop now :lol:
 
I do not own all cars. And not really a goal. I have maybe 190 cars.
There is one car though, in the cafe car collection system, that is needed to complete that collection of three cars. So I would like to get the invitation, so I can purchase that one car.
I played every day in 2023 , it is now 12 September, to get one ticket per day, to turn in one per day,
to see if one of the roulette choices was an invitation at all, and second to see if the invitation
was selected to give me the opportunity to purchase the invitation only car.
So far, all of 2023, one invitation appeared on the wheel, and that one was not selected.

At this moment I am collecting Roulette tickets , but not going in and using them.
When I have gathered a good size sample amount of unexpired Roulette tickets I will go in,
count them all, then start collecting prizes, counting how many tickets (of each by number of stars),
and how many of those produce any kind of invitation, then how many invitations are actually selected
so I can purchase that special invitation only vehicle.

The experiment should give the odds in this game of the two factors, how many times do invitations
even show up, how many times are they awarded/chosen.
And based on my 2023 experience I have very very low expectations, and great disappointment
over this whole thing.

But let's see. All I seeking is one stupid car, for one stupid cafe collection, for one less
than meaningful prize.

I do enjoy driving in this game though and recommend it to all my friends.
 
I think the invitation system is tied in with the UCD and LCD car rotation. Next to last time the Cobra Daytona Coupe showed up I got three Ferrari invites. I bought it and a bunch of Ferraris only to miss out on the McLaren F1 road car and 3 more stupidly expensive Hagerty rides. This time around the Cobra Daytona Coupe showed up and I got a Lamborghini invite. Also the 911 Strassenversion started changing colors, again trying to entice me to buy several of them.
Four 20 million credits cars are about to drop in the LCD almost on top of one another. If players spend all their credits on other things, they'll have to stick with the daily grind for another 3-4 months to get the expensive cars or they'll have to spend hundreds of real world dollars on MTX's to get them.
Watch the boards and wait for the 917k or the Cobra Daytona Coupe to show up in the LCD. I'd almost bet that's when the invites start dropping. In fact, if they don't, I have a 1998 Ford Lightning in game that you can just have. :P

Sorry but I disagree the invitation system isn't tied to the LCD or UCD if that was the case I would be getting invites left and right I haven't gotten a invite in close to 2 months now.
 
Since it's gambling, why not risk it all with a double or nothing total credit bet?
Can you elaborate? I’m not sure I follow.
Do you want a feature that lets you bet your entire credit balance for a chance to double it?
Are you talking about the current roulette ticket system? How would that work? You’re not betting anything unless you mean when you say “I bet I get the lowest prize” while it’s spinning. You don’t wager or risk any of your credits, you just get what the ticket is set to give you.
 
Just a note , and am curious from you all if you can agree with what I am about to suggest.
I play GT7 on both a PS4 and also on a PS5.
I play each system, every day. And I think I get invitations to select invitation only cars
in the roulette system on the PS4 much more often, a lot more often.
Just my observation. On my PS4 I had no problem purchasing every invitation only car.
And completed all the collectors card in the Cafe.

Lastly, if you were a gambler in a casino you would love how random the roulette system is
on the PS5, not! It picks top-left position almost every single time. Picks right side a little.
Sometimes picks bottom (rarely).
The random number generator in a CPU is not that random.
 
Somehow funny....ppl who want to buy those cars don't get invited. I got a lot of invites lately but I will never buy those cars.
The whole system is crap. Ridiculous prices AND you need an invite. What's next? Maybe you need to drive a lap on the Nordschleife in a 66 Käfer in under 9 minutes to get a chance to get an invite to buy a car for 20 million xD

Bought AC Ultimate Edition some time ago, can drive every car on every track from start - that's exactly how games like this should work. Make career or whatever optional for those who like it but let ppl who just want to drive, well, just drive.
