I don't even care about the cars as much. I'm fine with them trickling in. The tracks are in dire need and some type of game play.
They have this championship scoring system that they could have used to build weekly online championships with, like a weekly N500 championship, a weekly Gr4 championship, etc. Stuff that would take little more than set up time and they didn't bother. Thee isn't even a single player championship. Seems "phoned in" to me.
Heck, even bring back the GT5 b-spec...I miss my guys.

Because PD wasn't sure how many cars they will be able to add after that. It doesn't mean they gonna change anything after March about monthly updates, it means they was sure about "50 cars in March" in November.
yes slip, you are right it takes a whole lot longer to model each car now, but also, they have a waaaay bigger budget. Iguess when you can fly through a $70usd game in a day it just does not really seem worth it. Can u say, rent it or buy and return? I tried not to just blow through it right away. my friend got through it in like a week and he has a full time job. Only things he is missing, drift achievement, mileage, and online stuff. He was at 100% within a few days.
edit: he is at all gold everywhere and is now just driving the tracks and different cars for fun. i still need 14 golds but have not really tried that hard, yet. gta v is looking to back in machine soon.

I think the answer is in your own post:
I think PD wants more cars and tracks before the FIA Championship starts and keep on adding cars and tracks after or during the FIA Championship.

Depends what they offer for the sub that anyone can't get anywhere else. Plus you gotta think the people who pay for 60 dollar, they better get special stuff when they sub or free stuff.

I've said it a billion times. GT is only meant to move Playstations. There is already two subscription services on PS. PS Plus and PS Now. It's more likely GT will be killed.
Actually, if you think about it from the perspective of GT getting the axe, it all makes sense.
(conjecture warning. Keep your pants on)
The PS4 is doing just fine. GT is not needed like it once was. The bulk of what we will get in content will be remade stuff because the licenses are already done. It also takes a long time to model a new car from scratch, but updating the GT5/6 cars won't take nearly the same amount of time. The tessellation feature of GT6 meant the 3D model was pretty high poly to start with. There's new shaders and textures on the cars now, and some detail changes, but they are not completely new models. That's just unnecessary from a modelling stand point.
There's fewer features because that means less testing. Makes sense when you are trying to keep the cost down.
If you go through all the (high poly) cars that were in GT5/6, and list the ones we are missing, divide those into packs of 11 cars, and that's going to be the car content we get fro here on out for the next year. For each 11 car pack, there will be 1 car that is all new (model wise). Every other pack will get a car that is new to the series, while the other gets one of the classics from the standard catalog.
We'll probably get the M3, Nismo GTR-LM, NSX Type zero, FTO, and one more.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last GT ever. Servers will run until the PS4 kicks the bucket.

Yes, a budget that has to cover a modeller spending six months to do one car from start to finish.
Well that depends, really. I too finished all of the offline content, golds and all, in the first three days of the review period for the game.
Yet I still play it fairly regularly, because of Sport Mode. There are days that I load it up and the trio of races don't interest me, but I'm playing it more than I did GT6 six months on from that game's release.
I'll readily admit that if someone is heading in expecting the vast automotive encyclopedia of previous GTs, where they could build up their dream garage in a sort of Jay Leno simulator, it probably won't deliver. That's a role that FM7 fills quite well, though.
Don't use text speak.
I honestly didn't even realize renting was still a thing these days. I feel like someone doing so would miss a lot of what Sport is about though; if they didn't have PS+ it'd be like a Prologue. Sport Mode is literally playing the long game — you progress through the ranks and, at least in my experience, learn to enjoy close clean racing more than simply winning.
The shift key is your friend, please use it. 👍
I get why GTA V would be appealing; it's a huge sandbox with an almost LittleBigPlanet-level of content these days. I find it almost overwhelming though; I only play a handful of times a year, and I get so caught up in just wandering and doing things at my own pace that I still can't afford half the stuff that's been added over the years.

I behonest I rather them focus support GT until PS5 ready and keep adding stuff. Because racing game that come every year I feel like doing same thing. I feel like too many similarities into it. If they like support like 4 to 5+ Year from there. PD Could decided what the next game racing general they focus or Do.

My dream is PD add six japanese circuits:
Motegi
Sugo
Fuji
Tokachi
Autopolis
Sendai
They are wonderful circuits. I do not know what the difficulty of PD does not include them, since it should have more geographic and bureaucratic ease than other softhouses.
More Super GT, will be PERFECT.

The fastest you can beat the game ( all achievements is Like 80 hours) . Just doing every event pre GT league was easily -
20 hours of gameplay . Drive very car / track / livery editor / Scapes etc . Its not polyphonys fault a large chunk of people ignore the livery editor / scapes. For 60$ I feel I got a good game . Is it as much as Gt6 ? Nope . But then again GT6 was a mess.
I like it better than gt6, but I did not enjoy that game a ton like most of the others. Sorry I miss the shift key a bunch, but normally I type in a word processor, heck even today most sites even correct for that stuff. But, anyway, I really do not have great feeling in the right side of my right hand, the one I use to hit the shift key. Broken wrist, hand more than once. currently healed, but still nerve damage.
I did blow off most of the game initially and tried to race online, get a gold here or there,(got most of them now) but mainly tried to enjoy it. I still play, but sometimes just grind for the daily car. It is just most cars are the same and really do not interest me. Tuning a car for offline play is really easy and I usually try and dumb them down to make it hard.
And why can we not merge our records with friends? Half of my friends did most of the game before the update that deleted all the records. stupid

I think something big will happen on the 6th of March. I don't why, but I get the feeling that it will be the day we get another major content update, ESPECIALLY with the new Supra debuting. Unless PD release something next week...

First off I'm kinda shocked as to how many people here seem to dismiss the idea that GT6 is the reason behind the no February update. GT6 will get one last big update before it goes offline because its not like they pull the plug and that's the end. A lot of work must be done before that takes place.
Second a lot of people are still playing GT6 and it wouldn't surprise me if it was more than are playing GTS as the lobbies stay quite full in GT6 at the moment. With such a large GT community split between two games I truly believe the next GTS update will be heavily focused on the end of GT6.
More cars, More famous tracks real and past GT ones, and a even more offline content and probably a few other big surprises. A lot of effort will be put into trying to get those GT6 players to move over to GTS quickly. So I believe we won't see another update until around the 26th of March (the end of GT6) but I do believe it will be the biggest content update GTS has seen yet.
I don't have any inside information to confirm any of this but the timing of the two games just makes the most since and if I remember correctly something similar was done with the timing between the end of GT5 and a big update for GT6.

The phrase "the January update" doesn't imply anything other than "this is the sole planned update for January". It certainly doesn't imply the existence of other updates.
