The Things That Annoy You

[Force-Feedback]

I'n sure this was mentioned before, but I only got to be annoyed by recently. Not being able to change all the metrics the way you want. I have speed set to KMs/H instead of MPH but I can't have weight measured in KGs but only in LBs.

Also (may have mentioned it), lack of AI in private lobbies for casual friends. Even if it's a small amout like 6 AI cars.

Similarly, I have everything set to MPH, but digital readouts in race cars still read in KPH. If it's an analog gauge I get it, but digital gauge? CMon PD!

I feel like this is more of a "good idea" than an annoying oversight.

Another feature that PD need to add is that I want to check over my Racing car for like WORN Oil or Tyre health on the racetracks garage, so PD should make a PIT crew/Race Garage feature, where you maybe build a race strategy/pit (box) timings and are able to change your oil and other elements of your car, before the racing starts on track.

I always seem to miss fixing these before a race and dont want to get back through the long stupid menu system to change rectify this and lose time having to get back onto online races. May sound like a little whinge, but they have already an animation on certain courses where the car is garaged on the track, so you could just make a menu shortcut liek the "race shop" where you could do this.

The fact that you cannot rewind or reset the mileage on legendary/used cars.

 

[Tappajakoala]

I am annoyed of sound effects of menu buttons. They are almost unchanged since GT2. (Maybe even GT1)
They give me migraine.

Choice of music for menus has been so horrible I did disable them after month of playing the game.

Otherwise I'm quite okay with the GT7, but imaginary vision cars should be removed.

Then what would be the purpose of tracking mileage at all?



....And that's illegal.

They could just split car mileage and driver mileage with the car.

I actually do agree its is annoying you cant see exactly how many miles you've actually driven certain cars but I think a better solution would be to just have a separate "trip" odometer.

I cannot understand why it is not an obvious thing to have. I want to be able to sort cars per distance driven, not car mileage especially if the car has thousands of km when I bought it.

And I also want to know how many km I've done with each car.

I'm annoyed that gaming journalists don't ask Kaz/PD about some of these long-standing issues... Or maybe Kaz/PD doesn't allow them to. Either way, it's annoying and dismissive.

Additionally, I'm annoyed that PSVR2 is still a blurry mess in GT7. I still play it dmn near daily but an update would be nice.

I beleive that generally, the questions are controlled and the journalists don't get much time or many questions to ask, therefore they typically choose to ask questions that won't get them placed on PD's black list (or whichever other developers).

You're more than likely 100% right.

Well how do you suggest that I keep track of my used car's mileage, as in my own mileage>

 

[ZEE]

Could also add a quick menu select system on just before the Race waiting screen, to adjust your TCS and BBalance in stone, as every time I go from Qualifier/Practice to Race the MFD wants to reset them all to defaults. Why?

If I leave adjustment at a point I am happy in those TCS/BB modes early on, please keep the setting, like it should be part of your settings list setup. I dont want to be shufufling thru the MFD on my controller on the silly rolling start and accidently mis-stepping to find the right menu.

I guess it trickier for wheel drivers pre-race?

It agains shows how PD's HUD & its funny game ergonomics are quite dated? Maybe? No they defo are! lol.

 

[Pianista911]

The most important thing that annoys me is the lack of proper single player campaign, but to give more realistic, 'fixable' issue, it is the lack of customizable HUD. I would like to immerse myself with this game's beautiful graphics with just a track map displayed. Now I have to have either race info or all the car info at the bottom.

Also, more 'dynamic', forza-style chase cam would be nice, with adjustable FOV.

 

[Mafio]

Im being 100% genuine when I say this. I do not understand what people mean when they say "a proper single campaign". Like, you do the DL test, (IDEALLY, ignoring the in-game economy controversy) you use the other races to buy the cars need to work your way through the championship races. Without evoking that past, what else would one need?

I think the issue most people have is that there is no real connection to your unique GT7 experience.

In previous games, the cars you used to progress from wheeled shed to hypercar in your own, personal way. In GT7 we're all kinda tied to the same journey.

It would be like if Pokémon had you choosing between the three starters, but then immediately you realised in the early game that you always got Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle anyway.

By 'single campaign' I mean more championships, preferably with some customized per-event setting (maybe with a little video-intro, talking about given car class). For now we have 10. I do not mean 'story mode', which usually come up as very childish in racing games. Even event structure like Forza Motorsport 7 had would be nice. We have so many cars in the game and so many events to race them. And by the way, it's the easiest part of the game to update, based on existing templates - much less work for developer then modelling new car (for which, btw, I don't care - game already has everything I want in that regard). Cafe menus would be a nice addition, but for me - it's not a proper, structured 'single player campaing' by any means.

Pick a career from GT1 - GT4, you could choose your own races, compete in whatever championship you wanted... in 7 you collect cars for some random cafe owner, practically tutorial, then it ends. That's the problem, it is way too linear and short.

It's a figure of speech, of course GT7 has a single player campaign, it's just very shallow compared to previous games campaigns. To me, GT7's campaign feels like a glorified tutorial. There are very few decisions to be made, the races aren't very good and the campaign is extremely linear.

GT1-4 and GT6 were pretty much sandboxes. As long as you had a car that qualified and the required license, you could enter any event, with a small number of exceptions. GT5 was an outlier with it's driver level system, but still offered more flexibility or feeling of freedom than GT7 does.

To say GT7 doesn't have a single player career mode is wrong, it's just not a very good one in some peoples opinion while others don't seem to mind it. GT3 and GT4 were the pinnacle for me, GT3 had the best structure, GT4 had the most events.

Grid size. Cant believe how long the franchise only had six cars on track. Now twenty is not enough. Too many fantastic fantasy set ups to create with not enough grid places. Gets annoying having to leave cars out of a wonderfully diverse grid.

 

[wheelhp]

the cumbersome menus when you want to import many liverys for different cars.. And loading times of loading gt sport liverys to import.... on a PS5

I have no patience and time for livery. I love but i just don't like spending time doing it. I sincerely admire those who does.

 

[Ande3200]

The thing that bothers me the most is the career mode, lack of championchips, endurance races, and gt league style career mode menu books should only be an extra part of campaign like missions

AI's wet weather/pit "strategy" - today I ran Fuji WTC. It rains in the beginning, so everyone is on wets. Around lap 2 tracks starts to dry and AI cars are changing to interns. Then, when racing line is completely dry and tires are worn, they will pit and...change to interns, again. Fast forward to lap 8, inters are destroyed, AI pits one last time and chooses... wets, on totally dry track. Like, wtf?
Another example is Viper on Monza race pitting 4/5 times, because game cannot calculate how much fuel is needed.

Would be nice if PD can allow players to use garage cars while servers are down.

 

[PirovacBoy]

Polyphony Digital simply refusing to listen to its players, the community.
There are so so many little things that wouldn't take much effort imo to greatly improve the gaming experience for LITERALLY EVERYONE.
Single Players or Multiplayers.
Instead they just seem to completely and solely focus on what THEY think is of importance.
I absolutely adore this game for what it is but it COULD be sooo much better with some minor tweaks here and there.
If they just listen a little bit, just a tiny bit of communication between the hardcore player base who really love this game... 😐

Last weekend I've added one more thing to my annoying things list.

We can't discard the so called "free" cars. I tried to discard the ambulance and the Sony Afeela but I could not. I'm aware that discard and sell are different things.

The reason was I'd like to have a slim garage with cars I really like and use. Of course, there's always the favorite tab in the garage and I can keep my collection there and ignore the rest. But.... It's just annoying.

Hmm, posts from the patch notes reading garage cars back on the menu in Time Trial. Anyone check if garage cars are usable offline?

 

[benjoi84]

Now, this may seem odd to complain about given the amount of times that I've reaped the benefit but...

Why isn't going off-track to the right at 130R (Suzuka) liable to incur any penalties? I'm talking about Sport Mode, of course. It seems like such a crucial part of the circuit, a place where you can make or break your race, and you're allowed to be so loose there?
