The Things That Annoy You

[benjoi84]

The bizarre scheduling of the daily races, or more so the lack of overlapping scheduling.

If a race takes roughly 20 minutes to complete, don't stagger the start times by 20 minute intervals. Stagger the start times by 10 minutes.

Give players an overlapping schedule so that if a player has a desire to race a certain race but misses the start time, the wait for the next race is 10 minutes, not 20 minutes! You can't do anything in 20 minutes apart from pootle around the home menu or scroll through the internets! Let us race more!

I really do believe it's time that we have an overhaul of Sport Mode, probably in time for the next game, and this would be one of the key elements. If my experience of player numbers, especially outside of peak hours, is the reality, then this could give us an issue if put into effect in GT7.

Foglight operation being tied to active rainfall of any level, whereas additional lighting you can add in GT Auto is tied to headlights being on or off.

Foglights on = cool 😎

You know what really grind my gears on this game, why can't we have a lobby for mixed racing classes on Le-mans, and only lemans so we can emulate the real world style, sure it may be chaotic, but if the PS5 can handle that many cars like a grid of 24 racers maybe? Then it would be cool right? Only problem is the GT2 class lacking many cars.

So we have GT1 cars top then GT2 and GT3 cars racing for top spots. I wonder!

GR.1

GR.3

Problem with the GTWS drivers being in every race is not only repetition, but there is a general lack of feeling of competition and rivalries. When I race against Solis I don't think "Oh **** it's Solis, I better watch out for that guy!" I just think instead "Oh it's you... now get out of my way, roadblock."

These avatars lack personality. They may be driving their favorite brands and use slightly faster AI than the cars in the back of the pack, but there is no way to really engage with these avatars and create rivalries or even alliances. They become nothing more than generic bots with someone's real name and picture attached to them.

Yeah, I hate them. I'm into cars, not into hot brasilian boys. These flags bugs me too, brand's logo when?

I still wonder why we still don't have proper multi-class races in GT. I'm fairly sure other racing games have this implemented years ago, at least FM7 had them from what i remember.

Speaking of which, minor thing but the 16 player limit on open lobbies. They aren't that deal breaker for me since i don't play online much and most open lobbies are rarely that full anyways. It would be nice to have 20 at least.

Just thought of this annoying thing whilst reading another thread, but why cant we with a button press drop the convertible roof on ragtop or hardtop cars alike???

It would be so fun to do so like with the wipers and hazard indicators to have control of it.

Or at least when hitting the track have the option to choose.

Only if a roll cage is installed as most tracks require a roll cage to ride with top down.

I dont care about the roll cage, what I meant was on the road cars, the Mazda MX5 tourin car has the roll cage aspect which is fine.

It's a simcade game, we dont need to follow "track rules" regarding safety and roll cages, lol.

Ok so you want the Real Driving Simulator to basically ignore that whole phrase? Today is good day for you, huh? Also where is the "cade" part in the actual gameplay? Is it super realistic? NO? Is it Crazy Taxi? Not at all.

like in vr in showroom, you wish you ccould interact with buttons etc, would have been a nice feature.

My day has been fine thanks!

Half the time the phrase Real driving simualtor is overrated for GT, also what part of real is it for you, when you cant even flip the fabric roof or folding hardtop on a car up and down???

Hey, it didn't say "the real all buttons work simulator".

 

[benjoi84]

Speaking of small cool interactions outside of the race track, every time I get a new GT game, I check to see if the Garage model of my current car reacts to steering inputs and headlights, brake lights and indicators.

It never does... c'mon PD.

Extremely disappointed with GT7. All i want to do is max my cars and race within the game, not interested in online racing so Bop just ruins the fun.

Nothing's stopping you from maxing your cars offline.

Three of the last four tickets I've gotten:

1) Ultra high RPM turbo for the GT-R NISMO '17. I already have and installed the part, so I deleted it.
2) Bore Up for the Scirocco R. I already have and installed the part, so I deleted it.
3) Forget the part, but it was for the GT-R Safety Car. I don't have the car, so I deleted it.

Fun use of my time!!!!!!!!

So, you're actually saying you only have one GT-R NISMO '17???

What about the one with a widebody applied or the one with only stock engine parts or all the possible cars the engine can get swapped into?

Edit: what I'm trying to say: some parts are actually a nice money saver if you have a use for them. It would be nice to be able to sell parts though, at least to get some compensation for the ones you don't need.

Replays!

Why in the world is it impossible to start an available top time replay from the leaderboard once you are inside the event? It can only be started from the leaderboard available at the car selection stage.

Why is it only possible to either jump 10 seconds ahead or back using the respective buttons or jump to distinct 10 second intervals after pressing R2? Should be possible to seemlessly scroll through the race using an analog stick in this same view that opens when pressing R2. Bonus points if the replay speed would change with how far the stick is moved.

Why is it often impossible to directly start the replay after a race? Should always be possible without having to save it first. Don't get me started on the menus when trying to access your saved replays.

In time trialing or free practice sessions it should be possible to replay only your fastest lap of the session. Saving only your fastest lap is possible too, therefore this should also be possible.

Bonus idea for free practice sessions: Replay parts of your lap (where you messed up or especially challenging parts that you would like to repeatedly practice).
When watching a replay in this mode then allow to jump straight back into the car at any arbitrary point of the replay.
Additionally allow to easily reset back to this chosen starting point.

That's fair, and in hindsight, I completely overlooked the engine swap option (although I don't know if I would attach the ultra-high turbo to any of them). And yes, I only have one GT-R NISMO '17 because I don't need duplicates when there's already the GT-R '17 and the GT-R T-Spec Premium Edition '24...

Selling parts would be a great solution OR making the tickets a simple coupon you can cash in for any car. For as many car/part combinations we have, I sure seem to get a lot of duplicates.

Oh man! Where to begin

• not be able to collect all the cars even having 100.000.000 cr because it could be months or even more than a year to a invite to appear.
• broken economy and rewards, so if you win a daily race A+ yo just get 20.000 cr aprox. I mean what kind of reward is that for a game with most of the cars are +80.000, if you create a game where the total cost of the cars in the game is 528 mill and you get all the rewards in the game like me I’m still 300.000.000 off with all the game complete, easy just create a game that if you gold everything you get 500.000.000 cr
• non sense roulettes
• all the navigation it’s just tedious pressing X and O constantly to simple tasks
• when you set a time in a license or CE the arrow should be in try again instead of quit, always I forgot to click left because you want to retry
• I always question myself, these Japanese are clever. Just listen the community, use what worked in past GTs and discard the wrong. No, you just take the worst of all GTs and create GT7.
• The stupidity of engine parts and tunning parts. At least let me sell them.
• Sarah telling me to calm down and breath deep.

It is a minor annoyance, but I don't like how the customizable racing transmission adds a 5th gear to old classic cars. I just want to adjust the gearing without adding a 5th gear.

Also, that transmission whine is annoying... If I set the sound setting to -5 I can still hear it. Can't we get an option to make it completely quiet?

Yes indeed! Can’t be hard to set the final drive only, at the very least. Also, the transmission adds a 6th gear to the 240 ZG, which is totally weird.

It also ditches the clutch for a hydraulic/auto and sequential shifter. Afaik the manual sports transmission keeps the original gears and manual clutch - have you tried using this instead of the racing transmission?
