I can understand why threads like these keep being made, people want to rant and they want people to hear it. I also can sympathize these now as I made my opinions on GT7 more on the negative side. At least for the career mode, which is one of the big reasons why I play a GT game.
I understand that Sport was a low spec titel...but GT7!!!
1. Where are this good old Cars like Opel, Volvo and all this DTM and STW cars?
2. License and missions, with stupid Cars total boring with this "dont hit a wall or come of the track" also in missions. Only little Cr. for Silver
Yeah, GT7 didn't quite turn out to be the true return to form that Polyphony Digital had advertised. It feels more like GTSport, though at least the customization is more in-depth and there's better custom race features (still needs a lot of work)
With that said, PD just hasn't choosen to license and model the cars you seem to want yet. I do miss the DTM and STW cars from the past games. We got the Alfa 155 back and PD even added a newer DTM with the 2019 Audi RS5 DTM. We still have a long way to go before DTM is better represented in GT again.
Though I'm confused on why you're complaining about the license tests. It sounds like you have played the older GTs before and the licenses haven't really changed much.
3. AI in races is a joke, in every difficulty, i drive 150 races at same track and every time the other cars in every round at same position on track. it make no sence if i break them out or crash them, always the same. Like Spawning in every round at exactly this position. Time penalty always for me, never see a NPC must break, the most drive his line always the same, blue flag...doesn't matter! No Gas, no problem...they drive 10 rounds slow around...dont use pit lane...realy bad programming.
The A.I. has been an honest joke since GT5, I can't really explain why PD continues to make them this easy. The only bright side is that there are some events with chili peppers attached that provide good racing, so we know that they can make good A.I.. There's also the sophy A.I. quick races, though they only exist in limited capacity. That brand of AI is still too new and needs more time to be refined.
Based on one interview I recall from Kaz himself, he said he wanted to cater the A.I. to casual players rather than the hardcore drivers. I'm guessing he expects us to rely on online racing only if we want a challenge, which heavily annoys me.
4. Race from last position...where are the real start on stand...Qualification. Real Racing!
There are standing start races, they're the chili pepper events I mentioned before with the better A.I. You also can do standing start races in custom race mode. Sadly, they're not including qualification, probably because it would take away whatever challenge the chase-the-rabbit races have.
6. Statistics...Racing with no Stats...only best Place and fastes Lap...with witch Car??? How many races.
7. Dirt Races...think frozen lake fits better to this physics. Anyone of them always drive Offroad race????
I skipped number 5 as it's already been explained that customization is part of GT. For number 6, there is a status screen for things like that. Though I'll admit things are a bit all over the place, the menu organization in GT7 has been blah.
For 7, are you asking if there's dirt races. There are a few dirt tracks with races, though I wouldn't say they're the best. Offroad racing in GT7 isn't that great.
8. Drag Mode (Missions) why they dont part of races?
I have no idea why PD won't add a proper drag race mode to be honest, I agree that it's absolutely dumb that the only drag events are just driving missions. It's another case of having the ability to add something, but they choose not to do it for some reason.
Basically, Polyphony Digital has not cared for the single player career much at all and make it so they're adding events in slow incrementions for a dumb live-service model.
Basically, if you wanted to play Gran Turismo 7 for a fun, single-player racing experience that matches the old GT games (GT1-4). It's going to be a major dissappointment for some players. For any challenge, you have to play either in online lobbies or sport mode.
