Hi, i don't normally post stuff in such depth tbh but this is literally driving me round the bend...
I bought GT5:P and love it, it looks great and i feel it is the most realistic driving sim out there, i just feel frustrated at the lack of challenge brought by the career mode and these need improving in the full game. Firstly, you can never lose. Thats lame, i like to be challenged and in all honesty all you have to do is win races with slightly higher spec cars for a particualr event and save save save for the next car up which will give you a good chance to win the next race. Id love it if Polyphony gave me the opton to make it more difficult. Here's how i think it could be better:
1. Have a fee for the event (any event! C class upwards).
2. Now you have promised accurate damage physics - please make the cost of the damage you do come out of your credits (thus encouraging you not to bumper your way round a corner for example). OR better, have an insurance aspect of the game and if you crash all the time your premiums sky-rocket.
3. Set a limit on the spec car you can use, for example in the daytona course (where top speed is lord) have a top BHP and have one or two cars with a similar BHP. This means you actually have to race properly by making use of slipstreams and sticking to the best race line etc.
4. Perhaps offer incentives for turning off race lines and brake assists etc if you have the chance to use them. Things like race-lines are great for getting to know a track, so if you can be encouraged to turn the aides off earlier and get a reward somehow i feel that this will make the game more rewarding.
I think you get the general feel for my ideas. Basically i feel if these arent implemented even as options for people like myself i think that GT5 won't be as good a leap forward as it should be. I think having situations whereby a racer can go bust if he/she risks all their money on one vital race BUT could afford that shiny AM DB9 if they manage 2nd or better would be an amazing feeling. Plus if you fail one time, have to sell all your cars and start again with a mini or whatever, when you do make it further next time every shiny new car you purchase will be that much better.
Ok, enough waffling from me! Let me know what you think and please, if you feel this is a worthy cause spread the message on other forums and hopefully someone from Polyphony will pick it up. Thanks for reading. PSN: Dave1311 if anyone fancies a race!
