Last time I played GT5 was just after Motegi came out… Still I played GT5 probably longer than any other game I’ve ever played so I certainly can’t complain about that. But like most people i’ve moved on to other things now so not on here often.
For those of you new to GT5, ALL of the Seasonal Races over the last few months are re-adds of ones that were there in 2011 but were removed around November 2011 I think. So, we’ve had no new Seasonal Races for months basically! (although I accept that was partly down to GT Academy)
I think the Supercar event may be the last event to be reinstalled – Can someone confirm? If so, you may actually get something new in 2 weeks… I really do hope so, as those of you still playing deserve a reward for loyalty.

I finished this yesturday in my Corvetter ZR-1 and won a FORD GT LM RACE CAR because it!!!
Thanks POLYPHONY!!

That car drives like a dream, hope you enjoy it. Was it the premium or standard? Either way, it is my second favorite car in the game (Lambo, GT40, ZR1), and that goes for all of the Ford GT40′s. This is coming from a die hard Chevy fan, but that car is simply amazing. Loved it since I saw it in photos from 2002 auto shows.

Notably absent from any starting grid is the Ford GT. Yet the ’69 Vette, Viper, and V8 Vantage make the cut? PD, please put a little more thought into it.

GT5 is so freaking dead with it’s chase the rabbit horibly boring ai. What a shame, and sham too.

I know it just might be wishful thinking but maybe they’re making this seasonal as a money maker. That way they can add a few DLC’s that we’ll have to buy the cars from them to put in our garages. Just a thought.
-
October 26th, 2012 at 6:43 pm - #Pit Crew
These Seasonals have nothing to do with making profit for PD to develop DLC. Its just an extension of the GTLife ASpec Events.
-
October 27th, 2012 at 3:32 am - #HarVee
Although, I too think that these seasonal events are only created to give players an easy way to make a lot of cash. Hell, why else would some events pay out 300k or more when the original A-spec events only pay out maybe 20k at best?
Considering that I’ve completed most of the original A-Spec events, I usually just grind the Online A-Spec 3 Nurb GP/D 500pp seasonal race for quick cash now as that pays out 301,000 game credits (602,000 with 2x login bonus) and usually only takes 4 and a half minutes.I’ve must of made at least 60 million credits and was also able to level up from 33A to 40A, just from grinding that seasonal race alone.

Man I’m gonna fall way behind especially with RE6 already out, ACIII coming out next week, and black ops next month.

I’ve been running seasonals like I set up my Arcade races lately. I use fully stock vehicles, cockpit view no hud, default tires, clean laps, no aids including abs. Needed to make these more interesting for my own enjoyment. No easy wins that way. No race cars for street class races.
If the field has a crazy fast rabbit, I’ll go for some tuning and run grippier tires-some I haven’t been able to beat which is fine.
-
October 27th, 2012 at 4:12 pm - #Both Barrels
This is the idea behind this seasonal, a point that others may miss. A chance to run your bonafide supercars against one another, not to use racecars or one-off racecars. Not winning isn’t important, the fun is in coaxing the most out of an unruly exotic, some of which have long been collecting dust. This seasonal reminds me of IMO the best A-Spec race, the MR race at Deep Forest.

Easiest Seasonal ever… If you are looking for easy money and easy points, just put the Chaparral full detuned at Grand Valley or Indy…

A simple way to improve all of this. Rather than having us race against AI. Pick 5 cars a week, run time trials, tuning prohibited. That way the best driver truly comes in first. None of this broken drifting cheating (although it makes for easy money) Really prove who the best drivers in the world are. Just my two cents, take it as it is. No more of a complaint as it is a positive idea, that would really make people want to play this game a bit more. I race in SNAIL, and if you are into clean/competitive racing I suggest checking it out. It has made gt5 worth playing for me. Spec racing truly proves who the better drivers are.

I’m surprised more people don’t request this … I know I would play gt5 a lot more if it had leader boards like prologue had

Have to say as someone that never uses Sports Soft tyres i managed to get first place On grand Valley at the fourth attempt. Strangely enough I really enjoyed the seasonal event. I will be trying again later over the weekend. As for chasing the rabbit seasonal events well at least the game is still being updated with seasonal events otherwise you will be bitching it won’t be as per usual.

October 26th, 2012 at 12:04 am - #CorvetteConquer
another_jackhole wants to know how to make Season Events better? Try starting with the A.I.
When you can beat the leading car by the second lap, then there’s a problem. The problem is that the A.I. is pre-determined and it’s terrible. The A.I. should adapt to YOU and your particular skill level.
Add more rival events. Where’s the Mustang VS Camaro races?
Why not a Vette VS Viper race?
Jaguar VS Lotus?
RUF VS Mercedes Benz?
Spice it up some. I think Kaz should give the reins to somebody new. He’s done his fair share.

October 26th, 2012 at 2:01 am - #HarVee
Evo vs STi, Supra vs RX-7, Thunderbird vs Corvette, Challenger vs ‘Cuda, Charger vs GTO ;)

BMW vs. Mercedes Benz

Subaru vs RUF, “Boxer Spirit” style. :)
-
October 26th, 2012 at 8:17 am - #sangdude82
What about Supra vs. RX-7 vs. Skyline GT-R? A lot of Supra & RX-7 owners hate R32, R33 & R34 Skyline GT-Rs in real life lol. So it will be a good match up.

A great deal of rivals can be tuned from GT’s car list. While organizing my garage, by pp rating, I’ve discovered a vast number of classes that are equal in power and weight with the downforce adjusted to equal pp’s. Very helpful. ’88-92 prototypes, ’97-98 GT1s (my favorite), ’00 GTS vs PD’s LMs… the list on and on. NXS vs RX-7 and STi vs WRX rivalries span my garage from RM/TC to Winged Warriors (fully tuned street machines) throughout their model years again with equal power and weight ratings. The thing is I’ve not been very successful in finding many interested in the concept at HighPerformanceStreet

I bought an Aventador didn’t even changed the oil, left it completely stock and i cleared the event fairly easy with 578pp (stock pp)

I try to look on the bright side, at least with seasonal races I don’t get disconnected or “black screened”

Everybody complains about the rabbits. Sometimes yes they are redundant, but it’s part of the game. Like it or don’t like it. Chase them or don’t chase them. I like to chase them. It improves my skill. Seeing how fast I can catch each one by what corner regardless of what lap on what track is fun to me. It also helps me tune cars (not that I’m that good at it) and understand their physics.

Make a thread about what’ll make the Seasonal Events better. No one wants to hear you whining, especially if you’re not going to try and do something about it.
-
October 26th, 2012 at 1:09 am - #MuoNiuLa
It makes no difference if you post it here or in the forum.
And for goodness sake, the people “whining” also payed for the game. Really getting tired of people defending GT5 trying to shut down others for saying things they don’t agree with.
-
October 26th, 2012 at 3:11 am - #TokoTurismo
Honestly I really agree with you @MuoNiuLa. Seriously. Now it’s really getting annoying to see others posting about people complaining about this game. I HATE the stupid “chase the rabbit” seasonal events with ridiculous A.I. with nothing but the same blasted events being reused AGAIN from the A-Spec career…

@ MuoNiuLa
I’d be far more inclined to respect the moaning people’s views if they weren’t just repeating what had already been said millions of times previously, and then growing frustrated when their request hadn’t been added by the next week, or asking for things that clearly aren’t going to happen.
Video games are an art form, and for hundreds of people to be complaining and saying Kazunori should step down, and that this this and this must be added, and threatening not to play the game if their ransom demands are met, is beyond stupid. It’s Polyphony Digital’s game to make, and if people don’t like it and aren’t getting what they want after many requests, they should be prepared to look for a different more suitable game, make a more suitable game, or shut up.

Nobody forces you to play them. Just put you’re finger on the power button and you’re problem is solved ;)

@SCER: At the same time, PD is still a business putting out a product they expect people to spend their hard-earned money on. When putting out a product you actually want people to spend money on, you better be ready for any criticism out there. If people spend that money and they feel it wasn’t worth it, they’re going to get vocal. This game is not free after all and PD should know that without people buying their games in the first place, they wouldn’t be so successful today. They need to consider all criticism for their games if they want to stay that way.
You’re right. Some people make stupid requests and demand things that are impossible to do. However, PD is not trying their best here which is why I think people are frustrated. They have done a better job with events in previous games and even added better seasonals before. They aren’t even using all of their resources. For example, there hasn’t been a single race on High Speed Ring Rain and Monza Rain.
@Racingworld: You’re a little late on posting that because I don’t play GT5 anymore. But I’m not complaining about the event and I wasn’t going to. What’s getting on my nerves is some of the PD defending around here.

@ Toko
The saying is ‘carrot on a stick’, not ‘chase the rabbit’. It originated with RPGs since they’re consistently focused on what is essentially mindless grinding which can or can not be reaped for some benefit (besides the obvious end reward being worked towards). It doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme, but it’s an idiosyncratic irritation to me and I wanted to clear it up. Also, if you hate it, why on Earth are you doing it? Make some friends and do online play, because that’s far more entertaining to do so for equal/more amounts of work with equal/higher payouts than played-out seasonals.
As for the seasonals, they’re designed this way because the original seasonal design was garbage. Restricted car events? Please. Forcing me to pick up a stupid i-MEiv or a Kubelwagen just to make what amounted to around a 15% profit on the whole deal was beyond stupid.
@Muo
The people here ‘whining’ are doing exactly that: whining. When you can’t offer constructive, realistic criticism or an alternative option, you are whining and doing nothing else. Most of complaints are outrageous in the sense that they’re either completely unobtainable or they could be done by the user with little/no effort. Want to race on Monza in the rain? Set up a game in the lobby to do so with proper restrictions. The fact that people blame Polyphony for sub-par seasonals but don’t actively put in the time to use the already-in-place workarounds is astounding.
As a company, PD should be able to take criticism, and obviously they can because they haven’t buckled to stupid community complaints over the course of a decade. The problem is nobody ever offers solutions. The AI in Career mode is bad?Copy-paste the re-worked Arcade mode AI over to Career mode with the difficulty slider included. Poor customization aesthetics? They already have the decals in-game for the ‘Race Mod’ cars, so make those accessible to the players (including the racing number), treat each part of the car as its own object and give each main dealer a color wheel with all the colors assigned to that brand. If you gave me enough time, I could easily come up with a solution for every ‘THIS IS WHY THE GAME SUCKS’ post that’s come up.
The bottom line is that everybody loves to complain, and then follow it up by doing nothing because it’s a lot easier than being productive. So no, some of the PD defending is equally as ridiculous as the bashing, but it’s far worse to endorse the bashing since the overwhelming majority of it isn’t constructive, original or even literate most of the time.
