I am so over A/B spec that it doesn't matter weather they develop in race saves to me. Finished B spec and on A-35. Have zero plans to finish the A-enduros. Online racing is where it's at. Real people instead of the easily beatable AI.
 
You are right that online racing is better, but endurance racing is the best part of GT5 career mode. It has everything A-spec should: tire wear, fuel consumption, dynamic weather, time change, pit stops, and good competition. Personally, I welcome mid race saves as soon as we can get them.
 
So PD gave us weather change, as well as time change, but only gave us TWO RACES TOTAL that feature both. Thanks PD, thank you very much.

You almost barely race at night, or pit stop :/
 
Yea its like
I dont see the purpose of it being an Endurance race if you can just exit out Mid race ..
Well its opitional yeah but it sorta defeats the whole purpose

Well IRL, you could at least exit the car for some shut-eye while another driver takes over for a bit. If it's only you (majority of the cases I would guess) then you don't have that option. If they just implemented B-spec like they did in GT4, there would be absolutely no need for 'in-race saves.' 👎

Oh, come the 🤬 on!!!!

Dude, most of us still want to do the races without foregoing our normal life/frying our PS3 and we've been all over PD about it for months, and when we finally get this expected function all you can do is hate it???

I mean, it's not like it will ruin your game or anything, you can still play the way you play, so why being a jerk towards PD when they finally listen and develop a function most of us want???

You know...all of this "Whatever PD does is wrong attitude whenever PD moves a finger is the reason why we can't have good things :(

I like to do both Le Mans and Nurburgring 24 hour but instead of race save option, I'd rather have the GT4 feature where I can do these long races with B-spec driver. Personally, I think PD missed the mark badly by not including this feature especially considering how much more elaborate B-spec in GT5 is compared to GT4.

Truth.
On topic, what can I say - online is better but with proper people.
 
I don't care, because I'm not going to run A-spec races anymore. They're essentially a waste of time with their little credit payout and little challenge (both in terms of AI and realism - with no damage and realistic fuel/tire/grip settings, etc). There's no incentive for me to drive against the CPU for hours on the same circuit. I guess though that some people might have interest in it; I won't complain when PD will implement it.
 
^The reason I care is because I want to do the races, and as of right now I can't, and if they never fix this then I guess I will be in the same boat as you, because I won't do them either.

But I would like to get the prize cars and say that I completed the race. I hate knowing there are races in the game that I might not finish due to the fact of poor planning during development.
 
Directed toward OP and those who agree with him. Would you idiots quit complaining about things that effect you in no way, but may be enjoyable for others? People like you are f'n buzz kills, don't be a douche. GTP needs a separate board for complainers, its not fun to read, and is not constructive. Who cares if it isn't "realistic", neither is your car collection. It's a game. Have fun. Quit whining.
 
^ +1

But I still don't like the idea of it. But as everyone else says, go online, and that's what I do. :)
 
Yeah, I've been spending my time collecting all of the cars, twice each, and racing online every couple of days. I'm still obsessive about playing the game, I just don't like it when people that seem lackadaisical about the game bash advancements, or add-ons, regardless of their nature. I don't mean to be abrasive, it is just that the adage "if you don't like it, don't use it" seems to apply here. Thanks for the non-confrontational reply Elite, like I was saying, constructive.

How can you be constructive by calling people idiots?

Did not expect it from the title, but agree.

I was not going to finish the A-Spec endurance and I fully assumed that choice. No issue if I never get the game progress to 100%.

Not true. Weather changes in more races, not only in Endurance Series, but also in Expert Series.

And for (realistic) time changes, you need at least a couple of hours worth of endurance racing. There's not that many in the real world either.

I don't hate PD, i hate the lazy people that want to dumb down their(PD's) game so they can have a stupid trophy even if it's meaningless.

A endurance race have no purpose if it's not to test your endurance, if you don't have any friends to hotswap in endurance races with you, find some cheap hookers, idk.
 
I don't MIND that PD is adding in-race-saves since a lot of people want them but personally...(take it SHIRAKAWA)

Quite frankly, the AI in this game is so poor that unless you run a car that is much slower than the competition, you'll easily smash the field. This is why all the seasonal events are run not as RACES but as a game of Chase-the-Chicken. Because the AI is so lacking, if the seasonals were run from a standing start, a semi-competent driver would be able to overtake half the field on the first corner. Instead you have a bunch of bots that aren't really able to race you in a realistic way but are simply programmed to brake early, brake mid apex and force you to slow down in order to allow the rabbit up front to take off. What's more, during endurance event, as the race goes on and you come up to lap cars, they behave no differently when they're being lapped than they do when you're racing for position. All in all, GT5 may be a great driving game, but, at least in A-spec, it's a very poor racing game. The fact that there's no damage during the endurance races and no car car/hp/weight/pp restrictions with most of them, and that tire wear is in no way realistic only adds to the problem.

In my opinion, unless PD would implement tough restrictions and give the AI a complete overhaul, running endurance events is not really a test of driving ability. It's simply a matter of gaming longer. Online can be a frustrating experience, but with the right group of people, it's a gazillion times better than what we have in A-spec. I won't be doing the endurance races whether there's a save option or not because I find them all together pointless.
 
I like yellow cars more than red ones. I think I will open a thread for talking about this... Maybe also open a "The People who likes yellow more than red club".

I agree with people who likes yellow, and I agree with people who likes red... Is this the point for this thread? A discussion about your epic choice of no run the enduros? Ok let's go for it!

Now on topic: I think, after reflect on it during days, maybe you must ignore enduros.
Is a great style of living your life and enjoy your PS3. I think you are a brave person for being the first person to say what lots of people was thinking...

I will stay tuned, I want to know what people thinks about this before taking my own decision...

Threads like this make GTP big! XD

PD: We need a plugin for filter for whining.
 
wow, can't beleive people are against endurance race saves. No wonder this game is full of terrible features...because PD obviously listened to these fanboys who probably only played Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

The fact that PD shipped this without mid race saves is mindblowing...and people defending that wow, it's a game, NOT real life.

I will never buy another Gran Turismo game, not because of the game but because of the absolute moronic fanboys on this site.

Some people want the saves, not because they're "lazy" but because they, like me, want to witness the beautiful day to night transition PD made, but without keeping our PS3s on for several days (or longer) just to see it. I really don't care if I don't platinum GT5.

And it's a silly game for goodness sake. I think some are taking GT5 a bit too seriously and are forgetting that realism only applies to the driving.

You only don't care about the enduros because you can't currently do a mid-race save. Once that feature is implemented you will do the enduros. Stop trying to be too cool for the room with that online only crap.
