You weren't really expecting a useful answer to this, were you? Are we trying to show off now, hmmm?
Why would I show off?
1.03 update adds ONLINE ONLY mechanical damage (No further details known.)

It's not hurting feelings, and it's not intended too, but I dont see where you get the from? It has more cars, better graphics, two single player modes, and more players (not compared to grid which is on 2 consoles, I'm saying exclusive games). Not much more things, sf yes it does have less of some things but... Yanno! It also gives you more value

Is their number of allowed updates limited? Seriously, some things take more time to program than others. I don't call that a wasted update. Any update that adds stuff is a welcome update to me, as it adds content in some way. And yes, the leaderboards will be added, supposedly this month, and we know that Kaz and his team are planning a few other updates in the coming months, so everybody should calm down, go wreck their cars online and enjoy the joys of a misaligned steering wheel or damaged engine...
I sense a great future for Gran Turismo 5 as Kaz seems really dedicated to improve the game in the many upcoming updates. Can't wait to see what they have in store for the next updates!

See, I don't see it as that unlikely. There are programmers at PD that have been known to edit their code in assembler, and are some of the only ones out there willing to do so for reasons of this type. That could easily set them back if they had to re-update to a new SDK. This is of course information I heard from one of my clan mates who writes code and does programming for a living in Japan. He says that some of the coders they have at PD are legendary for their coding ability, and would edit code in assembler without even thinking twice. This guy isn't known for blowing smoke out his rear end, but you never know, he could be.
1-Please stop complaining
2-Damage to online is great thats my favorite part of the game anyway.
3-Offline mode is flawed and boring except for some challenges.
*we should deal with that *
4-time trial (good fun learn the tracks)
5-arcade *if by some reason connection is off so you can race against somebody*
6- online (the best part of the game)
I only do spec A becuase i need the credits.
If i want real driving i just look for a room with good players and i have found quite a lot of those. If you are on room and people is crashing into each other look another room.
Im on 2mb connection and i have no issues, you guys in US and europe with 10+mb connection should be blazing fast to change rooms.

Whats people moaning about now? If the game doesnt get fixed, people moan. It gets a patch, people moan. Patch = progress. Snail pace or otherwise, progress is good. I'll bitch about a patch only if it takes content out. Also, I have to 'lol' at the kiddies not wanting to race with damage. It was a topic of attacking GT5, now its in, some folks here say people want it turned off online? Kids, are you old enough to play GT5 then?? I recommend Motor Toon Racing to those types.

Forza 3 does not have a open hopper system like GT5, Forza 2. so this will not pose to much of threat and anyway cant you tick room ownership so that you cant get the boot also private hoppers allow you to set the level of competion by adjusting the difficulty for all players so that you should end up with a balanced field eventually also you could name it "awesome driver" enter if you dare. And I agree livery paints is a must. nothing like creating your own masterpeice like in Forza 3
Yep, because it's so much nicer to race online against a thousand cars with anime and porn painted on them.
And so much more realistic
Don't get me wrong, custom liveries are cute to have, but they also have PLENTY downsides, so I would not even go near defining them a "must" or anywhere near a priority. If I had a dime for every absolutely tacky (and immersion breaking) car I raced online in Forza 3, and had to pay a dime for every good and realistic looking one, I'd be able to afford buying a Ferrari. Scratch that, I could buy Ferrari. All of it.

A livery editor would finally offer NASCAR fans a chance to expand the number of different liveries in an online race so we aren't stuck racing against 6 Dale Jrs and 3 Jeff Gordons. If you ask me that is one of the most important things PD needs to tackle, as it is a serious hindrance to the realism of NASCAR in the game

I don't really see the big deal. The positives far outweigh the negatives as far as that is concerned. Your really willing to sacrifice the ability to personalize cars and create replicas just because you don't like seeing cartoon asses? To be perfectly honest, I'd rather race with a field that has a couple of boob cars than a field with 5 Jeff Gordons. Thats boring and unrealistic (not to say boob cars ARE realistic, they obviously aren't). The people who make those, ahem, homages to the cartoon anatomy can be ignored. I'll have fun racing with my friends in replicas of 2010 and 2011 NASCAR schemes.

Maybe fanboys that will defend it to the death, just a guess.
I agree. Paintshop for custom liveries, auction house to remedy all this used car hunting and ad-hoc car gifting, and perhaps most importantly, credits for online racing. Grinding for cash is so antiquated and boring it is shameful. Cars are more expensive than ever in GT5, and we have fewer ways to earn credits . . . (no repeat car awards, no repeat credits in special events.)
Better yet, dump the course generator and create a custom series generator. You pick the restrictions and tracks/number of races, and set the difficulty. The game analyzes the restrictions and awards you credits based on the settings and the car you select.

This is your rationale against a livery editor? You don't like anime? Is there a single real-world racing livery which you have found you cannot buy in Forza 3? Do the liveries you don't like ruin your gaming experience? How is more less? Can you even explain or are you still dreaming of your dimes and the Ferrari?
Exactly, there has been a patch and it hasn't gone backwards, so waht is there to moan about? some will moan about anything!

Is it just me or have the smoke effects been improved as well?

Shadows too?
Remember on grid start they were pretty messy, they don't look as bad now?
I can't just be imagining this....

I really hope that PD don't listen to the moaning minority community that closely. The 'so quick to judge, never willing to think' attitude could ruin this game with thoughtless and useless implementations of ill thought out 'features' or mechanics. Some of the preachers have barely even got past the title screen before exclaiming how wrong this and that is.
People were even doing it with 2 min video clips looking at reflections on the roof of the cars during bends with damning animated Gifs showing the 'terrible' omissions that blind and stupid PD obviously forgot to notice during the games lengthy production process.

Actually credits for online racing was supposed to be in the online part from the start, check your manual it's in there, so it matchmaking. What in the world prompted PD to literally disable these many things to begin with. From the measly size of these patches, something else is cooking that they aren't giving us information about. Things were disabled, it's not like mechanical damage was just added, it was blatantly turned off. The fact that the on screen display was always there, meaning that they Golded the game with a lot features turn off or hidden. This whole thing just seems strange as hell.
One idea I have would be to allow online race series, like the one's you have in GT Life, complete with credit payouts and subtractions for damage incurred. The online part of GT5 seems like it's a build as they go thing, adding things to appease the community and in such a short time, seems as if they knew ahead of time or they already had it and just waited until the outcry came. Just give us a central hub that we can sit in and check for room availability, and to be returned to that hub should you choose to leave a room and not the whole online lobby(that is my biggest gripe).
I'm sorry but a game of this size and with as many people wanting to play it, why the hell shouldn't we be able to be known by how our car looks, cars no matter how many there are in the world will undoubtedly start repeating, but individuals that is rare. No two people think the same and I would like to grace my line up of cars with my own visual flair. I don't care if the next guy wants boobs on his car, that's his option. We for the most part are older adults and like to be treated as such. Even if it's just vinyls and paint to start out, make it happen. Fix that lame paint chip idea, if I get a paint chip, I have it until I give it away. I should have unlimited usage of the chip. That whole scheme is garbage if you ask me. I want to make GT5, MY GT5. I want to head to an online shop and snag some authentic PD designed logos to add to my cars if I want to. They want to make GT5 a community thing, well a paint shop guarantees that you will have a lot of people communing together and swapping out ideas. The Tuning needs to be fixed, I have never heard of bolt on chassis rigidity being permanent, that just doesn't happen. Also the Full Racing Transmission is BROKEN! I cannot tune individual gears, FIX IT PLEASE. Seems like a bug in the main game code as the manual says you should be able to change each individual gear. I have some more things that need to be addressed, but I'm about to get my GT5 fix, and I can't think and race hard at the same time.
Oh, how about a way to calibrate your pedals and such, auto calibration is fine and dandy, but I want to at least change how far I depress my pedal for full accel and for full braking. What is with people and removing options such as these?

Uhm, so you are saying I am showing off simply because not many have driven it yet? Alright, buddy.

We'd have to see some screen shots...
I always thought the shadow quality was down to the tracks. On certain tracks they aren't actually too bad. On others not so good...

I would hope that legitimate concerns like broken, not working, crashing should be heard and addressed and carefully constructed requests with not only the 'issue' but a well thought out solution would be nice too but some sort of Beta must have taken place during production and PD have done games like this before! They knew how to do the rest of this game and the ones before it without our help and none of us contributed to the artistry involved either.
Most are happy with the fact that a largely great game has been released and that there is months and months of playable fun in there before reaching the bottom while others take a sip and keep spitting everywhere for some reason. There is an amazingly efficient engine surrounding that jaggy shadow if you stand back.
I intend no hostility btw, so
