Hi,

Im trying to complete the game with a perfect 100% winning ratio.

I have got gold in every race and all now after doing 41.9% of the game the 100% went to 99.9 then later after doing a couple of races its gone to 100% and then one more race and its back to 99%? ????

Can someone help me on this one.. I have the Japanese ver

:confused: Rephrase your question, it doesn't make any sense... If you are only 41% done where is the 99%/100% appearing?

Oh wait, I just reread the post... :guilty: 100% WINNING ratio. I thought you meant 100% of the game completed. Sigh. Since I have about a 60% winning ratio I won't be much help there. (I try each car stock to see if I can win and only upgrade if necessary, so I get a lot of losses). I bet it is some kind of rounding error, though.

He means that his win ratio has changed from 99% to 100% not his game completion.

Seems very wierd though, might be a glitch.
 
I suspect somewhere along the line you have lost a race. It is probably alternating due to rounding - if it is 99.4% it will show 99 if it is 99.5% it will show 100%.

Are you sure nothing you have done has registered as a loss ?
 
Its wins divided by races, are ya sure you haven't lost one race some where along the way? :odd:
 
Win ratio reads to one significant figure. Mine is 96.8% and is very slowly going higher.
If you have won all your races it can be nothing else than 100%. If yours is showing 99.9% it means you have lost a race somewhere.
 
i personally dont care bout win ratios. So jopjop, whenever you are about to lose a race do you just reset the ps2? so that race doesnt count in the win ratio?

win ratios get harder to raise the more races you do it seems
 
It doesn't make sense that the win ratio drops unless you just lost a race. If you have 450 wins in 451 races, and you get another win, your percentage doesn't decrease when you win another race (getting the scores to 451 wins/452 races).

I don't understand how that happens.

btw, I don't care about that ratio. I used to have it in the high 70's (about 78% I guess) until I started to really work on my A-Spec points. I guess my percentage should be, by now, about 55% :dopey:

And I expect it to get lower, considering that now I quit any race where I get less than 160 A-Spec points. And that sometimes I have to try more than once to get the win with an undepowered car.

I never reset.
 
It sounds to me like some kind of error with the game. I don;t think anyone can say the car is totally bug free.

I guess a true sign of how good you really are is your win % in relation to your A spec points. The higher these two figures are will prove just how good your really are at the game......so long as you don't reset the PS2 if you are about to lose a race.

Not really, no, considering how you may run a particular series/championship/endurance multiple times (accruing A-Spec point in the process) and how one often enters/exits a race to change the AI grid, win % and A-Spec points become meaningless rather quickly.

you only get a-spec points once for the race. if you run a race second time, and it is valued at the same or lower a-spec points than you got first time, you get none.
if you re-run the race, and its valued at more a-spec than you got before, you will only get the difference between those 2 a-spec scores.

so, 1st run of race A for 25 a-spec pts. - you get 25 points
2nd run same race for 20 a-spec points - you get nothing [cos its less than 25 you already got]
3rd same race for 50 a-spec points - you only get 25, cos 25 you had already,

Yes okay, sorry I wasn't thinking when I typed that. But my point still stands, in that A-Spec points and win % are a poor indicator of anything. Someone has max A-Spec points? Wow, I guess they spent a lot of time rerunning races to max their points out. Does this make them good? Sure, but consider the difference between him and the guy who got 90% A-Spec points on the first try. How do you equate the two using these metrics?

You can't.

win ratio is an indicator of only one thing - how often you reset your ps2. there is absolutely no point in taking it under consideration when judging whos better driver. a-spec points are questionable, because there are tricks to get very easy 200pts. per race [dodge ram for example], and also, because they do not adequately reflect the difficulty of the race. there are 200pts races that you can win with your eyes closed, and 10pts races that you will have to run few times to win. so, imo, none of the above, win ratio or a-spec points, is an indicator of driving skill. the only one i can think of are leaderboards. the time you get for a lap, compared to times posted there will let you know, more or less, how good you are.
 
At the end of the day if somone has a higher win ratio and higher a spec points who DOES not reset their PS2, then they are going to be a bit handy at GT4. The only flaw with this is that you can never prove if they reset their PS2 or not. So my point still stands.
 
if you are willing to take someone's word for it, that's cool.
i'd prefer to see the time for a lap and a replay of that.

personally, i only care if i win with my friends. or with ai on diff.10 in family cups 'cos that's how i test my cars, just race them.
 
The alternating percentages are NOT due to some kind of rounding error. As long as you're winning, your percentage should stay the same or go up, never down. Even if you lost one race, your percentage would NOT go down to 99 then back to 100 then down to 99, etc. I agree with most of the people that it's some kind of odd bug. If you're still seeing 100% from time-to-time chalk it up to a glitch and and just know "inside" that you have 100% :)

As as for those knocking on 100% winning percentage, no offense, but who cares whether you think that's a good measure of skill or not? OP wants 100%, he paid for the game, so don't knock it. Seeing as how this is all virtual anyway, your A-Spec points, B-Spec, Winning percentage, etc mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about how good a driver you are. Chances are, if you actually got in one of these cars and tried to take it around a track like you do in GT4, you'd be in the hospital before you could say "Aw crap. GT4 is NOTHING like driving for real". Sooo, you think A-Spec points are better, he/she thinks winning percentages are better. You know what? You're both right. Stop trying to make yourself feel better when someone else posts an impressive accomplishment.

Sorry. /rant off
