For me the single player game is really just a mind numbing chore, same as it's always been with GT. They really need to work on the single player game, give it an actual focus, an actual sense of progression which equates to far more than just levelling up and getting more credits (both of which happen at an incredibly slow rate, combined with some ridiculous car prices). They could really make the single player game into something worth playing, rather than having a completely disparate set of events, which you can enter massively overpowered cars into to just run away with a win, instead focus it, really build up and make sure you're in comparable cars. I'd love to play a proper race weekend, you know, practice on a track, learn the braking points, then qualify and then have a real meaningful race, one where I might not always be guaranteed to win. I can do this now, but it's not enforced and it should be. With GT5 it's all content and no structure, it literally has not progressed one jot since GT1 and that's a bit sad in face of the competition. Competition which balls up the handling and maybe goes over the top in some elements of presentation, but competition which can at least structure a fun game out of it.
All I want to do is go into practice mode, in my favourite cars on my favourite tracks, and if I can race against fair decent racers online, no one going backwards or using the FGT all the time. My main issue right now is that playing the game seems almost futile as the credits I'd receive for doing anything, even some of the endurance races, is pitiful, and I basically I want the F10, I want some of the other nice and overly expensive cars in this game but as I can see it it will literaly take me months of grinding to get anywhere.
B-Spec is so uninvolving I don't see why it has been included apart from giving people a chance to set their PS3 on autopilot and grind for credits, which is really not what this game should be about. The seasonal events were massively heling me get close to buying some of the cars I really want to play around with, but now it seems it's back to rubbish amounts of credits and I made the mistake of blowing 4 mil. on the FGT in the hopes of grinding Indy Dream Car or something, but now I don't really have much interest in doing that as it will still take several hours to get all those credits back and more just so I can buy the one or two cars left I really want. I payed my money, I wish they'd just release a DLC Path for a nominal fee to unlock all the cars, I'd be very happy with that, that's how I want to play, the main game is so utterly appalling that it's no fun to actually play anyway, so just give me the content in the game, please!
