that's already in there.
go into Practice from the GTLife screen.

it keeps the best 10 laps you do on a track.
Actually it keeps the best lap from 10 sessions which produced the best laps. If you were to run the X1 10 times it would fill the board.

Would be nice if it recorded only the top time in any given car at least you could have your top 10 cars listed.
 
Honestly, I dont understand why people complain about restrictions. If you feel that you shouldnt be able to bring a lambo to a cappachino race then dont race the same car the AI is. A good portion of threads are people complaining...if its so bad stop playing.

Im not trying to stir anything up I'm just saying.
 
I'd like the ability to set fuel level pre race rather than always starting on full tank. Also race generator similar to GTPSP. All I do now is the Ring but hard to find competitive 2 to 3 lap race, with the JAG being in the dream car champ race.
 
All I want is GT4 with GT5 graphics. I liked GT4 better, lots of tracks to choose from, you could customize any car and it wasn't repetetive and boring like this one. I'm at 94% right now and have completely lost interest.
For me, I enjoyed customizing the "regular cars" in GT4. I could care less about online stuff, guess I'm just old school.
 
you do realise that you don't HAVE to take the most powerful car you have into a race just because it's unrestricted, right? this game is as easy or hard as you want it to be.

i mean, if you don't want to take the X2010 in the SuperGT series in Extreme with a bunch of JGTC cars... don't.

That's not the point. It shouldn't be allowed, period. I don't personally race like that, I just feel like it would make the game about 10x as engaging if certain races forced you to comply with certain restrictions. Similiar to how the Seasonal Events were before the powers-that-be decided to dumb them down. Now they are basically just a crapload of free xp/$$$.

I shouldn't have to TRY to make the game challenging, it should do that itself.

Completely agree. The game can be as hard/easy as you want.

Nobody in here is complaining. What I don't understand is why certain posters feel the need to even create posts like this. The Seasonal Events were really fun initially.....guess why....they gave you set rules, your job was to find a car, tune it and win within those restrictions. That's what racing is all about. I'm not a fan of the "well if you don't want to race *insert super car* against *insert economy car* then don't do it". The point is to be immersed in the game. I want it to feel like I'm actually out there competing. They were much closer to getting that right in previous games then they were in this game.

I'm pretty sure all of us still enjoy this game, otherwise we wouldn't be spending valuable seconds of our day to come to this forum. That doesn't mean I'm not going to critique and constructively criticize certain aspects of this game.
 
I just want them to fix the online bugs. Like Blackscreen messed up leader boards and laggy full rooms. I know this has alot to do with others connections so it will probably not happen other than that the game is awesome.
 
everything except one thing id like to see has already been said,but id like to have private numberplates.I know its really petty but id like to just have the choice of what numberplate i have coz i get fed up with just seeing the car model on them.Plus it kinda makes it more yours,even if theres a car same make model and colour as yours it wont have same plate on it,maybe some kinda marketplace for private plates would be cool.ok im getting carried away now:dopey:
 
What SJames052 said.

1. Oil change should be in the tuning section
2. Tuning section should be re-done to work like the GT Auto body parts section. That is, you tick which parts you want to buy/install then click an "apply" button once and the game automatically buys and installs all the parts you've ticked. I absolutely loathe the seemingly hundreds of button clicks one needs to go through just to buy/install parts. The different categories (suspension, engine, transmission, etc) should be separated by tabs, just like the GT Auto body parts section (front, rear, extension, wing, etc).
3. Tuning section should be available from the garage
4. Garage should be available from the menu just before the race. Once again it's stupid that in practice mode I can't load a track once, and once only, then simply be able to change my car without having to exit the track, go to the main menu, go to the garage, change my car, go back to main menu and then back to practice at my track.

Seriously.. what were the designers thinking!?

In my opinion, the tuning and mechanic/oil change should be in or directly available from the garage, and the garage should be available before a race in "settings." That way, if different tires are desired, it'd be simple just to go directly to the store and buy them, the same with every other tuning option. To me, this would simply involve a rearrangement of the program's folders.

It would also be nice if car's had a record of oil changes and mechanical work, maybe even like a GT5 Carfax.
 
All I really want to see are online race restrictions which I've seen a couple of people post up. Be able to join a race and say only so and so tyres only 300 bhp only japanese cars or have some performance rating like on Forza. I only got GT5 because I could race my favourite cars online unlike on Forza (cos the cars are crap and I have always played GT5).

BRING BACK BALLAST! (and maybe NO2 LOL)

A little more customization for cars. ie. "there are no aero parts for this car" WHY?! It slides like a Michael Jackson it needs a spoiler!

Alloys for standard cars....why not?

Re-race events and win the car again like GT4 makes it easier to grind seeing as this seems to be the whole aim of this game for some stupid reason.

Anyone like to add to my list?

Thanks

Have you played other racing games besides GT? This sounds like such an obvious request for the update, with the exception you make me laugh......"Would be nice if it recorded only the top time in any given car at least you could have your top 10 cars listed." Only 10, we have over 1000 cars in this game and PD can only manage 10 time slots per track...garbage:ouch:. Other games ie FM3 have no issue with only recording my best lap of the session, so I don't have multiple times for the same car in one session. Also my best overall time goes up on the worldwide leaderboard. This is 2011, 10 slots would have been fine in GT3 or even GT4, but come on its freakin ridiculous.👎 Unlimited or 100 slots might be more appropriate.
 
Check my sig :sly: You can use as much or as little of it that you want 👍

Sorry I'm missing the point of the race generator in your sig ... please explain ... is it just something to do in practice?
 
I shouldn't have to TRY to make the game challenging, it should do that itself.

Answer me this buddy. Ever played any game where there is a 'beginners/easy/medium/hard/expert' selection? Do you always choose 'beginner' and complain how easy the game is? Because that's exactly what you are complaining about here.
 
Id like to be able to send replays and ghost data to friends either in game or by exporting and attaching to a msg, something i tried the other day..whilst i can export to XMB, can't do much with it other than d'load onto USB stick.
 
1. please bring back some of the old classic tracks. i miss driving on midfield raceway.
2. let us place wheels on the standard vehicles! i don't understand why that would be such a hard thing to fix in an update.

Of course I have played other games My point which you missed was that if the limited leader board did not record several laps set by the same car it would be better as you could have 10 different cars there. Forza does something like this in that they only have 1 time recorded per class. Forza 2 also had local leaderboards which recorded the top 10 times per class.

I would like to see a complete set of online leaderboards of course. Local leaderboards really have limited usage so the top 10 is fine. Forza 3 does not even keep local leaderboards at all.

Forza 2 had the best leaderboard system that I have saw to date.
 
I see what you mean. I didn't realize FM3 didn't have local leaderboards, don't do nearly as much test and tune on FM3 as I do on GT5, thought they still had it from Fm2.👍

No he is 100% correct, even extreme is ridiculously easy to complete!

It is easy because there is no restrictions. When you run a high power car with soft race tires that is the same as setting the difficulty to easy especially so if you also use skid recovery and/or active steering.

Try running the Historic Race car race with Hard or Med Tires and no added Turbo in anything other than the 2J or Toyota 7 or run the FGT race on Hard tires.

Soft tires + upgraded car = easy
Med tire non upgraded car = medium
Hard tires + no oil change and no skid recovery or active steering = hard

Weakest car in field with hard tires = expert.
 
I like the idea of a random race generator, depending on what car you're driving. It would be nice if they did that and power matched the cars to you! I feel like there isn't a lot of challenge against the AI cars. Having closer matched races would be nice, plus the same old races get old! Having it all be a surprise would be awesome!

It would also be nice if damage was always a factor, visual included, but the fact that I can plow into the AI cars or the wall, and keep going, kinda takes the challenge away as well. It would be awesome if you and the computer had to deal with the wrong moves you've made. This also factors in the AI cars would need to be smarter and not just run into you when you're in the best line at the same time they should be.

I'm also up for the idea of having to maintain/repair the cars after extended periods or collisions. If you had to keep the car up to shape, it would definately add to the games realism as well as challenge.

But most of all, I'd really like there to be more races, that arn't the same old predictable events. Some Randomness with more equal opponents!

Give that man a gold star!
 
Switchable kph/mph readouts on premium interior views. All super gt cars have kph readouts only. Makes the hud off feature kinda pointless.
 
So this is just a wishlist now? OK. No graphics updates, no car stuff, definitely no premium car stuff, just give us an event generator.
