Why does the game auto-save so much? Is this of concern to anyone with a 'Launch Model' PS3?
So much redundant auto-saving is a waste of time; when much of game activity can be saved with one click of the 'Save' button.
Among them:
-loading up the game
-going into GT Life
-leaving game idle in GT Life (I swear I saw it auto-save when doing nothing)
-getting into a car (that's expected)
-setting some rudimentary options
-clicking on messages in Community
-all pop-up advisory
-claiming prize cars (3-4x on average):indiff:
-loading a race
-exiting a race
-exiting a race without actually racing
-updating used car lot
-claimed a prize car and used lot gets updated at same time (requires separate saves)
-getting a car wash/oil change
-buying parts in GT Auto (requires auto-save with a 'Updating Car Data' pop-up)
-exiting GT Auto after doing nothing
-buy and install tuning parts
-exiting tuning shop after doing nothing
 
Not a huge fan of autosave myself. What I don't understand is why autosave in the title screen? Forza 3 does that too. No one's doing anything in a title screen, so why bother? It just makes the game load a lot longer.
 
Same for connection to psn. Did you ever try not to?
Start game "Do you want to connect?" No
after loading "Do you want to connect?" No
klick on GT mode "Do you want to connect?" No?
I think one time is enough. In some areas you can see that no one tested the Game. It seems to me that they just didn´t have the time to do so?
