1. I am a newbie
2. I am OLD! (40's)

So please don't crush me for posting something in the wrong place or what not.

I have just completed the cafe, which was ABSURD at best. Now what? I am a single player mode kinda dude. I have no interest in racing against a 10yr old Japanese kid who's PP500 car is kicking my 600PP butt so any mode like that is out of the question. I long for the previous versions where the single player modes were deep! Wasn't that something that was promised in GT7? I could be wrong. If anyones knows of this occurring in future updates please advise. You kids are way better at gleaning future updates then I am. Thanks
 
Have you done all the races ? There are some besides café events.

And if you are brave enough you can try to do all missions even gold them. Same for circuit experience. It should keep you busy for a few years if you don't lose your motivation 😅
 
That's a question only you can answer. We each use the game in different ways. I'm a collector sort, so I want to eventually have all the cars. I also just simply want to get better at the in game tracks. I know I never be a world championship contender like maybe some folks are here and I'm fine with that. Like you, I'm more in it for the offline experience. I'll re-run a race multiple times with the same car not necessarily to JUST get the money, but I want to tune the car better and improve my lap times. Once I feel I have a setup for a car and track, I move on to the next car maybe using the same track.

More is coming starting next month per Polyphony, so just a little patience and the game will improve. I've completed the Café tasks as well, but I'm far from feeling like I'm done with the game.
 
Yeah, circuit experiences, license tests, missions, just enough to keep you occupied before Polyphony drops more events soon.
 
Complete the higher level licenses, do the other world circuit races you have access to, do the missions, do the circuit experience, look through the trophy list and work towards any you don't have yet, do music rally, wait for PD to patch more content into the game.

I'm at a point where I just do the most profitable races each day until I get the daily workout prize ticket and then go play other games while waiting for PD to add more content or at least increase payouts to where it feels more worth my time to grind for credits.
 
Make custom races with selected cars from your own garage...you can tune those cars(unforunatly not the tires) to make an intersting and competetive starting grid...

Time trials with your cars comparing like for like, mods vs no mods, Supercar stock versus tuned to the nuts hot hatch, rallying stupid cars against the AI, Lobbies when they are fixed (it doesn't have to be serious racing it can be chill and a good laugh). Taking pics, doing liveries.

If you like cars there are SO MANY things you can do with GT. If you dont like cars and are just a completionist you might be a bit out of luck after the Missions, Licenses, world circuits, circuit experience :) .
 
PD really needs to add extra chapters as post-launch content and feature more Gr.4/Gr.3/LMP/endurance racing in the career mode. Sure there are some things to do (licences, missions, circuit experience, single/custom races, multiplayer), but not everyone's going to enjoy them after they've bought GT7 hoping to play a career mode.

Have you golded all the Licences?
Have you golded all the Circuit Experiences?
Have you golded all the Mission events?
Have you golded all the World Circuit events?
 
Like I said.....single player mode is where it's at for me. I have completed all but the S License, which I probably will never complete because I like to use all of the track....ALL of the track! Which also kinda screws me in most Mission races. And to be honest, the scapes and pics do nothing for me. I'm probably wishing at the wind here....... Again, I thought had read somewhere leading up to launch that PD was going back to a "deeper single mode" experience. Again could be wrong. And where is Grand Valley? Wasn't that "promised" too? Appreciate all the replies!

Many of us aren't "kids" who play GT. Hell, there are plenty of us older folks who have been gaming to some extent most of our lives. .....like me since the 70s. The day I received my AARP application in the mail was the first day I really started feeling "old" and that was few years ago. .....so to me, 40's isn't old. ;)

I'm not really big on multiplayer either in the sense of competing with randoms. Its simply frustrating for me not because of sill levels, difficulty, competitiveness or anything of that sort but simply due to the trolls and bad sportsmanship I've encountered. ....and a lack of a penalty system that can effectively deal with that. Racing with a group would be a different story but none of my PSN friends are into racing games like this.

....so, as a single player dude, after I completed the Cafe menus I went back to each track and started to finish the races that were not part of the menu. I also replayed those that I may not have finished in first place either because I didn't have a good car at the time, wasn't able to afford the mods I wanted, etc.

I also have been buying and modding new cars to replay some of the championships / races. ....spending time in the livery editor and so on. I revisited the license test and finished those, playing new missions, finishing the track experiences and so on. I haven't really even started with custom races yet which hopefully will pay out better in the update next month.

To be honest, I spent most of my time in the Custom races in GT Sport creating GT4 and GT3 races. The cool thing about GT7 is that we can now pick and choose our competition from our own garage so I'll likely be creating some form of classic TransAm events. I'm currently working on my collection of those classic cars.
 
Currently making my way to all gold in the mission races, then after that will likely be the circuit experiences followed by the random events I haven't run.
 
The game was released unfinished with an intention to add later, that’s just what GaaS stuff do.

GT Sport ended up with like 300 races in lots of different cups. Would have been nice to get those too. Getting all gold in licenses gives you a Redbull X2019 with no eligible races at the moment, so it’s just missing content.

Do the 600,700,and 800 PP limit races along with the Clubman Cup Plus and Gr 3 races. They are far more challenging than anything in the cafe.

What does "ALL of the track!" mean? I don't mean to sound rude, but if that means riding the walls and cutting corners, then GT might not be what you're looking for. The track limits aren't overly restrictive for the S License and Missions. Those as well as the circuit experience are all single player.

Just my opinion, but a lot of the fun is working through the harder parts to achieve golds. If you have no problem doing that, then you'd have no problem racing against 10 yr olds online.

But yeah, more content is on the way. Not sure exactly what format it will be in though. GT Sport added a lot of content int the months/years after launch and seems like we can expect the same for GT7.
