Changing difficulty setting results in no changes to game play...

I've been a fan of GT since GT1 and 2. Though it's been several years since I played playstation, I still was decent with most games. I'm using a stock PS5 Controller. I've been able to achieve my super license and I'm 4/39 with the menu books. I've made all this progress on the normal setting (which is default). Yet I'm stuck now and no matter what I've tried, I can't seem to progress. I even dropped $350k on the Ferrari 458 Italia GR4 (as some mentioned using it in YT videos) yet still no difference for the UK Brands Hatch GT Cup GR.4 5 lap race. I've come in 3rd on normal and easy. I believe I also got 3rd with the Supra GR.4.

I don't understand why this game sucks so much...? Like it shouldn't be this difficult to get to a point in the game where you can free drive and use whatever car and track you want to have fun. It appears to be missing arcade mode (or it's blocked) until you meet a certain standard... Yet I don't know why it's soo hard to complete the menu books. I mean I can't even mod any of the cars, yet when I tried looking for help on videos, all the people were talking about modding the car to gain the advantage to win.

Is there a way to reach out to GT7 to let them know that I have no noticeable differences on normal or easy. I haven't tried hard, but I guess that would confirm there's an all around error. I mean would think that as you go further in the game, then it would naturally become more challenging. Yet this game sucks right from the start.

I'm just voicing my frustration, as this game really does suck compared to the previous ones. And of course the graphics and sounds are amazing... yet if you can't enjoy the process, but rather be stuck not able to make progress, it's like a useless game. I looked for cheat codes and couldn't find any. It'd be nice to play the arcade mode right from the start vs being tied up in quests that are extremely challenging to get low level cars. I could understand more if it was for high level super cars, but dang I can't even finish the menu book to get all of the Japanese FF sports cars. And the races you have to complete (well at least on my screen are all with higher level cars, not with low level cars to win the FF series and complete the menu book) What sense does this make?

Possibly my account is jacked up, there is a glitch or the game is just screwed up. Any advice you could offer is welcomed....

I don't mean to offend any devout vans, I'm just spent with how they setup this game... It's missing the variables and levels to catch every level of gaming ability.

Did you even think about searching posts in this forum? All the rants you had just posted have been posted before.
Suggestion, come up with a name here that doesn't give others the idea that everything you post here will be negatively seen...

Third in a race is enough to progress - but more importantly Menu Book 4 has nothing to do with Gr.4 cars or Brands Hatch. It's the High Speed Ring Track Day Championship, which takes place at High Speed Ring.
 
You need to go back to doing menu books. The GT Cup Races are BOP and end game races, they are not meant to be done when you have completed 4 menu books. BOP races are not impacted by difficulty level, neither are missions. If you see chili peppers on races do those after you have done everything else in game. That is why you are hitting a wall so early.
 
@WhyGT7Sucks

Couple of things.

The race you are attempting is a 2 chilli pepper race. This means it has a fixed difficulty so changing the difficulty setting won't make any difference.

Finishing 3rd is always enough to progress the game, so not sure what your problem is there.

As already pointed out, menu book 4 has nothing to do with this race.

Lastly, I jumped in and did the race cold with a stock Ferrari 458 Italia Gr.4. Took the lead at the start of lap 3, won by 13.8 seconds and wasn't even driving well.

There's help here if you want it but perhaps change your attitude. And probably your edgy username.

Changing your username costs $3.99, so unfortunately I don't think that's a viable, feasible option. As the former, we will see...
Nope.

Users with less than 10 posts can also now change their usernames in their account settings. Many new users register with typos or mistakenly reveal personal information in their usernames, then need help or create multiple accounts in an effort to rectify the error.
