I and a few friends have been experimenting with multiplayer leagues and tournaments. Along the way we found lots of things we can do to make the experience more enjoyable and fun. I'd like to post some of these.
-Obviously the first and the biggest problem is the fact that any garage cars used in multiplayer will not have ASM & TCS. So the way to go is to improve all the aspects of the cars that help the handling and leave the power for last. Then increase the power step-by-step, while testing every time to ensure that the car will still be drivable.
-Another thing to remember is that in multiplayer a garage road car, no matter how well is tuned, will only be able to have sports tyres (even if in GT mode the car is equipped with racing tyres). Only garage racing cars can use racing tyres. This is something else that needs to be taken into account.
- There could be a cash limit like 50K/100K/250K and a certain manufacturer, or country or even model of car. There could be a cap on the adjustable parts so only parts that don't require any actual setup can be used. Or there could be a limited time of 5min for the setup with the track of the player's choice enabling adjustable parts to be used. Once every player has made his car choice and is ready these same cars could be used on a selection of tracks, voted by every participant player and leagues and cups can be set up which can last days or even weeks.
- Making collections of closely matched cars is a good idea, use B-spec and pick a 3 track selection, try to have the tracks as different as possible, then keep upgrading say 4 cars and tuning them until their lap times are almost identical. This will make for very close and fun races that can sometimes be won on that last corner or straight. These replays will also be fantastic to watch.
Of course there are many more ideas and suggestions that can make the multiplayer mode more fun, more enjoyable and more competitive. Please post your ideas, suggestions, experiences and opinions. Together we can improve multiplayer mode in GT4.
I did a search but I could not find anything that matched this subject, however I apologise in advance if this topic has already been discussed.
