Lets call the duck a duck!

What do I call this duck? "GT6 DLC cash grab edition!" I have put 2000 some miles on the single player in gt6 and I own every car in GT5 with a couple mil to spare and one thing is clear to me. It's damn near imposable to win a race in IA+ unless you have the car the game expects you to win with. "What car is that?" you may ask, usually the one that is 1.2m++ credits. If you don't have the expected car plan on getting sudden loss of grip, power limiting, or in the rare case you cut the track and get ahead of the car in the lead rammed off the track once the car behind super rubber bands and catches up. So break out the wallets and hand over the cash to Sony or get ready to grind forever to get those last few cars because your not getting past "super" without them no matter how much you tune on that ZR1 or GTR.

The most annoying thing is the way the AI seems to run like rabbits then suddenly they are break happy fools. They are programed to let you by at cretin points in the race and it's so painfully obvious. All of a sudden you have a grill full of the car ahead of you because he slammed his breaks in the apex of a turn to give you his place in the race.

IMO the entire game is rigged to get you to spend you hard earned cash on credits. From the dumb AI to the watered down economy, it's all a setup to get your cash. I'm very sad to say that it has taken a good racing game and pitted the player against the Sony cash cow instead of the car in front of you.

I have yet to see anyone complain about the AI being hard to win against? What tires are you using? Sports hards?
If so grab some Sports Softs or Racing Hard tires, you will win everytime.

Really, you can win in ANY car in this game. I only use Sports hard or Comfort Soft tires to make things a little interesting.

Mostly true that you can only win races with a handful cars within a given race PP range but there are players that do it with lower PP cars than what you would expect. It really just depends on what car the rabbit is and how good/how OCD you are about winning with a different car than the 'easy one' that wins a race.

WELCOME TO THE GT SERIES RABBIT RACES!!! Yeah I hate the problem with rabbit AI also but GT6 and the 'lets slow down and let the player win' strategy sucks even more; now instead of being frustrated I'm being insulted.

I think GT6 IS a little rigged to motivate players to use the microtransaction economy and buy game credits with real money. Right now I think PD and their Sony masters - that's right, I said it...Kaz and PD have a master and it's name is Sony - are seeing if we will actually go for the easy money or just grind and see what happens with updates. Personally I think if we don't use the microtransaction system, PD will eventually start changing the payouts like they did in GT5 when the 2.0 updates were released. If a lot of people are going for the easy credits then we'll never see bigger payouts in races and be forced to grind or pay.

Quack.

Don't get me wrong I'm still playing this game and having fun with it. It's just maddening to loose 30mph in the straight because your doing to well in a race. Try Monza and bang you way to about 5th on the fist lap. On the start of the start/finish line straight it's like somebody has a banana in your tail pipe. Once you hear that little timer ding as you cross the line its gone and your back at normal power just in time to get on the breaks again.

Quack indeed.

Just look at the pay-outs versus the cost of the "high-value",super expensive halo cars in this game.......do the math,there is no way grinding will allow you to purchase all the $20 million dollar cars without using the micro-transactions. You could be grinding for years to collect all of them.....

Honestly, I don't see the point of buying any one of these 20 mil. Cr. 'legendary' cars after I got to try them all out in GT5. The LMP and Group C race cars are all just 2 million credits each anyways, so once the chassis rigidity issue is sorted out I'll focus on those instead.
