Patch 1.09 Wishlist

I'd like to be able to choose a driver right before a race, e.g: I pick the race in A-Spec or B-Spec, I do it or let Bob do it, the race finishes. Now I want to see if Bob or I can do it better. Instead of going all the way back to My Home, in to A or B-Spec and choosing the same race, I should be able to choose a new driver immediately after the race.
This and about a million other things, but I thought of this last night.
 
Here are my suggestions:

1. Be able to use standard cars in photo travel. It really doesn't make sense that only premium cars are allowed, and this is only made worse by the fact that you can see standard cars in the photo travel locations of the main menu.

I think the reason why this isn't allowed is because they no that the standard look awful so I think they're just embarrassed to give you that option
 
Okay PD if your going to limit the cars which we can send atleast let us send more than one car a day. PLEASE! Also agree with rims for standard cars, personally wheels are something which the majority of people notice and having boring 14in standard rims on your Mercedes SL 65 is just not cool!
 
There are lots of things I'd like to see, but I'll limit myself to mentioning this one item for now:

* End stop for steering wheels

When the simulated steering wheel reaches its end stop you can keep turning your physical steering wheel. In the heat of the battle this causes redundant turning of the wheel "past the end stop" and results in loss of car control as the physical wheel is in the sector where it has no further effect. Very silly. We need the FFB to provide a solid end stop, like in other games...

I want more realism - there can't be enough realism.
Today, I had a ace with a Tom's Supra, completely missed the braking point on the Madrid circuit, sticking the Supra with at least 50km/h into a chicane, fully stopping the car.

This race would have been over!

The barrier would have been moved (if not anchored), the Supra would have been totaled, I would at least have been blacked out.

Instead, I could back off, continue the race and saw in the replay, that the car had barely a scratch!

I don't ask for realistic crash modelling - car manufacturers obviously have an issue with that.
I want realism.
I want failing parts due to rough driving! Ride every lap over a big curb - you might have a suspension part breaking or your suspension setup moving.

Lean on an opponents car, damaging an CF aero part might have you fail a tire.

Of course it is frustrating, to end a race due to a failure, but that aspect belongs to racing!

What about merging A Spec, B-Spec and Photo mode entirely?

Give me the possibility, to start a race as team manager (Advanced B-Spec), as Race Engineer (real telemetrics), Photographer with full track pass, scooter/ taxi access, several platforms, to choose from, walk around, … (Advanced Photo mode).

I would like to see one upgraded standard to premium each patch - that would be great!
Don't announce which car, let the players find out ;-)
 
livery editor , 1/4 mile drag strip and limit power limiter to 15% not 50% of engine power so i can stop seeing drag racing rooms at ssr7 fill up the open lobby when i am looking for a decent room to join

First real post here, and I have a few ideas.

1: Put the gift system back to what it was.
2: Give more credits for races (Think seasonal rewards for A-Spec)
3: More Seasonal events
4: Support the G25/G27
5: Add more tracks (Silverstone, etc)
6: Allow Ferrari F1 to race A-Spec, or add more events
7: Allow wheel change to Standard cars
8: Add more wheel designs, and allow all designs to all cars
9: Allow Livery designs
10: Add more "normal cars" (BMW E39 M5, BMW E30 M3)
11: Fix the engine sounds/Exhaust tone on many cars (Not all cars sound like a Skyline)
12: I understand that PD is a Japanese company, but how is it that an 89 Civic is a premium car, and the BMW M3 GTR Race car is not???

I can go on, but none of my ideas will be used anyway, so...
 
A SAVE OPTION MID-CHAMPIONSHIP.

I was completed the B-Spec Nascar Championship last night (which I was regretting because of so many people saying how frustrating it can be), and I had won all the races except Grand Valley (2nd), and I was in 7th place at Daytona with 2 laps to go in the race and championship and boom, my electricity goes out, so I had sat through all those races and babysitting my Bob for all that time for nothing. Now, I get to go back and do it all over again. If I had been able to save, I would only have to do the Daytona race over. I can see one reason why they did not include it (people exiting before the save if they didn't get the results they wanted the first time, and they could come back in as many times as they wanted to be able to win all races), but it really needs to be added for my very reason (power outage, power surge, or even in some cases YLOD (if the save had been backed up also))
 
I wouldn't mind more aero-kit options for premium cars also. Honestly, if you can upgrade the front bumper, why can't i upgrade the back?! lol
 
Please PD! Please allow us to put rims on our standard cars. If u have to import them from past GTs just like u did with the cars then be my guest. I am tired of racing a race car that looks stock. Add more rims for premium cars too. The scarce selection really does not have much good looking rims.

That's one of two things I want for GT5. If I could get custom wheels on my standard cars, I would be thrilled.

My other wish is for about 200 more A-Spec events.:)
 
In next update I wish PD would accept that GT5 was an EPIC fail and rename it GT 4 1/2.
BECAUSE:
1.Unballanced Credits income to car prices
2.Lack of events.
3.Online racing is from past - I cant recall any racing game wich took so long to match a room and connect to server
4.NO drifting events in A-Spec ( with credits and exp. points)
5.Enviroment visual effects are from 90's game industry
6.Short A-Spec career life
7.Al SUCKS
8.Easy win races
9. Twenty millions credits limit is LOL
10. 40 level limit in A and B-Spec doesnt make game progress challenging
 
Other then a save for endurance races(and I can see the reason not to... they are endurance races after all).

More cars and track would be nice too, some GT classics would be nice, but I don't need or expect this either.
 
I think a standard car wheel system would be pretty easy to implement, and if they made the same selection of wheels for every car, we should be able to paint them.
 
Ditch A-Spec and the whole driving aspect of GT5 because there are cheaters who use rubberband grinding to earn money!

Make B-Spec the only mode of the game!

Yep, spot on! That's the mindset of PD. I'm sure this will get patched soon.
I mean, if someone's abusing a feature, we might as well remove it entirely for everyone. right?

As others have said, you should expect a job offer from PD soon.

This. It also sucks that you have to do the FGT races in ONE GO, leaving your playstation turned on until you're done with all races.
 
Revert tire selection and PP points back to 1.06 (why doesn't tire selection matter for PP....) Now you have to tune every car to racing softs, and personally I don't like buying racing softs for non-race cars. The tires cost more than many lower level cars......

Save mid-championship/mid-endurance race (Pit, Save, quit, must resume when the game comes back on).
