Did PD fire the staff from all previous versions and hire a bunch of teenage interns to write GT5?
Damn, this game crashes so often it's laughable.
I've only ever had 1 PS3 game crash before, and it only did it once.
So far, I would estimate GT5 has crashed on me a dozen times.
Just now I ran the Dream Car Championship. I won all the races and it got to the final screen with the flags in the background and the Exit button. Only problem was the Exit button never appeared.
Of course there was nothing I could do so I quit via the XMB and restarted.
Now not only did I not get the bonus from winning the championship, but I also lost all the money I won from the five individual races.
You mean to tell me they aren't saving the data after each race? That's stupid programming 101 errors.
There are so many cases of stupid little mistakes like this throughout the game and frankly it is inexcusable.
Forget all the features that were promised and not put in the game, forget everyone's pipe dreams about new features, they can't even get simple functionality right.
Incorrect sorting and filtering, menu settings not saving, game progress such as I just encountered not saving. I could write a huge diatribe, but we all have experienced these poorly executed functions.
How does this kind of blatant oversight make it past the QA testing on a game with the development resources that GT5 had behind it?
I can excuse the stuff like shadows, standard cars, and others where system resources could be strained, but these outright screw ups with the simple stuff are totally inexcusable in my book.
As a software developer with 20 years experience, I would fire people under me for these kinds of mistakes in a huge project, and I've never had any project come close the user base of GT5. It is embarrassing for PD to release such garbage to millions of users.

As for the topic, the game crashes online the most. If you join a room mid race, the game hangs on you. If your in race watch mode and the race ends, the game hangs.
