Well after getting the game yesterday and working through missions and tests, and keep getting the trying to reconnect to server rubbish, should the online saving be axed?
It's almost like people are unsure about this......... The voting is really close!!!
Sod that. The insistence on being online to save is a cock up!!!Even my usual banter self had to be serious on this one
Yep 100% with youSod that. The insistence on being online to save is a cock up!!!
Online save should be for sport mode and SR/DR only. All the rest should be offline.
Basically the game checks everything to make sure you're not tampering with it. That means your profile - your game save - is always online.I don’t even understand the purpose of the online save.
All power to Polyphony/Sony for checking whether players are tampering with game saves - remember GT5, GT Academy. We live in hope that a future patch will be made available, when saner heads prevail...Basically the game checks everything to make sure you're not tampering with it.

But why that couldn't have been achieved with syncing escapes me.
Definitely, Yes. Offline content do not need online saving. It should be exclusively for Sport mode and online lobbies. Syncing your offline data to their server when it only needed is the most efficient way.
Agreed, and on top on that, they should've used the advanced encryption techniques for offline save, with a unique key that generated randomly for each PSN account and are renewed anytime the game updates or even issued server-side when connected online.Basically the game checks everything to make sure you're not tampering with it.

I think that PDs main reason for doing things this way is to prevent cheating from the idiot hax0rs who find ways to mess with their saves.
