What I'm talking about is when it displays the interval between you and the 1st place guy (for those of you that ever get in that position). I hate the color they picked to show that. I mean when you're in the lead it shows a nice blue color, but when you are behind it shows that annoying red color which makes it hard sometimes to tell how far back you are. Anyone else notice this or am I the only one?
 
Yeah, I hate this too. That red color makes the number really hard to read. Maybe they'll think about this in GT4.
 
Um, I'm not quite sure what you're talking about... just where is it?

[edit]: AH! Just figured it out... yes, it's very hard to read, but I usually don't read it anyway... I prefer to just watch the pretty dots moving across the map. :D
 
it bothers me just a bit,of course,im never in last with my viper :D

True though but I like to know exactly how far away I am and if I'm getting closer or not.
 
I hate how the Replay is the first option u can select, not race. who are all these people watching replays before every race?

Exactly what I was thinking. They should of put the race option first, not that replay option. I doubt that many people have chosen that replay option.

I'm sure plenty have, but my mistake because of where they put the option! I hate its positioning as well. The Red numbers certainly aren't the easiest to see. The fact that I'm colour blind doesn't help matters, as the red numbers quite often blend in with background colours!
 
I too vote for a revision of the color for these numbers.

Perhaps in stead PD could put a list on the left hand side of the screen that shows current times of the cars.

It could show a small thumbnail of the car, and it's time difference from first place. Much like they show your Best, last, prior lap times on the right hand side. Much like having a crew chief reading the other cars times IRL.

My thoughts.

What annoys me is that you cannot see the time difference between you and the second place man when you lap them. I at least want to know how many laps I am in front so I can see how much I am thrashing them by!
 
I don't think I ever had the red light show up... :lol:
 
I can read it alright.......
 
i brought the ps2 over my friends house, and the red letters were perfectly readable on his tv. crystal clear. i dont know what the deal is, because at my house they seem thick and fuzzy.
 
I don't really have a problem reading red numbers, it doesn't happen too often :rotfl:

Also, having a listing of times to compare your lap times to the other cars would help in scheduling pit stops, tire usage, and other need-to-know information. Great idea!
 
i also hate how manufacturer/car info scrolls across the screen in a bar. i liked it better when it had a whole page, like in GT2.
 
i dont really read them.....;)
 
i like reading every now and then. i like to learn a little about cars i dont know about, and i always like to read what they put about cars im familiar with. its just a pain to read a whole page worth through the scrolling bar.
 
I never had that problem with the AI drivers, (Second) ha ha.
 
i thinks its okay, but everyoone is entitled to their own opinion.....
