I spoke about this with GT4, overall I have always loved the GT series and have owned and used every version since it was first released all those years ago, I love the cars, the game play and the car dynamics.......
But for Pity's sake can some one at PD please relook at the penalty system,
It is very flawed in how it dishes out penalty's to you.
1. Going down the main straight on Suzuka, I am rammed from behind by a faster car, I was not blocking them or braking, I was on the left at full throttle.
I get hit with a 4 sec penalty for Ramming!?!
2. High speed ring - I am on the high side of the fast left turn off the main straight, a corvette rams me on the inside 3 second ramming penalty, this forces me to the wall, 4 second penalty for the barrier strike
3. A car in the distance spins out into the gravel, as I approach he pulls back into the line of cars, I suspected that this may happen, so I do my best to give him room, he drives across the track, I give him a nudge (I had no where to go to avoid him) Ramming penalty for 5 seconds, he drives off at full speed. I do nothing wrong, yet I get bent over!
4. Barely touch the grass anywhere, Penalty 4 seconds for cutting corners, Yet the AI cars can do it at whim, no punishment!!
5. Forced off track by AI car, graze the wall, penalty 4 seconds for barrier strike, yet I deliberately drive flat out into a wall on the same track and same race (testing the theory) nothing!!
This penalty system is very flawed and seems to be very inconsistent, and I feel it is ruining a very good game because it so illogical, they got in wrong in the first prolouge a number of years ago, but at least you knew how and why you got a penalty, this one is pot luck in it's judgement of a racing incident vs trying to cheat by cutting corners or biffing and bargeing
PD, must try harder!!
