I think it's a shame that the game was so broken that it needs all these patches to get a solid game out of it. Patches and updates are different. Patches are for bugs and glitches, updates are to make an existing game better. This game needs both. A lot of people call it whinning or complaining, but this is a forum, where you can discuss, analyze, seek help, find answers, make friends and above all else join the community. I see these as Opinions, and everyone has a right to view their point, and not come under attack because one disagree's with another. The biggest problem with GT5 is it has no identity. Kaz wants to give us his vision, but at his dispair. Take the Ferrari F1's for instance. This is Ferraris' first go in a complete GT game. So instead of giving us a Ferrari F1 challenge or at least some usability we only get to practice with them. Until recently the Seasonal Events. To make it worse, we get Polyphony Digitals version of a F1 car, thats usable just about everywhere and a FGt series. The game restricts you so much that I think it's one of the reasons people are upset. You cannot make everyone happy, but this game needs more options when it comes to gameplay. The whole gifting thing is broken from the begining. I personaly don't care, but they limit you to only $20 mil in credits. Then to get to that amount is rediculous, to only have cars cost that much? You work for well over a month or more to get the money to have it go in one shot? Then you buy your 20 mil car and realize, since you can't test drive before you buy, that you just wasted your money (The Saleen S7 comes to mind) on a car that either handles badly or you just don't like. I've been playing Forza 3 and it's just put together better and you can almost do what you want in the game. We need rules for online because, for the life of me some people think its cool to cheat, but offline I should be able to do whatever I like to do. With GT5, In my Opinion, you can't.
