Well IMHO PD needs to be more thorough next time. Whether you all like it or not NASCAR IS a part of this game and it was totally halfassed in this game. They only have a few cars in it and only have 2 actual NASCAR tracks. It needs to have all the tracks and it needs to have all the cars. Also this is a game of realism, and it is true that those cars are extremely fast but on Daytona they are restricted so they can't go that fast. Yea going 230 mph in a NASCAR stock car is fun but not realistic.
Same thing with rally, there needs to be more rally tracks. Not just a few special events. There needs to be more events in general. I also really enjoyed the special events and wish there were more. Licenses need to be implemented more better. They actually need to represent something in the game. I feel like having these top visuals aren't so much necessary, yea good graphics are important in this day and age but I can sacrifice a few thousand polygons per car in order to add more content. Not sure if they were having issues with fitting it all but I heard there was, correct me if I'm wrong please. I want more tracks, I miss some of the tracks from previous GT's as well as I would personally like a better create your own track. Where I can create everything personally, not by tweaking some numbers.
Another big one I would like to see is a better tire model. Look at upcoming games such as rfactor 2 tire deformation or iracing 2.0. It's the next big thing in racing games and I feel is a must to stay competitive with the realism the pc sims provide us.
Don't get me wrong I absolutely love this game, but I also heard somewhere that this game was released 2 years before Kaz wanted it to be, again correct me if I am wrong, though the wait time was rediculous, it is kinda obvious that the game was rushed. I hope when the next game releases, it is what this one should have been.
Ooh and one more thing. Get rid of some of these stupid cars. What would you rather drive a Ferrari or Lambo, or some stupid slow ass car like a fiat 500 or the tank car. Yea some of those cars can be cool but at the same time they are quite dumb imho. Multiple skylines with hardly any differences, civics, etc, not necessary. I would also like more custom exterior options, body kits, rims, wings, in general to give you a more sense of personality per car.
This is just my .02 cents so please criticize what you think (I am pretty resilient so you won't hurt my feelings) or feel free to add. Thanks.

p.s. What are your thoughts on the PP system. I think it should extend into racing tires, suspension upgrades and drivetrain stuff also, not just power. It then makes more strategy in certain divisions. For instance you can run a high horsepower car with less handling vs. less hp cars with more handling in say a 500 pp race class. Just something to think about. Thanks again for reading.
edit: Better crash physics online, especially rollover ones. The rollovers I see now do not look natural at all.
