Seriously the only reason why I quit this game is because of the 20mil cap. It'sso stupid to put a cap. The feeling of having an abundance of credits would be awesome, but having that 20mil cap just wrecks everything! Just remove the cap or I'm going to hate gran turismo forever!

Your hatred to GT should depend on how the PD will work on the upcoming serieses, unless you have any other complaints in features other than obtainable in-game cash limit...

If You Look At My Other Recent Posts :)

You will see i have been trying to work on that haha. I am a horribly guilty of not using caps.

I almost wrote that^^ incorrectly, again.

Yea, I've noticed that in your other posts. I'm just messing with you tho.
 
The 20,000,000 credit cap is, as far as I'm concerned, no different to any other cap we could have. If it were 50,000,000 credits, then people would moan about being only able to buy two of the three 20 mil classics (Mark IV, 330 P4, XJ13) at once. If it were 75 million, then there would be moaning about being down to 0 after buying the the 20 mil classics and a Miura. There's just no winning for PD. There would probably still be moaning if there wasn't a limit at all.

Actually, setting the cap to be the same or nearly the same as the price of expensive cars creates unique and annoying problems, especially if you have something like GT5's UCD.

The biggest issue is buying a 20M cr car and then coming across one of the expensive UCD cars. You won't be able to afford it, let alone buy it and restore it. You also can't just buy one of the 20M cars and fully out fit it at the tuning shop, so you're forced to grind just to be able to swap the tires on the car.

Having a limit at all is pointless (except for finite machine memory, but 20,000,000 is no where near that, let alone 200,000,000,000). Having one that makes the game inconvenient and annoying is just stupid. The useless trophy they put with it just adds insult to injury.

As already suggested, keep a reserve of money on your B-Spec Bobs for this situation. 👍
 
No one should be trying to justify such a silly design decision. It makes absolutely no sense to impose a credit cap, no other driving game has a credit cap. I hope PD remove the credit cap in GT6
 
If the credit cap were higher, do you think that the price of the P4 and the like would be pushed up to that cap? Because I do.

So if you increase the credit cap, you have to increase the price of the cars. If it wasn't for the seasonal's the 20 mil cars would be near untouchable.

You try getting to 20 mil credits without them. Then complain that the credit cap is to low. It's been said before, PD are damned if the do and buggered if they don't. I don't like the credit cap anymore than you do, but I understand the need for it.

Following your logic, if there was no cap (and I think it should be that way), some cars would be just impossible to buy. Car prices aren't an excuse for a cap.

Obviously you didn't finish reading my post, I said I understand the need for one. The need for one is that we can have cars like these, and make them a little unattainable, although the seasonal's have changed that, the cap is too low IMO but we do need one.

I did. Taking out the cap without changing prizes won't make it any easier to get 20 millions.

What I am saying is it is TOO easy to get to the cap. So the figure is meaningless, what's the point in it if you can get to it in a single night.

I simply don't understand your point.

You say that a cap is needed, but you say "what's the point in a cap". I don't understand.

To reiterate my point. The cap is too low. Push it up a bit, raise the prices of the cars, and keep the rate of earnings.
 
How about having the big four be 25,000,000, and the cap at 30,000,000?
Then you could buy your GT40 and 2D at the same time, but still be pretty damaged.
 
nealcropper
Because what cars would be up there then? There at the cap now, why not if the cap was 40 million?

No car needs to have a price equal to the cap, nor should any car be at or near the cap in price, it's pointless and annoying.
 
Open two or three more accounts and stack credits that way, I have every car I want and 35 or 40 million on the side. I do agree with Exorcet though, makes no sense to me.

I was just thinking the same thing 💡, create multiple accounts and you can have as much money as you want....kind of like hidden overseas bank accounts :)

I also find it funny that you played through the game despite all the other way more annoying problems (clueless AI and "Bob" :banghead:), yet quit because you couldn't amass enormous wealth :confused:

Yeah, there's worse things than a 20million credit cap.
 
The cap serves no useful purpose.

In the past I have came across games that can only store 6 or 9 digit numbers for cash, and this made perfect sense back in the days when save files were limited by the storage media (or memory cards). Now though, there is very little justification for this.

Originally I thought the cap was not by design and that it would be fixed by a patch. But here we are...

I've only hit the cap once, but that's because I saved up for one of the £20million cars. Normally i'm spending money in the UCD or the OCD, hence why I haven't hit the cap since. Eventually i'll run out of cars to buy and i'll have to go out of my way to store my money elsewhere. It's completely pointless and it's a waste of time for the user to get around the cap.

It's certainly not a deal-breaker as far as buying the Gran Turismo games go (I think the OP was just venting, not actually being serious), but it is annoying.

Why is it annoying if you've only hit it once? And once you have all the cars, what need will you have for over $20 million anyways?
 
I still maintain the cap should be removed once 40 aspec and 40 bspec is achieved

I understand PD wanting to promote thriftyness and i'm glad the cap was there starting out

but ive been 40/40 for a year and a half now and the cap is just a pain in the butt. i can go through 20m extremely quickly

This is what I am failing to understand too. Is it then nothing more than a desire to be able to stockpile money to an infinite amount simply to have as a "bragging right" between players? :confused:
