anyone else notice this? wtf?

That was our Holiday Bonus money. The prize money was simply reset to par. Business as usual for PD.
 
wow, lame...right when i get the fkn 200% login bonus too.

I know,I saw that one coming though so I made hay while the sun was still shining.I'm a collector so I raced seasonals and little else over the holidays for a quick buck.

There's still big money to be made even with payouts cut in half though.Just work at lowering those pp values in the races where that is an asset.Millions per race.
 
The payouts only drop from extra-ridiculous to ridiculous. It's not a big deal. You can still go from zero to the cap in two or three hours.

You can skip to 200% bonus in one day. Helpful for those days when you need a break from GT5 but cannot afford to miss out on 200% cash due to cars in the UCD.

@adrenaline: Would you be as kind to explain what s/he is doing wrong ?

I can't speak for Adrenaline so I'll offer my 5 cents. If the OP is playing this game just to get it over with then why is he playing it all? Do you not enjoy the game? Is this journey just something to be endured for you? If the game if so distasteful then why not just rip it out and give it to someone who will actually get some enjoyment out of it...Move on allready!

He's playing a game, we're competing in a simulator.

Its a bit more complex than that. Grinding is not necessarily fun, yet many successful videogames required tons of it. I dont know really how the minds of everyone works but it seems moment of free play are more enjoyable after hard work. Its so complicated that i will go back on topic. Does the % bonus was 400% and I never noticed? Or 200% without having to consecutive log on?
 
well in response I cannot nor am I trying to speak for gt5scrub but : The game's overall structure is quite tedious, and I am not just referring to getting cars. The leveling system, menu's, and load times can make GT5 quite cumbersome. I myself am currently in the process of finishing up my car collection and its taken up a lot of time. Wrapping up I think every cent is mandatory and anything extra is as well, and especially in a game as open as GT5. The events barely give any cash and anyone without internet playing any GT title is doomed. Some events are just too hard and other times the work/fun ratio really isn't worth it. Seeing your lap times improve can be nice but knowing you earned that Saleen S7,Bugatti Veyron can be twice as sweet. The game is about driving skill but sometimes that is not enough.

agreed, its a great game but lets not act like its perfect. very very far from that actually. the gameplay though is pretty much perfect, the content and other stuff not so much.
 
As anyone else noticed that you get less money for using a vastly underpowered car now I used to make just under 1,500,000 cr and am now lucky if I make 500,000 cr with my 200% bonus on why does polyphony digital insist on restricting us and spoiling our fun because it is spoiling the game for me :(
 
Holiday Bonus is over, now you're left only with the 200% login bonus.

Ultimately high rewards are spoiling you, not restrictions. :)
 
You are all complaining about seasonal rewards. Just think bak to release when we had nothing of the sort! Grinding Indy with the x2010.

No OCD for those who can't get the super rare cars or expensive ones.

2 drift sections, 2 time trial laps and bam, you have 4 million just like that


Not really safe ground to go complaining on, it might flood!
 
Does anyone know when the holiday bonus started ?? Because I am sure i was getting more cash in October/November than what I am getting now it's I really dire the amout of cash I get now :(
