I'm talking about: What do you like the most that was added as a feature from an update?

Some examples(also on poll):

Remote racing
Car sharing
driving suits+helmets
seasonal events


And the list goes on...

My favorite has to be how they sped up the confirmation for purchasing tuning items. It used to be sooooooo long, now it's proper:D
 
Non the seasonals should have been in the game to begin with and I hate having to go online just to race them, And everything else I could care less about.
 
I have a love-hate relationship the way PD sort of just throws GT credits our way every now and then.

I'd like it more if the higher earning events actually had realism turned on. I can't believe how easy it has become to make major money.

Tire wear forced off? These races should be worth next to nothing.

Only races with tire wear forced on, skid recovery force forced off, and heavy damage forced on should reward people with credits.
 
Wow, a thread not involving bashing the content added through updates. I'm impressed.

I personally love it all, they are all nice touches that add something more to the game, and the best part is we didn't have to pay a cent for it all. What's not to love?

Edit: didn't vote for pre order dlc, simply because I didn't get it :grumpy:

The only one I'm against is the 1,000,000 gifting limit, everything else has made the game better but that made it a lot worse for a while.
 
I voted for everything except the 1 million gift limit (obviously) and performance points. Don't get me wrong, I think performance points is a good idea, but it should take into account the parts added to the car, not just the final power/weight/etc specs.

Whilst I agree with you it doesn't always work, just look at what happens in forza which takes into account all parts on a car, some cars just end up being much much better in a class. It's always been like that in every game that uses class based systems, one car will always have a slight advantage no matter what.
 
Favourite patch feature so far is no HUD.

Lets have multiple set-ups per car soon please! oh and.... err nevermind.
 
I voted for Seasonal events, never would have thought it was multiple choice, given I was asked to pick my "favorite" otherwise would have chosen online UCD also.

How exactly is B-Spec remote racing added content?
 
Fully customizable gearbox (which should have been there from the start)
Car Sharing is a nice feature
Seasonals
Performance points, they make it much easier to make a room where you can have clean, close and varied races.
 
Didn't realize it was multiple choice, voted remote racing. To be honest the only one I don't enjoy is the million dollar gifting limit, since I would like to be able to send cars to my main account from my GTP account.
 
Seasonal Events
Remote Racing
Performance Points
Suits and Helmets
Online Car Dealership

It's a new feature, and this thread is all about features that were not on the v1.00 disk
 
I was especially gloat that I'm able to train my friends' B-spec drivers through the remote race after some additional features were introduced within the patch. been unaware of seasonal events until recently, I found them also enjoyable and helpful in earning money more quickly - 7 times faster than repeatedly trying out A-spec events with high winnings. :D

Remote racing......Or GT anytime as PD called it.
Shame that they delayed it from day 1 release but GT5 had enough Server load Problems on release day.
But want them to add longer pit stops enabled races if they can were tire wear is enabled.
 
Seasonal events for sure. Without it, we would still be grinding Indy in the American Championship.

I disagree, if anything they should have made it like that to begin with, it would have made online a bit more interesting when you would see someone come on the track with something you never seen, rather then it being " oh I have like 5 of those gifted from a friend" and you would see a lot less x2010s running around. I think it would have more meaning for someone driving around with an expensive/rare car and would add more to the "wow" factor. Just my 2 cents lol
 
I think the improved functionality of being able to buy parts and tires frm the garage screen was very good. Especially for online races it helps a lot. Too bad the engine stage tuning and car weight reducing are not available but it's still much better than it was. It makes the seasonals a lot better too because it is easier to adjust the car for difficulty. I'd wish pd sorted the cars better for the seasonals though. About half of the ai cars are totally out of place in the races...

Of course pp was good addon too as were the power limiter and weight ballast. Improves online racing tuning even if those are pretty small features they still have big effect how one can play the game. I like how the track generator was improved at some early patch when they added road camber (I think).

Of course the seasonals is the feature that has kept me playing. I'm missing the more difficult ones though...

The helmet and suit addon was imho just totally wrong and out of place. That time would have been better off spent pretty much anywhere else on the game. Like improving the looks of the old gt tracks or something else 3d/texturing...

Funny how I can pop into some lobbies with my Toyota Today G, and have them take forever trying to decide wether it's in the game or if it's a mod:dunce:

Shows that rare cars can be the ones no one wants to buy:D
 
Suits and Helmets - Another customisation option
Seasonal Events - More races
OCD - Regularly love the cars available and buy at least 1.
Performance Points - Help match your car to competition, just wish tyres was taken into account.

Should have also voted for unlisted features, in that I like the way you can buy parts for your car in the setup screen. Such a good idea, saves so much time when you go into a race, get stomped and want to add a part which will push you into the mix. Wish you could change the oil via the same screen...
Also like the ability to rerun a race after finishing it. I'm not a grinder (which it seems to help with the most) but if I enjoy a race and want to repeat it or narrowly miss out on the win then its another time saver!

basically, less time navigating menu's means more track time :)
 
I voted for ETC, as my favourite added feature was the ability to turn all the HUD off, which resulted in some truely epic drives on The Ring.


:D
