My guess is that it had something to do with gt academy usa issues. These new seasonals seem to be worst so far. I love those f1 challenges and they are hard but the rest...like 4wd, first i took my 340hp subaru and won cape ring easy(sport medium tires) and then with 300hp citroen wrc i won laguna seca easy even though some opponents cars had over 440hp...
at least I got to use my F1 that was collecting dust in the garage. And finally I completed collecting all of the RUF's
Kaz just tweeted that next update is coming 18th FEB so next weeks friday. It brings back the PP system from prologue, gt anywhere(not 100% sure) and better penalty system so that gt academy can continue.
Yeah how about this to add to the already long list of fails in the latest version of GT. A bug that can kill your save game file http://www.gtplanet.net/this-gran-turismo-5-bug-can-kill-your-game/
Quick question - can you use the Formula GT for anything other than the race in epxert series? Also anyone got a Classic Race car they can lend/trade? i cant seem to get one anywhere, and my buick isnt good enough lol
i brought the formula GT, its fast lol What would you want in return, i probs aint as far as you in the game but might have something

Some good changes there, definately welcoming the removal of the "HDD access warning message" at start up and optimized save speeds. I'd also like to see them remove some of the confirmation dialogs in the future like for instance when you fit new parts, you first get the dialog wich tells the modification, then it asks if you wish to purchase it, then it asks if you wish to fit the part now and finally it tells you that its been installed and you need to hit OK... atleast remove the last one ffs . Gets a bit tiring if you're buying multiple parts at once. Also welcoming the change of going back to the old style Seasonal rewards, i know i said earlier in the thread that the rewards were a bit too high but having now reached level 28, all i really got left are the endurance races and B-spec, neither wich really interest me, endurance mainly because of the amount of time i need to invest for a single race and B-spec because of the Artifiacial Imbecile. I wonder if the xp increases in A and B spec work retroactively, as in does the game have a look at what events ive completed and when and rewards me or will i have to do the races again if i wish to get the new experience amounts.
So now you get even less credits? some day instead off giving it takes credits. I was looking forward for a system that tells you if you already have a certain car, I reached a point that is impossible to keep track. The other changes are welcome, but for those of us who been playing the game since it came out it really doesn't matter.
*edited for clarity and because I was in a hurry first time round The new patch ain't bad but it ain't what it should have been. - New seasonal class specific races. The FR, RR and 4WD classes seem to give a more specific set of challenges however the rules and regs are still too loose with no incentive to not just over power your ride and beat everyone in the race flat, also where's the MR class, Zonda, McLarean, Ferrari, Lambo all of them are mostly MR. - Two new tracks, dunno if the MT Aso and Effiel tracks are wholly new I know the Mt Aso track is used in the vehicle demo mode but whatever the case they are both fantastic tracks. A little lacking in trackside detail but that doesn't matter when the racing on them is so good. - PP system, as it is it is still not going to fix the online issues but it should hopefully tighten the competition up a bit and with any luck lead to a proper select a car from garage select go online and be instantly matched with a race that should proven fair, fun and even. - Content, new seasonal races provide a good whack of new races but they still lack focus, they can all be blitzed by overpowering the car. We need some new focused championships. Overall not a bad patch but still lacking. The B Spec remote control is something that should have been dumped in favour of redirectly work load to something a tad more worthwhile. Dunno how many folk will actually use it but I can tell you that I won't even get as far as just trying it just to see what it does. Level system is still there, nothing else can be said about that. Still no mid race save, mid championship save or opportunity for you to swap drivers. Didn't notice it in the notes above but does this patch fix the save game bloat and kill issue that can render save games useless?
Credit system is now back to normal as it was before any updates but now they increased xp rewards quite a bit which is much better. PP system is great addition because now i can race with my favorite cars in low hp races and still get nice challenge out of it.
XP is useless, after you reach level 35, I aint gona do the 24 hours endurance races so I just dont see the point. Grind over and over again to reach level 40 to do a 24H race that gives you 200.000 credits and a crap car? No thanks! With credits I can buy cars thats what GT is all about.
yeah i cant be arsed with the 24hr races for 200k, they need to reward you with millions, especially in A spec mode.
