Yup - was a no brainer.

If it works, I don't see how PD can ever truly patch this unless they find a way to make patch downloads mandatory. And that would seem impossible if the PS3 isn't connected to the 'Net anyway.

They can link games saves to patch versions.

Sure, they can patch it with a patch, but if you have two PS3s and don't apply the patch, you can glitch forever as long as you keep a copy of 1.01 on one of them. Worth keeping a backup of 1.0 and 1.01 saves with glitch cars on a USB stick too I guess.

They're going to have to make the 1.02 patch quite attractive in order to get me to apply it

New Update has just dropped.

they could stop online play + seasonals if your not on the latest patch.

Do you know the changelog?

How bad is the grinding? Is it much worse than GT5? Saving up for a modded Civic Type R then doing the seasonal race for it in GT5 was a good way to earn enough cash to buy the Ferrari and then do the seasonal Ferrari race that gave you 500k I think? Can you do anything similar in this (bar the hax

)

Won't bother getting it if's too much of a grind fest, no way am I buying credits.

I think the max pay out is 50,000k at the moment. So it may take a while.

They do that anyway I think- it signs me out of PSN unless I accept the patch which I assume means no multiplayer?

That new M4 is pretty rappid.

Just done a 7:43 at the ring. Decided to try and beat that time the jag xkr-s. could only manag a 7:46 though.

Jag must weigh a bit!

Post CRglitch I've just had to manually refresh the images of my 22 cars in the garage this morning.
Other than that no ill effects, no data lost.

I'm Happy.

Thank you chaps :cool:

PS: The Free M4 (after getting bronze in the special) is good isn't it

I might have got Silver had I not been messing about sideways everywhere

So is this game actually a bit of a drag if you don't glitch some free money out of it?

Sounds like nobody is enjoying playing it normally?

lunarwolf · 13 Dec 2013 at 15:20

I think the game is great and better than GT5 in many ways.

I love Bathurst & Brands and taking out all the new GT2/3 class race cars they added

only major issues are sound and credit grind (but we have a workaround

)

I'd consider myself a huge critic of this game. Have no problem highlighting the good and bad points.

So far I'm enjoying the game.... Despite it's on going flaws.

To me grinding has always been a part of the franchise. I somewhat enjoy working my way up the ladder. This is the reason I'm staying clear of these glitches / exploits. To me it just ruins the experience.

Overall I give this a 7.5 out of 10. Purely because not much has changed with regards to the overall experience.

Oh man the sound! WTF!! - I have been spoilt my Forza.

I'd read that it's opening week sales were 80% less than GT5's which is pretty shocking if true!
