Shift, Forza, Grid, Dirt all have good career modes, as do many PC sims even though they are not all sim.. All reviews and most people who played 6, the single biggest complaint is AI, sounds, no damage, career mode lacking..Carer mode in GT is dull, a long time trial against brain dead pylons.

What accomplishment is there in GT?? There is no challenge in GT at all. Heck shift despite its rubbish handling had a great varied carer mode with challenging AI. All rolling starts, chase the rabbit format is just plain bad. There is a reason Pd has rolling starts, no qualifying, you always start at the end......................The AI are just pylons.

GT is a game about driving and overtaking other cars instead of qualifying in first place and staying there all race. No mad dash to the first corner and pass 90% of the pack in the smash um up. The accomplishment comes from making a clean pass and that perfect corner.

The problem with GT is that it leaves it completely up to the user to set their challenge level in career mode. It suggests a certain pp range, but also has an upper limit that leaves you massively ahead of the competition. Maybe they could add difficulty levels with different pp limits and payouts instead of leaving it up to yourself.

Shift was fun but I didn't like the career mode very much. The AI was too agressive, so I usually ended up with a powerful car and spend the whole race up front. No fun interacting with the AI. Dirt the same, just drive out front and let the idiot AI slam into each other behind you.
If I want to battle the ai I'll play an arcade racer.

Best career mode in a driving sim is ETS2. That was very addictive.

LOL so then give me an example of one car in GT6 that doesn't sound like its real life counterpart. Just one.

And please tell me of these other racing games that have better AI than GT6 on max difficulty.

You're welcome! It's not a proper review and the full version cannot be published here :P. Anyway, the more I play the game, the more I like it. What has striken me most though is not the improved visuals, day-night cycles or physics improvements. It's way more ... gamer friendly than any GT ever was in the past. I believe Yamauchi has finally got the balance point where fun comes in equal measures with realism. Or is really close to it at least.

Things are not quite so in GT6. Opponents may occasionally block your path, move aside to ruin the slipstream, avoid collisions and even ram you to put you off course. It's not something really challenging, yet it is improvement.

The tracks are the real challenge. Hence comes any real sense of accomplishment and it is the core and soul of the GT series. Fullfillment and sense of success comes from besting a real tough curve, exiting a bend or taking advantage of extra energy acquired  from upslopes and downslopes to "trick" the driving line and improve your time.

I've come to a conclusion that throughout the series, the races are nothing more than time trials... with company. Which actually is the case with real races in most times. I've been searching (like mad) the racing line (in real tracks), to see how others drove through it and I certainly never even thought to try and hit another racer. Of course, no money were on stake, so I dont't know what occurs when a real prize is waiting the victor on the finish line.

All in all, GT6 has improved over its predecessors. In almost every term. Whoever even remotely enjoyed the previous installments will certainly love this one.
