Yep, the online focus as e-sport can be a real problem for the franchise. Would preffer GT7 as well.

That will only happen if they can put at least enough content on the SP to be equivalent to GT5-6, I had over 650h on GT5 but only around 200 on GT6, and it seems 50h would be all it takes to finish GTS. It's plenty of SP time comparing to most games, but wouldn't be the same as a gt 7.

Now that you can create your own races, and earn cash, and miles, you have complete freedom to have the single player expereince you want. The curated stuff may only take 50 hours, but you could easily sink another 600h into your own races. You have the freedom to create any race, on any track, with any car, against the opponents of your choosing, set the difficulty, set the laps, it is all up to you. You don't have to stick to the limited number of events they define anymore. That is what makes this GTS awesome.

Arcade mode, time trials, and drifting all hold wieght  instead of being an after thought. I never touched these modes in previous GT games, because they did nothing to progress my game, now I can run laps for an hour, and earn 1000's of milage points towards upgrading my cars. Or I can set up a 200 lap endurance race and earn a couple 100K in cash, 1000's of milage points, and expereince.

You could define all those in previous GT as well. Kaz was very clear that this GT is looking to another direction, so we can't just shoehorn that it gives comparable SP experience to GT because GTS doesn't. Their focus is the online portion and there is no hidding it.
