I got shafted on my CE, got standard plus a voucher and apology card instead, WTF. Anyway
I decided not to install and it is surprisingly not as slow as I thought it would be and the install while playing bit works very well aswell, really hope this system becomes the norm for PS3. Haven't tried with wheel yet since no where to mount it but feels decent with DS3.
Biggest let down by a long way is the AI pace, even with a controller and me driving very badly they are a walkover through the corners(hope its level affected). I really detest having to go through so much in B-Spec aswell just to train drivers for later A-Spec stuff, bit of a chore. (Is there another way?)
Level system is not a hindrance at all imo, just do N-B, then whatever special events you can and you will rank up really quick with lots of cash too.
Not too sure what I think of the lack of Brake mods. Tuning in general is very simplified, not that I mind since I mostly prefer standard cars, physic maybe more reliable.
Anyone know about the whole changeable weather thing?, is that also level unlocked or will it only happen in endurance races. I did notice it sometimes rains in the GT Rally.
BSpec feels abit 'micro-managy', I hope when putting them on for a stint they don't need to be told to get a move on or hold their pace, since I've been having him really really slow down 1 lap after telling him to hold his pace, seems to be abit forgetful :P .
All in all, for now its a really fun thing and looks great too.
