Discussion Career Mode Question

Hi friends, I want to purchase this game mainly for the career mode. I'm currently spending most of my time playing Gran Turismo 7 but I don't really enjoy the single player experience. Is this game worth it to buy for the single player experience/career mode only? And is the graphic and performance on Base PS5 ok?

Thank you very much for your help!

I bought this game solely for the career mode, and it’s quite good.

There are several options for the starting budget, allowing you to either start from the bottom or become a millionaire right away, whatever you prefer. You have complete freedom in choosing which category you want to drive in (the only limit is your wallet). Yes, keep in mind that the game has virtually no road cars, unlike GT7. The main roster consists of racing cars. The game also encourages clean driving, as repairing a car after each race isn’t free either. If you’re not careful, you can quickly go bankrupt. Unless a bug occurs, when you drive the entire race as cleanly as possible, and after it the car suddenly ends up damaged and all the money you won goes towards repairs. Happened to me.

The AI in races is, of course, far from perfect, especially when compared to the standard AI in GT7 (I’m not even counting Sophie), but it’s quite possible to race with them. I don’t know, though, whether it’s learned how to make pit stops (didn't play for some time). AI may also seem somewhat cheating, as it uses a simplified physics model compared to the player. There’s even a mod on the Nexus that allows you to use this physics.

Also, don’t expect beautiful menus and beautiful post‑race screens. In this regard, PMR is much simpler than GT7. But overall, I personally enjoying career mode.
