GT7 Update 1.49 - Game Changing or Game Breaking?

I'm really mad at this update. The PP adjustment made my favorite cars ineligible for the races that made me money.
I bought this game last year and gave up multiple times. Decided to give it a go a cpl months ago and got really into it but I'm not putting money into this game and if this game wasn't subsidized through Sony they'd go broke due to their poor follow through.
So disappointing.

They just gotta fix some glitches but it feels way better.

Where has the tire smoke gone in the new game update??
For when you want to build a drift or car for power skids to have fun in the game, as amazing it is for a sim, for racing,
I still want to have fun in the game as I do in real life.
The game is a bit of a letdown now.......

Another massive thing people seem to forget when slating PD, is the fact that all the updates are FREE!! unlike other titles that charge real money for even the slightest DLC.
Like you guys, I'm a fan of the new update as it suits my driving style perfectly, especially because I never confused the break with an on/off button!
Good luck guys and Take care 👍🏁

I found the PB settings. They still don’t eliminate oscillations🤔

I feel it’s quite a hefty update and it does seem they need to tidy afew things up.
I’ve spent maybe 10 hours or so playing it since the update and I really like the new physics, it’s always a difficult to put these things into words but I just feel like there’s more contact with the road than there was previously.
I’ve been using a DualSense since the update and although I’ve had to make adjustments to the suspension in a couple of cases, I feel that I have so much more control than I did previously.

The physics (understeer) at low speeds with road cars on SPORTS is a joke. They don’t turn!

Why do people keep saying how awesome it is bro the car slide all over the damn track the bouncing everywhere to suspension is shit The tires of shit bras I forget what track I was racing around I was in my Aventador SV modified to the gills going on the straightaway hit about 210 lightly putting on the brakes to slow down the car spins out of control it's very jerky in some parts of the track even when I'm going smooth like I notice on replay when a car hits the corner it looks like the cameras off like it's riding on the inside of the tires bro I just noticed the cars are more bouncy more body roll which I don't really care for I liked it before parts of before I like but I've just noticed it's been some weird stuff since the new update doesn't feel right I know it takes time to get used to things but this is just twitchy and certain areas weird it makes the game not fun dude and I'm not a driver that changes settings I don't mess with all that stuff

The dd plus Extreme has some issues. Driver 455 is horrible, amd not drivable sometimes. Driver 457 is awesome but it has dis connected or lost connection. But it's great also when it's working right only a few hrs of play since update.

Ridiculous thumbnail, i have zero issues with mine. Stop reaching for views, it's sad

Much better.

Terrible. How can you pay for a game that the physics changes 3 times already. It feels squishy and slow and you can’t drift properly anymore. I don’t like it

Just finished Manufacturers Championship Online Race ( Go Team Porsche)! And the physics and online racing is two notches closer to realism. Fantastic in many many ways.

When Gran Turismo 7 releases a Pro mode monthly subscription ( Like Grand Theft Auto Plus) for a a few bucks a month, cheaper than iRacing and the rest are in deep deep trouble.

Nothing matches the accuracy and fidelity of Michelin's tire model, and they do it fantastically across hundreds of cars and not just a tiny sliver of race cars that few if any have any ability to properly compare accurately.

Truly an astounding job, and the hilarious extreme glitch tuning tweak jumping is just extra signs of GT7 going to the next level out of this world! 🤷🏼‍♀️

The new physics are SO GOOD, I have an Omega profile sim rig and Fanatec DD+, this is what I've wanted from GT7 for years, finally I can catch sliding intuitively before it snaps as now I can feel the weight transfer of the car, I can feel the grip at EACH WHEEL. And the dirt physics are so damn good now, it's like playing Colin Mcrae Rally only more VISCEREL.The different surfaces behave far more realistically now, curbs, grass, wet, dirt. The FFB is more detailed with much more subtle queues rather than the onenote FFB of previous GT7, rewarding people with high power wheels that can turn up the FFB and feel the detail, like the flashes of steering going light when you go over undulations on the track or approach grip limits. Time to buy Fanatec DD+ guys, you will not regret it, anyone complaining on controller or G29 , time to upgrade, 8nm direct drive is the minimum to appreciate this update as you will need FFB at 100. For DD+ 15nm My FFB settings are: FFB:40-50 (GT7 set to 10!) FUL:50, NDP:50, NFR:15, NIN:10, INT:OFF, FEI: 100, FOR:100, SPR:OFF, DPR:100
Also don't forget to update Fanatec wheel driver to version 457!

I'm using a controller and this shit sucks.

Definitely feels better. Feels less arcade on rails and more like a pc sim.

My only issue is with the ffb settings. I previously had my T300RS set to 5/5, but can’t quite figure out where to put it now. Some cars I can nail down to feel like the pre-update settings, but others still feel different.

It's honestly taking me a bit of time to adjust to the new physics. As a controller player it feels way too skittish and Im finding some difficulty with figuring out my tunes. Braking is an issue as it feels extremely sensitive, need to increase Braking LSD and brake balance on the majority of my existing tunes.

You guys don't adjust suspension do you because not even the ai can drive some cars. Death wobble is everywhere. Modified cars have been destroyed. I'm not sure what game you where playing

CSL Elite some cars feel great like the racing cars GT3 and McLaren F1 the Ferrari Scuderia or F1500 feels so light. Like the wheel is broken. The CSL I think is getting quite outdated now. I think it’s getting harder for devs to showcase their game in its full intension. Probably why some are having great experiences and others are not. I’m 50/50 at times it feels great others times I don’t feel confident with my old wheel anymore. But when I jump on iracing, Project cars 2 AC and ACC it feels great and I don’t make as many mistakes and can catch slides. I’m finding it difficult to catch slides in GT7 new update. I was much more confident and comfortable before. It’s definitely still fun need more play time and probably a wheel upgrade. 😅 Overall it probably it’s better but I think it needs some fine tuning from PD. Keep improving it.

Gr cars are fine, road cars are now boats, turn in 2-3 business days

ANYONE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FFB on a G29 my wheel feels weak / DEAD I DONT like it im at 10-10 and feel horrible I got used to the no power steering feel lol

This update is a malicious drivers wet dream!!!! I’m done with Daiky races until they fix this TRASH!!!

Can't feel transducer in my TGT2 after update??

Seems like a lot of damage control to me, the game is ruined wtf, just say it as it is.

I am using the Logitech Pro, and it feels way better with the new physics. The true force is somewhat diminished, but putting it up to 150 makes it a bit better. The overall increase in torque is great, in particular with road cars on sports tyres, which was quite underwhelming before. I think Polyphony deserves alot of credit for the amount of effort they contunue to put into GT7, its all moving in the right direction in my opinion.

I didn’t like it at first but I think it’s quite good now plus it seems have made me faster

I used to work in QA (Quality Assurance). Surprised PD's Automated Regression Testing didn't pick up the Edge Cases

I'm guessing that Sophy must take a lot of time to set up

You know what. I would rathe have PD try something and have it break, then fix take it and take it on the chin, rather than not doing anything at all. Rather try and fail, than not try at all. I love it.

some circuits and some of the missions im pretty sure are completely impossible now. you cant cut our times down by 1 second but make the time trial 0.400 easier the time trails are outdated.
Also the physics when I touch a bump on the lip of a turn and am accelerating like 10% (MY CAR SHOULDN'T COMPLETELY BARREL ROLL) this is definately not accurate.

Game changing no. Game changing would be getting rid of rubberbanding, rolling starts fixed, ai fixed and much more.

I use a Logi G923 and I feel 60% of my grip has PACKED ITS SHIT and moved out. And its almost to where im ready to either find a different game or just stop playing. I quit back in 2002 or so when GT4 game out cause I hated the stiff chase cam. And I bought a PS5........A PS5 BECAUSE OF THIS DAMN GAME.........AND MY WHEEL SETUP..........$1200 and for what?!?! To now be screwed by an update? This is bullshit! What was it all for?

Not a fan of the update so imma take a break till next month if there any cars I want any one else have their wide body m3 fender rubbing even after it’s jacked up like a 4x4

To be honest i do t feel a difference i do need help to understand what changed

Well, T300 user here, new Physics and FF are absolutely marvellous! It feels like ACC now! As for the jumping cars bug - too bad guys , you won't be using your cheat-setups anymore :D

Now just lossen up that chase cam like the old gt3 and the game will feel 100x better

You guys are talking about expensive wheels and I’m happy for you lot, but how about the humble G29? 😂
I didn’t have time to try it yet. So I’m fishing for impressions before I have time to check it out for myself.

Cheers mates.
