Gran Turismo Sport is extremely limited in offline mode (no saves, unlocks, etc..)

I'd say that it's quite a bit less likely that you're never online on your PC than your console and if you want you can turn on offline permissons and play offline just fine and your game is still saved as usual.

It plays amazingly well. Hope you can give it a shot later in time.

Great, informative post. You should probably create a separate thread with all that information but with the above as the title. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people that are going to pick this up for SP and be disappointed, just because it's such a departure for the series.

Completely disagree as I've been trying to track down this information and have been active in GT threads. They like to throw out terms like "selected tracks", "some content", "some features" without providing details.
Having to be online to save any progress wasn't apparent until the time trial when they put up the online manual. And even then the demo wasn't representative of the game in that it had zero offline capability.
Read the thread about the '8 things you need to know about GTSport" -- It raised more questions than it answered, and that's all we had to go on until the time trial launched.

Serioulsy? Didn't you see the constant back and forth with Is this the next proper GT or a Prologue?, Is this GT7?, Is GT7 coming later? Yes, in all but name. No, it's something different. With Kaz saying this and that. Some of these questions are still being asked by people in the OT.
Or did they say at the announcement that the game was going to launch without career mode? Because the post I was alluding said so.
This is not true. Set your Windows Store setting to allow as your primary PC for offline apps. Just Did a race to confirm after disabling my connection.

It would be extreamly painful...
I wasn't clear on this before, but the beta cleared this up for me that they're aiming more at an online thing with this, like FF14 was for Final Fantasy. I'll wait on Gran Turismo 7 instead.
It's your fault to not checking psblog and gtplanet every 5 minutes.
Open up an ehelp case then. Game is playable offline.

Remember when this forum tore MS a new one when they tried to pull this shit with the xbone... Oh how we laughed.

No, I got it. I was just being a smart ass about Amazon.

And we are tearing Sony a new one as well.
No it wasn't, there was a lot of vague stuff in regards to the offline functionality of the game. Especially about Arcade. Heck, for a while there people were trying to figure out whether everything in Arcade mode would be playable offline (because they said something to the effect of "Arcade mode will be limited offline"), or did they mean that there is some sort of customize race option in arcade mode to allow for online play with 2 player etc

Only Digital foundry mentioned it but I noticed this right away because I didn't want to wait for the stupid day one patch to download to play it. Was a bit disappointed. I'll have to update it when taking it to any friends place to play it too and be limited to a few tracks and even fewer cars compared to GT4.

I followed both ;p
But its not the same
I was in the early US closed beta and tried last weeks beta and liked the game.
Or maybe soneone like me who has been playing GT until GT5 and the last thing I was expecting was that the game put me to play against other humans...i mean I didnt do specific research because I take things like this for granted, like for example I have played MLB the show since the first one was ever release and I only play it for the franchise to play against the AI, so when I go and buy The Show I assume I can play the game without having to play against other humans because I already have enough with dealing with cheap players, experts players, players that cheese the game, players that will have better hardware to have an edge on the game. Etc in other MP games.
I bought the game Digital because I havent played GT in ages and I didnt do research or else I wouldnt had bought the game, so the blame is on me, however I dont think Im an idiot for expecting an stablished franchise to come with a core feature.
Its also mindblowing to see a lot of people singing the same tune MS was singing to defend always online when Xbox one was going to be released.
Just checked with FH3, and you're right. It doesn't work. I think it actually doesn't work for any Play Anywhere title (my brother tried Cuphead and it didn't work offline, but Minecraft and RoTR worked offline for me). That's actually pretty awful... and I think the reason there's not much complaining, is because I don't think many people actually know...

Forza 7 - Loot boxes, locked content & no public drift lobby.
GTS - Weak offline mode, no dynamic time/weather & joke car list.
2017 is a terrible year for racing gamers.
FH3 also works offline. Just checked.
I don't see how online championships would be effecting by save editing. SR value is the only thing that needs to be kept server side, which is only effected in online races anyways.
My friend that played the beta told me the game was like this, and I almost didn't believe him. I said there was no way Sony would make the exact same mistake that got them eviscerated when DriveClub launched with fucked servers, and yet, here we are. I mean the only thing I heard about GT Sport during the beta was "it sure is pretty" and "man, the servers are trash".
Thanks but no thanks, Sony.

It really is. People having hopes at something with no real proof to back it up will always be mad at the other party when said hope didn't come true. It was know this is an online only game. No way around that.

Thats a theory that doesnt hold up at all, lots of esport PC titles can be modded from hell and back on personal or offline PCs. When attending an esport event the consoles will be checked for cheats anyhow.
Theres no excuse for just making a casual mode save that doesnt count towards your online mileage or round times.
That's weird... didn't work for me.
It's probably just another stupid Win10 bug, where the Offline Mode isn't actually being set properly. Anyway, back on topic I guess.

More like GOATClub.
Try resetting your the windows store setting for Primary PC for offline apps. I had to do that after the latest update.

Now people are suggested that locking saves to online is great because if there were offline saves, people would mod and get an advantage.
Jesus fucking Christ.
This is how far people will go to defend this shit.

I had just done that prior to trying (I had someone else's PC set before, so they could play Gears 4 with me). It's also why I assumed it worked, because they could play my stuff (including Forza Horizon 3).

Has that never happened before in any game? People modding the offline saves?

Are they governed by the FIA?
Because this, which again was front and center since the reveal

Who knows? Maybe?
Not on any scale that is worth mentioning as a legitimate concern for anyone.
This is where we are now.
...that is literally the official reason why, straight from Sony/Polyphony.
Do you think theyre lying? And if so, what do they stand to gain with locking saves online if it isnt to prevent cheating?

I dont like sim racers period so I don't really care for this game but I mean, it sounds like it could be a legitimate issue if the game is heavily competitive and going into the esport realm so I don't think it's not a concern worth mentioning.
