I love Gran Turismo 5. It’s awesome. But then again it also heavily trips on my nerves sometimes. Especially during the license tests.
So, you take a test for the first time, you end up with bronze and get to see the result screen. Alright, fine. Let’s try again. Bloody hell, you missed the target time for silver just by a few hundrets. Gneh. Loading. Result screen. But hey, i just wanna try again!
That isn’t yet the biggest deal if you’re an absolutely awesome driver but for people like me who need a while to get to gold that stupid result screen in between the attempts really sucks major dick. It’s a number of clicks and waiting and loading that’s just not necessary.
So why-o-why didn’t you, dear Sony/Polyphony guys make it a bit more intelligent and dismiss the result screen IF the player wins the bronze award the second time? A direct next attempt? Or a “try again?” button BEFORE loading the result screen?
AND FOR FUCKS SAKE: if i choose to not login to the Playstation Network, stop asking me a billion of times!
UPDATE (BUG ALERT)
While writing this, GT5 is stuck at the “post-test” drivethrough video without taking any more controller input. And this happens quite frequently during the IA tests. This now happened during all IA tests from 5-7 and always caused the PS3 to crash really hard.

In my case, the blu-ray drive died and these were the first signs of it. Now i’m waiting for the patch to arrive that makes copying the savegame possible.
(Thank you Sony for considering this well through all the way… Well, at least it’s coming…)

I have been having the same problem with IA-7 for two days now, I don’t suppose you’ve found a way around the issue?
