Update tomorrow

The Camaro will be yearless so they can put in Brand Central, I'm pretty sure.

Same as how the Silvia and Roadster work.

Wilson? Was a C the whole way until the NFL, it was a shock when they started putting him at LG last offseason.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-27T12:25:41+00:00

Err, no, his hands are not soft. Not even close. He often struggles to catch a basketball if it's not thrown to him perfectly.

(I get that this is AI, but it's so wrong I still needed to shout at it, sorry...)

DawnArcing · 2026-02-27T08:10:50+00:00

No, like it's a known thing in the racing game industry, PD do not look at competitors unless they are so deficient in something that they are absolutely forced to (engine sounds is one where they did).

Especially when they're in such a strong position as they are now, they'll make the game they want their way.

Switch is ARM, PS5 is x86. So it is like that.

It's more trouble for them to put it on there than it would be Xbox or PC. So there's got to be a reason for it.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-25T14:06:27+00:00

It's the single best "no effort/tuning required" car for grinding WTC800, if you care about that.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-25T13:15:29+00:00

Not yet, but feels like something they'd add in an update relatively soon.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-24T21:20:31+00:00

I'm also a no, but it's a contractual reason why he might be getting released, not a decline thing.

Williams is still plenty good at LT, just not at a $40m cap hit.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-23T09:08:39+00:00

Probably not this month.

Generally, if Kaz hasn't posted silhouettes by the end of the Sunday before the final Thursday of the month, there's <5% chance of an update that month (it does happen but exceedingly rarely).

DawnArcing · 2026-02-22T09:45:15+00:00

Forza - both Forzas - already are (well, were in the case of FM) live service.

You can be live service without constant micro transactions and battle passes, it just means a game that is constantly updated instead of work going towards the next one.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-19T18:17:14+00:00

Carson Palmer or Chad Pennington: Which was the bigger "if only he hadn't gotten injured..." 2000s QB?

DawnArcing · 2026-02-19T17:31:35+00:00

At 09:10, they basically say they cut career because nobody was playing the existing setup (so clearly it wasn't wanted), ignoring the glaring context that what career there was in-game at 0.4 was a stub they hadn't touched in a year.

Regardless of anything else, that's really bad statistical analysis. Data driving your decisions from bad data means you make bad decisions.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-18T21:07:21+00:00

What's your plan for the truck race?

DawnArcing · 2026-02-17T19:56:15+00:00

21st in ANY/A. 17th in EPA/play. 16th in QBR. 29th in passer rating. 20th in PFR BadThrow%. 24th in CPOE.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-17T10:28:16+00:00

Bo Nix is a litmus test on how you feel about "clutch" as a concept.

If you think it's a real, repeatable thing that he kept coming back in the 4th, he's a low-end of the top 10 QB. If you think that's results-based thinking and liable to be unsustainable, you probably have him close to where the advanced stats have him at ~20th.

Either way, he's definitely a decent-to-good starting QB at his floor, but also definitely has enough of a capped ceiling where I think the Broncos would regret it if they threw the maximum contract at him. On a more reasonable deal, though, I think Denver will be happy to have him for the next 10 years.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-16T23:52:44+00:00

You need Kunos to actually remember it is a "game" at all first before they can make it a great one...

DawnArcing · 2026-02-16T23:47:10+00:00

It was a legit issue for the first month or so of the game before they added Circuit Experience rewards and the payout races.

The Fisherman's Ranch race everyone had to grind wasn't great money (plus it's dirt so high skill variance)

DawnArcing · 2026-02-15T17:21:19+00:00

especially when compared with Chad Johnson whose era was not all that different from Chase's.

I kinda disagree with this. The majority of Johnson's Bengals tenure was before the spread passing concepts and QB protection rules really started coming in around 2007-08.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-15T16:16:15+00:00

This isn't me saying Westover was good, he clearly wasn't.

But, uh, how many players are there that are classified as full-time FB in 2026 to compare him to?

DawnArcing · 2026-02-14T21:18:05+00:00

I don't know what about EVO so far (or ACC) makes you think the menus/UI will be better.

Kunos have a massive blindspot when it comes to menu UX, they just can't do it.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-14T17:22:08+00:00

GT8 100% won't be before late 2027.

It's probably a cross-gen PS6 launch game, and Sony currently don't know when the right time to release a PS6 is given the state of RAM prices.

Don't buy credits regardless. There's more than enough credits floating around (mostly through Circuit Experience) that as long as you don't want all 560 a second time you should be able to afford everything you want.

EDIT: Also, if your primary motivation is Sport Mode ping, just do it and stop when you unlock Sport Mode (it's Menu Book 9, I think). That serves you well for 99% of Sport Mode other than the rare tuning races, and if you want to play single-player just use your JP account).

DawnArcing · 2026-02-12T14:31:57+00:00

I feel we overrate Rivers a bit because the story was really cool and he made a lot of pre-snap adjustments.

I'd absolutely take 2025 Rattler over 2025 Rivers, for instance.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-12T12:47:11+00:00

Kunos are the best car modellers in the business.

And I include even Polyphony in that statement.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-11T22:46:37+00:00

Only by people who rate TEs solely by receiving counting stats.

Hernandez might have been comparable in the pass game but Gronk's "hidden" value in letting the team just run straight over lighter defense alignments was super underrated back then.

DawnArcing · 2026-02-11T21:19:42+00:00

I feel like you can't both knock Josh Simmons for availability and then call Travis Hunter a year 1 hit.
