JMatt94:I don't understand how websites reviewed the game so quickly, it gets so much better as you level up, win stuff, buy fast cars..etc. I've played so game a lot and I'm still finding out new things about it. 

JarrodM: What licences have you guys got and how far through a-spec? I'm up to international-a done half the sections in beginner, a couple in amateur and the mini challenge in professional. done a couple of the special events aswell.

myndlyz: does anyone know what the latest update is for? when i turned it on it said latest update is available (around 130MB's) i think it said 1.02 or sumthing...

i have all the licenses except for special.

Disrespective: Update is for the online play.

I'm up to the international A licence, done all of beginner, most of amateur and some of the professional races. I'm almost at level 12 or 13 on my licencing, and apparently Jalopnik has told me that "You don't start the game in GT mode with vehicle damage unlocked. We've been told once you reach level 20 (we're only at level 11), you'll get access to realistic damage including mechanical problems and then, when you reach level 40, you get access to simulation-level damage where parts can fall off and cars can be completely totaled. But, for the first few levels you get a bumper car-like effect that's almost comical. Instead of wrecking, you just sort of smack into each other and bounce off. It doesn't matter whether the car you're driving is one of the 200 "premium" cars or one of the 800 "standard" ones." so that's heartening.
