i dont get the hate for the loading time. i think its ok because of the cars polygon counts plus you dont get the horizon draw like title of yesteryear. and ps3 hardware is not cutting edge anymore... ps3 is now like 4-5 years old?
for the online content loading time is not the game fault, you gotta look at the internet infra here. and blame piracy also since those online exclusive contents are there to entice people to buy ori games.
lastly gt5 dont have dedicated friends system ( i think all ps3 games are the same), i think they just piggyback psn friend system
in other news, finally tried 370z race event. damn hard, just managed 2nd place so far. found a good setup over at gtplanet. probably i tried again tomolo

it's freaking damn long, mostly due to online info check and pull. everytime we choose and change menu, GT5 check and pull info from server. without net connection, everything load considerably fast. all those gfx and textures load fast, and acceptable..but not the stuff related to online interaction.
for example, Main Menu > GT Mode, took me 3-5 minutes depending on net connection, and it occurs everytime we load GT Mode...same goes to GT Mode > Main Menu. without net, it's insta load.ffs idk why GT5 was designed to load data from server everytime menu change when they could just save those data and load them from hdd...saves huge load time. then as for update, it should be designed as background process which check and pull data periodically.
if i load GT5, it took me 15-20 minutes just to get into GT mode...then add another 3-5 minutes to get into seasonal event and race. as for online play..i just give up on it. not worth the wait.
it's the way GT5 designed which causes this, it wasn't optimized imo
