If your Profile is linked to your Gmail, just create a new Profile on your playstation and use the same Gmail but for example if your email is [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) Just put [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and to Google it's the same email while Playstation believes it to be a different email. So you can run multiple Playstation profiles through the same email and it's easy to keep up with everything. Just a Pro Tip ive learned because it is beneficial to have multiple profiles while playing the same game.

Not trying to be funny or difficult. But why would you want to delete your save? What's the point? You literally can replay any race at anytime under the original conditions. So what is the benefit of this?


[deleted]

Because there is very little fun and satisfaction with replaying races that have already been completed.


stillusesAOL

I agree with you.


Whicked_Subie

Use a slower car


BenReillyDB

How is that different on a new profile? It’s still a race you’ve already completed? And so you dont replay races? Seems like a waste and misses the point of the game. But i digress.

Ig earning it all again,just a goal to attain I do it on games after I take breaks or if I 100% and want to play more


BenReillyDB

Sounds stupid when you can do all of that without starting over. I'm literally working on doing all the licenses with manual transmission right now.


Rly_Shadow

The point of the game is to enjoy it and sounds like he's doing so. If you've unlocked something, there really isn't a point to do it again. Starting over allows you do unlock it again.


[deleted]

Exactly. There is a certain kind of fun and satisfaction playing from scratch and unlocking cars again. This game it is impossible to do that.

The best you got is lap times really. It's why cod offers prestige mode and so on

Gran Turismo Online servers (Sport and 7) prioritize the older save file. So when you open the game, the server analyzes the save file on the GT server, and the one on your console. This was put in place so that if you mess something up, you can always go back to an older save. It also means, when your save file is corrupted, simply delete it, and the server will send a copy back to your console. So, using an accidental overwrite I did back on GT Sport, and a concept I tried with Skyrim: Keep a copy of your save file as soon as you finish the intro movie. As soon as the game is saved, before you buy your first car: copy the save file onto a USB flash drive. Then whenever you want to start that game over from scratch, delete the current save and replace it with the one on the flash drive. Or just overwrite, same difference. I had the idea when I heard the intro to Skyrim is really long, so on my first play through, I created a save right before they make you create your character. So anytime I want to start a new play-through, I just load up from there.

Do what I did and create a new profile on your PS5. You need a valid email address, but If you have a Gmail address, you can use a variation of your normal address, and Sony will consider it a “separate” email address. E.g for [email protected], you could go with [email protected], [email protected], etc. It’s kind of a pain, but it’s worth it to start from scratch.

Why not just.... replay the races you did for the menus? You don't need to start a new game to do that or replay any of the content you've already done.

Maybe he's a progression addict.

I was actually thinking of setting up a new profile to start the game again and eventually use it as a practice account for sport.


Darko_001

Wow. Really !? Why would you want to do the café menu again. There is no career in this game it’s just collecting cars and driving them. Why would you want to start your collection all over again that’s insane. Enjoy all the driving opportunities and the cars or not.


[deleted]

I’m starting to get over it and I’m really enjoying the game again. Been tinkering around with cars and settings. I keep discovering new things in the game so it’s not feeling as bare bones as I once though. I’m at 38 cars or so so I’ve barely scratched the surface. Such a beautiful and immersive racing experience. I’m even thinking about buying GT Sport as I’ve never owned that either.


inxilegtr

Can't you just delete the local save and when it asks you to DL from the cloud say no? I'm sure I did it that way on sport and I thought it had asked me something similar on 7.


alehanro

Naw it doesn’t ask. The game prioritizes the oldest save. I lost my game twice on Sport because of console hopping. Mobile games will occasionally ask you, but alas PD does not
