Need for Speed Racing Games

Ok. Let's take the Porsche Carrera GT. Everyone has had massive problems with it on the Spa track. I have too. So needless to say, I was quite apprehensive about taking it into a tier 4 manufacturer's race against a Merc SLR. I found that on the Silverstone track, the Carrera GT is awesome. It didn't step a foot wrong (it did put the back end out a lot though lol) so I've come to the conclusion that it is car/track specific.

See how you guys go.

I first noticed this bouncing crap when i came to spa and should drive the M3, before that everytning was perfect.
it's not just the Carrera that behaves like this at spa,all cars i have tried does the same

Try the Exige, the Murcielago, or the Reventon - I've driven them all on Spa and they were fine. I think there might've been a slight bump in one of the corners, but otherwise all good =]

is there anyone who can help me get the game speed up?.
wherever im driving its like everything is at half speed.
therefore i havent played it since the day i got it cuz it unplayable.
if i tap the steering once the car goes off the track in that direction and whenever i come out of a corner its like im driving a freggin slalom course.
ive mailed EA but havent had a response yet allthough i should get one within 24 hours.

!!!any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Stop taking speed =]

Umm....dunno. Get a faster computer? LOL

We are aware that a lot of people are having similar issues and we are looking into it. In the meantime, everybody who is experiencing this problem please post about in in this thread.

Thanks!

i know you probably cant say anything about this cuz your here for the forums but why does EA F** up one of the best racing games each year because of an unrealistic deadline of a year?

i mean need for speed used to be good.
if i ever give need for speed another chance it will be by downloading a game, im not spending any more money on it.
just to be clear, this is not directed at you personally but someone had to say it.

Where have the Underground, Carbon and Pro boys gone they got it right.........I don't know what destroys me more, the fact that G25 which I am using is used as the picture on the controller screen and does not work correctly or that for the First time ever you make the Handbrake the x button and not the R2 button on the wheel.......Dirt 2 I can leave the settings default and get an enjoyable ride and what do you know the handbreak is defaulted to the R2 Thankyou Codemasters EA bow your heads in shame Need for speed SH%#@^%#

Well you fixing these issues, for goodness sakes please fix the flag lady standing in the middle of my car almost every single race. Did you have any game testers?

How's this for Erratic Physics



Ive had this happen numerous times (360 version)

EA.... HELLO? Anybody in there? What is going on over there? Will you guys fix this stuff or what? How long does the damn game have to be out before this stuff is fixed? The game is unplayable on many of the races, and even the ones where it's somewhat playable, it's still a little off from how it should be. The physics models on some cars is off, the bouncing is less but still there, the list goes on and on. Give us a date on a patch fix, please!

First of all, chill out people. It's not like this bug can just be fixed with a magic wand. Seriously, grow up. Bugs happen, welcome to the real world, now post something productive or GTFO.

What I have to add here is a couple vids I recorded last night. The first is a run in my AE86 "superbounce" lol. It has the WORKS upgrade. I've actually tweaked it back and forth, and finally decided to try just resetting the advanced settings to default (shown at start of vid) and then run the track. It had a lot less grip, so it took some getting used to, but it didn't have the bounce issue as bad. You'll see in the vid there's a couple spots where it still bounces like crazy. I didn't even try to compete in this car.



Now, for the second vid, of a Silvia S15 I'd bought and upgraded with what money I'd made. It had all tier 2 upgrades, but no tuning from stock as purchased. it definitely does a lot less bounce, but you'll notice where I rewind is the two main points where it happens.



So my conclusion here, which goes to include the other bouncing issues people have experienced, including myself (bouncing off the starting line, etc), is that the game is somehow misrendering wheel hop. Whenever the car should be hoping, the chasis is refusing to flex, and you begin doing an odd little bounce, which gets compounded when you add in the springs, and the shocks can't possibly compensate.. This happens mostly in the corners, as you could see. But these others are having the same sort of issue, with the seeming lack of flex in the chasis, just whenever accelerating.

Hope this helps, guys.

It would also be interesting to know why PS3's version has far less car damage effects vs. 360/PC versions.

Ok so check this out. Lambo Murcielago tuned up heaps on Silverstone. There was only like one spot where it seemed to bump unnaturally, but you might not be able to see it in the video, framerate isn't too good.



So as you can see, the Lambo isn't too bad.

PS3 - Driving Force GT

Carrera , Veyron do the bouncing.. my career Works'd Rx7 has bouncing issues on some tracks..
the shifting is messed on the rx7, ts way to fast i start off the line in 4th.. and the first 3 gears hit rev limiter soon as i shift.. and it has 6 gears...nurburing ring zonda event does the bouncing..basicly any car on nurburing ring
the Manufacturer Comp , t3 , 911 London River event does it also

1. I have had Cars Dissapear.

2. In the Xbox Live -> Driver Duels I list the wrong winner although it keeps the correct stats in my profile most of the time. I have won brackets and had it not advance me on two occassions and had it bump me back to the 1rst bracket on 1 occassion when i had won.

3. Been Stuck in walls on Several tracks after just scathing them

4. In Nuremburge while playing xbox live races, at the start of the race it pans cammeras around your car then places you in your car in your chosen view, however, mine cut to an external trackside view and I was forced to control the car as if i were controlling it from the various views when you watch a reply and would not let me change the view.

5. Flag Girls Standing in Car

6. On the heavily slanted tracks, such as the oval ones, the car is sliding before the race starts

7. On driver Duels if you each win a race and you go to tie breaker sometimes it gives the other car an immense lead before the start when its supposed to be nearly even

8. in several races in career mode when I have pressed "Y" to re-do the race it cuts to a replay and gives no controls. replay will just loop over and over again, forced to restart system

9. Afte much discussion with people online the reward system is finiky. for instance the most I can win and have always won online is 8000 for first, 6000 for second, 5000 for third. While I have spoke with some people that get 15k for first and others that get as much as 50k for first and some of them the same driver level as I even in the same race I got 1rst and got 8k while 2nd place took 35k. Something obviously wrong there.

10. Many visual glitches that dont seem to affect gameplay too, but not sure why it made it out the door as a final product, cars floating and dropping to the track when you first enter a race, when the race is over the car just crashes into things or sometimes just dissapears.

11. Gets stuck in joining match screen with the cars racing around the globe. would think its an internet connection issue, however the "B" button is there to press B to cancel and when you press B it just makes an audible noise and does nothing.

12. When the host is hosting a race online, a-lot of times they exit if they are not winning and generally right before i cross the finish line it pauses and says connection lost...etc and i get no points, particularly annoying in longer races. Do they have some kind of recourse against these users, take away points or count as a loss on them or something?? its getting really annoying.

13. why when a host leaves does it say lost connection to host and possibly EA and take you back to the home screen. It should automatically search for a new match using the criteria you used to search for previously or at least take you back to the screen where you make your final choice about what to search for, wether that be the quick race, custom race, or create race after having chosen ranked or unranked, its annoying having to go through the same stuff pretty much after every race.

Final Though: All Together; a very good looking(when it works) game but poorly put together. Its all about implementation. I would like an update to come out that fixes all the glitches and if not then I'd like my money back, prefereably i'd like to play it though(Fixed)

FIX IT EA!!!! I'M SURE IF YOU CAN RUSH THE GAME OUT IN ONE YEAR YOU CAN RUSH A PATCH OUT IN ONE WEEK!!!!!!! JUST FIX THE DAMN GLITCH....

I'm sick and tired of games manufacturers being lazy. Do they not realise that the gaming world would rather wait an extra week, fortnight, or even an extra month if it means the game they're waiting for will be more complete? If EA had kept NFS: Shift in the workshop for one more month, I'm sure none of us would be having the problems we're having right now. All they're doing by releasing a buggy version early is making lots more work for themselves. Look at Gran Turismo. GT games are NEVER rushed to stores to compete with similar games. Polyphony Digital have got the right idea - the world will wait until THEY are ready to bring the game out. At least we can all guarantee that when GT5 hits stores, there won't be any stupid bouncing problems, nor will grid girls ghost the cars. The modification system will be complete. The online play will be flawless.

Guys at EA. Take a leaf from Polyphony Digital's book. Look at how they do things. Don't rush. One of my favourite quotes goes "The race for quality has no finish line." it couldn't ring any more true right now.

I hope the next NFS won't be let down so badly by such silly mistakes.
