Need for Speed Racing Games

I ran into this with the invitational race at spa with the porsche carrera gt.

Dude the Porsche GT race at Spa is a joke. Eau Rouge is impossible as it is like sliding on ice (Assuming you haven't activated the super-low-rider-hydraulics at about 100mph+). But the AI have no problems what so ever.

<toilet flush sounds> "Bye Bye $60"

PS3; Logitech G25 wheel...

Just started getting the bounce problem with a mildly tuned (13.96 points) Porsche 911 GT2.

Also have the flag girl poking through the car on the grid.

Also have massive audio dropouts during online play. Not using a a headset.

Several weird problems with vinyls... On the GT2, cannot see vinyls added to either side of the car, regardless of what they are: primitives, community, manufacturers, stripes, etc. The names get added to the list, but they do not appear. (Have successfully added vinyls to the sides of other cars. Have successfully added vinyls to the top, front and rear of the GT2.)

Followed the advice on settings given in the forum to improve the car handling, by setting HIGHER levels of oversteer to effectively REDUCE oversteer.

Game locked up once while selecting a career race. Had to shut power down on the PS3 to recover.

Otherwise, GREAT game! Really enjoying the car and track selection, the handling (at tier 3), and the online aspect. Please continue to work with this game to make it the Gran Turismo beater we all would like to see it become!

PS: Would like to see the following tracks and cars added:

Infineon (Sears Point)
Monaco GP street circuit
Buttonwillow
Watkins Glen

(But thanks for Laguna Seca, Willow Springs, and Spa!)

MINI Cooper S (Supercharged R53 - what I drive IRL)
Ariel Atom
More Porsches - 944, 964 (last of the air-cooled 911s), 50's speedster, etc.
Fiat Spyder 2000
MGB
Triumph TR6

I would really appreciate someone looking into the steering issues that arise with using a ps2 type controller on the PC.

I have a Logitech Rumble Pad 2 and when i try to take a corner, despite lots of adjustments both in game and in os, the car just wants to kick out the rear. Turning is so hard! it just makes me want to give up on the game.

PLEASE HELP

To whom-ever it may concern in EA:

Dear Sirs,

I've been antecipating highly the release of need for speed shift. As such, I've bought it on the release day in Portugal - last Friday, the 18th September. Over the weekend I've experienced the majority of the "bugs" and "glitches" already reported by other people (I have the PS3 version). Such as I expect to be contacted by your technical support for a presentation of a conclusive solution to all the mentioned issues or else, as stated by law, I demand full refund of the €69,99 euros I've spent, on the moment I return the game to the address you indicate.

Thank you

EA... break yoru streak and please release a game without all these obvious glitches. Its like cheating on a test you know its wrong but you do it anyway. your reputation precedes you...not that you guys care obviously or you would release a game that actually works and doesn't make you guys look like a bunch of idoits. Stop hiring the mentally retarded! despite what you think they can't create games. FIX your *, GET IT RIGHT.

I'm on the PS3 and I have EXACTLY the same problems. I was *barely* able to complete and win the F1 vs. 722 battle, but forget the carrera gt and veyron challenges, especially the veyron challenge. It wants a clean lap in one lap around a 13mi. track!?!?! You've GOT to be kidding me. It seems like tier 2 and higher cars have the bouncy glitch. I haven't noticed it on the few tier 1 cars I've driven. THIS ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!!!

Need game testers? i know you got an office down the street from me..... will work for food and actually list problems for the development team to fix..... Fire all idiots, just doctor up previous write ups for same issue and you wont have to pay them un-employment...I know... management potential i have. and i even write completely un-productful post... i should fit in perfectly.

Put the game back on and was playing carreer because of all the online issues.

In tier III Manufacturer races, the corvette Z06 at Donington National event i cant move. its like my transmission is broke, it will shift through the gears and it even acts like the clutch is grabbing but then the rpms drop and it just revs and catches and revs and catches over and over again. like i'm driving a billion pound car with a 400HP motor. I think thats the problem, it seems to move the car ever so slightly, so i think maybe the cars mass is just insanely to high, someone made a error entering it in or something on the back end. I could be wrong though

yeah, i just tried to do the carrerra GT invitational, wow. make that #14 on my list i believe

just listen to the music selected for the sound-track(not the game sounds) and you'll know why this game is effed up.

I'm the prowd owner of a copy of need for speed: shift for the ps3, it's really a great game with a lot of potential, till the tier 3 manufacture competition! The 911 GT2 race at london river bounces off the track, the SL65 AMG race at silverstone is not that bad, but if not driven PEERFECTLY! ..the mercedes will bounce FAR off the track.. The Exige race at glendale is extreme, it bounces and gets worse and worse, like you "introduction" said.. But the corvette z06 race at donington won't even drive at all, it's just standing there not being able to move at all, do the car miss a differential or something? hehe.. no, but serious.. UPDATE OUR GAMES PLEASE!!! Hurry EA, I wanna keep playing this game, but it's kinda hard when the cars don't work..
A few other minor problems, the vinyls won't stay the way they should, and the sound disappear sometimes.. The G25 racing wheel sometimes miss ALL force feedback, which is incredibly anoying!
Give ous a bug fix or I'll demand a refund.

Oh, and by the way, could you throw in some customization DLC's on playstation store? many players would appreciate this..

Thanks..

Just to add. Viper in Ford GT vs Viper doesn't move nor does the Z06 Corvette in the manufacturer race. this is PC version.
As for the bouncing I have all my suspension turned down to soft and it removes some of it. I also feel the lateral movement, or 'weight' is too severe. In my opinion there is not enough force on the Z axis helping to put gravity onto the cars. AI cars seem fine and are unaffected by suspension or lack of weight.
Also, the Skyline R34 when fully tuned with Works parts does not have an animated dashboard digital rev counter, nor does the fully tuned Works RX-8.

Apart from that all's fine. It looks great on PC and I am enjoying it, but it needs patching asap.

do you mean bouncy as in up and down, or as in boucning from left to right?

i use a G25 on PC and i had a problem with zig-zagging until i enabled "centering spring" in the logitech profiler settings under "options>Global Device Settings" ...

make sure its enabled if you use g25 and i left mine at 100% works ok for me but i havent fine tuned the game yet, but its a vast improvement.

Bouncing up, down, left right, bouncing out of controll.. even when I'm driving at 20 km/h.. it's lame.. btw, I'm also using a G25, but with the ps3 system..
I just noticed an extreme lag:S tier 3 usa vs. europe.. one specific corner of a course that i don't remember what is called a.t.m.. but from that corner till a minute later, the game is running in like slow-motion or something.. there are soooo many bugs that needs to be fixed in this game, but when it's "patched up", it'll be sooooo great I personally love this game, and I doubt anything remotely close to it's realism and greatnes will be seen, till gran turismo 5 is in store.. EA, all I want for christmas, is my nfs running smooth hehe..
