EA you really messed this one up. Peter moore, whoever did the testing on this game, you obviously had a team that was NOT listening and released it before it was ready. I am boycotting EA games because of this. How dare you charge $70 to the consumer for a Broken Game!!! Ridiculous.

Hey I am having the exact same issue. I have a 360 version. The Carrera GT just bounces like crazy on the spa invitational although the AI cars going faster around the same corner remain flat on the track. it makes this track uinplayable and you can't modify the tuning because it is an invitational event.

Also the Corvette wont launch off hte line. I have that problem. I also have a problem with other cars bouncing irradically.

The game has frozen in replay mode and just keeps looping over and over again.

The easy tuning method is a joke and can make your 200mph lambo maxed out works top out at 130mph for no appearant reason even when you feel it hsould be going alot faster. i had to go back and reset my advanced tuning to default to fix it but any slight changes can still affect performance big time. Plus the works upgrades often appear to be a downgrade in car performance.

I also have the girl glitching in the car at the intro to every racing pretty much

ALSO!!! TO GAME REVIEWERS!!! All of you who gave this game such stellar reviews without so much of a mention of any of the glitches or issues you had. How Dare you!! Talk about not being responsible and bowing in to corporate sponsership pressures!!! IGN, You were the worst! Don't think you can make me beleive for one second you didn't experience any of the issues talked about on this forum!!! FOR SHAME!!!!! 9out of ten?? What a joke!! More like 4.5 with the potential to be a 9 without the bugs!!!!

A workaround for this is posted in another thread. Here is a summary of the related issues:

Some of the muscle cars will not move if you're last tune was done with advanced tuning. Regardless of which car you tune, the choice of quick or advanced tuning affects all cars. The workaround is to go to "my cars", then tuning, then switch to quick tuning. I'm not sure if you have to actually change anything. If you do need to change something, I recommend buying a spare car and use that for quick tuning fix.

Second bug - once you tune any car using quick tune, it affects all your other cars, so once you get past an event where a muscle car wasn't moving, then you have switch back to advanced tuning, here it's easy to move a slider then move it back without affecting anything.

Third bug - some of the advanced tuning stuff won't take. The one that I've found so far is if you change any gear to max speed (far right), it won't stay that way, it will revert back one setting.

Fourth bug - Sometimes your tuning settings won't go into affect until after you restart a race.

Bouncing bug - somewhat cured by tuning: I set both fast rebound rates to max stiff (fixes bouncing on some cars like works Camaro SS).

Better grip - (not a bug, but might as well include it here): For tuning in general, I set tire pressures to 30psi, or maybe 29psi (note the Zonda R defaults to about 27psi). I haven't tried to optimize this.

Dodge Viper SRT10 (versus Ford GT) won't launch during an "Driver Duel" Invitational Event on PS3 on track Willow Springs GP. The Viper won't move at all until you are behind the lead car by 5 seconds and then it moves automatically because you've lost.

PS3
Invitational Event
Driver Duel
Ford GT vs Dodge Viper SRT10
Willow Springs GP race track

#1 Ford GT works fine. Viper SRT10 will not move at all.

#2 There is oversteer on every car and this needs to be manually corrected for each and every car.

#3 The replay buttons do not work when "clicked" (X button pressed) the first time. The button will work the second time, however, the current button (the button with focus) is not highlighted until you move left or right and then the replay button with focus is then highlighted.

I'll keep sending them as I find them.

Oops forgot to finsish my thought...

Anyway as I was saying...

It occurred on the Tier 3 Manufacturers’ race with stock Corvette Z06's. Car refuses to launch and simply crawls forward. Thus far it’s the only time I've had this happen and despite resetting as well as racing several other events the car still refuses to launch when attempting the race again. Me thinks a patch is in order.

Edit: I did finally get the car to move and completed the race, but it required a few work arounds to get it going.

I have this issue with the Invitational with the Ford GT and Viper. The Viper sits there and does not move. I was using an Xbox 360 wireless controller. My platform - PC, Phenom II 955 BE, GTX260, 8XDDR3 1333mhz.

Having problems in singel player launching the Corvette and the Viper.

The shifting works the gas as well but the cars dont move.
I am using a G25 steering wheel on the pc.

Quad core sli 2x 8800 Gts vista 32 bits.

pleas need help !!!!!!

Real good game by the way.

I have this exact same problem and I'm using the PS3.

I have an issue with Dodge Viper SRT 10 car. In the Invitational event of Ford Vs Dodge car battle. When I was accelerating the car was stationary. So I played with Ford GT & won the game.

Ditto here for the Viper problem. PS3 here. Not a problem if you use the GT40, though!!! God, I hope and pray that a fix for all of the problems is coming soon, because the game would really be great if they did!!!

Quoted for relevance and truth.

PLEASE, EA, BE PRUDENT AND BE QUICK IN FIXING THE BUGS, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT A WINNER ON YOUR HANDS IF YOU DO.

Xbox 360 Elite

I've had launching issues on Z06 (Advance Tuned) which I was able to work around and get the car going.

As of last night I was getting launching issues on the Z06 stock race and the Z06 vs race in Career mode.

Thanks.

I have a Scion Tc Stage III full upgrade, and since Stage II upgrade i've been having rolling start problems, as the ai usually selects the wrong gear and launches at rev limit.

Also when this happens, the engine sound starts matching the turbo pitch instead of the engine revs, meaning the only way to notice revs is using the tach from the car, it's really confusing. restarting race solves the problem.

In Tuning, despite the fact that my car has Stage 3 body upgrade and Stage 3 transmission, quick tuning shows downforce and gearing locked, i don't remember ever seeing them unlocked.

Advanced settings shows all options fine, but gearing won't let me select highest speed option from final drive gear ratio, to 6th gear ratio, and the car reaches rev limit in 6th gear pretty quickly.

starting with everything at default setting, choosing the slider all the way to speed (5.29), will stay there, until i go back to the previous menu, then when i come back to check, it's back on the previous notch (5.44)

hope this helps if this is a bug, i'm using PC version of the game on an I7 processor with an Nvidia video card.
