Thats what I emailed to EA support. If I were a lawyer, I'd swear that I smell a lawsuit. But i'm not a lawyer so I guess thats just bacon that I smell.]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3197376.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3197376.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3199161.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3199161.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3200914.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3200914.page
I have to agree I heard reports about this last year

EDIT: They have addressed this as "menu bug fixed" or something like that. It's in the patch list on the shift discussion forums]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3202418.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3202418.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3293551.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3293551.page

I'm going through the forum right now and collecting data on the corrupted saves and crashes that are being reported. Keep posting, and I'll let you all know as soon as I have more information.

Thanks,

Anyway, installed the 1.02 patch today, doesn't solve the problem. So I guess the data file is really corrupted.]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3301811.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3301811.page
same for me, the patch didn't solve this bug.
I guess all users who reach level 40 gets this problem (on PS3 at least).
How come EA didn't fix this problem???
Really unhappy about the customer feedback.

Thanks for the response on this. At least I don't feel I'm being ignored on this now. I have now been able to get to level 47 without corruption, but I feel its only a matter of time. If I can help in any way, just let me know.]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3312380.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3312380.page Is this the 2nd or 3rd time reaching l47? I would backup the save file if I were you. Mine save was at l45.

One thing that may work for you is "start new career" i did this, and though i lost all my money, i was brought to the "buy car" screen after winning the initial BMW intro race. One thing i found interesting was that I was able to select cars from all the tiers I had previously unlocked. I did not have any money to buy them, but just the fact that it seemed to be "remembering" my previous save was interesting. When trying to buy any car though, it says I cannot because I have no free garage slots. Had I had free garage slots in my previous save, perhaps i would have been able to buy a car and resume my career?? not sure. i would have lost all my money though.


EA please fix this issue so i can play the game i payed $50 for. its the holiday season for *'s sake.]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3318122.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3318122.page Those that have the problem with NFS Shift save game forcing you to start a new career. I got this information from a post in this forum and gave it a try. After you start the new career and complete the opening races. When you are given the opportunity to pick you first car purchase a car that you have not had before from the Playstation store. Once I did this I went directly in to the first career race without going to the garage. After I completed the race I went to the garage. PS3 froze and I had to re-start system. Went back in to game and this time I was able to access the garage. There were 3 available slots all other slots were locked. The three slots were filled with three of my cars. I sold one and the spot was filled with another one of my cars form the game. So I sold every car but my two best cars. I was a level 49 at that point and I have since moved to level 50. That unlocked 2 more garage slots and now I have 5. It’s not perfect but I have all my xp, awards and the money from selling all the cars.

Good Luck – if you have Questions – psn Ed-Money

+this thread
Just a few examples
Wish someone would come to my workplace and do my work for me.
Oh well, maybe we have all just imagined this very same problem.

Another hint for you. Since this problem is platform independent, you might start by asking those people affected by this to send you a copy of their save game file(if possible, i'm not familiar with the PS3). That seems to be the logical first step. I'll get back to you on how to write out the check.]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3398549.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3398549.page
I've been at level 50 for quite some time. I have over 18 million dollars and a pretty full garage. Now I can't play the game because after racing the test run, I can't buy a car to "start" my career because it says I have no slots. I could have sworn that I had 2 slots left the last time I played.

I DO NOT want to start over! If that is the only option, then I'll be pretty much done with any game from EA. This is ridiculous! Number 1, why can't we back up our game saves????? No. 2, from reading this forum, ON THE EA SITE, this seems to be a common and well known issue, so why haven't you done anything about it????? No. 3, I JUST got the new DLC and thank you for that, and for making it free, but what good is it, if I can't play the damn game?????]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3400752.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3400752.page
I just wanted to restart my PS3 and play NFS after all the food & fun.
But oh noes! There's the 'Start new career' bug.

I'm freaking level 50, over 1 million of carreer points.
Almost all badges etc...

Really, thanks..]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3406834.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3406834.page BUMP ]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3504503.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/334858/3504503.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/0/439963.page#4077509
