Man. Guys. Some of the tracks in this game are frackin exhilarating! Glendale West might be my new favorite track in any racing game. Besides the real tracks, each made up track seems to be designed around a certain section to test a certain driving skill. Its like every track is Laguna Seca, but swap the back end for some other signature. Pretty cool!

There's one track that has you come straight off a wide, shallow, steep Nascar style turn-----directly onto another medium turn that is flat. This throws your car into a wonderful slide oh my goodness.

These are my final master settings that will not be changing:

PS3 specific:

50% = max
Steering Deadzone: 50%
Accelerator Deadzone: 15%
Braking Deadzone: 50%
Steering Sensitivity: 11%
Acceleration Sensitivity: 11%
Braking Sensitivity: 65%
Speed Steering Sensitivity: 65% (I don't really know what this does, but this seems nice)

*those settings are for PS3 with a Dualshock 3. They may get you in a nice ballpark on a 360 or the PC versions with Pad X. But maybe not.

Universal settings for all verisions:

*There are a suprising amount of options to tune if you pick the advanced mode. But the basic tuning mode covers the spread nicely, so just use that*

Steering Lock: 48 (you may want it faster for the couple of small tracks with corner after corner)
Balance (This is the most important one): Max out the Oversteer. Yes, I said the Oversteer.
Downforce: Now, you can play here too, but if you want to really carve corners and have a pretty nice connection to the road feel set it from 80 - 100%. It doesn't really affect your speed as much as it lets on.

Driving model adjustments:

AI: Hard
Handling: Experienced
Anti-Lock Brakes: on
Traction Control: Low
Stability Control: off

(depending on your style, you may want the stability control on. I find that with TC low and SC off, it brings out each car's personality better)

Anyone have suggestions on to get the master corners. Most of the tracks I have all but 2 corners and I can never seem to get them. Just wondering if I am doing something wrong. Thats one of the badges that I dont have.

Use a slower car. I mastered almost every corner with the Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

HELP:

Has anyone purchased the Audi R8 and been able to put a works upgrade on it?

I have all upgrades and do not get the works option

Is the car able to get a Works upgrade? Not all cars are

Toptube · 11-03-2009, 06:51 AM

Yeah, I realized this after looking at a FAQ on game faqs.

...makes those cars sort of useless since you can't race them in a lower class...

BlackLightShark009 · 11-07-2009, 09:11 AM

I'm having a lot of fun with this game. Just got it thursday but have played only 3hr so far. Started with a RX-8 then bought a Evolution X. Only thing i wish i could do is have R3 my shifting. The R1/L1 though is not effecting my driving...,just was used to R3 shifting. I'm off to race more! Might see you guys on the track.

Trailbreaker77 · 01-26-2010, 01:53 PM

I hate the drift racing I can not figure it out. I have been trying for hours. The badges are coming along nicely my wife got me a racing seat for christmas so the racing in this game is a breeze for me. I love driving the new Camaro, domination!

kjacobs03 · 01-26-2010, 04:22 PM

Did they ever patch this game? I let my brother borow it so I havn't been able to check.

Well I can say nothing new since December. I am not home now to tell you what version I am running. Sorry

IStoleYourUsername · 02-15-2010, 03:06 AM

What the heck with the controls on this game and why can't I use the buttons I want to use!!!

I like the X as my accelerator and square as my brake.....not the right stick and not the shoulder buttons.

Nielsb90 · 02-15-2010, 08:50 AM

Can't you change the controls?

Thats generally how PS3 racers handle.. The R2 button gives you the abiliy to slow down without letting go of the gas.. Most people, me included, prefer it that way

Therickus · 04-18-2010, 03:42 PM

I keep getting a glitch near the end of the game, when i am in the final three circuits. At the end of Nuremburg on the second series, after the race my game just turns off. Has anyone had this happen to them?

Yes! I got this game last week, been playing it since then. Last night on the final series I won all 5 games and when it was loading results it just turned off and went to the XMB. And of course it didn't save. I was so pissed. I'm in no mood to race that all again.

Therickus · 04-19-2010, 01:10 PM

Yeah, I have done it twice now, and both times the game just shut off.

I have been playing this a lot lately I don't think I know where that is. I have not had any problems with the game just shutting off.

Therickus · 04-20-2010, 07:09 PM

Whatever the Tier is After Tier 4....there are three series. At the end of the second series, the game shuts off and goes to the Playstation XMB.

Trailbreaker77 · 04-20-2010, 07:22 PM

Oh gotcha, that's the NFS championship I think. I have that unlocked but have not tried it yet, I will give it a try tonight see what happens.

Trace17 · 04-21-2010, 03:41 AM

Well this time it didn't reset back to the XMB and I won the series and it unlocked the last race. Odd thing is, when I click L2 or whatever to get Series info and go to the last race, it shows 5/5 stars but under lap time it says "not raced".

Whatever.
