SHIFT Patch Release Details

This is good to see. Like many others, I've put this game on the back burner until some of these get addressed.

I really don't understand how anyone has been able to get through tier 4 (on PS3).
 
Wasn't being sarcastic or anything, just saying... :ouch:

The way it was said suggest to me, you obviously know he works on the game, so you should realise why his info is valid when clearly I had no idea. That said, I'll forget about it :).

Once the patch is released I may look into getting a second hand version of Shift seeing as there's a fair amount kicking around, until then though, I'm keeping my cash (or buying Dirt 2).
 
I've been (trying) to play the 360 version since it came out, but recently upgraded my DFP to a G25 so thought I'd check out the PS3 version. Been playing since last night and have to say the difference is amazing. God knows what idiot programmed the FFB for the Microsoft wheel, but compared to what I was used to the PS3 version has plently of grip. With the patch coming, things can only get better. đź‘Ť
 
Do it! You won't regret it. :)

I probably will for something different as Shift appears to be a love or hate game, and I have enough road racing action for my appetite at the moment and I've been a long time rally fan. I don't have the cash to risk on a game I might not like, I have cash for 1 game and Shift hasn't done the job of sealing it. All the people on my PSN have already stopped playing Shift and thats not a good sign, fact is that this game appears to need this patch with so many important things wrong, it seems like the game was rushed to a deadline when it would've been better off to get out a fully working title from day 1 (or close to).
 
Hi guys,

I really feel good and i hope this game get more and more gamers compare to another games. It is really nice game. i have completed 75% since 2 days.. I really enjoyed myself with it..

Then this is for you.Driving this with wheel is much more like driving rally,and thats probably why so many Prologue player hate this.Just a little bit 'lost' when needed to tame those slides?

Come on, buddy-is it really necessary to stroke your ego in a thread about a much-needed patch? :rolleyes: Cars slide in Prologue, try setting the physics to 'Professional' and pick some street tires.



Sounds like a great patch, look forward to playing the game.

Im one of those VERY few who uses ABS 0 in Prologue+those 'street' tires.And clutch and cockpit,but where are those to race against who uses these settings?
Waiting for private lobbys đź‘Ť
Use ABS 0 in Prologue and you find it more pleasant.Slower,but more sim like!
 
I'm sorry .... I thought this was about discussing a patch for Shift ?

I want to know when we can expect EA to follow through with their teaser :)
 
- Improved car handling. I'd like to know what this means. I'm hoping it means Pro mode becomes a proper sim.

Don't hold your breath. It's most likely just a fix for all the handling "issues", not a complete makeover of the physics system (most likely, anyway).



;)
 
But you don't know how much those "issues" were affecting the optimum of the engine. I know on games I've worked on, you can literally spend months tweaking complex aspects, finding what works, can be a bit "oooh, I've found a needle in the hay stack", but then you find another needle that you didn't know was there.
 
You guys really need to add more car power ratings to online play!
Some of my favorite cars have ratings higher than 14 but much lower than the cars in the unlimited category, that means I just can't use these cars online & be competitive.

At bare minimum I'd like to see races for level 16 & 18 cars.
 
Well, whatever the 🤬 they're doing I wish they'd hurry the hell up with that patch!!

I just turned the game on this morning and found that all my game data, all my car vinyls, all my Carreer progress EVERYTHING had been lost, corrupted whatever... God! what a waste of time! I don't mind re-starting the Carreer mode, but I'd made some really nice car graphics. Spent hours on them. All gone... And to add insult to injury when I try to re-start the carreer it tells me all my garage slots are full! What crap people will put up with in the name of "entertainment"!

I like this game and I'll continue to play it, but I can tell you this will be the last time I buy a title from EA. đź‘Ž
 
OP says, "We're currently working through the testing process so don't have a confirmed date yet; as soon as we do we'll update the thread."

That was on the 4th. It's not too far away.
 
I hope they do release it soon. I'd been having a largely bug-free experience till last night, when not only did I finally get the Corvette stuck on the grid, I then had my Exige go nuts and start spinning wildly in the very next race, I had an undriveable Carrera GT at Spa, and a neverending time lap battle at Silverstone in my Lamborghini. BAM! All one after the other!
 
It won't be far off, I have known for some title updates to spend a couple of weeks with Sony/MS QA.
 
I've sent the game back to GameFly so I could get MW2. When you guys post the patch, I'll buy the game.
 
I stopped playing the game 1 month ago :( and was thinking about selling it to a friend but if there's any news Andrew about the release date that would be helpful I might keep the game...it has been too much waiting and it's collecting dust :ouch:
 
Thanks for getting the new patch posted. Would have been great if it was Tweeted. None the less, because I poked @NeedForSpeed about it, I found out about the patch :)

Now, with my birthday this weekend, it would be nice if a family member would step up so I can have something to keep me busy until March/April/May whenever GT5 gets here.
