So we might not get a patch.

I tend to agree with him Vaxxtx. Posting threads like this https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=211473 doesn't help either.

The context of my reply to you here was clear. I was responding to your accusation that we only care for PC users, nothing more. You've quoted me out of context, on another forum.


This ^ was Ians reply to you and with that being said I think you are taking him out of context. Just be patient I think we will get another patch
 
From IanBell on NoGrip:

You might not know how things work in the industry but we sign huge non disclosure agreements that limit what we can say about what and when. There's no desire to not answer anything and when we can't we say so.

What does this mean...your guess is as good as any!
 
I did take him out of context. I asked about the patch, and he was answering about consoles being ignored.

That was my bad. So might be good news for us yet?
 
Well ian seems to think there is no real issue with the ps3 and Shift also has a low return rate to prove it. This guy has his head stuck up his ass. I think it says volumes about SMS. I really wanted this game to work. Seems though they have moved on.

Invoking the TLA, NDA, after what's been said by Griff/Ian about the relationship with EA already, makes me think it's a Sony thing (who are kind of notoriously strict in this regard) preventing them from saying much more. And possibly why they don't hang out here so much.
 
I assume this is in the hands of EA. From what I understand, SMS does what EA asks them too.

I am hoping this means EA has or will ask the to push the patch ( assuming its done) soon to us. IF not, EA 1. Doesnt know about the issues (doubt it) 2. Not enough stink has come about to cause them concern 3. They ar waiting for the hype of PC DLC/Patch to die down to announce console patches.
 
@ fatkrakr: Being disrespectful certainly doesnt help. I know we are all frustrated but you should wait with any accusations until we have a definitive answer if there will be a 1.03 patch or not.

First up, my head isn't anywhere near my ass, you'd not say that to my face chum. Surely you can do better than that.

I was referring to user issue rates. These have been low on PS3 according to the information we are fed from EA's QA dept. We fix all of the bugs we are told to fix by the IP owner.

I'd add that even if there isn't one my head still isn't up my ass, honest.
 
Ian, I think the problem is people have done what I have been doing. I'll get the urge to play, get frustrated by the issues and take it out to play something else and just not care about it after that. Sure I should be letting EA/SMS know but its never on my mind around that time.

Just my 2c
 
Ian, I was referring to the rest of his post. The ass/head part was finished for me with "being disrespectful doesnt help"... :sly:

So now that you bless us with your presence here, is there anything you can tell us on any possible 1.03 console patch, please?

We are restricted from talking about this via a huge NDA guys. I've stated this many times but it ends up 10 pages back and the frustration builds. I'd be writing essays if I was allowed to.

We all know that Mitch but I for one have traded 10 to 15 emails with EA and they eventually gave me a LE code... there is even one user here (forgot the nick) that bought a new Slim because EA told him the problem was with is FAT and he still gets the freezes...

Theres not many players that get that far into the game (for various reasons) and those that do (the ones that should really matter to SMS) most dont report the issues (just like you)

So it seems that us console users (mainly PS3) get the short end of the stick here...

PS: a word of advise to SMS - Shift 1 on the PS3 had horrible frame rate and a lot of issues (damage inicialy just to name one) and was left unfinished... this one isnt looking any better, so you should probably get someone to help code better the PS3 versions...
 
Ok, Ian. If you are not allowed to talk about a potential 1.03 patch coming or not, I d like to add 2 questions:

1. Is there a person at EA, Sony/MS we could ask about it?
2. Why did you and Griff already say that console patch 1.03 is coming out/submissioned to EA (Griff) or not (you, today).

Thanks for taking the time.

You can try this but I dont think it will help - http://support.ea.com.

or email them at this customerservice@ea.com
 
Ian, I hope you understand that most are just VERY frustrated. And like many have said it is partly blamed on not getting their voice heard. AND, I believe most the frustration is because the game "could be" great! Many don't want to give up.

Your comment from NoGrip in response to my PS3 freezing post:
"Thanks for the info. The honest truth is that we get a list of bugs from EA and we fix them. This hasn't been passed to us."

That blows many of us away! If anyone had been reading the posts here on GTPlanet they would have known. Not saying that person should have been you. You get my point.

1. I know of no one beyond the standard service links.
2. I haven't said it is or it isn't. I can't speak for Griff. He's our PC lead BTW.
 
I apoligize for any disrespect I was frustrated when I read what I thought was a post saying there was no big issues. I just dont understand why the secrets about a patch. Guess just gotta be in the buisness.

You are being heard guys. It's just that we're not free to respond to things that our out of our remit, much though we'd like to.

If this issue has been passed to EA support I can't for the life of me see why we didn't get a request to fix it via their QA dept. We certainly don't want any of our customers to be experiencing issues like this and would of course fix it.

That's OK, I get your frustration. We do want to fix all issues and will fix anything passed to us.
 
Ok Ian, thanks for bothering in answering our questions.👍
E.A. should follow Your example!
Can You tell us who was responsible for the Q.A. for the PS3 version of S2U?
SMS or E.A. ?



Thanks!

We have one guy in QA verifying the builds that we deliver run. All the QA proper is taken care of by the publisher.
 
Hmmm, heres an OT question/s.

Will we ever see proper endurance races in Shift 2 with fuel consumption and tire wear modelled?

Any chance of getting GTE and LMP cars?

Will the weightlessness still felt after the patches we've had so far be fixed? I.E make the cars feel like they weigh something and not be so tail happy.
 
Well I sent an e-mail to EA, and now doing thier "Live Chat" support. Not sure what this will do...
