VERY disappointed with this latest release from EA - simply cannot overcome the steering problems despite trying various settings both in-game and 'on the wheel'.

There are references on the back of the disc box stating compatability with 'wheel' and 'force-feedback wheel' - yet clearly this is not the case.

I am of the opinion that the game should 'run' reasonably well 'out of the box', the array of additional customising options being available for those wishing to fine-tune default settings.

From what I've read so far, it seems everyone is experiencing similar issues - I have not read one comment anywhere yet which claims anyone has satisfactorily achieved optimimum settings for this game when used in conjunction with a wheel.

Surely, when EA state ' this is the next level of immersion' they are not referring to everyone spending relentless hours of frustration trying to get the cars to drive properly. No - surely they invisaged everyone rushing home, loading up the game and thrashing round the tracks all night!

A simple thing like trying to access the tabs within the 'options' menu via the LT and RT buttons on the wheel - well... anyone figured this one out yet?

Unless I'm totally 'off the mark' - I really do think everyone should simply return their purchase and demand a refund as the goods are clearly 'unfit for the purpose for which they are intended'.

Anyone tried the game using a standard controller - not something I'm used to using - but it didn't seem much better to me either - the whole thing needs to go back to the workshop.

Please give these issues some thought - constructive comments appreciated - Provide me with more ammo as I intend to take these issues up further with EA if no resolution is reach very soon.
 
Hi Sir

I recently buy a xbox 360 and have the some problem with my fanatec GT2 and NFS Shift 2 :-(
Note: I just only have 2 paddles LT and RT at wheel, i do not have 2 Fanatec shifter ( sequencial and 6 +1 gearbox).

Anyone know what´s the problem?

Second note: If i run NFS Shift 2 with the MS controller, and access to the menu options and change gear to manual, then quit game and than run game with fanatec GT2, the paddles works great when i drive a car, but not work inside game menu :-(

Many Thanks
 
To Slicker55 and others having issues with the 360 version and wheel usage:

Fanatec GT2 setting for Shift 2:

Check out this thread; I have posted my complaint as well:

http://www.needforspeed.com/post/shift-2-unleashed-pc-requirementssupported-wheel-list?page=2

Now, I did continue to mess around with the wheel and guess what I found a setting that works and pretty good as well:

Set the in-game steering lock to 160 (yes 160), set the in-game speed sensitivity to 25, set in-game steering sensitivity to 10. Then on the wheel set Sen to 270 and Dea to 10. Enjoy...it may not be the most realistic SIM experience but Im very fast using this set up.

This doesnt mean Im no longer complaining. I am ! the 6 speed shifter clearly doesnt work.

Let me know if this helps.
