Hey we're famous!

Oh, OK not really, but for those interested there's actually an intelligent (and intellegable) conversation on Shift physics over on the NFS Forum. Our League here is mentioned briefly (by Teeheeaid in the 9th post) in the discussion as an example of Shift racers driving without driving assists.

I knew it was only a matter of time till we hit the Big Time. :lol:


There is a little village in Galia who hasn't sucumbed to the roman empire...
Thats the beginning of all stories in Asterix comics(i dunno if you guys read it in the states) thats how i feel after reading that post...ho and I am Obelix by the way...:lol:
 
guys i have a big big big problem i have lost my save game for NFS shift :crazy::scared::ouch::nervous::sick::guilty::yuck:👎:grumpy:

dont ask how it happened i dont understand my self its just gone.
i have been hard at it for 2 hours and am just getting to tier 3, i am so mad i had like 45 million in my bank i could buy and do what i wanted to any car now i am back at the start.

i should will be able to do the ambush canyan and leguna seca races but as for aotupolis i am unsure.

i have the game set to easy racing line on so i can get maxxim stars so i progress to the higher tires faster and i am basically ramming every one i can to get as meany stars as possible, i even keep one guy infornt of me untill the last lap i can ram him all the way through the race to get as meany stars as i can as fast as i can.

Man that totally sucks. 👎


I had heard from several other places that when that happens you have to do the following:
  • Start New Career
  • Race the Trial Race
  • Then when it tells you to buy a car, you should get the message that your garage is full.
  • When that happens you buy the car not from your availabe cash, but from the Playstation Store. (I think here it costs $2)
From what I've seen people say, this re-connects your old save game files to the game again.

I don't know for certain if this works or not. When my saved game disappeared I deleted all the old files, because I didn't know any better. You probably did that too, right?

I can't believe a four month old game still has these kind of problems... :ouch:

That's what i have done mate i am gutted, i tried the ps store and had no luck.
I am 40 stars away from tier 4 now so i am confident i could have it completed in time for tomorrow nights race, I HOPE.
its going to leave no time to practice the tracks for tomorrow either.

I honestly don't know. It's in Loaner cars, so I never noticed when I recieved it. :(

Just bad luck...
 
Guys i already hardwired my ps3 into the modem and i strongly advice everyone to do the same...the last couple of weeks connection issues trought the psn,in this and other games, seemed to have incresed and for this event not to be a restart nightmare we should take all the possible contra measures...
I made space on my friends list :guilty: so everyone who is in my lobby and stil not on my friends list(sorry again for that:guilty: )just please send me an invite so i can add you thanks:tup:
 
:Sorry i know this is not the thread to ask the question but i really dont know where else to ask...can anyone maybe explain why Terronium closed his tuning thread? I was quite schocked (and i think hundreds like me) to see the sudden closure without warning. Been one of my favourite sites which made Shift so much more enjoyable. I hope that someone can shed a but more light on this and that T12 returns soon :rolleyes

Well his XBox 360 died. So he can't play Shift. To make matters worse his computer suffered some sort of failure as well. I believe he is planning to get Shift for his PS3 in the next few days, so when he does I expect he'll re-open the RT tuning thread.
 
ok i am back in business only just tho.
now i have to get 500,000 profile points so i can earn maximum money as i am getting 20,000 a race now :grumpy:

but i have selected hazy view 8 an put it on max laps and max players and basically turned the race into a total massacre, ram s meany of them as i can, its working i am getting 6 to 7,000 points a race so it should not be too long untill i am level 50 again.
 
Not that this has anything to do with anything, but the mid-East Coast in the US is in the midst of a big (for us) snowstorm.

Here is the view from The Cave where my racing rig and PS3 is located. This window is about 10 inches above ground level. Right now we're at 22 inches of snow on the ground and it's still coming...

Of course NITROVIOUS and femki probably see this all the time, being from the Great White North. :)
 
I just wanted to remind everyone that as it says on Page 1, our START TIME is 4:00 pm US Eastern Standard Time. That would be 9:00 pm in the UK and Portugal. (I'm really hoping this doesn't come as a surprise to anyone).


We also have a new racer who would like to join the League. His PSN name is adddictions (no typo, three d's). Please add him to your PSN friends list. Thanks.👍
Welcome adddictions! :cheers:
 
I hope there's a spot in there for me, I'll be joining next week.

Time is fine to me...👍
Manny will adddictions join your lobby or mine?
 
I'll be online in about 10 mins. to do some pratice if anyone cares to join please pm me...
 
For those guys checking in here after 4pm and finding the races have started. Don't worry about it. I'll be more than happy to host Make-up races at any convenient time. I apologise for not sending out the reminders earlier. Mea culpa....:guilty:
 
ok bye bye
i will not be accused of punting, by anyone, especially after apologising for getting inside on that corner .
i'm out
 
Can i just remind the person who was driving the MX5 in the second race, when you ram someone off the track please wait and let them regain that place :grumpy: from second to last nice one 👎

All right, I'm sorry. From my view, it looked like you rammed me.
 
Well... fun but tiresome evening. 2 disconnects and then an average race at laguna (it was a fun race).
Hog: I'm so sorry if I hit you. You know I would have let you past if I had known (after all, that is what got me last place or something in the road america race last weekend).
Where was it that I hit you? Addictions said something about us being side by side???
Also, in the second race, thanks for letting me past SteveO :)
Lastly, I was in 6th I think in the second race, then was booted after 8 laps, do I get those points?
 
Manny Aldo should be allowed to do the 2 first races since we has disconnected from both but after 3rd lap...👎
Stevo(did you liked my pink gallardo :drool: ...:) )must be alowed to do the 2nd race since he pulled aside very early on the race...it seems it was a racing incident...
Femky was also disconnected from 2nd race...👎 so another candidate for make up races...


GREAT CLASSICAL RACING TONIGHT:tup:👍👍

But i like to remember everyone of us (me included) that what brought us all toghether in this league that Manny very gently putted toghether was to have some nice CLEAN racing in shift...most important than winning is doing it properly...if anyone comes to this league searching for winning rating he isn't fitting in(we even do breaks during races that count for that rating so you see nobody here gives a **** about that...) so remember if you hit someone wait until that person regains his place ahead of you, this way he'll know it wasn't on purpose and there will be no hard feelings...
On the other hand most people here have been playing toghether for a couple of months and know each other and have to consider this game in some tracks with some cars it is very difficult to overtake without any contact at all and the prediction code for online racing is far from perfect...
We all know NITROVIOUS as a clean (and fast:scared: ) racer so when he hits me i KNOW it wasn't on purpose...👍👍👍
 
I'm gonna have an aching back tomorrow... :ouch:
Of course NITROVIOUS and femki probably see this all the time, being from the Great White North. :)

Manny, no snowblower? "Unfortunately" we have very little snow up here, probably less total on the ground now than what you've gotten in one day.
 
Hey steveo, I think you are talking about me in that second race. This was at the start I was in grid behind you. From my view it seemed like you missed the light and never took off. I hit my brakes and hit you, from what I remember neither of us ran of the track and I continued to race. I try to play as fair as possible, but it seemed like to me that you never moved. If I am wrong then I apologise, hopefully there will be videos again. Steveo if you remember in race 1 we had contact and I waited and gave you the position. Please believe me I say it was not intentional. Had some good races today, took 3rd on autopolis:tup:, I just didn't want to get a DNF. Second was a good one I stayed alone for the most part. I had fun trying to chase arvore down. The 3rd race wasn't as good, I seemed to have had a lot of screen lag. People would just appear in front of me, I would see them ahead on screen watch them run off the road and then phuff, their right in front of me. I'm not complaning, I still had fun racing with you guys. Playing with you guys is getting my lap times lower.
