Only Shift's PS3 Game Save is copy protected. This basically means that you are one crash away from losing EVERYTHING that you have ever done. Your Career, your Garage, your Decals, your W/L record...
EVERYTHING.
I had a LONG discussion with EA's Tech Support about this issue, and was fobbed off with one pathetic and transparently illogical reason after another, so it's a closed issue with Shift. I pay extra attention to saving my data at the end of every session, and haven't had a crash in quite a while (but had two earlier this year, dropping me to zero from Level 50 and losing all my tweaked cars), but I come across Friends and familiar racers all the time who are racing with MUCH lower records than they used to have. The issue has NOT gone away.
EA have stated to me definitively that they will NOT unlock Shift's save data, no matter WHAT the inconvenience to the PS3 players. So I, in response, told them DEFINITIVELY that I would NOT be buying Shift2 under any circumstances if the Game Save is still protected. Hot Pursuit's PS3 game save is NOT protected (at least in the demo) and neither is the Shift1 XBox and PC game saves, so obviously EA doesn't REALLY care about the issue.
So..... if you would, I encourage every single PS3 Shift player to directly contact EA (do NOT post on the EA forum, as EA simply don't read it!) and make the same pledge. Especially with GT5 soon to drop, it's not going to matter so much to you if you HAVE to miss out on Shift2, so NOW is the time to ratchet up the pressure on SMS/EA. If we ALL tell them that we won't be buying their next game unless this major inconvenience (for no apparent reason) is rectified, who knows? PERHAPS EA might take the necessary steps...
