i don't know if it happened to ou guys, but i was racing in an f686/m and i won the race and it was in tokyo r46. but when i went back to watch the replay, because it was a very close one in which i won ahead with only 0.041 seconds to spare tires where on red!! yeah i know i'm good:D but any way in the replayit showed that my car is all over the place, meaning i wasn't running with the other cars. my car was slamming into walls!! this is really weird:odd: but i won the race and collected the 10 points, why?????? is it a computer glitch or something:trouble:
 
yeah i had that on the tokyo track in my rx7 once... i won but the replay showed me stuck againt a wall for most of the race...

go figure hey
 
happened to me as well on the cote de azure (or however u spell it)

won the race but replay showed me standing still jammed up against the barrier for the whole replay :D
 
where u guys using hybrid\gameshark codes?
 
Or maybe you had the replay on the wrong car? ;)
 
That hapend to me too on midfield. It is a glitch... probably a result of the game replay method. The game seems to register youre control inputs while racing and then recreating the whole race afterwards based on them, and if some variable in the replay happens to differ from the race events then the registered control inputs dont match the situation. That makes you hit the walls, youre cars throttle and steering is still acting as it was in the race except youre route has changed, so they dont quite match... :trouble:
 
Thats a very good description of what most likely happens.

Although it is quite a common glitch in racing games, I remember it happening in GT2 at least once and in WRC on the PS2. So I suppose as long as they record the replay via the controlls inputted this will be a common glitch in racing games.

This happened to me as well. Was it the turn that is just after the turn that is after the hill (with the sun in your eyes)? Thats where I got stuck. The Pennzoil JGTC got spun around and stuck there the whole race until he got hit again. I watched the replay but instead of him in the wall it was me!
 
Huh,... I've watched countless replays for countless hours,.... never heard of such a phenomena :confused:

Though, it WILL happen if you try and cheat...... I don't suppose you guy's were trying to make it look like you were playing inside the rules,.. when you really weren't? Were you?.......................................:rolleyes:

hell no!
dont even know what a game shark looks like!
 
Iv'e never had it happen in GT3 or GTC.
It happened to me when I played WRCII, my car just drove off a cliff and when it came to my car was just constantly driving into the wall.
GT2 it happened to me once in the rally mode.
 
I can understand WRC because the car has to reset and the screen goes blank, also there is miles of terrain and data. Also GT2 was buggy as hell in some versions.

Still I haven't had it happen to me on GT3 or GTC, even when I have hacked hidden cars out of the game.
 
This happened to me once when i was playing TOCA 2 on Playstation.

Was quite funny to see actually. :)
 
So last night I sit myself down on the couch to watch the replay of my glorious victory in the last Pro Spider & Roadster race (15 laps at Cote d'Azur) in my Elise 190. A race I won by nearly a minute over the 2nd place car I might add.

I've got the replay set to show the Griffith because during the race he kept popping in and out of 2nd place and I wanted to see what foolishness he got up to. Sure enough on the first lap, at the box chicane after the tunnel he got stuck against the wall. It was so funny I had to watch it again so I restarted the replay.

Except that on the second viewing he didn't get stuck, WTF. So I start looking at what the other cars are doing and I find some bozo in a red Elise 190 with gold wheels stuck just before the tunnel. Wait a minute...that's my car!!!

I figured out that the replay manager had the position of the car un-sync'd with the movements or control inputs and was causing my car to get stuck against the wall at various places. I viewed the first few minutes three different times and my car got stuck in three different places.

I saved the replay and if I ever get a sharkport or similar I'll post it, it's hilarious.

Its happened to me a few times @ different tracks. I've never used any type of cheat with my game. Cheating is wrong it makes baby jesus cry. :dopey:
 
its just like a fault/glitch with the game, it used to happen to me alot.

Sorry Red Eye but i don't think so, i recon it's some kind of glitch.

This just happened to me two nights ago, for the first time ever, whilst using my 'Clean' [no cheats] memory card.

787B@Monaco.10Laps

I won the race, but the replay showed me just shunting back and forth between the crash barriers, on the up hill section just after the main straight. Wierd!

My DS2 'X' button is getting a bit near to its 'Use By' date, maybe that could be contributing to the glitch, who knows?

HTH.
 
I don't understand why some people do not believe this can happen without cheating. The PS2 runs based on numbers in hex and binary, so numbers can be truncated accidentally if anything weird happens to the system. Why do PCs screw up all the time? Why is the sky blue? Why does the positraction on the rear-end of a Plymouth work? It just does.

While playing Rallisport Challenge 2, I saved my replay because I had a spectacular crash. When I went back to watch the replay, after my crash my car just turned towards the wall of the tunnel, got stuck, and just sporadically accelerated into the wall. I was pretty pissed because I didn't get to see the second crash. After some time (a few days), I went back and watched the replay again, and it went through the whole thing as if nothing happened. Things screw up. It happens. Same thing goes with Tekken 4 and it's recording process for juggles in the game. Sometimes it records different things than what you inputted for your moves. Anyway, the PS2 isn't perfect, and maybe... just maybe.. PD's code could have random errors for particular events.

By the way, your DS2's button may not be going bad. Sometimes the rubber pad that rests on the sensor can get misaligned and cause problems. My D-Pad started cutting out (probably from getting pissed and chucking the controller at something), and I had to take it apart recently because I got tired of it not working - especially during racing. Turns out I had moved the position of the motors as well and that's why they weren't working properly, and once I just reassembled it (just place everything in its original spot again - very easy), the controller worked like new.
