I have a little question :

For people who have unlocked the eclipse 1999, the MR2 and the GTO by completing the appropriate reward card ( not with a trailer !!) : Can we customize those cars in the career mode ??
Secondly, I can't get into the first safehouse, the one where you begin the game and which is located in the middle of the city, is that normal ?

The Eclipse GSX, MR2 and GTO aren't customisable I'm afriad. The first safe house on the 360 also has a glitch, but rather than being unable to be entered, the background of it is erased and replaced by the last conquered safe house that's been used.

Anyone also got cash problem at end of the game? Im looking at 2 last races when exotic canyon challenge and boss one, and im stuck with 4 cars:

RX-7 - fully done performance wise
Charger R/T - fully done performance wise
Plymouth Cuda - Almost done
EVO - Pretty much all upgrades on street tier 3.

And i got with 4000 cash left, racing with Cuda against Lambo in canyon is surely out of question as it need to slow down to turtle speeds, while EVO lacks higher end upgrades, no races left and upgrades cost about 20k each. Anyone was ble to figure out how to any good cash flow by end of game? hence i cant imagine myself having 1 million like some reward card needs.

Sell some of your cars and upgrade your EVO or Cuda

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 17 Dec 2006, 19:38

How many cars are you allowed in your garage at any given time?

MrPalmont · Post by **MrPalmont** » 18 Dec 2006, 03:27

6 cars, not more

Toshiro · Post by **Toshiro** » 18 Dec 2006, 03:28

Oh, wow. That's even less than how many Most Wanted allowed.

Hello, Im back. (If any cares?) After playing with the game for awhile I've been noticing some really bad technical and designer issues.

For starters-locked content. How damnably ignorant do you have to be to not have noticed that.

Fifty some cars in the game, and the most I've gotten is thirty-two.

Then there's the exhaust problem... For some godforsaken reason beyond my knowledge, anything other than an Aftermarket Bodykit will not have functioning tailpipes-it's absurd! Plus you can hardly see the damn exhaust pipes when you Autosculpt them anyway...

Speaking of which; If any of you have a Corvette with the Chicane front bumper, then you may have noticed that when you modify the third zone of the part, and install it to your sled... it doesn't stay on.

Not to mention when you have two muscle cars (one with the chop top and one wtihout) in your profile, the windshield clips through the roof of the non-chop top car when you cycle through them.

This game would have been great, if not for these seriously f@#$ed up flaws in design.

U can change car's place in the game(career, bonus...) and overwrite it with another car using Hex Editing, but u can't make more spaces in your career garage

like i said you can get up to 10 or possibly more just ask prince

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 19 Dec 2006, 07:54

The theoretical limit is 200 cars. I've only realized about 40 cars, but you have to remember there are a ton of stock, custom, and other cars.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 19 Dec 2006, 08:00

how stable is your save with 40 cars ?

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 19 Dec 2006, 08:18

Pretty stable. Other than the "normal" Carbon crashes, everything's fine. If you think about it, the cars already existed in the savegame file. BTW, I never replace car locations, I always add. If a car was only in bonus cars, I make it available in BOTH bonus and wherever else I want. This may be a reason why it's stable-er.

BTW, I found that playing Carbon in windowed mode is a lot more stable than fullscreen mode. NFSPlanet.de has the required files.

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 19 Dec 2006, 12:18

Just beat career mode, took me more then 2 weeks since I was pretty much slow on career modes as always having to taste each race, lots of cop chases and other messing around. Well, last boss in Audi was rather easy to get, got the 2 lap race from 2nd time(first time ran into a wall 10 meter off finish line), and canyon also from 2nd try just overtook him, since he apparently doesnt have as twitchy handling as tuners get

hw do u get the m3 to be upgraded?

curtydc · Post by **curtydc** » 20 Dec 2006, 16:14

you don't, unless you use trainers. so I've asked this question before in another forum and only gotten one reply, looks like more people are in this, sooo, any other PS2 users experiance the problem of unlocking the Police Corvette (not Cross's) and not having it?

krazyammo · Post by **krazyammo** » 20 Dec 2006, 16:58

yeah had that problem i was looking for it after it was unlocked in the custom car section wasn't there

Toshiro · Post by **Toshiro** » 21 Dec 2006, 00:17

Anyone else find Autosculpt to be a let-down....?

The main reason I use it is to replicte rims that aren't in the game.

MrPalmont · Post by **MrPalmont** » 21 Dec 2006, 01:46

I can say that autosclupt was not the best input in Carbon but EA had to make some new stuff so there you go.
