Need for Speed Shift PS3 Q&A

A1:

Just tap the rear of the opponents car and the car will either spun out or flip in the air -Answer by:Spike3245

A2:

All you gotts do is smash the side of the car in the rear

A3:

First ask yourself this, is spinning out someone make me drive faster...Nope! Does it make my car faster........Nope! So, if there is no benefit to spinning someone out why do it? Racing is a gentleman's sport, it requires skill. Hitting/Spinning/Trading Paint is amateur crap. EA forgot this when they made his game, clearly. Worry about lap times, best laps, clean laps.

A4:

To spin out an opponent you need to tap the back end turning them either off the track or a full 180. You also need to stay on the track.

A5:

Best way to spin out an opponent... go alongside the car as you enter into the turn, then tap the parking brake as you accelerate hard. This will not only spin the car out it will also get you stars.

A6:

Answer 3 is rude! First ask your self ..... blah blah blah ...gentlemens sport...blah..blah ..blah, dude!!
I come on here for an answer not your opinion. So first ask your self does the game require you to do it to earn stars....yep. So shut up about your amature crap, I've got more years playing video games than you have on this planet. BTW I still cant successfully perform a spin out but for once in a while...keep getting tap outs....suggestions?

A7:

This is no place to get personal, when you ask a question you aren't allowed to limit or restrict those that feel it in their best nature to respond. More to the point, the writer of response #3 is totally correct! Racing really IS a gentlemen's sport and the type of behavior that the games code writers demand is not really very realistic. In true racing such behavior would get you black-flagged and no sponsor would touch you. Furthermore, that figure-eight race at Hazyview (though fun) would NEVER occur in real life. I'm afraid that the code writers were forced to add in those unrealistic portions for fear of having the game become a flop, after all... gamers that desire the true simulation package (like #3 and I) are so rare. Reminds me of an old Hee Haw episode: Hey, I crossed Gran Touring with Mario Carts! What'd you get? NFS Shift! BTW, I'm 52 and there's no way you could have outplayed me sonny! First game I ever played was called PONG (look it up)

A8:

To get all the stars from all the races you are required to spin other drivers out there are two ways to do this 1 (and easiest) line yourself up in front of another driver to the left or the right by about 30% then hammer your brakes on full whack when you should be accelerating, or 2 strike the other driver from the rear at an angle of about 15 degrees coming in form either left or right and as soon as you make contact come right of the gas and steer in the opposite direction

Happen on two occasions. When select Corvette, car won't move at all. Is it the disc or what do I have to do to make car move?

Question from: Guest

A1:

I have had this happen also, I think it was the ps3 not understanding some info. so I quit game and went back in and it was fine, funnily it happened to me twice too....maybe a small floor in the game... -Answer by:Barbelcatcher

A2:

It is a glitch in the game it happened to me on the duel race between the viper and the gt . the car just did not move and cost me 3 loses. 2 things to do just keep playing other events and come back it will soon work , or reset game. you can also delete your progress and start over. the update that just came out might have fixed it as well

A3:

I had exactly the same problem in that race neither car will move just keeps revving

A4:

I think it's a glitch because it happened to me a couple of times when I tried to use the Corvette in the International Series section of your career (Ford GT vs. Chevrolet Corvet Z06)

A5:

Read on another site that some were having the same problem with the vette, sounds like glitch in the game instead of a disc error

A6:

Go to the ea website and then nfs shift general discussion forum and you will find the fix there !

A7:

Buy the corvette race it in a quick race then go back to carrer mode and try again it worked for me on the ps3

A8:

Like the man said. Buying the corvette takes care of the problem. I did buy it and just painted it without even racing it, and it worked like a charm

A9:

Press R1 to change into 1st gear then balance your throttle so the gear turns green the darker the better you will get a faster start & a bonus for getting a quick launch

What is the best cars in Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4?

Question from: Guest

A1:

Tier 1: 3 cars over the 10.00 rated fully upgraded the Audi TT Coupe 3.2 quattro, Mazda RX-8 and Nissan 350Z (Z33)

Tier 2: 15 cars over the 10.00 rated fully upgraded the Audi RS4, BMW M3 E36, BMW M3 E46, BMW M3 E92, BMW Z4 M Coupé, Chevrolet Camaro SS Concept, Ford Shelby GT500 (2007), Lotus Elise 111R, Mazda RX-7, Mitsubishi Lancer EVOLUTION X, Nissan 370Z (Z34), Nissan Silvia spec.R AERO (S15), Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34), Porsche Cayman S and Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Tier 3: 13 cars over the 10.00 rated fully upgraded the Aston Martin DB9 Coupé, Audi R8 4.2 FSI quattro, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper SRT-10, Ford GT, Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, Lamborghini Murciélago LP640, Lotus Exige S, Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, Nissan GT-R (R35), Nissan GT-R SpecV (R35), Porsche 911 GT2 and Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Tier 4: cars over the 15.00 rated stocks the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, Koenigsegg CCX, McLaren F1, Pagani Zonda F, Pagani Zonda R and Porsche Carrera GT

That is my thought so I hope it's helpful. -Answer by:Umy1985

A2:

Tier4 but I believe there is tier 5 =)

A3:

There is no Tier 5 )

Here is the line-up that I used to get to and win the NFS World Championships with:

Tier 1: Mazda RX-8 or the Nissan 350Z (Z33)
Tier 2: Mazda RX-7 or the Nissan 370Z (Z34)
Tier 3: Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 or the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, or the Dodge Viper SRT-10
Tier 4: Pagani Zonda R, or the Koenigsegg CCX, or the Buggatti Veyron

It goes without saying that each of the Tier 1 through 3 cars were upgraded to the highest level that I could afford. And when you get to Tier 4 your only hopes lie in one of the three cars that I listed above.

The best method is to use the race winnings from each race to upgrade as you go along: Race/Win/Upgrade! Repeat this with each new car. Rather then worry about filling those garage slots... better to concentrate on creating one major machine. And always choose "Handling" over "speed"

Hammer down driver!

What is the best way to learn drifting?

Question from: CFlaggard(23)

A1:

Well, first you need to choose a drift car. It doesn't need good performance, just pick out a tier 1 or 2 car that you like. I choose an E46 m3, and it's pretty good, but I use my e92 just for racing. After that, once you start in the drift race, go gently on the throttle (still include some power) and just use the handbrake. Remember in the game that I think you have to steer in the opposite direction of where you want to go. Remember that, use your skills (yes, you do have it in you... just like gatorade) and you should do good. Idk, but check if you could do a quick race on a drift, or maybe online?... Message me on PS3... i'm: venom7598. Have Fun :-D

A2:

Its more about if you want to take the time to prctc. start a drift match with 20 laps. your going to do 3 rounds of 20 laps each. if you cant get the hang of it. at least by the time you finished all 60 laps you should gain a lot of levels witch means lots of money'n'stuff. the tokyo track works best. you should make at least 750-1000 a lap. if you do this at level 8 you get enough xp to make you lvl 19

A3:

Yeah all about practice, not that i'm an expert by anymeans, but I have significantly improved by drifting more and more, the more you do it the more you'll get the feeling for it, it suddenly gets easier and things fall into place...no point steering loads.... just keep your speed up and steer as little as possible once your drifting...feather the accelerator round a corner to stay on track...hope this helps -Answer by:Barbelcatcher

A4:

BOYSIE-UK - PS3 NAME

Best way mate is to get a Tier 1 or Tier 2 drift car that hardly has any power e.g.

Tier 1
BMW 135i, Toyota Corolla GTS (AE86), Nissan 240SX (S13), Nissan 200SX (S14)

Tier 2
BMW M3 E36

Only customize the Interior & Exterior of these cars leave the engine and handling as is.

A5:

The best way to drift is to play pro street first.... its not as complicated as shift but ull get the hang of it faster.... then upgrade to drifting on shift its more fun an more realistic.... paractice pracitice practice...............

A6:

What to do is to get the toyota corolla AE86, then mod it all the way, the more mods the easyer drifting will be, dont floor it at the start, feather the gas, most of the time you dont need to use the E-break , and keep you speed up. oh and make sure you buy the car from the drift tier of cars.

A7:

Guys seriously, the best way is to use a stock Mazda Rx-7 and stick the level 3 body package on. that way you only need to turn in and lift off the accelerator before nailing it again almost straight away. practise on a long track like Tokyo and try to rack up about 1000 - 1500 points and just keep trying
