PS3 Bug - Need For Speed Rivals - intermittent No control of Vehicle/power/steering?

EDITED:  

PS3 Bug -  Need For Speed Rivals - intermittent No control of Vehicle/power/steering?

Driving any of the following cars in the areas listed cause the car to drive in a  "Locked in Mode" << My words, only Way to discribe this occurance..

Bug Occurance:

Cars power sticks at the speed it where at, whilst driven/or stationary, it has no control of power or steering.

they stay at the position they where when last button press.

Also buttons "Square, Triangle Circle - Cross" Do not work whilst this is happening, including "R1 R2, L1 & L2" -  Start and Select are also Vacant.

 

Except:

  • Right Directional D-pad Button to access the Quick Menu (But does not active the last action set)
  • PS Home Button (Occasionally) "only if game crash/freeze does not Happen. -
  • if traveling at speed whilst going over a jump or car crash into traffic whilst the control locks in, this button does not work" - only Experianced on Super Slim ps3 500g. 


Occurance happens with : 

Player mode: (Cop) -between  Lv 2-11 so far.... glich/bug is causing problems to advance in the game... (other Player mode untested)

Car -  Dodge Charger [ENF]  /  Viper  /  Ferrari Enzo  /  Shelby GT .

Area - Bug happened on these areas using any of the cars listed above: 

Riverside Drive - Troll Pass - Base Point & Highways {mainly at Intersections}.

Please Repost your Areas and Cars if  you have had this bug  so EA can Fix this Error.

==========================================

BUG TESTING AND OUTCOME:

 

Tested using Disc Version BLES 01894 - + Latest Ps3 update to run game online.

I have tested and have the same Bug on 3

ps3 systems using 2 different controllers

on all different systems {Official DS3 Sixaxis W/Rumble }

that is six 👿 controllers tested across all systems... (it is not a controller issue)

- Ps3 Fat 80gb

- Ps3 Slim 120gb

- Ps3 Super Slim 500gb

All tested with Hardwired internet &  Wifi connection, strangely No origin Disconection errors?  fe migration disconects but mainly people leaving the game but no crashed....other little bugs/gliches encountered whilst playing, but they have already been listed on forum.

all systems are showing the same error/bug using the same settings on diffrent accounts.

Thanks EA hope you can figure out this probblem..

    Yes exactly the same issue and basically the game is now unplayable as seems to be getting worse. Started after approx 5hrs of casual play and now happens every time I try to play. After it started happening consistently I replaced the controller with new Sony dual shock and that didn't fix it. Tried other games and only happening with rivals. Happens in all areas and so far with all cars, BMW, Aston Martin and for me happening in all areas of the game. Really disappointing and hope this gets resolved ASAP.

    I had the same problem but it happens regardless of car.   I am on the PS4 though.  It happens only when I am online through the wifi(I get 5mbps) and connected to other players.   It happens escpeically when other real life players get next to me.   It doesn't happen when I connect through the LAN cable(I get 25mbps).

    Looking at the pages here and appears to be a few similar threads to this so i think this is a wider issue than just us. btw running on PS3 160gb Slim i think. Happens with or without other real players in close proximity and often within 2 minutes of leaving garage. running cable not wifi and dont have great connection speed but certainly not dropping out of connection to server.

    I've had the same issue, but on the PC version.. Can't say for sure if it's at those specific places (don't know all the names), but most definitely at certain intersections and also at the starighter end of the massive bridge area with the massive jumps on each side.

    I'll try take note of the area names next time, but also I must say it happened a lot more earlier in the game. It's a bit more uncommon with the later cars for some reason.

    I as well am experiencing the issue. It seems to happen when I go in pursuit as a cop. I only got pass the training session. When it began having the issues. I just bought the game and will be returning the game. Sad I can not enjoy a game that looks awesome.

    Problem is 80% related to your internet upload/download speed. turn off everything else using the internet to free up bandwidth and enjoy. The other 20% is related to the servers which sometimes lag, but most of the time it's your connection. Turn off your torrents and anything else using the internet.

    I live in a very remote area and can't get a faster connection then 3 Mbit downstream. This seems too less for the game ☹️ Even when AllDrive is set to "Single Player".
