    I'm finally able to play

    1. created a new user on my PS3
    2. played game off line until I have reached and passed previous level on my regular user
    3. switched to public game on new user...once I was able to play online with the new user
    4. switched back to my regular user

    Maybe is luck...or the servers are working properly now

    but EA I'm going to think twice on purchase another game going to read reviews and forums to save myself tha hassle and dissapointment getting here

    I've had this issue since day one of release. I can also crash into an invisible car. I'm extremely upset and disappointed in ea/ need for speed. I feel cheated out and feel like I deserve my money back. The game won't even work.

    Hi, this is just a far fetched attempt on solution but can you try and go into the menu and delete the update patch applied (both, if they are there), and restart and re-install the current patch?

        Move the "Game" tab on the XMB, the PS3's main menu.

      • 2

        Move up to "Game Data Utility." Press "X" to enter it.

      • 3

        Press "Triangle" on any game file you want to delete. Press "X" on "Delete" on the menu that appears.

    That would work, but not for me . I preordered the game and played it on day one for a little bit before a break. On my second play, it froze like explained with this 1.02 patch. I've had trouble on static and dynamic ip from playing at home and at college. I love nfs and have played it since the original hot pursuit series. Also, I find this issue disappointing to say the least . I feel cheated out of my full retail investment in a good game that just is broken and unplayable.

    Thank You for triying to solve the problem..tried that by removing game and deleting all related content and patches....

    I "solved" the problem.

     - Delete the game data. 

     - Disconnect from internet.

     - Re-Intall game

    Its work fine withouth 1.02 but only offline... ☹️

    I hope next patch solve this problem.
