...so I've been playing for hours offline in career mode and tried to play online just now but I can't load my cars from career mode as I have to sign in using my xbox live profile....

 

Does this mean I can't race my career cars online??? This can't be right surely??

are you an xbox gold live member?

I am indeed..and as stupid as tthis sounds...I've not noticed before that I've been playing career mode in my offline profile and online with my live gamertag ;-(

 

For example..I played COD offline long before I went online but when I did..I still seemed to have all my weapons..I'm sure of it!

 

But reading into it it seems to be a common problem for people who played offline a while before going Live and creating a NEW gamertag.....sucks ass.

 

Having googled it looks like I might just have to start again...

gutted :(

yup.....:-(

Let me know your new username :)

I meant start Forza again!

 

I only ever play COD online nowadays so happy with that. Forza is the only one I've played offline so will just start it again using my online profile...same as usual..."sumshiftyguy"

Is it as good as all the hype guys??? :)

Not really

It's not bad....but then this is the first Forza I've ever played. I was always into the old/original NFSU's....so it's very different to that. In terms of gaming I guess it's much more realistic but I can see single player getting boring.

 

I didn't even play online tonight as spent most of my time building up my profile again followed by some split screen with my flatmates which was awesome fun...I get the feeling, as with most xbox games, that it comes into its own when played multiplayer...

Not really

 

Ahh gutted. It looks awesome too. I guess I will play someone elses before I buy it myself then!

Petes21st obviously doesn't know a good racing game if it slapped him in the face !

Its the dogs danglies, best console racer to date - period ;)

Just make sure you drive without the assist nonsense and your away.
