Two days ago I read a couple of posts about this problem and I thought it wouldn't happen to me. Well...it happened to me yesterday. Here's how my problem started. I had autosave on and I was done racing online. I hit continue and my game froze. I turned my XBOX off and restarted the game. From that point on I haven't been able to get back into the game. So it must have happened when it froze after that online game while it was saving my profile before the menu screen. Today is going to be a sad day for me as I delete my profile and start over.

I've read a number of post from several forums and I'm going to try the Memory Card method. It looks to be the safest way.

Don't worry, Blue. I'm there with you, brother!

Also, last night I realized that there is a way to mandate no Rep points in a race. In the menu before the race, you can highlight each driver in the room and see how many rep points they have. If we ever decide to run a no rep races that's how we can pre-race inspect!

I think I am going to run the challenges all over again, but this time allocate the rep points after testing to each car style to make for a realistic season/career mode.

I want to make sure that this doesn't happen to me. I'm almost at 201 wins, and I don't want to lose all of my progress. Was there anything that you were doing when this occurred? Are there any steps to keep this form happening? So, Autosave was on? Has anyone seen it with autosave turned off?

Thanks for the heads-up about this, but, now I'm kinda spooked about playing the game, and losing all of my saved data.

Folks are suggesting to go out and buy a memory card and save your progress now, while your save is ok. Continue playing the game off your hard drive save. If the profile goes bad, load the memory card save. This seems to work as an interim solution. Good luck!
