Yeah, I was really getting frustrated with this at first too. I guess I see why they did it this way though, you can place it exactly where you want and the size you want.

Yes, you can actually turn off quite a bit on the HUD and screen. They are also patching it where you can turn off everything on the HUD. Even with what they have now to turn off is good enough for me.

I know their is gas and tire wear in season mode where you can set it up for the amount of laps you do so you have to pit but wish this was in single player mode as well. In single player mode which is basically exhibition all it has is on or off so if you play short laps you don't pit.

I have a question. How do you download the first patch? I can't find it anywhere and I looked everywhere. I'm 99% sure it's out, and I'm just to stupid to find it. So, how do you download it?

Should've downloaded automatically when you started the game.

The only time I froze up on PS3 was during a test session, I paused the game clicked game settings and it froze. This actually happened twice. No issues since then.

Yes I had my game installed on the 360 HD and it froze at Cali during the AI caution pitstop mess, so not installing to the HD has nothing to do with it.

Traded in my 360 version for the PS3 version and my 1st online race..... BAM frozen on the last lap. So I decided to give it another go and what do you know, game freezes on the last lap once again.

This game has a good driving model and is fun when it works right, but in it's current state this game is not worth $60 plus tax.

That sucks Kenny.....

Man, there has to be something going on here with these freezes. I have both versions, and neither one has froze yet. I played on the 360 last night for about 3 hours.....and not one issue. I have logged in probably 25-30 hours on the PS3, and once again, not a single freeze.

I am talking, offline, online, race now, career mode, create-a-car....not one freeze. My ps3 is the 80 gig fatty, and my 360 is the new slim 250gig.

Yeah it does.... I will give it another go off & online tomorrow, but if I still get freezes due to the AI pitstops (I do not like to run sprint races) or online freezes then I will just take my lumps and trade it in.

Atleast you and others are not having issues so there is some hope once the patch is released.
