    Banned from PGR3 on XBLive? - Help

    After getting home from football this afternoon, I tried to play Project Gotham Racing 3 on Xbox Live. When I choose the Live mode, I get a message saying I've been banned from racing online.

    I can't think of any reason for this as I have a 5 star reputation and havent been online for a week. When I am online, I don't bump people into walls or anything. Also, I dont have a headset so it couldnt have been anything I have said.

    The only thing I can think of is that last week, I was having problems with my router and I lost connection to Xbox Live mid-race a few times. Is there a policy of banning people who dont finish races?

    Does anyone know if there is any way I can get back onto Live with PGR3? Do I contact Bizzare or Microsoft?

    Thanks

    Heard of it happening before. Contact Microsoft they will sort you out.

    Oh - if everyone who bumped people into walls got banned from Gotham, there would be 7 people still allowed to play.

    Handy though, that 95% of people on Live have no concept of braking or indeed how to drive in general; its by avoiding these cretins and letting them smash each other into walls that I get my wins.

    They just don't seem to get it - drive like a nob, you finish way down the pack. Brake for corners, keep a clean line and guide you car around and the wins start to come.

    Having said that my biggest winning streak is still only 4 races on the spin. I won a race the other day when after taking the last corner in second place by half a second, a car driving the wrong way down the track at full speed hit the first placed driver head on, leaving me to drive past and over the line, with the would-be winners shouts of 'f*cking noob' to the idiot who had just cost him the race ringing in the headset.

    Out of order.

    Thanks for the help. I've emailed Microsoft .

    I agree about all the nobs in the game. They just ruin it for everyone else. PGR is at its best when you get a server of people together who race cleanly. I've only been on such a server a couple of times though .

    Hopefully I'll get unbanned as it's the only game I've got atm. Might be time to buy DOA4 if I dont get unbanned.

    I have a similar question, but I didn't want to start a new thread as it's not for me, and I don't know all the details. A friend of mine has a 360, and a golf game (i think). Basically, he's somehow lost all his money in the game, so can't play tournaments for money anymore. Is there a way for him to get any more money?

    Sorry for the lack of detail, but if you have that game, you'll probably know what i'm talking about .

    Not heard of any glitches in Tiger Woods 2006, there is a glitch is Dead or Alive 4 though, that sometimes erases all your save data if you boot up the game before you are signed into your profile.

    Had it happen to me, although I only lost an hour or so or gameplay.

    I'm careful now though, as I have Helena and Spartan unlocked, and am on the way to unlocking Tengu.

    Don't fancy losing 10 hours of play.

    I'm not sure if it's a glitch, or if he's just spent it all. Nevermind - I think he said he was going to email EA or who ever made the game.

    I've had about 15% bad feedback and I'm always polite and chatty - I think some people just send it for fun.

    It's a known bug....

    if you complete the "Tyreburn Championship" on Gold, you get something like 5milllion credits.....
    if you then complete it on platinum, you get the 5million taken away again!!
