It is worse on the cars with stiffer suspension (e.g. supercars) so is probably designed that way. And being a NFS game, the physics don't have to be anything like, you know, real life at all. …actually I’m not sure the bouncing is a bug at all.

I haven't had any other problems. Incidentally, this is no departure from the NFS staple at all (as some reviewers have claimed): the vehicle physics are absolutely fucking ridiculously bad (HOW much oversteer? why is my steering column disconnected if I put a wheel on the grass?) and the AI is either on or off. So just like any other NFS game then. But, remarkably, I've enjoyed playing it. I think it would take about 247 hours of gameplay to get Platinum though. :( The bouncing cars bug is infuriating and has cost me many race wins or podiums. I haven’t had any other problems.

This doesn't surprise me. Seriously, I was playing this this morning and I had to reset my 360 twice! It's a total joke really. The game sometimes decides to put you in a never ending replay loop after events... Sometimes just before a race starts, the screen just goes completely black, and you can hear engine sounds, but see nothing... One time I just turned the thing on and it decided that it couldn't find my save game.... It's farcical. I would have given this game a 9.5 if it worked properly, but with all of the bugs and the absolutely stupid implementation of 'drifting' it's becoming more and more a chore to play the further I get. HAHA!!

As for accessing the PS store, seems to me from looking at the default text in the image that this is what an uninitialised screen would show or one that crashed before the screen was properly populated.
