PS3 Vehicle control bug

[Apollo6911]

Some times when I log on any vehicle I drive is completely uncontrollable. I play on a PS3 and I can have my hand completely off the left joystick and just press R2 to accelerate and the vehicle will immediately slide sideways. This happens without even using boost and on a solid paved road. Other times it works just fine. It is impossible to complete a time trial when it's bugged out. I have to wait and try again later when it's not bugged out. This happens way too often. I wish they would fix the issue. I really love the game, but I wish they would fix this one bug.

It could be a calibration problem. Sometimes, when an analog stick is held/pressed at an angle when turning the system on, that positions becomes its zero/neutral point. So, if you were inadvertently holding the stick back/down when the system turned on, then the regular "neutral point" would actually be considered forward/up.

Personally, I haven't had any vehicle problems, but with this game as it is right now, who knows. Along with the possible spilt water reply above, there could be many issues.

Good luck.

Thanks. I tried a different controller and so far so good. I did not think it was the controller initially because I have had no obvious issues with other games.
