This could be the problem that kills it for leagues :(

I can't believe they did that. I was sure I read in an interview that fixed
setups would be supported.

Damn....

So there is no way to lock all users to a setup you mean?

:(

And remember they built this just for us simmers. Apparently in name only
considering the issues missing for online racing.

Maybe their CFO is a guy called "Simmers"? Hmm, sounds suspiciously
like "Simmons" ;-) John? Are you out there?

Cheers,

Ya I have to agree. Based on the features missing it is obvious something
is really messed up with this. It seems they spent more time marketing it
to simmers than actual making it a sim title.

How did a number of these issue get through the open house sessions they
held with the sim community?

That's just stupid. Don't tell me they didn't have a meeting doing a
multiplayer brainstorm and NOBODY said "Hey look, they all have previously a
feature called fixed setups, can we?". Typical EA suit : No way man it'll
take more than 5 minutes to code, take that time instead to model a way
where the driver would get EJECTED from the cars.

***ing priorities all over the place in NSR.
