I don't know why there are not any answers to this online, but the cars are all stuck in 1st gear! It's painful!! You can't go faster than ANY other car, so it's not just that I'm picking up slow cars.
Can someone please tell us what is going on!? Even if it's to tell us we're stupid. We need to know what it causing this. Motorbikes don't have the same issue.
I never comment on any thread but felt I had to. I've seen nobody give this answer anywhere online. The cars were never stuck in 1st gear, u can change gears on WD2 by tapping R2. Tap it like u were shifting gears, speeds up immediately. Every car I've tried picks up speed easy. I bought this game last November and figured that out in the first 15 minutes. Hope it helps somebody, I don't think I'm the only person on the planet that figured that out lol. I just can't be!
Someone read this too
My trigger was messed up. And I think it was for all of you too. You don't need to get a new controller though! You can just map your input to have L2 accelerate your vehicle. You can do this by going to control schemes and going to Left Handed 2 scheme. Then you will go extremely fast very quickly.
