dzipi,
Thanks for the clarification on the beta testing which would make sense. Can we jump to the conclusion then that for those of us that have taken time to register to be on this forum could/should be considered the beta testers for this game now? I would hope so, since it appears their pool of testers was limited by the Kinect device itself. Hopefully Ubi is looking at this forum that way. We cared enough to buy the game, register and start posting praise and problems.
Can I give a game more slack based on the fact it has to utilize a 3rd party hardware device. Sure no problem. It would just be nice to hear directly from them.
I believe a good portion of questions/concerns could have been avoided by a more involved user manual. It could have easily added a more in depth description of the personal training sessions. In particular, as we've all discussed, that you can't switch programs unless you finish it. They should have known that our excitement is going to make the users want to try everything in the game for a bit. Perhaps an option to lower the daily sessions from 12 to X would be a nice feature. A few more words about the only way to exit the game is by going back to the Xbox dashboard. I've played many games and that's true for all except the arcade games where the you can back out of the game to dashboard with B.
I really think more information a better manual would have helped out.

Hi, thanks for volunteering to consolidate questions.
My biggest frustration is with the lady saying "step a bit wider" in most of those exercises, when I am stepping almost twice as wide as the guy that is the "instructor". It does not seem to track the step width properly. It is very frustrating to get a low score when you KNOW that you are doing it properly, and others who are watching you in the room say you are doing it as good as the guy on the screen.

I am putting together a list of questions and issues to send to the developers and brand managers.
There ARE people from Ubisoft reading these forums but it's hard for every need to be met.
I volunteered to help get your questions to the right people. I would really like to help all of you be heard.
If you have a question you can reply to this thread and I will add it to the bunch. Or you can reply to this thread </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I would like to see an easy workout for those of us with bad backs, who are really out of shape and cannot start hardcore right away.

We have received a <span class="ev_code_RED">first response from the Developers of YS: FE</span> in regards to some of your questions.
I have gone through and updated a few of the threads with the answers I got back from the Developers.
If your questions were not answered hang tight. We have more answers to come.

...You say that you haven't experienced any of the issues, seems strange....if I change program(I run two different programs in a row) then switching back loses all progress. It seems that many people on these forums have the same problem.
If this is a problem you don't have it is very likely that you do something different than the rest of us and it would be nice if you could share that as this is a really frustrating problem... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I have not noticed any problems with my game. I alternate days with the cardio and arms. Every day I warm up with some gym games and for my workout I either run through the "Cardio Kickboxing" (silver or gold entire class) or work on my next "sleeve busting arms" session.
The game is working for me the way I need it to. I am not jumping around in different workouts. Just back and forth between the two I mentioned. I have never had the game loose progress. I feel like I am getting a really great overall body workout.
When I have completed all my sleeve busting sessions I am looking forward to starting the "Skinny Jeans" workout.
I workout almost every day. I am on my 5th week and I have lost 10 lbs!!! I am very happy with how this game works for me.
I recommend you stick with a program until you complete all the sessions and alternate your program with gym games and fitness classes (like Zen or Kickboxing).

Spectra,
I disagree with you on the bugs and glitches on new games. I have over 50 Xbox 360 games that were new at some point, and can count on one hand, much less 3 fingers that have had issues...this is one of those games. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Some of my favorite games have had really bad problems at launch. Here are a few huge title examples: Battlefield Bad Company 2, Medal of Honor, Modern Warfare 2, and Fable 3. All of these titles had issues at launch with either the game itself or with their servers hosting multiplayer matches.
There were a number of issues present with BF:BC2 & MOH, that despite beta testing, they were unable to fix by launch. Medal of Honor's lack of success, I feel was a direct result of the games technical issues.
MW2 didn't beta test and the first few weeks of the games release were evident of that. That game's bugs and glitches are now being exploited by modders to cheat. For me, the game is almost unplayable because of it.
BF:BC2 servers kept crashing and kicking players out of the games. BF:BC 2 corrected a lot of the issues but it took months. Their issues were the most frustrating I have ever experienced with online play. Because the game didn't appear to be broken but something was very wrong. (p.s. this is one of my favorite first person shooters ever!!)
And then we have Fable 3. That game is plagued with bugs and issues despite the fact that it is a brand new release. And we are talking serious game crashes. I just lost 37 hours of game play yesterday. THIRTY SEVEN HOURS!!! I have to start over. Those kind of problems you notice. Every ONE of my friends has experienced the same problems with Fable 3 and I'm lucky with only loosing 37 hrs.
What is being described in our Your Shape forums is pale in comparison to what these titles faced during their launch. And those titles were not launching their games using any new peripherals.
Your Shape Fitness Evolved is one of the first games developed for Kinect. I have played a number of other Kinect games and it is by far the most accurate at tracking my movements in game.
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">...I haven't figured out yet if you are an official Ubi rep, or someone who just cares enough about the game to give your time to the board as a moderator or go between.. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I am a part time employee of Ubisoft. I am a member of the Frag Doll team. We promote and play Ubisoft games at events. We also have our own forums that I am a moderator for (therefore have mod rights here as well). I do not work directly with the brand YourShape. But, my husband and I are currently using the game to loose weight and get in shape. I am sharing our journey here on the forums. I could see that they needed help organizing the questions and getting answers, so I volunteered.

Two things to add to what I see on this board. Why do game developers have to nickle and dime people. Microsoft is especially guilty of this and started this trend where you buy a game then have to buy points to play it. Considering most games are aimed at kids, it's like they're taking candy from babies. Have you no shame. There's already enough advertising in games and software...why not make that your added revenue stream.
On another note. How do you get out of this game? There doesn't seem to be a "quit" function. Was the lost somewhere?

Answer of second question:
If you started to play you dont have to chance to finish, you allowed only 6 hour sleep then you have to continoe day and night night and day. But dont worry you can buy soon new downloadable content keep you awake

Ok, I am also getting a great workout etc, etc, I am also training a lot etc, etc. I can also work around it, I run cardio boxing gold and platinum for cardio first and then do the selected program.
That is not the question nor the problem though, I did at one point and I will want to do it again, run one program, finish that session switch to another program after that and run that session, next day the progress in the first program are lost.
So simple, a yes or no will do.
Is the game designed to not save progress if you switch between two programs the same day(or two or three for that matter) even if you finish the session in respective programs?
Instead of telling me how to use the game and promote the value of the game on which I agree, it would be nice to have an answer to the question above.
