It won't let me start a career, anybody else having this issue?

[THRILLHO]

I've just purchased this game, select career mode, choose "New", input all my information, yet the "next" button at the bottom stays locked no matter what I do, I've retyped everything, restarted the game, the "Next" button in the beginning create a driver part of the menu simply doesn't unlock. Can anybody help with this please?

Did you remove the "@WMD_" on the name? If so, add it back and it will work.

Did you select your country?

[THRILLHO]

Whenever I attempt to remove @WMD_, it does not detect my keyboard input.. and yes I have selected my country as well, I will attempt again now

Edit: So what I meant to say was I tried to erase @WMD_, but I have added sometheing additional instead and it seems to work now, thanks for the input!

Makes me laugh how unpolished this game is tbh, after all the years of development it still has basic problems like this.

Keep in mind that while SMS is only slightly larger than most indie dev studios, this is an indie development project for all standard purposes. Only a distributor was added at the end of the project to help with physic box distributions and marketing.

They accomplished a lot with the resources they have over the time period, but this just shows game development is not easy. People cannot really wait for "perfect software" as it will never exist (and I've spent over 20 years in software development myself).

This is clearly OP's fault, since he forgot to put in a nickname. Go whine somewhere else.

You need to click on "Calender" to get access to the Race.
I had the same Problem and did not realize to click on it, because I was looking for something like a "Start" Button, but there was none :-)

Well I'll tell ya... when they are asking the exact same price as a AAA title like GTA V, people may expect AAA quality. Given the game is (let's be kind here) rough around the edges, and its budget was a tiny fraction of GTA V's, why is it the same price? Something's wrong somewhere.

GTA expects to sell more copies. If GTA expected to sell less copies, it would be priced higher to cover development costs. It like the old saying, you can sell 1 million cups of lemonade for $1, or you can sell 1 cup of lemonade for $1 million dollars.

I can't start a career either, I see no calendar anywhere.

I didn't even know that was possible. I actually tried to remove that, and the game wouldn't let me, lol.
