Due to an issue with the game's latest update, we are extending the current server.

It's not clear when the maintenance will end, and the career mode is not usable. Polyphony Digital didn't give a detailed description of what the underlying issue might be, and Sony didn't reply to the request for comment.

According to Polyphony's patch notes, Update 1.07 adds a number of fixes and changes, including a new broadcast mode that removes licensed music tracks. Polyphony says it adjusted the rewards for some events, and that it made it harder to save up in-game currency for more expensive cars.

Many fans are unhappy with the credits changes in the patch. Sony sells in-game credits for real-world dollars that could help you get the cars you want, but those microtransactions are on top of the $60 or $70 you already pay to buy the game. Polyphony may make changes to the credit payouts in response to fan outcry.
