Lycett: “We’re looking into all the comments”
Increasingly, players of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing are reporting discrepancies as to noted achievements in the game versus what has actually been achieved on scout’s honor.
The problems manifest themselves in various forms. Some players have reported more or less achievements reflected in XBOX360 dashboards proper versus what’s in-game. Others are reporting trouble formally unlocking achievements–even as what’s necessary to earn them has been completed.
Sumo Digital reps are taking all the comments seriously. Steve Lycett says on the Sega forums that ASR was thoroughly tested for such bugs before the game went gold:
We’re looking into all the comments related to Acheivements, bear in mind that the game was extensively tested by SEGA before release, and they tell me they did a full acheivement run on every version. It wouldn’t have made it to the pressing plant if they couldn’t 1000/1000 it.
Of course, there are always some fringe cases that can cause problems.
First thing you should do is make sure you’ve installed the Title Update on 360. If you play the game and you’re connected to Xbox Live, this will automatically install. You should get it for the frame-rate improvements if nothing else!
Next, always make sure you’ve saved and exited back to the Front End. Sometimes the internal tracker will update, but if you’ve not saved, it may not trigger the actual achievement. This is likely the case with the Ghost ones, we actually check when you get back to the front end if you’ve done all 24, say you quit the game or choose to accept a friend request, if you’ve not saved the Ghost Data, the game won’t know you’ve beaten all 24 default Ghosts…
I’ve had a few reports that people aren’t getting the All-Star move one, where you’ve used all the characters All-Stars to hit an opponent. The key here is ‘hit’ Sometimes you may barge them, sometimes they’re already leaving the track. If you don’t see a character spin or flip out, then it won’t count towards this Acheivement.
We will of course look to fix any that are broken, but our initial tests here show they all do work as expected. I’ll keep an eye on feedback and we’re also getting SEGA QA to recheck them all, and if we find any that don’t work right, we’ll roll it into the TU we’ll be doing for the DLC.
That’s the stance right now regarding achievement unlocks. If you’re having issues, you’re advised to sit tight, as any DLC releases will hopefully rectify the situation–then again, that poses another problem in potentially having to pay for the fixes moreso than the DLC. We’ll keep tabs.

I didn’t had any problem getting some of those acheivements
Congratulations!
You just earned some points! Do you fell better about yourself? You should feel better about yourself. You just accomplished something!
Seriously though, Achievements/Trophies are one of the worst ideas ever created.
I haven’t had any problems…and this is the Wii version I’m playing.
There is a problem with the Allstar trophy on PS3. Some friends of mine got it, some didn’t. The counter is stuck on 18/20. The only allstar move that won’t “hit” the opponent is Amigo’s Conga move. I’ve done all 20′s allstar moves and landed the attacks… 3 times. That’s well over 60 loading screens I’ve gone through, there, and I’m worn out already. Hope these guys can fix this, it’s wasting my time. >_>
The next trophy that many people can’t get is the friend invite trophy. I’ve invited, they’ve joined, we’ve raced, many times, no trophy. This must not have been tested all too well, no offense. I haven’t seen trophies more broken than this since Sonic Unleashed on PS3. (they both have Sega in common, hmm…) To this day in SU, I’m still missing some Emerald Trophies and the cleared game trophy. Brilliant, eh?
And the data corrupted itself on its own. Wow. And I thought LittleBigPlanet was troublesome with savedata.
Yeah.. What about the PS3 Dreamarena trophy me and my friends are having problems with?
We tried everything, and no dice. That’s the last trophy I need, too before Platinuming the game.
Dreamarena is the only one I can’t get.
[PS3 version]
Pretty broken… just beat the 24th staff ghost… reads 24 of 24 in game, didn’t give me a trophy on PSN… this game’s busted… I’m getting close to platinum, but the busted ass game doesn’t work right… so I’ll never get it.
