Bonus songs not saving on expert

Alright so I 5*ed six bonus songs the other night on expert, including Cheat On The Church, a song I was having trouble with... Anyways, I then turned off my PS2 after thinking it saved (I have it on Autosave band so it should have saved after I was done with the song). I turn my ps2 back on later, scroll down to look at the songs I 5*ed, and they were 4*ed, somehow it didn't autosave my achievments. Has this happened to anyone else using autosave? If so, should I start going to Data Settings and manual saving my progress? I just hope autosave is reliable.. this has only happened on bonus songs too..

The game saves when you see the "saving" screen after you dismiss the newspaper score sheet.

Autosave saves only non-bonus songs if you get a higher star rating than your previous score (simply improving a score doesn't autosave, has to be a better star rating). Bonus songs don't get autosaved ever.

Autosave does save all previous changes to any song though. So if for example you got better scores on a bunch of bonus songs, then got a star higher on one non-bonus song afterwards, all progress would then be saved.

You can make sure all your scores are saved by manually going to the save game option before turning off your PS2.

I don't mean to insult you by asking this, but did you make sure you weren't playing in Quick Play when you got the 5* or something?

Huh? That can't be right...only your initial score is autosaved in the bonus songs? I never noticed that. I am pretty sure I 5 starred some bonus songs I didn't the first time on medium, shut the system off and then went at CFH on medium.

Maybe I 5 starred the few remaining bonus songs and then CFH without shutting off? I don't remember that...

A quick way to save IMO is instead of going to main screen, when you complete a song and are done for that session, change your guitar and go back to resume career, It will show you the save screen and when its complete turn the ps2 off.

There are too many menus doing it the other way.

i did that a couple times. it happens. now i make sure it's saved every single time. so if i don't see the saving screen, i change something, buy something, or do manual.
