NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

[UGA14]

Does anyone know how to change your chosen driver from the beginning? That's the only car I can use online

This is the most broken title I have ever purchased in 15 years. No exaggeration. Stings paying $60 to be their beta tester and actually it feels more alpha at times. I really don't know how they could stoop so low and release this. They promise patches and fixes and say they understand. How about not releasing it in the first place until it's fixed? Terrible business practice.

Only spent about 10 min. looking it over. Raced a few laps at Daytona.
#1 The cautions need to be fixed, pretty bad.
#2 No rear mirror? Big part of racing, that silly proxy gaphic is dumb, give me a spotter and a mirror.
#3 Did anyone find it near impossible to make several adjustments going down pit road, tire pressures, wedge, tape? Not impressed.
#4 Would like to see them use the tire display that was used on Dirt 2 Daytona.
#5 Actually thought the feel was good enough, liked all the options on the controls.
#6 Will there be any random stuff like, debris on the grill? Clutch problems, brake issues.
#7 thought car #'s would be updated better and the look of the front end is off as well, but those are minor, minor, minor issues for me.

All in all it had a good feel but the game won't work for me if I don't get a chance to adjust my car during pit stops. (maybe I'm missing something) and see my tire temps.

Add mirror
Add the Dirt 2 Daytona graphic HUD for Tires & Car damage, fuel
Add the Dirt 2 Daytona pit road adjustment display for tire press., wedge, tape, ect.

I am so happy that EA wasn't the model they looked to. I was expecting alot. Sorry to say I'm probably gonna go back a continue playin' my ol' Dirt 2 Daytona game, yeah it doesn't have Pocono or Indy but the racing experience in the closest things I've found on the playstion platforms to PC NASCAR 1999. $60 was alot to spend for a game I can't convince myself to play, maybe I will read more on this board and give it another go....

Same as last night...I only raced online once, and that was with just 2 other people. Spent today playing TW12, but will be back at it tomorrow and try online again.

Wow! Where is QC in the video game industry? I can live with a few bugs.........but this game is horrid. What a wasted 45 minutes, and I was looking forward to this game. No patch will help this mess. If it does, I may try it again, the yellows.... NONE...... crashes unrealistic, froze once after qualifying. UGH
but the graphics are very well done and some of the racing isn't too bad.

I just don't get it?? Why can't a company take 99% of the PC NASCAR2003 game and poof!!! The best racing game ever......how can this be so hard to see. EA spent about 8-10 years running the game into the ditch, it's as if these companies keep tryin' to create something different when the winning game model already exist! Just update drivers, add a track or two, and it would be nice to have a choice in what point system to run, pre Brian France Jr or this new age gimmick chase stuff. I wonder how their meetings go before settling on their direction. This should be one of the easiest sports to create a game for, especially since it has been done already (pc's Nascar 2003), now with the ps3, they should be able to do whatever palpayrus has done......sure is a head scatcher. I'am glad some people have found some entertainment value out of it, $60 isn't a drop in the bucket for most gamers.....I just don't know if patches can fix this game, hope I'm wrong, cause I love Nascar racing games....
