NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

How is it with the controller? I only use a controller and think I am pretty competitive with it.

I think we'd all be fine with a digital camera recording your tv screen lol

That's what I am about to test out as soon as I grab just a bit of lunch.

Glad to hear it works great with a wheel for all our guys here that are lucky to have one.

I'm also looking forward to hearing how it works with the controller...especially trying to hold 'er steady in a pack at a superspeedway, or doing the smooth and steady turns for 'regular' tracks like Vegas, Fontana, Kansas, etc.

Thank you, Bob!

I know it'll take some time to determine this, but does the AI attempt to be as strategic/smart with its pitstops as well?

Great hearing that the legend settings make it much more difficult and I am assuming a little less Arcady. Keep up the impressions we appreciate them.

Just tested the game out with a controller, and it actually is very driveable...which is a suprise to me. I lowered the assist settings to middle of the road, and I caould drive pretty darn smoothe around Kentucky. It may feel the same on higher difficulty, but wanted to start low.

Here is a photo of some damage in game, after a brush with a wall and another car swiped me. I tried to turn around on the track to show absolute devestation....but the throw the caution when you do that. So I am going to have to turn all flags off, and try it again for you guys.

Thank you very much for answering my questions. I was a bit concerned about the bumps on the tracks and had a feeling they weren't going to be there. I am definitely taking the good with the bad though and definitely sounds like there is a lot more good than bad.

One more question for you. I read in the recent hands-on preview by racesimecentral.com that there was some concern of the drafting/ slingshot thing being overdone specifically at non restrictot plate tracks. Do you notice that at all on the hardest difficulty?

Thanks again for taking the time to answer all of our questions and giving us your impressions. It is much appreciated.
