Thanks.
I had to.I was 17 races into my 2010 season and noticed the patch wasn't available to me. Then I read on the forums over Eutes, that you have to hit restart 2010 season, then it appears and gives you the option to race the 2010 or 2011 season.

A couple things I've noticed.

1. Cautions still come out even when cautions are turned off.
2. The tire wear indicator is still near impossible to read. I'm vixually impaired and practically have to put my nose on the TV screen to see it, and even then it is still extremely difficult to see the narrow lines indicating the wear level.

Thanks for that blue. Strangely, I d/l the pack when I got in from work and just continued my 2010 season, but I'm sure the patch was applied.
These quick impressions are only based on 2 shortish races so I can't comment on how the pit stops are improved or not. Based on what I've seen so far, I'm actually pretty impressed. A few things I've noticed in this limited time.

- Cautions are much quicker to come out. In the night race at Atlanta there were 4 cautions, with none caused by me. But at Richmond, the only ones were the ones involving me.
- The level of the AI has been upped. Definitely not as easy to scythe through the pack. In the two races I had, I never noticed any cars slowing excessively in the turns. However, in both races I started from the middle of the pack and for the first couple of laps tore past a lot of cars on the straights, but then things quickly settled down and there was some great racing. You can't get away with clipping the wall and maintaining position and I couldn't charge away at the front. Seemed to be a lot less of a procession as well, with the cars separating nicely into pairs, groups and solo cars.
- I found it very hard to judge when the car was about to break away before as the tyre noise was so quiet. It's much better now, but haven't seen that mentioned anywhere.
- The spotter is also much better, with none of that "I just dropped my french fries" crap.
- I got span onto the pit lane and then the grass at Atlanta on the and no black flag!

I'm sure it was in before the patch, just hadn't got that far into career mode, but at the night race at Richmond it was nice to see overlays about who was in the chase, on the bubble, etc. EA please take note!

I really want to try the DLC, but may as well finish the season first as I'm in the chase. I need to try a longer race to see how the pit stops work, but I enjoyed the game pre-patch anyway just doing sprints.
I'm staying away from the Eutechnyx forums and I'm not saying it was worth waiting for, but I can certainly play the game and have fun. Be interesting to see how the 2012 game goes, but I will approach with caution.

When you see the silence from EA about NCAA 12, you have to give Eutechnyx credit for keeping us informed.

Weird. I didn't and I'm definitely seeing the changes. They were obvious and I'm definitely not imagining it.

Lol ok, but when I and everyone else who did, you had to restart your career and select 2011, it's probably changed since then but I'm just saying what had to be done, maybe i was imagining it????

If anyone wants to race, CLEAN at that, add me via ps3 Mrholston89, but i noticed that when racing online that the cars tend to be disappearing and then reappearing, causing a wreck, hell i seen them literally disappear out of the track at dega!! I'm thinking that the servers were overloaded with so many people trying to race, or people not having a lag-free router
