In part two of our exclusive interview with Ed Martin, Ed really helped us to understand the mindset of the developers at Eutechnyx and the direction in which the studio is heading with NASCAR 2011. (Check out part one here if you missed it.)

Operation Sports: Ed, could you talk a little bit about the multiplayer aspect of NASCAR 2011?

Ed Martin: Well, for Xbox 360 and PS3 we will have 16 players online at once who will be able to play in a variety of modes. There are private games for those just looking to race with friends, as well as public races. We have leaderboards so the very best drivers can earn the respect of the NASCAR community. We also have two-player split-screen modes across all consoles for those wanting to play with friends offline.

OS: What about the possibility of online leagues for NASCAR 2011?

EM: We currently have no official league support within the game for NASCAR The Game 2011. However, outside of the game we are already seeing a lot of websites forming leagues in preparation for the game's launch. So those looking to be part of an organized event should check out our official forums! We are looking at how to integrate league management within the game for the next version though.

Good stuff.

I like they are looking into adding saves for races. Would love to do an actual full length season.

Great stuff, thank you!!

Yes, Feb is a long wait! I wonder if this will beat GT5 to the stores? (sarcasm off).

Looks good. It seems like they are off to a really good start considering this is the companies first foray into NASCAR.

Bummer.....Still no presentation info.

Thanks for answering my question about in-game saves, I'm glad to know they're working on it.

I have a few questions.

Will there be more then 43 drivers in the database, so you don't go through an entire season with only 43 drivers taking part in a race?

How is the track selection online? Is it random? Is there certain lobbies for each track? And if the lobbie format is anything like say MW2, can you vote to skip a track if you don't like it?

Will some DLC's be available for career mode, or online use? So if we want to race as Richard Petty we could? (That would be music to my dad's ears)
