Yeah, that kinda worries me. Reminds me too much of F1. This may be a wait and see title for me right now. March 29th is just too crowded with games and Shift 2 looks to be the more dominate racing title at this time.

I want to like this and want to get it, just scared with how bad F1 was out of the box.

The fact they moved the release to late March from mid February gives me reason to suspect it won't be like F1. I believe they were well aware of Codemasters debacle as there was a thread over on Eutechnix's forum discussing it, i.e., "hope NASCAR The Game doesn't do the same thing".

If their developers are to be believed, the game was more or less in a shippable state for the mid-February goal, but they delayed it to polish it up that much more. I believe F1 may have been in the back of their minds somewhere. My two cents.

Totally agree with that, but then hearing them say that they aren't sending out reviewable copies because it's going to be worked on up till a week before release tells me otherwise.

I really hope you're right.

Thanks for that. I guess it's a glass half full kind of thing. Half full in that they're working on making the best product for release and half empty in that the game is buggy as heck and needs working on right up to release.

I'm going for glass half full!
