Looks like 6 laps on easy. Not flattering.


WTF....I hope he was racing with a controller. He was all over the place, and just abused the AI along the way. I am not sure if this is an indictment on him, or the game itself. He kept dive bombing in the corners, and cutting the track.........but if it was wih a controller, then I guess I can understand without knowing how the controller handles in this game.

Bob, I think he's mentioned on twitter that he only uses the controller.

Nonetheless, that reminded me so much of EA's installments.

Had to be a controller. AI looked like crap.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Video - Bristol Motor Speedway

It looks nice, thats for sure. Can't believe how much you can "lean" on the AI cars though. That looked more like a demolition derby than a race. I was confused too by the AI how they stayed in a big long double file pack. Only time you actually see that in nascar is on the plate tracks, but even that's changed now with the 2 car drafting stuff we saw at Daytona. That's the first video of this game I've seen that turned me off a little bit from the game. Still a buy for me, no doubt though.

I have such high hopes for this game, but the more I see videos like this, makes me think that this is just another arcadey type racer. Once again, no cautions or wrecks were shown.

Drafting is important in the speedways and superspeedway tracks, not necessarily Bristol. The spotter kept talking about the draft along with the graphics displaying the car was in the draft. Spotter also seems to say "slingshot past them" a lot.

Would be nice to see someone using an actual wheel instead of a controller to see how the AI responds without all the bumping and banging from the player. Basically, see the actual "sim" side of this game instead of the arcadey crap. Game looks great which is uplifting but if the gameplay is bad that won't matter. I'm scared but still hoping cause I pre-ordered it! lol

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Video - Bristol Motor Speedway

I have yet to see the video, so I reserve any judgement. However, like the previous video, I can only assume the difficulty is set fairly low. I have to think that after a few hours with this game, most of us will have progressed past this and moved up to a more realistic difficulty setting.

That's the thing I noticed too. Good AI is important to me as I don't race online and I don't like it when you can pass multiple cars with one attempt -- too arcadey.

Still got my fingers crossed and I'll reserve judgement for later but...
