Yes it is, and really for no reason. There are enough good people over there, that I hope they can pull it back in, and remain civil until Tuesday.....

On Tuesday, they can make and form their own opinion. If someone hates the game after they have played it, then thats fine. I just wish people would actually play a game before they start posting ignorant and inflammatory post.

Alight a couple of questions,

1. Did you ever find out about the 4 manufacturers in the paint booth?
2. Does the game come with the headlights in the paint booth, b/c there definitely on the 53 car (page 17) w/out chevy logos?
3. Can you please post a custom car that you made to show us really what were gettin in the paint shop.

Thanks for answering many, many questions!

The manufacturer decals will come with the 2011 patch within the next month or two. This is straight from the developers. They've been putting a lot of time into the 2011 Car Model and everything that goes with that, so some of the smaller details with the 2010 Car Model were left a bit rough around the edges, I believe.

I wouldn't really critique the Paint Shop feature until the 2011 content is in the game later this Spring. I'll be racing long exhibition races until that content hits.

So excited.

I've been trying to get this question answered for more than a week by the devs. I wanna know if after a quick race if I can go back to the lobby and tweak my setup without having to go back offline to work on it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the game.

I have the same problem that Blue does, I cant find anyone in the lobby at this point so I cant really test out your question. Hopefully more people will start to get the game and start loading up the lobby.

"Blue...You're my boy".....haha you seriously have some kind of patience. I'm pretty convinced I'll be buying this game, though even if you had dissed I'm a big enough fan of NASCAR to get it. The worst that they could produce is an EA remake that we've gotten every year in the NASCAR gaming history on consoles. So my questions are:

1- When all cars come into pit, do you see other teams jumping the wall or making changes, etc?
2- Being somebody that desperately wants a SIM vs. arcade type feel, with the setting on "Very Hard", is there that SIM feel to the game?
3- Finally, is the option to "rim-ride" at any given track, with that groove, possible? EA gave drivers ONE line to take for speed?(the lower)

Thanks Blue!

How is the realistic AI? Is Johnson always up front and guys like Kvapil always in the back?

Here is a question I have not seen yet or answered yet.

I drive with a wheel and only like to drive Sim games (GT5), or Sim games with a touch of Arcade (Dirt). Where would you place this game?

IF not Full Sim, then what percentage Sim to Arcade? I would say Dirt2 is 75% Sim 25% Arcade just to give you an idea of what I think.

The older Nascar games made by EA were not worth playing to me, way too much arcade. I am just trying to figure out where you are coming from as for testing this game.

Thanks! You are doing a great job.

OH, and that question was for bluengold34_OS who is using a Logitech Wheel on
the PS3, that is what I use.
