NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

I figured it out Blue you dont do it at individual tracks you do it in the garage on main screen. Looks like you have 60 or 70 setups you can load.

Questions in a second, but I had a request for Marty pics........here ya go Rules.





1 more of front stretch

Blue are you having issues with the caution flag not coming out. I have been wrecked quite a few time at tracks other than Dyatona and i never see a flag. JJ hit me at Cali and it turned into 7 car pile up and no caution.

Are certain drivers better a ceratain tracks?

Example: Kahne is better at Atlanta, LOWES, Texas and those tracks opposed to say Watkins Glen.

Can you confirm?

It really depends Redsox....you get xp for doing things like dominating the race, clean passes, passing your rival. I would say that I avg probably 7000-10000 nxp per race. The most I ever gained was around 14000 for 1 race.

Does it have that raw sound to them, or does it sound digitalized like all of the forza games, and most the cars on gt5? Also, can you try to get us some pictures of some VIOLENT wrecks? We've only seen dented fenders and such. I'd like to see a car torn to shreds, smoke, etc. I want some raw footage!! This is only part that I am waiting to see, everything else sounds great. Thanks again!!

Well....the violent wrecks have been hard to come by. The damge in game is well done, but when I have tried to create a catstrophic wreck, the results have been lack luster at best. This might change with the pacth Tuesday, but I'm not sure. Don't take this as there isn't much damage, but if you intent is create a devestating scene....I would temper your excitement a bit.

I hope you like it, cause the last thing I want is a phone call from you wife

I did have one accident where I blew my tire, and it was probably the coolest thing I have ever seen on a console NASCAR game. The tire was just shredded, and I was racing with my wheel, so I didnt have the option to go into photo mode. When they took the tire off, it literally was just small chunks of rubber, clinging to the rim.

I would have no idea.....The developers sent me both of my copies for the PS3 and 360. I know one guy got it from GameStop, but only because he knew the manager real well...or something like that.

Thank's bro, I really had no idea how to do it before hand. I was doing it on the fly under cautions. You don't have a ton of time under cautions to make changes, so it was very hectic.

In mine JJ had the pole for the first 3 races and was pretty dominant at all 3 tracks he was 1st,2nd,3rd

I have had this happen a couple of times....a scenario where the caution flag should have dropped, but it didn't. I am assuming the fix for this is in the patch...just like the fix for the pit entry crash is.

I am not really seeing that right now, but I have a feeling becuase I don't have the driver updates. I'm not saying that I don't see guys towards the front at certain tracks that you would expect to.....like Johnson in Cali, Kahne at Texas, Kurt Busch at Bristol...but I see other idiots who have no reason to be there. If I see Jennifer Jo Cobb turn the fastest lap one more time...I'm sending someone an email about it. I would say wait until the driver updates hit, then go from there.

Thanks Blue!

WTF JJC posted the fast lap? Where?
