NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

[chrisasst]

I ordered the game from amazon with same day delivery. First time doing this, can any one tell me if the games usually come in the morning or at night. I know it depends on your location, but... are they usually shipped UPS or postal?

I can almost see my PSL's from the first pic. They look great!

I am a driver for UPS and we ship all amazon orders. Most likely you will get the game towards the evening because we deliver our business stops first and then do our residential stops after that. I hope this answers your question.

I started new career with AI on Very Hard and my driver assist on pro one passed legend.
I started of Qualifying 11th at Daytona JJ won the pole it was a fun race i got the lead with 6 to go lead for 1 lap and then the train rolled by me. This is first time in Racing on console game where i took the lead and ran good line as was caught thats a good thing. I finished 6th never could get back to the front couldnt get in the draft of first five when they went by me.
2 nd race was at Cali i won the pole and lead ever lap won the race by 1.9 seconds. I run a very good line here never was much of a race.
3rd race was Vegas Qualified 9th finished 4th JJ won the pole i never led here couldnt get by JJ never left the top 10 here.
4th race was Hotlanta and i qualified 3rd Jeff Burton won the pole here. I was on rails here i was running laps in mid 30s and just smoked the field.
I havent made any adjustments to my car as of yet i really think once the patch comes out the SP on this game will be untouchable by any console game.
Blue thanks the cross hairs have saved me this time around havent had a crash as of yet. I am enjoying the game more and more i really hope the patches even tweak it a lil more to make it great for SP.
Also someone ask earlier if you got money for better upgrades from sponsors no you dont. I have 2 sponsors right now that give me plus 5 nxp for certain things each race. Other 2 sponsors want be unlocked unitl i mak the chase.

Haha I'm a UPS driver to my union brother. Amazon does do that free shipping thing with there Basic service. It's usually a FedEx USPS combo deal. Be yes if you pay for shipping 99% of the time we deliver it. Quick what's ur 5 seeing habits..JK

Ok, I usually get UPS shippments around 9:30 am, but like I said I have never ordered a game with the Release-Date Delivery...

The spotters random conversation about eating shrimp to Hendrick boys wanting to get pizza tonight is odd. Just tell me if im clear or not. Last night at Daytona Carl went by me like i was standing still spotter says where did he come from. Im yelling at my TV saying i dont know im driving the car thats your damn job.

This is the thing for me. Every, and I do mean every, sports game has it's issues, but as long as they're fun I can see past them. That sentence alone makes me sure I'm going to enjoy this game. Thanks Blue for the no bs assessment.

I'll be glad when I don't have to keep hooking up the tv to my pc just to get a NASCAR fix.
