NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

[Claymaker52]

And do some drivers elect to stay out under caution, or take 2 tires instead of 4? What I'm trying to say, is there dynamic pit strategy for the AI in this game?

I think this is correct just raced Bristol and i hit the same cone 10 times around the track. I also hit car parts and never saw a caution spotter does say their saying there is debris on the track but no caution.

I havent figured out how to yet but damn he is annoying. For me its the same 4 catch phrases every race. Something about i bet its hotter up here than down their. I almost chocked on this shrimp cocktail up here. The thing about Hendricks guys buying pizza. Something about a hotdog never can understand what he is saying.

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!

On the cautions is cockpit view i havent ever seen another crew jumping the wall will check better next time.

2nd thing on very hard its defiantly leaps beyond where EA was but as Blue has said there are small issues. Im hoping this will be addressed with the patch and i think it will. As i stated earlier i got off to a nice lead at Daytona thought oh god this EA style and a group of 5 freight trained by me i couldnt even hook onto there draft.

Last this is one of my favorite things you can use different lines at all 5 of the tracks i have run at. The high side at Daytona work best for me and at Atlanta i stayed high pretty much the whole race.

I was looking at online leaderboard earlier and their are some great times out their. low 15 at Bristol without tuning my car i got a 16.5 but and that was fastest lap the whole race so guy had it on rails.
