NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

[jtoatoktoe]

I think the important thing is...overall they seem to have done a darn good job for a first year title. Sure there will be some glitches and things we dislike, but from everything I have read...this is a very solid Freshman release...imagine what it can be in only a year or two...will definitely pick this game up.

I will be getting my PS3 copy on Tuesday and will definitely try it out for comparison. Also, it is my understanding that the Porsche wheel much like the Thrust master wheel were released earlier this year and I think they may not have time to specifically tune them for this game. I am sure though that if enough people complain it will get patched in if it hasn't been already done with the day one patch. We have to wait and see.

I asked Dave about this on Twitter a few minutes ago and he just got back to me saying "Only official Microsoft wheels are fully supported". Hopefully that means my white Microsoft wheel will have FF. I thought Fanatec would've been in that category as well tho. Very interesting.

Shows off the AI a bit. Guy isnt that great at driving yet it seems. Notice how the top 3 take off and stay in each others draft till the white flag then the guy in 3rd tries to make a move.

CORRECTION: It does work. I was told by a friend that at times the force feedback comes and goes on Nascar 09 so I thought I would give it another shot today. It actually WORKED and I couldn't be happier. The force feedback felt very good. The handling model actually feels even better with the wheel.

I am SORRY if this caused any concerns but I swear yesterday there was zero force feedback. I am so glad it works.

The only thing missing is the settings page to setup the wheel in game but luckily this wheel allows you to adjust settings.

So For those that have it, what would you rank it from 1-10 on just the dang this game is fun factor?

[Senor Nascar]

I will be re-evaluating the game's handling model after my recent findings. I will come back after testing this for a little bit with updated impressions.

Thanks for re-checking. You probably gave half of my XBOX league a mini-stroke bc I know a lot of them have Fanatec wheels haha.
