Yes, it is just a matter of time. I am sure we will get a date for the fix as soon as Eutechnyx solves it with Microsoft. It has to do with the difference in policing user content from one console to another. Microsoft has a much stricter policy.

The lack of wheel support on 360 is a joke and the stringent online policies with car customization is ridiculous considering Forza, Midnight Club LA and Im sure other games allowed custom paint schemes online. Glad Im getting a PS3 as even if Im disappointed(which I highly doubt) with NTG2011, there is always GT5, F1 2010 and other racing games that I can play with my G27! All the impressions from Blue, Seasprite, and Senor Nascar are great!(sorry if I missed anyone) It seems the race experience is very customizable and most importantly alot of fun! If any of you guys could add a little more insight on the paint booth, like the decal editor, amount of schemes allowed, etc. and if anyone found out if you can do multiple seasons in career mode with continuous stats from year to year... it'd be much appreciated!

You will not be dissapointed. The G27 is a fantastic setup. Wish that I could use it on my 360 for Forza but I will trade off not being able to use it on the 360 for the improvement in the pedals over the Fanatec setup (unless you go clubsport and then you are getting really pricey).

I know that the 25 is specifically programmed but can anyone confim the 27 has specific settings on the game as well.

Tuesday is going to be a long racing day with this and Shift releasing.

Some more impressions for you guys in regards to the cockpit view which reveals the wheel and hands.

It is crazy that every single driver's car in the game has a different interior in regards to the wheel, tach, placement of gauges and position of mirrors.

The only downer is no matter what type of custom car make you choose, all interiors are the same. Even weirder is the rear view mirror is in the passenger seat so you really do not have one unless you are playing with a controller and can scroll to the right with the right stick to see it.

I can tell you that both the G25 and G27 were specifically tuned for this game. I am not sure if there are specific settings on the game...Blue might be able to answer that for you.

Here are the stats it keeps for your driver (all-time): # of Races # of wins Top Tens Fastest Laps Pit Stops There are also stats such as: Hours played Miles driven Longest draft Fuel Used New tires Online it will keep track of: Races Wins Top Fives Fastest Laps Skill Level (represented by stars)

Those stats should be good enough for this years game. I hope they have a more in depth career for future games.

From the interviews I have heard, I guarantee next year's game will be much more in depth.

Blue I don't mean to nag but would you be able to answer yes or no to any chance of getting Dover or Talladega screenshots? Thanks much.
