Ok let me calm down, ok well does it at least keep championship TROPHIES in the garage on display? I mean its freaking gotta keep track of our championships some way right? God what a let down how could a NASCAR game this GREAT leave out how many championships we win in stats on record OUT OF THE GAME STATS. Someone please wake me up from this nightmare its like its a 36 race season of nothing more than a career DEMO game. Im a guy that could could be hit by a car and get up laughing but hearing this news on this game makes me want to scream rage and then cry like a baby lol. Man Im upset over that. Well have fun guys this is a great blog keep it going strong but Im one Nascar huge fan not buying the game now. I gotta have stats on my championships. Thats all I care about in nascar games in career mode. I win every race 24/7 no need to keep track of those I love my long EARNED championships all pretty looking at me in the stats. Take care everyone!

Is this guy like 12 years old or something?

I raced countless seasons in NR2003, and that was nothing more than a single season.

If the racing's good, then it doesn't bother me. I can see where you're coming from as far as a "career mode", though. They probably should have called it something else...like "Season(s) Mode". It would confuse less people that way.

I was going to write the exact same thing. I think I will do this in a notebook just so I can track who wins at what racetrack from year to year and how people finish each year. I like to keep track and then look back at it.

This is really a better way then having the game do it for you because you can keep track of exactly what you want to.

ps. Why did you spell cardinals wrong in your username?

Please tell me it has the Miss Sprint Cup girls smiling after I win a race. If not I am sending this game back. I mean how do they not include Monica Palumbo? That is not realistic at all. This my friends is a game breaker!

They better patch them in!

In all fairness to the devs, they made it clear from the beginning that career mode would be pretty basic the first time out, i.e., race a season for points, lather, rinse, repeat.

Their reasoning was they wanted to ensure they nailed the action on the track first. Once they got that down reasonably well, they could use future iterations to develop a more robust career mode.

I’m ok with that for now. If they had to make choices like this their first time out, I’d rather it be this choice than a robust career mode, but where the action on the tracks stinks.
