I don't mean this in a way that you have to verify your feelings with me, to make sure it's OK. I mean it in the way of understanding how some people love this game, some people like this game, and some people downright hate this game.

blue the nine things i listed above are you seeing that on the ps3

They did a lot of things right in this game, but another 6 months of development title, this would have been a AAA title. I love the game for what it is, but upset at the online options, as we had a huge league planned.

Excellent post. People need to remember that this is Eutechnyx's first foray into NASCAR and you can't expect the first attempt to be perfect. Judging by what you've posted of you interactions with the development team, the seem like they are committed to making a great game, but they need time to work out all the kinks. Sure the game has flaws, but we need to report those flaws in a mature manner so that the devs will want to continue interacting with and looking to the community for support. Overly negative posts will only serve to alienate the developers from the community and won't help them patch the flaws in this game and make future versions of the game even better.

Dont get me wrong i have iracing and i knew this game wasnt going to be anything like it at all i got this game to have some fun and to get away sometimes from the seriousness of iracing but this games online mode so far is broken and i really hope they can fix it cause this game can be really really good i just dont want them to not try to fix it at all and then the gaming world will just get all negitive things about this game and who knows there might not be a nascar the game 2012.

Every time I thought the yellow should have dropped, it has 3 ai rubber banding even in long race whole field staying within 10-15 sec. I personally have not seen this at all. But most of my races were short, as I was trying to get impressions with you guys. I did 4-5 30 lappers though, and really never ran into this.... 4 ai crash while pitting under yellow Pre-patch yes.....not since the patch dropped, but I have only ran a race of significant length twice after the patch. 5 ai no dammage while my car is killed in crashes Yep, I brought up the damage issue almost immediately. Its there, but so inconsistent. You have to beat the **** out of the AI car for it to look like yours 6 loose 20 spots with green flag stop even after all has stoped Not quite sure what you mean here bro...please explain a little more in depth 7 to easy to get pole on any level and all levels still to easy Getting the pole on the PS3 version for me, on very hard with no assist on, is a chore, and I feel lucky when I get it. Please keep in mind though, I have only race maybe 2-3 races with qualifying on post patch. Most of the races I did were short for impressions. 8 caution lights stay on all the time Have not noticed this at all for the PS3, not saying some people haven't noticed this on the PS3 version, but I have not at all...ever. 9 floating spoilers on frount of car hood

Once again, never saw this once on the PS3 version pre-patch or post patch.

I have been enjoying the heck out my 360 copy, Online is still messed up but no biggie at the moment. I've had a blast in create a car, even without the manufacturer decals and headlight decals. There are some issues but the game is FUN and nothing some patched won't clear up I think.
