The game is great in my eyes other than what has been spoken about and I think they will patch these issues. Im new here but just wanted to post my thoughts about the situation.

Do you think any other game company would come out before the end of day ONE and release a statement saying we know of the issues and are working on a patch right now for it. EA would never come out and say this, they would tuck their heads in their legs and bail out on us. I think this statement by them and keep in mind before day one was even up, was a big eye opener to me and i say " if feels like this is a community company that wants to get this game right".

I love everything I see about the game in what direction they are going and have high hopes they will do the right thing and make this game the greatest nascar console ever to date.

Thanks and add me if you like on 360 tag x izzy white x

Ok so I loaded up the game and said update 1.01 I believe, I said download and it seemed to just go straight to game. Is this a small update the loads quick or should it have taken some time?

Oh and I am doing a career with Jeff Burton, why in the world is Kevin Harvick a rival to start the season? He is my teammate.

You have to quit career mode and select new driver.

I saw someone above say about losing multiple spots on green flag stops...At Daytona this happened to me because I shouldve just done a gas'n'go but for some reason the default set to give me 4 tires and I didn't change it. But when I played again and just took gas did not lose any spots after the cycle of stops.

There are definitely a bunch of bugs that need to be worked out. If anything, I really hope they allow us the need to use different setups as the stock version even on the very hard setting is too competitive. I think if many had to work on their cars more than the difficulty settings would become a moot point for a majority who like the challenge.

The A.I. cars need to sustain more damage as it just looks like bumper cars when something happens. They preached about their damage model but I am not seeing it! Shift 2 wipes the floor with them when it comes to the level of damage sustained during a race.

I had one odd bug that was pretty funny. I got turned around at Daytona on lap 39 and continued at over 161 mph BACKWARDS without touching the accelerator. Once I hit the accelerator after watching for nearly a minute, the car began to slow down.

Plus side, I drove thru the grass to avoid an accident at Daytona and messed up my suspension. That was a nice touch!

I am liking how on long green flag runs the handle of the car goes away.

However, on ever crash I have seen the AI doesnt even seem to try and avoid the wreck they just keep running into it. That is a major disappointment.
