Now I am not sure if it has to do with the pit crew or not but it definitely could.

What I am noticing at least on Daytona is that the AI just dives into pit road at full speed (does not get black flagged for speeding) at the last second. The AI cars should duck off of turn 4 and gradually slow down. They are making up a ton of time on the user with that last minute dive in to pit road.

Not to mention that if another AI car is underneath the AI car that wants to pit in, the outside car just turns in towards the pits causing a yellow to come out and causing a huge wreck with it.

WHEEL OWNERS PLEASE READ THIS!

There has been reports of NASCAR the Game 2011 frying (as in destroying) Wheels! If your wheel is Force Feedback and you find the force feedback is giving in and out OR making griding sounds, DISCONNECT THE WHEEL! This has fried a G27 wheel on the PS3 side and a XBOX wheel on the XBOX side. IF YOU DON'T NEED A WHEEL DON'T USE IT until this behemoth of a problem is ***ed!!!

why does it freeze at the finish line?

This game sounds like it might be the buggiest release in racing History. Might have to start thinking about selling my ATVI Stock if they keep allowing this to happen.

Even beyond F1 2010, and that's saying something. A shame really. That said, it appears Eutechnyx is doing their best to address it. Hopefully they can get the ship righted.

In the preview videos, they made it appear as though a pop up video would appear on the upper right hand of the screen that would display the race from several different views. I have not yet seen it during any of the races in the game. Is anyone else getting that pop up screen?

In career mode do drivers retire and change teams?

Game arrived in mail today. Sitting sealed on my shelf for now -- anxiously awaiting patches to see if they make the game playable. I am returning Shift 2 immediately based on the reviews for that game.
