What I don't understand is they clearly released a list to all of the problems fixed and from what I can tell, it still sounds like nearly 1/2 are still a problem. Those playing the 360, what is your take..........keep, trade in or use as a coaster for your cold drinks?

Keep it the game is more fun after the patch then before it. Is it perfect nope but then what is.

I can't seem to figure out how to get my NAT to open. I get this pop up when putting my internet number (you guys know what I mean) into my web browser asking me for my username and password - I'm not sure what it is (is it related to my router???). I looked up a few tutorials, but I get stuck there. I'm also seeing that many are saying it has no effect for them... so I don't know. Thanks!

Maybe they focused more on making their other games in development. Like Auto Club Revolution.

Haven't played the game with the patch yet, but from what I'm hearing about offline gameplay over at the Eutechnyx forums is that its fixed. That's fine by me, I don't really like playing games online.

This company is embarrassing and logically if NASCAR knows about their level of development, they would chop them so fast. It makes the sport look bad which NASCAR clearly would not want. Poor team all the way around. They can't handle the reins of their own game which is just so odd, immature, unprofessional, etc. Defaces the sport in many ways considering this product is nationwide. They clearly have a complete lack of knowledge and development power. I mean people are passionate about their sports and this unprofessional game developer has absolutely no class for an American sport and is an embarrassment. This is a big sport in America so obviously this is a big responsibilty and Eutechnyx can't handle that. This isn't like Ea sports (or any developer for that matter) where they may not have had the paint schemes you wanted, or the game modes, features, etc. This is a problem in the base of the game, servers, Eutechnyx if you want to get to the core. I haven't experienced anything like this is a game ever before. It's embarrassing, the fact they are making another game is embarrassing. I will not be buying it in 2012 or whatever they are doing cause they do not have a handle on it and it's embarrassing, and as a fan of NASCAR I would love if they were rooted out.

I finally got a chance to play it post patch.....
spent most of my free time redoing my career car
since the Headlights and tail lights are now pre done.

I started a career and found right off the bat offline play is
much much better.

no more stupid spotter talking about eating shrimp.....
he's only heard from when needed now.

cautions much more realistic.....got halfway through Dayton when 1st caution
came out (Kyle Busch spinning out in the grass).

When that happened I pitted as did some other cars. But 2 laps after the caution
like 20 cars pit????? which moved me way up to around 14th......

anyway with about 6 laps to go.....

It's not Daytona without Ryan Newman flying through the air..........
he gets cut of by Logano and flips his car....I was laughing so hard....poor Newman.

I pit to get gas....and no one in front of me does????
I had like enough gas for 6 laps but wanted tires.........

Guess what...... it was wreck fiesta after that...... did 3 tries for GWC
on the third I was up in the top 10 and rounding the last turn before the pits and everyone
in front of me pits????? right before the finish!!!???

I win Daytona....this game must still be broke cause that shouldn't happen....I stink at
racing games.

Overall it's much better for offline, cars stay to the track better, AI more arresive without being stupid....(I was able to lock on a bumper and now see it turn red as I push, I actually was locked on no spinning out and no CPU acting like a fool when trying to draft).

Overall was a lot more fun......

couple questions..... I thought they were supposed to have new cars or updates to the cars for current paint schemes????? how do we get them if they are there????

also when unlocking painitschemes why are the car numbers missing from the cars????
can they be added so you can actually use what you unlocked???

thanks and happy racing.

On the 360, the Patch and DLC are seperate. When its available, you'll have to pay 160 MS Points to get it. On PS3, the patch and DLC are one download.
