Not sure why that is actually, since sony's approval process is typically faster then M$. I am sure it has something to do with you being a Pittsburgh fan -

I haven't checked personally but according to their Facebook page the patch is out on the 360

I'm going to check it out a bit at lunch, but based on what I'm reading, I'm not terribly optimistic. It seems like they stopped crashing after pit stops, which was a big boost, but seeing that brake checking is still alive and well in T4 at Charlotte, and they are now plowing the wall coming off of corners...well, I'm not too excited.

But I'm still itching for a NASCAR game where it has the current rule set, so I'm sure I'll try it some more before throwing in the towel for this year. I AM eager to see if they improved wheel support for it like they said they did, though.

^^^ Terry, you will be fine at Charlotte. It is true some of the cars on the outside touch the wall enough to bounce off 2-3 feet, but it really hasn't disrupted the race at all. I haven't seen it every lap, but enough for it to be called consistent.

I haven't had a chance to play yet with the patch. Is the break checking gone? That's my biggest complaint

If you're already running it, I'll trust your opinion more than the schmucks on the official boards. Tell me this:

If you run at Richmond, are the AI really stopping every few laps to pit? That's bizarre if true. I typically just run 10-20% career with 3 or 4x wear to get a few stops in.

I can deal with cars tagging the wall, because that's actually more believable than what they did previously, as far as the brake checking. But if they don't all pull straight out into the track and crash everybody on a green flag stop, that's my biggest beef. But the brake checking at places like Charlotte or Atlanta, and things like Dover seeming to have a bizarre line that made no sense in the corners--those killed it for me.

I can adjust if it's predictable and doesn't pull me out of the immersion (like a yellow every time there's a green flag stop). Turns out I don't even get a lunch today, so I won't be able to try it out for like 5 more hours.

Well I have only raced three races. In my first two race at Auto Club, and Chicago didn't notice any break checking at all. In Charlotte, I noticed it a little still in turn 3 into 4. That is a tricky turn though, and with a lot of people it feels mostly understandable.

At Charlotte the break checking in turn 3-4 is there, but I feel like it is to be expected, as that is a really tricky turn with a lot of people. It could be that I have raced Charlotte so many times, that I am just use to it also.

Racing Richmond right now - hit you back up with what I see.
