Flash sale now on the PS4 has this game for $29.99. I so want to buy it but after reading the last few comments here I can't do it.

I pulled the trigger. Had planed to wait for 19.99 lol

So far I did a couple quick races. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Dont get me wrong it's not a 59 dollar title.

Seems rough in spots and short on some basic features you would normally see in past nascar games. Example I didnt see where my lap times stand up vs. the field in practice...not sure if I missed it.

I did run laps at Kansas and Texas.

Once I adjusted the AI I had some fun running practice. I battled with the 18 for several laps. It was actually fun.

When the race started I was on the pole and was passed by the 4 on the bottom going into turn 1. Got back by him going into 3 and then just blew away the field.

Flashes of fun so far....Dont have high expectations....should get 20 bucks of value from it though.

I decided to buy this game at the sale price last night. I ran about 5 short quick races just to check it out. The racing seems fine, just need to tweak the A.I. difficulty to make them more competitive. My complaints: Why can't we turn the driver names off? Why are tracks locked? And I'm disappointed with the last gen graphics. All in all I know I'll spend a lot of time with this once I get it set up so I'm not blowing by the A.I.

So I've run 10 races in the quick race mode or what ever it's called using Tony Stewart. Normal setting at about 4% usually around 8 to 12 laps depending on the track. I also started a career and ran the first 3 races of the season I upped the lap count a bit (Daytona was 20 laps, Atlanta was 42 laps) and will be moving it to 25% if not 50%. I want to get it where I have a decent amount of laps per race and at least two pit stops. So yeah the game is bare bones , minimal tweaking can be done but I'm finding the racing on the track to be quite good so far.

I did try simulation mode for a few races and although I was getting faster lap times I was also getting spun out so I'm sticking with normal for now, the point is fun not frustration for me.

Doing the longer races I think I'm going to need a wheel , hand cramps up using the controller.

Yeah, I'd like to try the sim setting with a wheel as I couldn't do it with a controller. I run 25% with x2 tire/gas, but might up that to x4 as 2-3 pitstops are normal right now, but that depends on yellow flags, which always seem to not coincide with my pit strategy, which then results in me being a lap down or excessively at the back of the pack....which then results in the monster rubber banding effect, to launch myself back to the 18-25th positions.

I only place higher if pit strategy works out for the last 3 laps. I'm horrible on restarts..>I hold my own for about the first corner, then apparently stand still til I drop about 15 places, then can't move up or down. lol.
