I *might* hop on to check it out later, but honestly, if there are no dramatic framerate or AI improvements then I'm not sure how much I'll get out of it. Sounds like mostly minor tweaks from here on out.

FWIW, MSRP has dropped to $39.99.

It's pretty sad that I might not even check out the update, considering the previous patches haven't fixed the core issues. Still can't believe I paid full price for this game, ugh.

You and me both man. I can tell you one thing for certain, these' guys aren't getting another penny from me. If they release another game after this one, it's not something I'll pick up until I know for certain it's worth it, and even then I'll probably wait for a sale or pick it up used.

I'm stunned they've done so little, the first patch was nice and made me feel like there'd be some good support and additions. However, nothing really since then, and no real acknowledgement of issues. Knowing how upset everyone was with this game, I would have figured they'd have done something other than a new paid DLC pack every month. At least give up something to build up some good will, but, nope.

I keep hoping something positive will come down the pipe, but every month it's just new DLC packs. News of some kind of huge update prior to rolling into the new season would be pretty awesome, I doubt that's in the plans though.

Nice to see the beer sponsors have made it in with this update though. I fired the game up just to check them out. I wish there were some more notes on this patch, hopefully there's some information to come.

I'd like to see just how many people actually buy the DLC. Considering how much they've put out and the prices, it's total cost has to be close to another $60. Crazy! I agree on the Miller Lite scheme. Breath of fresh air to see that and boy does it look good! The "Brad" scheme was just a major eyesore to me. Wish Harvick had his Busch scheme, since he's my driver.

A steady drip of paid DLC always looks like a cash grab, even when it's associated with a great game.

But a flow of paid DLC for a dogsh*t title like NASCAR Heat Evolution borders on theft.

Caveat emptor.

I kicked in four bucks for a bunch of spotter audio, only because the default was driving me bonkers. Unfortunately the others aren't much better. And I will admit, if this was a top-tier NASCAR game then I would purchase the Darlington throwbacks because those look awesome. But not for this game, not in its current state.

Ok, I got sidetracked by titanfall 2 man that game is fun. Anyway I played some more Nascar Heat Evo here's what I'm seeing. In career mode A.I. on easy I always qualify 40th and end up finishing in the high 20's or low 30's. I think I'm going to have to use simulation mode so I can turn the faster laps times, unless there a way to upgrade my car that I'm missing, I won't be able to compete.

Quick race mode on the other hand I find much more competitive. I've had a few polls and a couple top ten finishes. I'm enjoying it so far, I'll finish my career and see where I go from there, may do multiple seasons if I'm able to compete a bit more.
