NASCAR Heat Evolution Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Does anyone play with friends or online ?

I only use my XB1 for Halo 5 with co workers and friends, but our group is trying to find a decent racing game to play and someone jokingly said NASCAR Heat and it turned into an actual interest in playing it.

I'm just wondering if the online experience has changed any since some earlier impressions and if it's stable.

I'd recommend Project Cars to play with friends online, it's got nice tracks and tons of different types of cars. I believe it's on sale on the X1 as well.

Its not bad, Chase.

But if you wanna race online, get forza horizon 3 or even F1.

I would have to agree with Mo - NASCAR is an OK online experience, but I would lean towards F1 for a better overall game.

Since the season is coming up on us quickly, I decided to finally dig into career mode. My plan is to run short races (4%) to get through the first couple seasons when my team is bad and then adjust the race length and AI difficulty once I'm on par. So far, 16 races in first season I'm 22nd in points with a win. Trying to get my team really good so I can follow along with the real season here in 6 weeks or so. I'll find myself more likely to play if I'm not running back of the pack all the time.

I'm pretty sure there are no custom lobbies for this game, so I don't think you'd even be able to start up a friends-only league unless you all agree to a time when the servers are empty (which could be anytime for all I know).

I picked it up during the Steam Winter Sale for PC of course. It's a step up from the horrid NASCAR 14 and 15. The AI provides an enjoyable race, but it's really bare bones. I hope next year we at least have the ability to look left and right. It's ridiculous that a racing game doesn't have that ability. I also want to be able to customize the FOV settings. This is must for triple screens or ultrawide monitors. All in all, pleased with what I paid for it and hopeful for the future.

I'm not a NASCAR fan and do not want to actually control a car around the track. Can you create a driver/car and let the CPU drive the car around the track? I'd just like to watch a couple big races with a created classic driver/car. Thanks
