From Eutechnyx's forum:
Funniest thing I have read
"I like the fact that I can be racing at Daytona and somebody else in the room is at Chicago Land!!!! WTF is that!!!"
Not sure who he is talking about but just in case..............I have no life as I live and breathe Nascar. So reach up there one more time and pull those belts tight cause we are racing boys!

I finally had a chance to run a few races.
I like what I see so far....they made it better.
I notice the damage being improved and the tougher qualifying is forcing me to race harder.
I did notice that I can dive low coming out of turn 4 on the 1.5 ovals and pass too many cars.....however like others have posted....if I run real lines I get real results.
Not sure if I'm brave enough to try the wheel yet....I will let others blaze that trail.
I'm looking forward to trying the 2011 add on.

I raced 70 laps at Atlanta and 100 laps at Kansas. AI cars will pit during a long green. During a caution 4 ai controled cars came in to the pits with me. One issue i have seen a couple of times now with pitting is that after going green from caution the ai drivers will make one green flag lap and then 30 cars will move to the lower grove and try to make a pit stop.

Also, if the guys over on Eutes board are correct, and not over-dramatizing things(which they love to do) It seems like the online portion of the patch didn't do much to fix anything. That's a big bowl of suck for guys who play online. I use iRacing for online, so this is just a fun game to throw in, when I want to race on the 360 against the AI.

Edit: I have not done a green flag pit stop either. All been under caution.

In my opinion after several races yesterday, the patch offline has done quite a bit of good. I still see the AI slowing down randomly in the corners at times. I dont know if its just the way theyre programed to slow in the corners, or if maybe someone up front gets loose and causes a chain reaction of slowdowns all the way back. I feel like that happens someones, but at one point i passed about 6 cars in a row as they all slowed down, and the car at the front of that line i was passing was kind of twitching a bit as they all slowed down more. So, not really sure.
One thing I noticed was the caution lights in a race at Michigan, they weren't green, they weren't yellow, but they were blue/white in color? It was strange to see.
I can't speak for offline play, as I don't venture there.
Also I can't speak for how pitting is working in offline races either, I haven't had the opportunity to race a long enough race to encounter that yet.
There's still some issues, no doubt. I don't think we'll see a patch 3 though. I think they should just pack it in for NTG11 and work on trying to make 12 the best possible effort.

Wow, it is a blood bath over at the Eutechnyx forums over patch #2. All of the devs are laying low which is not a good sign. I think I might skip next year's Nascar and wait for them to work all of these issues out. 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?

All in all, this game failed to learn from all the lessons and features other companies have acquired over the years. They created a game that looks nice but plays very average and dull!
Next year, if they decide to come up with a 2012 version, consumers should probably not immediately buy the game, but rather wait for responses of it's quality.
Offline, its decent now. Nothing to be thrilled with. I'd still say NASCAR racing 1994 edition does a better job at overall feel of racing.
Multiplayer, I really don't know. I haven't been able to get into a game yet, and when I do the lobby closes or I get kicked. The few games I actually raced it as laggy, bumpy, and overall just not good.
My opinion: Trade this turd in, and go buy Dirt 3 or Race Pro. THOSE are competent games.

Thanks for the responses. I don't know, I am hoping for some odd reason the PS3 patch with the DLC built in is better. I have pretty much every racing game out for the consoles. I will hold out but right now I might be need to look into Rfactor or Iracing.
I ran a 125 lapper at Richmond last night, and was disappointed to see the entire field running in a single file line around the track. It looked like old school Gran Turismo AI. Nobody trying anything, everybody in a big long train.

Well, to be fair, in a sense, that is nascar racing nowadays.
I know what you mean though, it just feels like the AI cars are just out there. No real intelligence to them, theyre just there, going around and around, occasionally slowing down for no apparent reason still.
The one thing I must give Eutechnyx credit for however, they made a really nice looking game, and it really does have the foundation for a solid representation of Nascar moving forward. The problem is, with the lack of significant improvement through the patch, do they have the ability to really get the actual racing part of the game to move forward. Its better with the patch, no doubt, but its still far off from where it should be as a representation of Nascar, and compared to other games.

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!
