The NASCAR The Game: Inside Line patch was released for the PS3 a few weeks ago. Microsoft rejected the patch for 360 users about a month ago.
Today the patch is available for the 360. We've listed the fixes below. Race a few laps and let us know what you think.
Online:
- Xbox, a player can be put into a lobby where NATs conflict meaning they will be kicked when the counter reaches zero.
- If someone is dropped when in the Infield Garage, the rolling starts are broken.
- Matchmaking puts the player into a lobby when a game is already in progress.
- After a caution / quick caution, players can be dropped from the game.
- If a player DNF’s and then a caution is called, players separate into different lobbies.
- Infrequently the player appears to have hit a car in front even though they are not touching.
- Sometimes laps go out of sync when compared with other players in the game.
- On the Caution Summary, the number plate becomes mixed up if a player leaves the game.
- On the Garage Overview screens, the number plates are not listed correctly.
- If the host is in any position other than first, they will take off and leave the pack in both SF and DF rolling starts after a caution.

- Often 3 laps are run in a GWC.
- At the end of a practice session, the Overview appears different on numerous players consoles.
- A player car number doesn't show up in the lobby interface when joining a game in progress until that player finishes racing and returns to the lobby.

- The CSR wheel depresses both the accelerator and clutch at the same time.

- The player can get inaccurate lap times, normally very small.
- A.I. cause cautions when leaving pit road under green flag conditions.

- During a pit stop changing the wedge, returning to do another stop, the wedge has changed.
- Richmond and possibly other tracks, some AI drivers change their paint scheme between practice and the race.
