Thanks in advance for your reply. ~HendrickRules

The spotter is actually decent, for being a digital voice. He, for the most part, is pretty acurate and on time in his delivery of pertinant information. The cross hair cam at the bottom of the screen is what I fell in love with. Without having to look back, you can see what cars are around you, how close they are, and if they are drafting off of you....great tool.

Could you please confirm as this potentially could explain the damage.

Well, nothing against Richard at all, but my copy is the full retail version of the game. I was lucky enough to score the only retail review copy in the nation. I am doing an interview with USA Today, tommorrow, and needed some real seat time with the retail version.

They do slow you down, and depending on what level your on, it can be pretty significant. The biggest slow down comes from using brake assist(isn't it always this one though) but I won using a small combo of assist on, and was not a real issue.

Eutechnyx's really give's the driver/player so many options that you can configure this game down to the smallest of detail, and make it drive how you pretty much want it to.

No problem guys, happy to do so......


I am going to jump back on the PS3 and get some more time on the track, mess with creat-a-car. I will jump back on in awhile, so if there is a question I can answer...I will try my best to do so.

Blue:

I understand the delay with regards to multiple cars crashing at once and damage however, if it's a small crash, say 2 or 3 cars, is the damage still delayed or does it show up immediately? This might help us explain if it's a frame rate issue when it comes to, "the big one"

that person who said that was me....and yes, the quote was 100% from richard but i guess blueandgold34_OS says its the retail.

[Hibs06]

Guess you weren't full of it, but Richard was wrong.

Is the lucky dog in the game? Just curious for races like Bristol and Richmond where it is critical.
