First of i want to applaud the members on here that sent the list of issues that the majority of the players are experiancing with the game, to Dave and the other devs over at Eutechnyx.
Also a pat on the back at the people at Eutechnyx for swiftly responding to the issues and letting their consumers know they are not only are they going to fix the issues they will let us know of the progress of them. I have never really seen anything like that before.
My impressions of the game are huge potential with bugs completly covering this potential. All it needs is some bug spray.
I have every Papyrus game dating back to the original Nascar Racing and I am also a member on Iracing. I DO NOT want sim since that is what IRACING is for. What I want on a NASCAR console is something that you can fire up grab some freinds and race the S**T out of each other do a little fender rubbin if time calls for it but to maintian the feel of NASCAR. Meaning pit stops,adjusting your line,tire wear,tuning your set, etc... and most important be FUN!
Does this game give me this feeling. HELL F***ING YEAH!!!
Buried beneath all the bugs is a one bad *** racing game imo. I did about 20 online races tuesday evening. I had 12 of those be the come out of the 5+ min loading screen only to see my car flipping and crashing ones. BUT those other 8 races were awesome!!!! If you get a group of good drivers and can hold their line and race you clean and man it is an absolute blast.This is where the game really shines!! I've never had so much fun on a racing game period let alone a Nascar title.
It seems to me this game was rushed to get out. I'm pretty sure it was somebody above the developers that made this call. If this game was held off and released a year later this game would knock the socks off people.
I'm really enjoying the game even with the bugs listed and this game should be absolutly fantastic if they can patch all the stuff that is wrong. I have faith in the people at Eutechnyx. They have laid the back bones on what can be a great NASCAR console series. I just hope they follow through and haven't scared everyone off with this launch. It was pretty bad.
It sounds like they are willing to listen and try.
