NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

[Rules]

Have you seen or had a flat tire and if so, did the car handle poorly? Any serious vibrations using the wheel?

You haven't bailed cuz of the whole caddie system thing, huh?

Also, it's a good thing the cars do become damaged after the wrecks when the race restarts cuz uhhhhhh remember- no dnfs! I was wondering how that was gonna work if they sustained little to no damage.

So to clarify, you don't see the damage as it's occurring, but you do see the body damage afterwards, such as during the replay and when gameplay resumes, correct? If so, I can live with that for now.

Also, any insight on AI pit strategy?

1. in career mode is there multiple seasons? ( I know it's already been asked )
2. does it progress or is every season 2010?
3. can you simulate races? ( this would help you to answer questions one and two )
Thanks!

Now, if only a NASCAR career mode would make an effort to accurately replicate rising talents, declining stars, retirements and the silly season. I'm guessing this first effort doesn't do that.

Just being able to play a career (in a universe of ageless racers, admittedly) is welcome for me. I'm used to NR2k3.

Ok...I People had real concerns about the AI taking different lines, fighting for position...here is your evidence.

Please not that the damage is there, and well done. Its just nearly as noticeable during the actual wreck in real time.
different view!!

I'm finally, finally, FINALLY going to get to play a racing game where the AI truly fights for position, makes mistakes and competes with me.

FINALLY.

I have a question. How was does the two-car draft work at Tally and Daytona? Or does it?
