NASCAR '14 Review (PS3/360/PC)


There are very few fans more passionate about their sport than those embedded in NASCAR, and that passion is just as evident when it comes to the digital sport also. Ask any driver or fan and they will spends hours talking about how important the little details are to the sport, and how those details are what separate the perennial pole sitters, and the drivers fighting just to start in the top 35 each week.

Four years ago, the European developer Eutechnyx took on the monumental task of trying to replicate the intricate details of the beloved American sport on consoles, and now PC. Very few NASCAR titles have come close to doing that, and now we find out if the developers over at Eutechnyx were able to achieve just that, with the release of NASCAR ’14.

Good read, Bob.

I think I struggle a bit more with some of the AI behavior than you did, and I'm still not quite sure their tire wear is on par with the user's, but it's definitely better than last year's edition from what I've seen so far.

Online option: I would like to see them add the ability to setup an online room and allow people to join during practice. Otherwise, this mode will suffer from empty rooms.

I took this game back to GameStop about 4 hours after I bought it. I called them and said "How much can I get for a NASCAR '14 trade in, the games terrible?" and the guy said "I didn't know it was even out, I don't see a price for it. Just come in and we'll work something out."

When I got there he said he felt bad for me and gave me a full refund, lol.

In the end I over reacted and think I should have kept it. It was a solid game when playing with a controller. My main gripe was that the game doesn't go well with a racing wheel. I prefer to use my G27 racing wheel for racing games. This game has a bug to where you can't use the wheel in career mode because it makes you select your paint scheme with a controller as you enter the race weekend, then you can't go back to the wheel for the race.
