Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Can you race with a full field of cars for the full amount of laps? Or do you only have shortened races?

full field and 100 percent races if ya want to run it

[QuickSticks]

How are the setups? Are they like 09, really involved or pretty basic?

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

thank you for answering my questions i appreciate it alot. lastly, you said damage during the big one doesnt show up until after the race resumes. what if you are racing with cautions off. does damage still show up?

And can you put car manufacturers on your car in paint shop? like make a chevy, ford, etc.

Thanks for your responses Blue. I already had it pre-ordered, but your comments are making me impatient, lol. I'm thankful Eutechnyx has taken over the series -- it appears much better than previous efforts in the console genre.

If it is ok with Blue, I will piggyback on his thread with my 360 version impressions and Q&A as soon as I get home from work this afternoon. Had a friend in retail hook me up so as soon as I get some play time with it I will help out with the info for the game.

Great information, thanks for all your hard work. I will be buying 2 copies one for me for the ps3 and one for a friend for the xbox 360, great to support the game. Up until now the best nascar game I ever played was From Dirt To Daytona.
Tuesday can't come fast enough.

They are close to 09. You can choose a basic set-up like looser/tighter faster/slower...or you can get into the dirt of it, and change just about anything you want on a car.

If you race with cautions off, then the damage is real time...but that doesn't fix the particles and debris issue.

And can you put car manufacturers on your car in paint shop? like make a chevy, ford, etc.

I have not checked that yet, I will do so this morning and get back to you on that.

It really is, and Im not here to knock other developers. It's that this effort, is a very good one. IMO, it is simply the best NASCAR game ever to hit a console in regards to the AI, driving model, and overall feel. Other titles were deeper than this, but this is only year one.

Thanks Sea...I'm sure people would like a different perspective than just mine. It's always nice to have 2 different views, as there may be stuff you hate, that I like. The forums need that very much......so thank you.

I loved DTD as much as the next guy, and as the years go by, hopefully NTG will become as deep as that one, in terms climbing your way up through the ranks.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Thanks for all the info on the game blue, I have enjoyed reading it. I have a few questions.

Would you say it drives like dirt to daytona, or better or worse?

Have you had a chance to look into the hud yet, I was wondering if you can turn off everything like lap times etc and just have the cars and track on the screen?

Maybe I missed it, but in single player, can you set how many cars you want on the track, and how many laps you want to run?

Thanks again for the info.

how is the gameplay with the controller on different levels?

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Just read through the whole thread and the detailed impressions are great!
Thanks Blue!

Looking forward to hearing what the paint booth is like and how indepth that is.

[The Grimmeister]

I am wondering if are you are able to share custom cars made in paint booth to others players online?

From what I recall, here is a list of some of the real world sponsors

Sprint
O'Reilly
Direct tv
Moog
USG
Jegs
K&N
Holley
3M
Sunoco

Pretty much all of the contingencies....

I think it drives more like NASCAR 2003, then DTD. It's not far away from DTD though. If you jump out of the groove, you don't go flying towards the wall(NASCAR 09) You have a really good handle on your car, but it can all be adjusted in the difficulty. No 1 difficulty setting really drives like the other....which is a good thing.

how is the gameplay with the controller on different levels?

I actually tried the first 3 levels of difficulty using the controller, and I was able to control my very well in all 3 phases. They have a very good job of making the game accessible to wheel and controller users.

Ok..spent about 2 hours with paint booth today. For thos who are familiar with the Forza booth, you will have no issues at all creating a car. Its a layer system, just like in Forza. I was able to create Ryan Newmans old Alltel 12 car(well, half of it) in about 30 minutes, and it looked pretty damn good. Its all about manipulating the figures and icon's the are in-game.

I did not see, however, any manufaturer's decals or logo's. You can easily create a Toyota logo, Ford, Chevy...etc...etc. It aslo does not give you the option to choose between different cars.

I am wondering if are you are able to share custom cars made in paint booth to others players online?

From my understand Grimm...created skins cannot be shard between people. I see no option to do so....but that doesnt mean it's not an option. I just have not seen a way to do it, and have only ever heard that sharing a skin was not going to be in this years edition.

Hopefully I am wrong though.

No, devs announced this a few weeks back
