NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Well, I've had enough. I bought the game launch week, played it heavily for three or four days and then decided to wait for the patch since online play was just completely and utterly broken. They talked about the patch coming relatively quickly.

April fools.

Two months later and this miracle patch is pushed back AGAIN. It has taken them over two months to make an effort to fix their broken video game. Best Buy currently has a 2 for 60 trade-in deal and NTG:11 is on the list of qualifying games.

At this point, I'll happily trade this game for 30 bucks I can use towards a functional product. I'm a lifelong NASCAR fan and I'm absolutely disgusted with their effort.

Doing simple math, that means one of the games is worth $30. Since NGT is on the list, then that's a $30 trade in value. Not sure what you missed there.

This is a royal pain in the ***.

Ive been waiting for this patch since april, yep I understand about the PSN outage, but now they have found MORE bugs.

Why did they even release this game in this condition?

I Don't have two games to trade in Mr. Rockefeller, so how much is NTG 11 worth all by itself? $30? Hell No, Amazon will give you $20 trade in. Trade in 10,000 games you might get $35 a copy.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

He didn't even say it was worth $30 on its own. And I love the attitude.

Try exerting a little effort, calling a store, or doing something that you seem to think everybody else owes you instead of misreading somebody's post and trying to use smileys and basically calling the guy out as an idiot. His point was valid. If you don't have a second game, that's not his fault. It's still worth $30 to him if he trades it in using the method he clearly described.

With a posting style like this, I'm shocked you've made it from March until now here.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

For those of us who play mainly offline, is this game worth an investment?

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

I'd stay as far away from it as possible, personally. If you just want a short 10 or 15 lap sprint race, it might be fun.

But if you want to actually include pit stops or any race length longer than a dozen laps, it's absolutely atrocious. I've been waiting for that patch to hit since release day like everybody else, and I'm fed up. It's garbage in its current state, but I DO applaud the dev team for being so open in their lines of communication.

I believe that it will eventually be worth playing...but it may be August before we see that. I'd say stay away from it until you actually know the latest patch hits. Then check out impressions, and if they're solid, give it a go.

But right now, I'd say stay far away.

What are you laughing at? The Sonics might have left but you still live in Milwaukee

This exactly the way I have used this game from the beginning, with some of the issues. If you're trying to play this title in any other form right now, you're setting yourself for failure and frustration.

I've found that 15% races are as far as you can go to avoid pit stops and all the trouble that comes with them. It's still quite short but it's a good bit more than 10-15 laps, except for road courses of course. You're spot on about the rest though.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Right now for me the only thing keeping this game from collecting dust is the paint booth. Even that is starting to get old. Its great that Eutechnyx is owning the issues and keeping in touch with the community but the wait is getting to be far too long. The games been out for two months and they still havent worked out a patch... just goes to show how flawed the game was at release.
