I have just joined here and I have read this hole topic page by page before joining..
This is the game I have been wanting for a while now.

First off, I would like to say thank you to Blue and Seasprite for answering our questions. I apperciate that you guys are doing this for us.

Here are one of my questions
Is this game as hard to drive in just like Nascar 2003 was? I could never win a race in that game and got really mad about it. I thought I would just ask.

Thanks in advance.

The assist settings can be customized to make the novice racer and the seasoned veteran happy. You literally can make the game so easy that a 5 year old could race it or make it so hard that you will struggle to even stay with the rest of the 42 cars. I have found a happy medium and have had some success especially at tracks like vegas and california.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

This thread has made me more comfortable spending my hard earned money on a PS3, a G27 wheel, and NTG2011. Xbox needs to step its game up when it comes to racing games. The lack of wheel support on 360 is a joke and the stringent online policies with car customization is ridiculous considering Forza, Midnight Club LA and Im sure other games allowed custom paint schemes online.

Glad Im getting a PS3 as even if Im disappointed(which I highly doubt) with NTG2011, there is always GT5, F1 2010 and other racing games that I can play with my G27!

All the impressions from Blue, Seasprite, and Senor Nascar are great!(sorry if I missed anyone) It seems the race experience is very customizable and most importantly alot of fun! If any of you guys could add a little more insight on the paint booth, like the decal editor, amount of schemes allowed, etc. and if anyone found out if you can do multiple seasons in career mode with continuous stats from year to year... it'd be much appreciated!

Check this video out, and go to 2:50, he ran into Labonte high, then once labonte caught back up, he started to bump the guy back. So it is true that if you bump AI drivers they will bump you back.

Guys, Just wanted to cofirm 100% that career mode is only 1 season long, but you can play it as many times as you want though.

So stats don't roll from year to year?

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

So stats don't roll from year to year?

From what I understand, the answer is no. I will double check about the stats though...but it never rolls into 2012, 2013 etc....etc...etc.


BIG EDIT:

I got the answer on Stats continuing after season 1. There are quite a few stats keep running though, like wins, fastest laps etc.

It doesn't matter that much. No doubt I'm getting the game anyway. Thanks for all your info.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

hey guys, if this has already been asked, please send me to the correct post for the answer.

online, can we use custom cars or are we stuck with just picking a driver that is in the game already?

thanks

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Thanks for info. I'm with you had opportunity to drive one around at Dover. How is it compared to NR2003?

I think it's hard to compare it to a PC game because it still is a console game. NR2003 is definitely more sim. What NTG has is better graphics, options to make the game easier or harder depending on your skill level, and an overall fun experience.

Hope that helps.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Something I've really been wondering. Can you take created cars and substitute them for cars in the season mode. Because personally it bothers me that we are going to have two 00 cars, two 51 cars, two 7 cars, and two 16 cars. I would love to be able to create some of the real field fillers that run in Nascar and replace the Nationwide cars with those, so I don't have two cars with the same number during my season. Anyone know if this is possible?

Unfortunately this does not look possible.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Sorry if this has been asked before, is there an "Adaptive AI" settings option?I always play with this setting on NR2003.

I had read and heard that there would be an adapative AI difficulty but I cannot find it anywhere in the game. Maybe it gets added on with the patch. Let's hope so.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Blue,
Are you doing some sort of interview this morning??? If so will you ask about Wheel support?? Specifically for the 360 version? I will tell you, If this game is good for me, I will like to invest in a wheel and build a racing set up for the upcoming versions.. From what I saw on you tube the G25 wheel can be used on the 360 just need some sort of converter but that cost 90 bucks in itself so I couldn't afford it right now along with the G25 wheel and stand...

I did some research into that converter and I would highly advise against getting that thing. It turns out there is no force feedback with it. If you are looking to get a wheel for 360 I would wait till after the game comes out to see what wheels are working properly.

I personally have a Porsche Fanatec GT2 wheel which although it's operational, the force feedback comes and goes while I am playing this game. I hope it something that gets addressed by Eutechnyx.

The standard Microsoft wheel might work better on day one. I would definitely check the forums to see what people are saying before you decide to buy one.
