Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Great impressions!! How is the sense of speed w/ cockpit view? Thanks!

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

How about the Spotter? Does he accurately tell you if you got cars around or if you´re running 2,3 or even 4 wide.
I´m rather worried about this point as the video footages that we´ve seen indeed included a spotter voice but he almost never told you anything about that.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

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

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Thanks for responses to both sets of questions. Looking forward to picking it up Tuesday. Only downside is TW coming out same day with Augusta, which is something else I have been waiting on for ump-teen million years. Going to be a long night Tues for sure!!

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.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

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!

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 - Impressions

i read on the NTG forums that the career mode has unlimited seasons. it goes as far as you want it to

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.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

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!!

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

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?

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

By the way, what in the world is wrong with the front of KB18's car there? Is that a screenshot glitch causing the front bodywork to not show up?

Otherwise, the splitter is being held on by the Dark Side of the force. I expect nothing less from Busch.

Even though your suppose to be on ignore, I shall answer the question anyway. I'm not sure if it was a flat, but it sure in the heck felt like one. I couldn't even hold a line or turn. If it wasn't for the caution, there was no way I could have made it back to pit road...very well done. The force feedback in the wheel was very strong, and a hard to control, as it kept kicking back and forth

Put your DNF worries away, they may not be officially in the game, but the car gets so badly damaged, it makes no sense to keep racing.

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.

You see it a litte Flame, but mearly as much as when the race resumes bro. When the flag drops green again, you can really see the damage not only on your car, but on the AI cars who were involved also.

I have not run long enough races to take into account pit strategy yet, but I did see cars that took only 2 ties, and some that took 4.

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 )

1. Still not sure, but I have read on here and over at the official site, it keeps going as long as you want it to....we try to check tonight or tommorrow. If I can't simulate any races...might be tough to find out.

2. Not sure about yearly progression either...sorry bro

3. Not sure if you can simulate races, I don't remember seeing an option to do so, with my limited time in this mode.

Yep.....its really nice to have that. I can't begin to tell you how much fun it is to race in this game.

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

Well.....I will not say that it's absolutely in there...But I noticed that in my Daytona race...I saw 3-4 two-tandem packs, and thought how cool that was. It might have been just a coincidence though, as there was also large pack racing.
