NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

[8iron]

Amazon just confirmed my pre-order delivery! I'm pumped. Kind of glad the delivery isnt guaranteed until 3PM so I won't be tempted to bag out of work.

Tough release day tomorrow, I could easily have dropped $180 but I chose to go with NTG as my preorder and get my money's worth out of that and check out TW and WWE later.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

DAM this is really not good... this came from the offical game fourm...

Online Problems So Far

1. When people pit online under the yellow you can't tell because their cars are still riding around under yellow on your screen.
2. Damage online is even lamer than the damage offline
3. Crashes online with other cars often result in my car coming to an abrupt stop for no reason.
4. Online restarts are messed up, cars are often seperated my multiple car lenghts when the green flag waves.
5. Online had No car collisons at watkins glen without any reasoning or notice
6. Online registered 1st and 2nd place both as 2nd place in one race I was in.
7. Online pit stops are really lame and take any pit strategy out of the race.
8. Career Driver is the ONLY car you can race online. You have to restart your career to change your online car.
9. When you create a private match you only have 60 seconds to invite your friends before the race starts automatically.(THIS IS REALLY BAD NEWS FOR LEAGUES)
10. Race length options are not very good. 2% 5% 10% 50% 100%.(added for hitstickmaster2)

Obviously some of this will be tweaked or fixed with the patch, but the online pit stops are flat out horrible. You stop in your stall and the pit options pop up, as soon as you confirm what you want your car just drives away. No pit stop animation, it doesnt even make you wait there while a invisible crew works on your car. It just lets you drive away completing the pit stop INSTANTLY.

man iam only going to play the game online but if this is the case ill stick with iracing.

My Live subscription just ended. I don't really enjoy playing online. Is there a way I can get the patch by plugging my internet cord into the 360 WITHOUT having Live? How important is the patch for the game? I am on the fence about picking it up, but if it needs the patch badly and I can't get it due to no Live, I may be SOL.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

I just checked my email and Gamefly already shipped NTG 2011. That pleases me very much. I wasn't expecting it untill at least Thursday or even Friday, if not even later if I wasn't high enough on the list. Looks like I'll have it by Wednesday.

Also blue, is your PSN bluengold34? Because I sent you a friend request.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Blue, assuming you've played both games which one do you prefer; Shift 2, or NTG? And you can't say both.

This could be the reason my Porsche Fanatec wheel was not working correctly.

Uh oh. I have Logitech Driving Force Pro. Bought it several years ago, too bad this isn't one of the compatible ones. I was looking forward to having FF with a wheel for this game..

I am on the 360 and can tell you that there is no doubt you will want a patch if you want proper AI difficulty and lots of bugs fixed.

You don't have to be a Gold member to get game updates. You can get them with the free Silver membership on Live. If you had a Gold membership that expired, it's still a Silver account and can download the update.
