        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.

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

              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.

                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!

                    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.

                      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.

                        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?

                            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.

                                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. 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.

                                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.
