They did a really nice job with the cockpits, I have yet to find two that look exactly the same. I went through and looked at all the Fords and they seem to all have different guages and placements.

Hey seasprite or bluengold if you were to go up and pancake the wall how they can in real life what is the damage like. Just scrapes and minor cosmetic damage. Little to nothing like sometimes happens where you cant tell the driver has hit the wall. Or does the car rip apart.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

I rips apart no doubt and exposes the chassis. I hit the infield wall at about 120 and my front end was ruined. One thing that I thought was interesting is that the wall also took damage and you could tell the there was an impact there.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Blue i have a question for you i guess im lost just started a new career on Very Hard and i wanted to figure out where i tweak my set up before qualifying and after. I dont see it im sure its in there but for the life of me i cant find it. Also JJ ran a 47.4 for his Qrun i was only able to get to 12th. I think if i could set up my car correctly i could get closer.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Blue, thanks again for doing this. I actually trusted your word, and my wife went to the mall a bit ago and paid in full for my copy for my ps3!! I can't wait to play this with my logitech driving force wheel with my surround sound turned up and 43 v8's screaming. How does the sound of the cars come across on this game? Does it have that raw sound to them, or does it sound digitalized like all of the forza games, and most the cars on gt5? Also, can you try to get us some pictures of some VIOLENT wrecks? We've only seen dented fenders and such. I'd like to see a car torn to shreds, smoke, etc. I want some raw footage!! This is only part that I am waiting to see, everything else sounds great. Thanks again!!

I mean like if you scrape the wall and keep going.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

I figured it out Blue you dont do it at individual tracks you do it in the garage on main screen. Looks like you have 60 or 70 setups you can load.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Blue are you having issues with the caution flag not coming out. I have been wrecked quite a few time at tracks other than Dyatona and i never see a flag. JJ hit me at Cali and it turned into 7 car pile up and no caution.

**KahneFan4** · 03-26-2011, 02:39 PM

Are certain drivers better a ceratain tracks?

Example: Kahne is better at Atlanta, LOWES, Texas and those tracks opposed to say Watkins Glen.

Can you confirm?

It really depends Redsox....you get xp for doing things like dominating the race, clean passes, passing your rival. I would say that I avg probably 7000-10000 nxp per race. The most I ever gained was around 14000 for 1 race.

Well....the violent wrecks have been hard to come by. The damge in game is well done, but when I have tried to create a catstrophic wreck, the results have been lack luster at best. This might change with the pacth Tuesday, but I'm not sure. Don't take this as there isn't much damage, but if you intent is create a devestating scene....I would temper your excitement a bit.

I hope you like it, cause the last thing I want is a phone call from you wife

I did have one accident where I blew my tire, and it was probably the coolest thing I have ever seen on a console NASCAR game. The tire was just shredded, and I was racing with my wheel, so I didnt have the option to go into photo mode. When they took the tire off, it literally was just small chunks of rubber, clinging to the rim.

I would have no idea.....The developers sent me both of my copies for the PS3 and 360. I know one guy got it from GameStop, but only because he knew the manager real well...or something like that.

Thank's bro, I really had no idea how to do it before hand. I was doing it on the fly under cautions. You don't have a ton of time under cautions to make changes, so it was very hectic.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

In mine JJ had the pole for the first 3 races and was pretty dominant at all 3 tracks he was 1st,2nd,3rd

I have had this happen a couple of times....a scenario where the caution flag should have dropped, but it didn't. I am assuming the fix for this is in the patch...just like the fix for the pit entry crash is.

I am not really seeing that right now, but I have a feeling becuase I don't have the driver updates. I'm not saying that I don't see guys towards the front at certain tracks that you would expect to.....like Johnson in Cali, Kahne at Texas, Kurt Busch at Bristol...but I see other idiots who have no reason to be there. If I see Jennifer Jo Cobb turn the fastest lap one more time...I'm sending someone an email about it. I would say wait until the driver updates hit, then go from there.
