NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

I love when people sign up to be a member the day a game comes out. Then have the nerve to bash the game and bash members of this site. People have nothing else better to do with their time.

Sad, just sad!

Anyway, back to the impressions.

I'm thinking about picking this up tomorrow when I get off works. It seems people are against the 360 version versus the ps3 version. Have they talked about a demo for this? It would help with some people that are on the fence with it.

Bro...i had heard rumors about a demo, but with the issues going on right now, I can't see them spending time on a demo, as opposed to trying to fix some of these issues. As far as which version, if you head over to the official site, there are 2-3 threads about people with the PS3 version really enjoying it, versus basically none for the 360 version.

This is no inside info DJ, just merely my thought.

Bro....I will bust open the 360 version tommorow and hit the thread back up with some impressions of the differences(if any) on both systems.

Yep, I was all excited when Fed Ex came today with the 360 version, and then I started reading all of the issues, and just played TWoods 12 all day long. It's sitting on my desk in front of me as I type, unopened.

I think everyone knows about the 2011 points, schedule, and paint schemes coming at a later date with a patch. Its still unacceptable to call the game NASCAR 2011 and not have the 2011 points and schedule at the least. I can see why the developers would call it 2011 though it has no 2011 setups. Heck, I havent gotten past their 1 season career mode being called career mode. Its pretty bad when EA put out a better product 3 years ago, and NASCAR 09 wasnt that great either. This game is pretty bad overall.

the worst are
1 ai slowing in turns and bunching
2 no caution when they need to be
3 ai rubber banding even in long race whole field staying within 10-15 sec.
4 ai crash while pitting under yellow
5 ai no dammage while my car is killed in crashes
6 loose 20 spots with green flag stop even after all has stoped
7 to easy to get pole on any level and all levels still to easy
8 caution lights stay on all the time
9 floating spoilers on frount of car hood

This is one thing I noticed as well. Was running a race at Vegas and hit some guy at the right angle to make him spin out. he ended up more than half a lap behind the field, but was caught back up to me within 5 laps.

See block-O I can respect that bro. I understand you had bigger hopes for this game, and I get that. it really is all about perspective and expectations. I don't mean this in a way that you have to verify your feelings with me, to make sure it's OK. I mean it in the way of understanding how some people love this game, some people like this game, and some people downright hate this game.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

i dont know about you guys but i think iam turn the spotter off. it sounds like its pre programmed and doesnt really tell you whats going on in real time. there was a time in an online race at daytona where i was by myself for the last 4 laps and every 10 seconds i heard "your clear" "clear" it got really annoying there was no one with in 15 seconds around me. and the "the hendrick boys are going to want pizza" is getting annoying also.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

I really think what you have here is a case of company with huge aspirations, and only 18 months to develop a true NASCAR video game from scratch. If you look at the career mode, it's like the infrastructure is there, but it wasn't fleshed out. The same thing goes for the on-line portion...infrastructure there, not fleshed out.

They did a lot of things right in this game, but another 6 months of development title, this would have been a AAA title. I love the game for what it is, but upset at the online options, as we had a huge league planned.

Excellent post. People need to remember that this is Eutechnyx's first foray into NASCAR and you can't expect the first attempt to be perfect. Judging by what you've posted of you interactions with the development team, the seem like they are committed to making a great game, but they need time to work out all the kinks. Sure the game has flaws, but we need to report those flaws in a mature manner so that the devs will want to continue interacting with and looking to the community for support. Overly negative posts will only serve to alienate the developers from the community and won't help them patch the flaws in this game and make future versions of the game even better.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Dont get me wrong i have iracing and i knew this game wasnt going to be anything like it at all i got this game to have some fun and to get away sometimes from the seriousness of iracing but this games online mode so far is broken and i really hope they can fix it cause this game can be really really good i just dont want them to not try to fix it at all and then the gaming world will just get all negitive things about this game and who knows there might not be a nascar the game 2012.
