I have the NASCAR The Game: Inside the Line
 

I'll be posting my impressions and answer questions periodically during the day.

Good deal when I get to a computer I will make this the official impressions thread.

Sweet! Lucky you!

Looking forward to some impressions, I've pre-ordered it, I feel like it will be much improved, but I'm a bit worried given last years edition. Love to hear how it plays compared to last year before I pay it off and pick it up next week.

That's great, but please account for the fact there is a significant day 1 patch on Tuesday in your impressions. Dave at EUTECHNYX has stated this.

I haven't experienced any of the freeze ups yet. I'm a very cautious racer but I was using the controller on the first game on the default modes and the default view. It was tough to handle the car but I'm used to driving with the wheel. The A.I. drivers drive like the real ones. I let Kyle Busch by me and a few laps later he put me in a pretty bad position so I lost a few positions. I got the Intimidator trophy because as soon as I got to Kyle's bumper he got some help into the turn 4 wall at Kentucky Speedway.

I believe overall even how it shipped the racing is a huge upgrade. I'm getting ready to set the wheel up, change over to the cockpit view and turn some laps. I'll see if I can get some videos for you guys.

My thoughts on Kyle Busch is that he is a great driver but Brad K explained it best at Bristol.

Ok back to the game. The one bug that needs to be fixed is the cars in front of me slow down super fast when a caution is brought out. I either spin out to avoid the car or I slam into the back of them. That happened at Bristol and Kentucky. I blew an engine pushing a car to much in the draft at Daytona. I was trying to see how good this worked and well it works. I'm just running short races

Have you seen any AI wrecks (not caused by the user)? How frequent are cautions happening?
