One thing that is annoying me so far is having to do the Hot Seat races. I wish I could turn them down, wait for ones at tracks I like, or just not do them until I have had a full season in the series I am in. Maybe I am missing where to do this, but I really dont want to do xfinity races until the end of the year.

I'm pretty sure I ready that you can't decline a Hot Seat race, and I agree that's annoying, as I'd prefer to have a little more control of my career.

Now that the patch has dropped on XB1, I'm planning on getting a career started soon.

The reason you can't skip the hot seat races is that's the only way you can move up to the higher division. If you satisfy their race requirement (finish top 22), they end up offering you a contract the next season.

Yes, been playing fine with a controller. Have had to turn stability assists on to stop from spinning out, but it still plays great

Re: Nascar Heat 2 Impressions.....
 

Yeah, I need the stability assist on any of the smaller tracks. Actually, on most of the tracks. Unfortunately, I need to go and tinker in setup to qualify in a decent spot. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation - because I can't qualify with stability off and then run the race with stability on.

My solution at present is to run longer races to give me time to work my way up from the poor qualifying position because with short races I inevitably just run out of laps. But I kinda am getting tired of always starting last and working my way into the mix. Too predictable (as opposed to the predictable that is me spinning out somewhere along the line if stability is off).

So, to mix analogies, I want my cake and want to eat it too. At my present skill level I need stability as a slider option rather than as a game mode, as it were.

And to the question "is this game fun?" Well, I rearranged my entire rec room and positioned my chair directly in front of the TV, and now the couches are along the sides and everyone else's view of the TV is compromised... because screw you family... I'm racing. :)
