A fair assessment, good review Terry.

I am happy that a true sim racing fan is reviewing the game and not someone who is not a a racing fan. Great review.
I have the same problem at the plate tracks with the AI being too easy, I wonder if we put the Adaptive AI to "ON" just on the plate tracks if we will have a more competitive race? When I get to Dega in my Season I will give it a shot.

Great review...points out the pros and cons in a very detailed manner. It's just fun to drive, and that counts for a lot!

Thank God for the capsule pros and cons at the end of that review.
Phew!
LOL
This is EA's best NASCAR effort to date IMO.
That said, I suck at the game.

Re: NASCAR 09 Review

The game is very good, reminds me of NASCAR Heat form the PC and the consoles.

My one complaint is some of the "challenges" in the game are not thought out as properly as they were in Heat.

Heat came up with some more historical challenges.

Great job on a detailed review Terry! I think it's great that you are reviewing the driving games on OS, because I don't think anyone is even close to bringing your knowledge and expertise to the driving "experience".

N09 wasn't even really on my radar because of EA's previous efforts, but I might give it a shot now, at least a rental.

Re: NASCAR 09 Review

This review is the one to look at, not IGN's being covered by someone who doesnt even like Nascar.

I gave the N09 a 7 but I'd actually bump it up to an 8 for the paint booth feature, I'm addicted to it.

Wonderful review Terry...definitely the most knowledgeable racing fan reviewing games on the 'net today

Now that was a reveiw! Great job.

Does anyone know of these so called "glitch" set ups? It pisses me off playing online because someone will have it and no matter how you set the car up they will get you by up to 1.5 sec. per lap. Oh well...we should expose it so we can all be competitive. Great review though.

i just wish they would have put in the R&D, Car Building, and Team Hiring And Firing that they had in NASCAR Thunder 2004. But it is the best NASCAR game since 2004 so im happy . . . for now lol. oh and at 'Dega i just won the race by 6 and a half seconds leading all the laps and i was even off the gas entering the trioval for the final time.

Re: NASCAR 09 Review

It is very likely that this was my last year buying an EA made NASCAR game. This experience was fun but yet draining.

So many things that can go so right with this game, go completely neglected year-after-year. Their support and forums are a flat out joke.
