NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Man this day keeps getting worse and worse. I call both walmarts close to me and both HAVE recieved the 360 games of nascar 11 but not ps3 and its not on there list. I freakiing went off saying wtf guys its to be released TOMORROW for PS3 and 360. Im so tired of Sony never shipping games like microsoft will. Its always like 25 360 games and 5 or 6 ps3. Then I read in here you guys saying the game DOESNT keep track of the amount of championships we win? WTF? Well now whats the point of career mode then? I really hope you guys are wrong on that otherwise thats the game killer for me and I was sooo excited still. Nascar 09 at least kept the stats of the # of the championships we won for all series. If this game doesnt keep track then thats a stupid move by those devolopers. I find it hard to believe that a sport lgame of Nascar which is all about winning championships does not keep how many championships we win in the CAREER STATS. It better have it or I will not buy it. Whats the point of career mode then LOL

Look man.. No need to be nasty... What has been said so far is exactly how the game will be.. The career mode isn't much at all... This is the third time you came in here acting crappy... If you don't like something about the game, You don't have to fly off the handle.. There is a simple solution.. DON'T BUY IT!! Also if you are worried about getting a game on time then order online and pay a few dollars to get it shipped on release day.. I really don't see what the problem is... If you have gripes, Please discuss why you don't like it in a civil manner.

This is a first year title that from the info on here races pretty good... I listened to a Developer interview and the future is very bright.. There is NO BS by "Ed".. He is straight up... I'm pretty pumped about this series frankly...

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

This might have already been asked, but in a different way..

QUESTION: When you race online, can you make it so everyone in your race will be using the same setup? So basically a fixed setup for the race?

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

blue,seasprite,senor,thanks for all you guys been doing answering questions and all,one question,after playing the game for a few days now,do you still find it fun to play?

Sorry I haven't been answering questions but I had to step out and will have to do so again now. I will be back in a couple of hours and will address any questions people have asked even though Blue is doing a great job doing so.

In regards to the fun factor, it is definitely still there. The game looks to have a lot of things going for it. It definitely needs a patch though to address lots of key issues. Once I play it with the patch, I will definitely re-evaluate. For now I have been just testing the feel of the car out at different tracks and seeing how the AI races you.


Be back in a couple of hours.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Im just sitting here in shock, my wife is shaking her head to. MAN what a huge mistake on there part. Ok let me calm down, ok well does it at least keep championship TROPHIES in the garage on display? I mean its freaking gotta keep track of our championships some way right? God what a let down how could a NASCAR game this GREAT leave out how many championships we win in stats on record OUT OF THE GAME STATS. Someone please wake me up from this nightmare its like its a 36 race season of nothing more than a career DEMO game. Im a guy that could could be hit by a car and get up laughing but hearing this news on this game makes me want to scream rage and then cry like a baby lol. Man Im upset over that. Well have fun guys this is a great blog keep it going strong but Im one Nascar huge fan not buying the game now. I gotta have stats on my championships. Thats all I care about in nascar games in career mode. I win every race 24/7 no need to keep track of those I love my long EARNED championships all pretty looking at me in the stats. Take care everyone!

Blue, have you played Ferrari Challenge on PS3? If so, are the create a car features similar to those on FC? Also, as far as difficulty, I definitely think it will be fine after the patch, if FC is anything to go by

Edit: I apologize if you answered this already. I'm only a little over halfway reading thru this thread, LOL.

Edit 2: I believe you have a Driving Force GT wheel? If so, and I know this may be a long shot, but do the settings dials work for this game?

This game is published by Activision. They send out the games... Sony or MS have no real control over the shipped quantities.

Heres another question.
Is it hard to set the settings? I am not really fimilar with car settings. Now I read you said about the diffculty settings, is that hard to set as well?

Could you post some pics of Charlotte and Daytona please?

I cant wait to get my copy next week. I pre-ordered it a week or two a go.. Getting really excited.
Thanks in advance.

I know that but tell me who wants to pay 60 bucks for a DEMO?

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Maybe you could keep track of you championships on your own? or just keep all the stats you want on your own? then you wont be dissapointed

Is this guy like 12 years old or something?

I raced countless seasons in NR2003, and that was nothing more than a single season.

If the racing's good, then it doesn't bother me. I can see where you're coming from as far as a "career mode", though. They probably should have called it something else...like "Season(s) Mode". It would confuse less people that way.

I was going to write the exact same thing. I think I will do this in a notebook just so I can track who wins at what racetrack from year to year and how people finish each year. I like to keep track and then look back at it.

This is really a better way then having the game do it for you because you can keep track of exactly what you want to.

ps. Why did you spell cardinals wrong in your username?

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Please tell me it has the Miss Sprint Cup girls smiling after I win a race. If not I am sending this game back. I mean how do they not include Monica Palumbo? That is not realistic at all. This my friends is a game breaker!

They better patch them in!

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

In all fairness to the devs, they made it clear from the beginning that career mode would be pretty basic the first time out, i.e., race a season for points, lather, rinse, repeat.

Their reasoning was they wanted to ensure they nailed the action on the track first. Once they got that down reasonably well, they could use future iterations to develop a more robust career mode.

I’m ok with that for now. If they had to make choices like this their first time out, I’d rather it be this choice than a robust career mode, but where the action on the tracks stinks.
