NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

[QuickSticks]

How are the setups? Are they like 09, really involved or pretty basic?

thank you for answering my questions i appreciate it alot. lastly, you said damage during the big one doesnt show up until after the race resumes. what if you are racing with cautions off. does damage still show up?

And can you put car manufacturers on your car in paint shop? like make a chevy, ford, etc.

Thanks for your responses Blue. I already had it pre-ordered, but your comments are making me impatient, lol. I'm thankful Eutechnyx has taken over the series -- it appears much better than previous efforts in the console genre.

If it is ok with Blue, I will piggyback on his thread with my 360 version impressions and Q&A as soon as I get home from work this afternoon. Had a friend in retail hook me up so as soon as I get some play time with it I will help out with the info for the game.

Great information, thanks for all your hard work. I will be buying 2 copies one for me for the ps3 and one for a friend for the xbox 360, great to support the game. Up until now the best nascar game I ever played was From Dirt To Daytona.
Tuesday can't come fast enough.

They are close to 09. You can choose a basic set-up like looser/tighter faster/slower...or you can get into the dirt of it, and change just about anything you want on a car.

If you race with cautions off, then the damage is real time...but that doesn't fix the particles and debris issue.

I have not checked that yet, I will do so this morning and get back to you on that.

It really is, and Im not here to knock other developers. It's that this effort, is a very good one. IMO, it is simply the best NASCAR game ever to hit a console in regards to the AI, driving model, and overall feel. Other titles were deeper than this, but this is only year one.

Thanks Sea...I'm sure people would like a different perspective than just mine. It's always nice to have 2 different views, as there may be stuff you hate, that I like. The forums need that very much......so thank you.

I loved DTD as much as the next guy, and as the years go by, hopefully NTG will become as deep as that one, in terms climbing your way up through the ranks.
