NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

[ckgordon24]

Holy crap thanks for the Texas pics. That track looks spot on. Lets just hope it drives as good as it looks.

I am impressed with the detail of both cockpit views. Everything I'd nicely done in including debris and fluid hitting the windscreen

So the world didn't end then? The way things were going on the Eutechnyx forums last night, I wasn't sure we'd see another dawn!

Seriously Blue, thanks for keeping your head when all about are losing theirs. It always amazes me how one video can cause an absolute meltdown. Anyone remember that NCAA football 11 that leaked last year?

Great impressions guys, being in the UK I'll probably have to wait until next weekend before I get the game. Gonna be a long week.

I think it drives very well, and I race TMS(revamped-reloaded 2010 edition) all the time in NASCAR 2003. In this race I used a controller, and did not qualify....so I started 43rd.


I just did a 15 lap race, and I used middle of the road assist(since I was using a controller) and put the AI on the hardest level. I was able to creep into the top 20, with about 3 laps left, but ended up finishing 30th out of 43.

Race was fun as hell to do though!

Edit: When I say top 20, I mean like 24th, so I should have said top 25.

yeah, it was really rough over there yesterday. I tried not to say too much, because then it sounds like I am defending the game. I have a great relationship with the guy's from Sandbox(marketing group for the game) and I freaking love Ed martin(VP of Eutechnyx) but I am not on their payroll. If this game was crap...I would let people know.

It's all about opinion, and he has a different opinion of the game then I do...so be it. So instead of goin over there and calling that guy an idiot, I just decided to keep posting what my thoughts were. Anybody who has read this whole thread, knows that I have not painted a picture of a perfect game...it has some issues. It also is very well done, and is a blast to race most of the time.

Everyone will see Tuesday, as I am sure that we will have people that just love the hell out of the game, and some people will not......it's truly that simple.

I use that track in nr2003 too. This track will be my first track to go to in the game. I hope the ai issue is fixed in the day one patch. After that we ready to go racing...ps if anyone wants to race my psn is ckgordon24

I read on dave's twitter that online you can only use the driver you use in career mode plzzzzzzzzz tell me thats not true

[Air_Logan24]

couple more questions:
1. When you enter an online lobby can you change your driver/scheme right away or do you have to completely leave to.
2. Same thing as #1 but replace drivers with setups.
3. Do the cars tend to bounce around like in real life?
4. Can you notice bumps at the race tracks?
5. Can you please post using the photo mode some of the secondary schemes.

BIG THANKS!!! Hurry up and get here tuesday!
