Yeah, I hope she decides to pick one series, and stays there. I do not hate her, but just pick a series already, and tune your craft. Stop treating each series like you own it, and can just split time when it's convenient for you.

It will be very interesting when she gets back in a cup car at the Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve Road Course , my opinion is it might go really good or horribly bad ....i think that course by the way would be a fun buy a track with xbox live later on what you think ?

This isn't a really big deal, but on a video that was posted over on the NTG forums, it appeared you have to select your career mode driver right at the start of the game. Can you change it later on if you wish?

No unless you restart your career.

Hey Blue.

We've seen that the AI takes different lines, but do they ever run right up against the wall? Off the top of my head Montoya and Earnhardt Jr are common practitioners of this

I see AI up against the wall all the time. They really take advantage of the highline, but it's not overdone. I also wouldn't say that its only the usual suspects like a Dale Jr., but in general, they do a very good job of using the outside, tucked against the wall, if it will benfit them.

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.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

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

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

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!

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

I ordered the game from amazon with same day delivery. First time doing this, can any one tell me if the games usually come in the morning or at night. I know it depends on your location, but... are they usually shipped UPS or postal?

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Wow, they did Texas right there. TMS is a great place to catch a race, and Eutechnix seems to have the track down right.

I can almost see my PSL's from the first pic. They look great!

I am a driver for UPS and we ship all amazon orders. Most likely you will get the game towards the evening because we deliver our business stops first and then do our residential stops after that. I hope this answers your question.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

I started new career with AI on Very Hard and my driver assist on pro one passed legend.
I started of Qualifying 11th at Daytona JJ won the pole it was a fun race i got the lead with 6 to go lead for 1 lap and then the train rolled by me. This is first time in Racing on console game where i took the lead and ran good line as was caught thats a good thing. I finished 6th never could get back to the front couldnt get in the draft of first five when they went by me.
2 nd race was at Cali i won the pole and lead ever lap won the race by 1.9 seconds. I run a very good line here never was much of a race.
3rd race was Vegas Qualified 9th finished 4th JJ won the pole i never led here couldnt get by JJ never left the top 10 here.
4th race was Hotlanta and i qualified 3rd Jeff Burton won the pole here. I was on rails here i was running laps in mid 30s and just smoked the field.
I havent made any adjustments to my car as of yet i really think once the patch comes out the SP on this game will be untouchable by any console game.
Blue thanks the cross hairs have saved me this time around havent had a crash as of yet. I am enjoying the game more and more i really hope the patches even tweak it a lil more to make it great for SP.
Also someone ask earlier if you got money for better upgrades from sponsors no you dont. I have 2 sponsors right now that give me plus 5 nxp for certain things each race. Other 2 sponsors want be unlocked unitl i mak the chase.
