Yeah, I'm a bit concerned about how much luck I'll have finding it at lunch. Leaving in a couple minutes, hope it's there.

Hope you can ask questions in this thread...would love some career impressions!

Please, please, I hope the career mode is fun and robust.

I was getting a little depressed seeing the comments on the NTG forums. Thanks for giving me some insight I know I can trust, Bob.

All I want is a game with the current rule set that doesn't have cars hitting the brakes on the dogleg at Charlotte...or forcing me to avoid cars going 20MPH slower than me at Texas for no apparent reason on the front stretch. Or cars diving into my quarterpanel because I take a more cautious line into a corner and don't drive it in like Kyle Busch every lap.

I can only do so much with NR2003 anymore, even with the Bullring mods and whatnot. I really, really want to like Inside Line. I hope I can have some fun getting my *** kicked on Champion without it feeling cheap and over-aggressive.

Ha, just went stupid on what woulda been my first win running a short race at 'Dega. Low on fuel, on the SECOND green/white/checkered I for some reason thought I was on the last lap already and started coasting way too soon with a large lead...then I make it back to the line to see that there is 1 lap left and everyone had caught up to me and was starting to pass. To make matters worse heading onto the back stretch, somehow I wound up in THE BIG ONE, and ran out of gas during the wreck. Finished 38th...damn. Having fun with this though!

Terry I am sure you remember how highly I thought of the driving model in last years game, well that has only gotten better. The biggest improvements though are the AI and damage model. While not perfect, they don't even compare to last year. I have not dug into season or careen mode yet, but have done a lot of race now races at different lengths.

The biggest thing I can suggest is to know this - a lot of tracks will require you to change the difficulty. On SS you are most likely going to have to race hard or champion difficulty. On 1.5 mile tracks some will be great at hard, and others might require you to drop down to normal just to be competitive. I am only racing with a controller right now, so this might change with a wheel hooked up.

I never qualify right now either, and I have won a couple of races that were longer, have had my *** handed to me at a couple of tracks, and placed in the middle at some others. The longest race I have done is 20% and have yet to lap a single AI car.

Absolutely you can ask questions in this thread(It ain't the Madden forum) I have yet to really dig into the season or career mode yet, so not the best person to answer - maybe someone else can take this one.

Back from lunch...I have Halo 4 so my son's going to be thrilled. But dad's a sad panda because their system showed a couple but they couldn't find them. They said they should have another copy today and will call me later.

Plenty of PS3 copies but I don't like the PS controller for racing; too twitchy on the sticks and my hands are too big lol.

Ah well.

Went to Target and the old guy there made a great effort to locate it, but I don't believe they got N:IL in at all there.

I think Activision has the presses going full bore for Black Ops II
