Re: NASCAR '14 Available Now - Post Your Impressions

Did a 100% race at Daytona with 1x Fuel/tires and 50% AI. Couple small things.

1. I don't really like the fact the fuel indicator is just a bar this year rather than an actual number of project laps as it makes it more difficult to tell when you absolutely have to pit. Also, the bar doesn't seem to go down at a consistent rate.

2. This is just a minor detail, but in the display where it shows who is leading and your position plus the driver in front and behind, it only shows the driver's last name and not the number or 1st initial. This would be fine if it weren't for the fact that there are 2 Busch's as you can not tell which Busch is in that position without actually seeing them. Don't know if it would be possible to patch it so the Busch brothers are indicated as Ku. Busch and Ky. Busch so they can be distinguished.

Can you do Career Mode with real drivers, or do you have to create a car? I just want to race as real drivers outside of exhibition mode.

You can't do a career, but you can at least go to single player and choose to run a full season.

1. The fuel indicator I think works fine. I like the way it is now. In real life they don't have nothing for the drivers to see. Your spotter will tell you what lap to pit so there's no problem there. Also the reason you think it doesn't go down at a consistent rate is because you were at Daytona and drafting. If you are alone it will drop faster then if you are drafting with another car.

2. Your right, that is a minor detail. Does it really matter which Busch brother is behind you or in front of you.
