Is EA's NASCAR Sim Franchise In Trouble?

Re: Is EA's NASCAR Sim Franchise In Trouble?

Pretty much, sad that an exlclusive contract had to kill off any new titles for sim racing when EA now admits defeat. Luckily there's a nice community for NR2003 that build mods, updated paint schemes, etc

Yes, sir. Here are the tracks that I've been running lately!

I think it would be awsome if EA stopped making NASCAR games. I agree, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season was and still is the best NASCAR game ever made. They addressed not only the sim side of the game but the arcade side as well. Both were great racing engines. So, where is Sierra & Papyrus when we need them the most?

Its amazing what a community can do.

I play a motocross racing game that no longer gets support (MX vs ATV, 4 years old) but a small number of guys are now making a new, mod version from the original game.

too bad EA already drove Papyrus out of business.


Nascar racing: 2003 season is still the best Nascar sim there is.

Without a question NR2003 kicks the crap out of any EA game released since they got the exclusive licence. However I do love Nascar Thunder 2004.

yea, Thunder 2004 was the only EA nascar game I really enjoyed playing. it wasn't sim, but it was fun to play.

I think SimBin(guys that made Race Pro, GTR, etc..) would be a good dev team to make a Nascar game.

Yup and be prepared to way too much for it. While the game is good, and the mods do keep the game alive and kicking, I don't know if paying upwards of $80 or more is worth it.

but if you do sites,
masgrafx.com

revampedreloaded.com (updated tracks)
saferbarrierproject.com (another site for track updates)
superspeedway.net (a lot of mods, including the COT mod, need to register to download the mods, it's free)

It's really easy, in most case its just download the file and place it in the right folder.
Some of the mods like the COT mod and others, is just download the file, and hit install and it does all the work.

Also check out my arena, there's a few videos of NR 2003 in action as to what type of game your getting into, there's two version of a COT mod, (Earnhardt one is the SSnet. version, better version IMO), the Talladega one is just the game itself no mods, other than updated car skins.
