It will be cool if you could play online with 43 other people.

You say that now......................

It will be hard enough racing with 15 other humans because not everyone understands track etiquette, has a good connection, or the same talent level.

Good to hear they have been working on it for 18 months already. I'm glad they are not having the trucks and nationwide series to begin with. I would rather them have great handling cars and a career with some depth, then spend time trying to figure out how the truck should handle, etc. I can't wait for the second part of the interview to hear about the career mode. The career mode it going to be the game breaker for me. That's what I play in all my sports games.

Yeah, maybe they can work in the trucks and Nationwide next year. But so far, this is sounding excellent to me.

Nice, I just moved off the fence to the must buy side. To see the ties to Papyrus is good to see as that means they do know what real Nascar racing is.

I like how honest they are about their game. They openly admitted that it's not going to be as realistic as a computer based sim, and earned my respect as a result.

Loved the answer on presentation. "36 tracks with 36 different intros". At least it won't get old after two races!

Let's get part 2.

Soon......man, NASCAR fans are impatient! I am still having communication with Eutechnyx, so I am hoping to have it up and posted by Next Tuesday or Wednesday.

I was sold at the part where he said,

"I started with Papyrus in the early '90s, and ran the NASCAR franchise for Hasbro Sports (NASCAR Heat) and Electronic Arts (NASCAR series), so I have been around these games for a long time. "

Exxxxxxcelent! Not so much for the EA part but the fact he worked with Papy and on Heat.

I was a Papyrus tester right from the start with Indycar Racing 1 all the way to NR2003 so I have been around for awhile. Needless to say, EA screwed the pooch on Nascar chasing Papyrus out of Nascar just like they did 2K sports out of the NFL. I still play Nascar Racing 2003, but I remember a time where we had promises about EA's Nascar Sim Racing. Being away from EA is a good thing but I'm not holding out much hope of anything that will finally let me retire NR2003 from Papyrus. Good luck Ed! I'm pulling for you guys to pull this off because it has been a long dry spell since EA mucked things up.

Lucky you! Sounds like a great job!

NR2003 is the standard (gameplay-wise, not presentation, obviously) by which all Nascar games should be held to, IMO.

I tried the Sim Racing demo by EA, and it s*cked badly.

Just think where Papyrus would be with the Nascar series now had EA kept its nose out of it.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Exclusive Interview with Ed Martin

I love the potential that this game has. I like the idea of starting small and building. In the next few years .. please add nationwide, and then trucks. Keep the racing fun, and remember its the little things that us gamers enjoy. Good luck!

this. I agree. it would be cool if there was a career mode were you go through the different divisions in Nascar.
