NASCAR The Game 2011 Exclusive Interview with Ed Martin

[mwjr]

I have a few questions, that maybe the OP can ask the devs.

1. Are there more then 23 tracks that you can race on, in non-career races. Such as, historic tracks no longer used by Sprint Cup, or used exclusively by the Nationwide serries, ex. Smoky Mountain Raceway, Old Dominion Speedway, Rockingham,Huntsville Speedway, Bowman-Gray Stadium, Toronto, Mexico City, ect. As well as perhaps a few fantasy tracks?

2. Will there be more then 43 drivers in the games database? For instance, will some drivers have to qualify on time, thus risking not qualifieing at all. It would get pretty boring with the same 43 every week.

3. How many seasons will career mode last?

4. Do some drivers retire, in career mode?If so, do they get replaced by rookies?

5. Do drivers have viewable -- real life, and in-season -- career stats?

6. Are there viewable driver ratings and atributes, so you can distinguish the great drivers from the not-so-great?

That's all I have for now.

Excellent questions.

At the risk of violating anti-stalking legislation, is there an ETA for part 2?

The piece is done guys, but I am trying to confirm a couple of items with Eutechnyx. Ed is in England right now, and hopefully we will have the last bits confirmed and the article up no later than tomorrow!

Sorry for the delay, but we are trying to answer as many questions as possible....and keep it accurate.

Looks good, can't wait for part II and the game itself.

I don't recall reading any multiplayer options. Will the field be better than the usual 8 in the xbox version? F1 2010 has 12 online at one time. Any chance that this game will take that number even further?

According to the site (http://www.NascarTheGame.com) they confirmed 16 human controlled drivers online. Still wondering if you can race with 43 cars in offline split screen multiplayer. You could only race with, if memory serves correctly, between 20-24 drivers at the max in splitscreen, on the EA versons of the game, which I never understood.

The reason that you have less cars is because all those cars have to be displayed on the same screen. If you had 43 car fields on a 4 player split screen I dont think the game would break 10 FPS.

Thanks, bluengold. Looking forward to part II.

Guys, I am very sorry for the small delay. I am getting some corrections made, and I am in the middle of moving from Denver to Milwaukee this weekend also. Thank you all for you your patience, and am hoping to have the article up by Tuesday.

Thanks

I loved Nascar Heat so I'm glad these guys have roots there. I used to spend hours every night racing online. Hope this controller works well with the game since it's all I have room for.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Exclusive Interview with Ed Martin

One question I have, is will they have the sponsors of drivers such as, Kurt Bush, and Kasey Kane, on their respective cars, or will it be some generic sponsor? The reason I ask is because both drivers are sponsored by a beer company (Bud Light, Miller Light). So would the game be able to include sponsors such as these in the game? I could care less about an E10 rating. But regardless, just a small minúte detail that I'm curious about.

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Exclusive Interview with Ed Martin

Yes, for the most part:

Danica Patrick in the game? SMH...

Oh well. This game does look promising.

My guess would be no since the game will in all likelihood have an "E" rating meaning for everyone and advertising of alcohol to minors is illegal. Having alcohol sponsors would fall under that umbrella.
