Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

My impressions so far (PS3):

+ Good physics and driving feels like NR2003
+ Great HUD
+ Pretty Good AI (playing on hard with traction control assist and anti-lock at 1, it isn't a walk in the park for me even though i am a veteran of NR2003)
+ Pit stops and yellow flags are fine so far for me.I'm sure i'll encounter some bugs later.No worries for me.I'm having fun with a Nascar game after 8+ years.If i want hardcore racing there are still iRacing and NR2003.Let me clear some things.NR2003 retail unmodded had worse AI on track than NTG2011.After the mods the AI was nearly perfect.That's why i always support pc gaming.If NTG2011 had a pc release the modders would make the game better.

- Limited career and modes
- Some unexpected AI slowdowns maybe because the code "wants" AI to avoid big crashes.
- Unequal damage between AI and User.I think it's devs decision.Not a big deal.It's patchable.

* Didn't try online aspect.I am an offline user-gamer.
