NASCAR The Game: Inside Line Patch Expected Later This Month, Details Included

Re: NASCAR The Game: Inside Line Patch Expected Later This Month, Details Included

I like the game to a point. I say this with all due respect to the people who made it. I can't program so who am I to say what can and can't be done. I do give leeway being only the second release in the Nascar foray. Saying that, here are the issues I have.

Both in this years and last years, green flag pit stops are a guaranteed yellow flag. It seems like something that would have been found in testing. I feel they work too much on the graphics of the garage and extra game styles instead of focusing on the racing part of the game. I would be more than happy to have a so-so main menu and have the racing top-knotch. Not saying that the racing is over all badly done. They did a hell of a job with the graphics on the actually racing. Very realistic.

Along the lines of the green pit stop yellows are the wrecks you are involved in. They cut way too short. If I am spinning in the infield, should have a chance to save it from either hitting the wall or sliding up the track. The wrecks need to finish themselves before the cut to caution. Not saying that so I can see more carnage, I am saying that because there is a chance of other cars getting involved or being able to dodge the wreck as it is happening. Give the option to go to yellow if players choose to, but leave the wreck go until the last car stops spinning, flipping, etc.

Here is a wish list: give each driver ratings that you can see being implemented during the race. For example, Kurt Busch. I want to see him drive like a crazy by cutting people off, getting them loose in a turn, etc. Have some drivers blow engines more than others due to their driving style. Another example is Harry Gant form back in the day. The guy was a whiz at fuel economy. Have ratings for pit crew. Say one tire changer is faster than another. A Crew chief may make a drivers engine give more hp, but handling might go down. Have crew chiefs able to suggest changes during the race. It might not always be the correct change and make the chances of having bad/good changes dependent on a rating. Make it like other sport games that have Franchise mode. Let you be the owner of the team. Hire and fire who you want. Hire a driver if you don't want to drive. I play the Franchise mode in every sport game I play. I love having to hire/fire within a budget and having other teams get better or worse year to year. Just like real life, the more you win, the more you can spend. This would also have drivers, pit crewman changing teams. Wow, kind of went off on a rant. Sorry. Do not mean any of this in a negative light. Just stating my issues and "dreams" (for lack of a better word). Wish all well. Looking forward to the patch.

I agree with you on some things, but green flag stops don't mean cautions are gonna come out. It seems like it, but I have had several races go caution free. I don't think the cautions cut off to soon either, well once in a while, but usually if it is a big wreck it plays through.

One thing I wish they would do is stop worrying about all the extra crap in games, not just this game but other games as well. I'm talking about like replaying past races and unlocking tokens that do nothing for you. Maybe if they would do things like that then they could do the things you suggest, which I agree with, that would be awesome, but they spend to much time on the other crap.I know some people like it and they play through it, but imagine what the game could be if they didn't worry about that stuff.

Like Madden moments in Madden, which I don't even know if they have anymore, but if you did away with that and used that time towards franchise mode, or online play, or team builder, which 99% of the people buy it for anyways, imagine the kind of game that could be.

I agree the green pit stops don't mean yellow. just happened in the last 3 races to me. Guess I didn't "get over it" before I posted. haha. Your point of getting rid of the extras is what I was getting at. Have the other modes as dlc. I also agree it's not just this game. Every sports game has to add some "new" special mode that is just ok at best. Seems companies making sports games feel every year they have to add something "new and innovative" (ie. catching mode in The Show). I agree each release should be better than the last, but make the gameplay better. Add something to the Franchise mode. And for the love of Jebus, please omit anything that has to do with Kinect. Not in this game, but it is just a gimmicky thing like the Wii. Fun for somethings, but very few things.

Cheers.

another quick note:

We don't need a new game every year. Take 2 years to complete on hell of a game instead of a good game that feels like just updated rosters. This too is for all sports games. I would be willing to pay $5-$10 bucks each year for updated rosters, but $60 bucks for what is pretty much the same game is getting really old.

That why they are not releasing a game next year and I am a huge fan also of that approach. Happily pay for the DLC they are going to drop before next season.

Well, don't leave us hanging. What's this "DLC" you speak of?

Probably the update to the new 2013 cars, you know, because they're kind of a big deal :wink:.

I don't know all the details yet, but would assume it will include an update to the models and schemes for next year.

According to Dave, it should be within the first two weeks of January, and the PS3 and 360 should be getting it about the same time.

That's great news. I love this game and with the patch I should love it.

[klooster]

you know why are we still haveing the problem its the same problems year after year and they cant figure it out maybe its time we started looking at other options for makeing this game as they cant figure it out. i use to be relax about the issue but this is just starting to get very sad because its not this hard the simple fact is focus on the game not being cheap are hypeing it up more then it should like they do. get your head in the game and quit wasting my time and money
