You would probably know better than anyone what stops them from releasing them Monday after the 500. I assume they have no issues adding the driver and paint scheme. So is the hold up on MS and Sonys approval end?

Re: NASCAR '14 Available Now - Post Your Impressions
My assumption is that they already have the paint schemes and rosters done(or very close) since the field is set. I can try on Monday and see if I can get a lock down answer, as the worst they can tell me is the do not have one yet.Twitch - bluengold34_osComment

Re: NASCAR '14 Available Now - Post Your Impressions
So, today I'm running a race at Dover... 40 laps. Caution comes out on lap 10. I took out Kenseth on a pretty dirty (of me) bump and run. So, the usual cut scenes come up for the caution, then it goes back to restart the race and... no sound. Nothing at all but faint sounds, a voice repeating a half broken line through the trackside speakers, some crowd noise, and the noise of cars hitting each other or the wall. No engine sounds whatsoever.

Re: NASCAR '14 Available Now - Post Your Impressions
Did a 100% race at Daytona with 1x Fuel/tires and 50% AI. Couple small things.
1. I don't really like the fact the fuel indicator is just a bar this year rather than an actual number of project laps as it makes it more difficult to tell when you absolutely have to pit. Also, the bar doesn't seem to go down at a consistent rate.
2. This is just a minor detail, but in the display where it shows who is leading and your position plus the driver in front and behind, it only shows the driver's last name and not the number or 1st initial. This would be fine if it weren't for the fact that there are 2 Busch's as you can not tell which Busch is in that position without actually seeing them. Don't know if it would be possible to patch it so the Busch brothers are indicated as Ku. Busch and Ky. Busch so they can be distinguished.Steelers : IX, X, XIII, XIV, XL, XLIII

Can you do Career Mode with real drivers, or do you have to create a car? I just want to race as real drivers outside of exhibition mode.Comment

1. The fuel indicator I think works fine. I like the way it is now. In real life they don't have nothing for the drivers to see. Your spotter will tell you what lap to pit so there's no problem there. Also the reason you think it doesn't go down at a consistent rate is because you were at Daytona and drafting. If you are alone it will drop faster then if you are drafting with another car.
2. Your right, that is a minor detail. Does it really matter which Busch brother is behind you or in front of you.Comment

Re: NASCAR '14 Available Now - Post Your Impressions
The more I play, the more frustrated I get with the AI. Martinsville... what a complete disaster. The pack runs 3 or 4 wide the entire race. The AI just drives right through you, and each other as if they even have no idea you're on the race track with them. What a complete mess. It's taken me forever to get to lap 20 of 50 because of all the cautions.
I was a fan of the new restart system, until I hit Martinsville. They start you in first gear, good luck getting to 4th without the entire field just literally driving right through you.
Then... just wait until they start trying to pit.

Re: NASCAR '14 Available Now - Post Your Impressions
Racing at Texas... ticker on the screen says im running 11th. I cross the line it says I finished 5th. Post race results have me in 8th.
What a joke. As I said earlier, I really loved this game at first (and really want to love it), but the more I play it, the more ridiculous it gets.Miami Dolphins - Detroit Red Wings - Toronto Blue Jays - Michigan Wolverines - CANADAComment

That's what I'm afraid of, the more I play the worst it gets.Comment

Re: NASCAR '14 Available Now - Post Your Impressions
Im thinking too it may be time for me to turn off fuel use and tire wear all together. It seems to be the pitting sequences that's really screwing everything up.
For example, in that texas race. 33 laps in total. I, and basically the entire field had to pit around laps 11-12. Somehow though Aric Almirola ran all the way through to lap 21 before making his first pit stop.
I can't for the life of me understand how this kind of stuff can happen, and the game gets released with all these issues.
I'd be shocked if these guys make a game again next year.
Its a shame really, because the guts of it are pretty good to build on.Miami Dolphins - Detroit Red Wings - Toronto Blue Jays - Michigan Wolverines - CANADAComment
