But, I'll give ya this - compared to project cars, and some of the other racers, I would agree, the cars and surroundings are not nearly as stunning...and I can understand some of the disappointment. As far as XB1 framerates, I have been playing nonstop and so far I haven't had any issues like slowdown or freeze-ups. I don't know why but I'm being honest here. But, from one gamer to another, I know you're not making it up either. So I guess sooner or later, I'll see the framerate issues you're talkin' about. Let's just hope the developers support the game and continue to make improvements. One thing is for sure, I love the actual racing so far, but there are definitely several areas that could use some work. I heard the online racing is horrific. Have you tried it yet?
I tried one room of online racing yesterday. It was at Martinsville, and there were 15 people competing. As soon as the green flag dropped, guys were running into each other, turning around and driving the wrong way, etc. It was ridiculous. I only tried that one time, and immediately went back to my season mode.
That being said, I have had some real fun in season mode. I've been running with the AI at +2%, and I've qualified for both races in mid pack. Ran 81 laps at Atlanta and loved every second of it. I also run at gas/tire wear at +3%, so in an 81 lap race I had to stop 3 times for fuel and came up one 1/4 lap short and ran out of gas. Was running 7th and coasted to a 12th place finish. I wasn't even mad. It was that good. And, there were 3 cautions during the race all caused by the AI. This game has SO much potential. Hopefully they will continue to support it going forward. I really have been waiting all generation of this console to get some NASCAR racing going, and I'd like for it to continue with solid support.
