As comfirmed by Jon Robinson, over at ESPN Video Games.

Quote:


	"Sources inside EA Sports have confirmed that NASCAR Kart Racing for the Wii is the only NASCAR video game they will be releasing calendar year 2009. That means no NASCAR 10 for the 360 or PlayStation 3. And with EA's NASCAR license expiring after this year, it looks like the state of NASCAR gaming could be in for a major change. When asked for an official quote, an EA Sports spokesperson confirmed the rumors, but would only go on record to say: "We are continuing our conversations with NASCAR, but nothing has been announced regarding the license or future projects and we don't have any further announcements at this time."

That's a shame. They had a great game to build on in 09.

Oh well. Maybe 2K/VC can take a stab at in 2010.

Maybe IRacing can get a license and release a good sim. They are the guys that made all the good Nascar sims by Papyrus. IRacing is good but I hate all the money you have to spend to race online.

they haven't really improved this game much the last few years. You always hear some people say why buy Madden 09 when its just Madden 08 with updated rosters, well thats really what the Nascar games have been. Theres really no need to buy a new Nascar game each year, they should take the extra time to really sit down and get this game right and worth buying once again.

While there are improvements I would like to see in NASCAR 10 I cannot say I am totally disappointed with this news. NASCAR 09 is still a good game. With no 10 in sight people will continue to play 09 so this will actually extend the life of the existing game. It means I can keep enjoying it and don't have to worry about dropping more money this year just to stay a part of the communicty. Maybe this will start a trend and all sports titles will go to a two year dev cycle.

I was looking forward to seeing what they could improve on in 10.

I thought 9 was a solid game that had potential of next year (10) being a great console racer.

well this is good news in that maybe a new company can try to make a nascar game and hopefully do it better than EA. it sucks a new nascar game wont be out but atleast they offer some updated rosters/drivers.

Great decision, title needs to get to a annual release around February instead of mid-summer (not to mention correct date on title). EA just needs to release a driver / paint scheme DLC soon.
