Online is broken right now and they are fixing it, but the single player is great.

As for this game I have to wonder who tested it. If you happen to go into the pits even if it's by accident like crashing they black flag you for speeding in the pits. And caution flags? Half of the time they never fly even during a bad crash.

The people who made the game don't seem to know much about basic NASCAR rules. I thought the EA Nascar games stunk, this one is far worse then that. Try playing online. And once again they won't let you drive into the pits with no help from the AI. I hate that. Pitting is a big part of NASCAR. All they do is let you pick what you want to do . Gas tires etc. You also can't fix any damage and when you crash it doesn't appear to effect the car. I crashed hard and they give you the option of a pit stop. I didn't pit and the next thing I knew I was back in the race with a great race car again.

The game is one of the worst NASCAR games ever put out.

Totally agree. Accidents are so unrealistic. You can go airborne and flip and come back up with not so much as a flat tire. Just a little sheet metal damage and maybe a missing hood. Also there can be a ten car pileup but once you come back from a caution all 10 of those car are still on the lead lap. What the hell is up with that? I also hate the way they do cautions. In the old PC games you actually ran caution laps, I know it isn't that exciting but doing that involves more strategy. Also qualifying is way too easy. I’ve raced at about 10 different tracks so far, and sat on the pole at each race. And no, it's not because I'm good since most of the time I wind up going up too high and hitting the wall.

And what the hell is up with the cars? Bill Elliot in the #21, Trevor Bayne in the #16a? Really sucks the still don’t put alcohol sponsors on the cars, but I guess boner pills are alright as I see the Extenze car is there. This game really wasn’t worth $60, but it will keep me occupied for a while. The only really cool thing is the drafting. I have to give props to them for that.

Just saw they came out with a Patch the other day...

Sweet! I need to get back on.
