I've never played Papyrus's PC game that everybody seems to rave about, and from what I understand, that's the best NASCAR game ever. I may play it someday, but my PC gaming days are pretty much behind me.

The only console I own is PS2 and I'm happy with it, but since EA owns exclusive NASCAR rights these days, I'm kinda limited to them.

So, my question is, what's the best NASCAR game you have ever played?

For me, NT2003 was probably as close to a sim as I've seen on the PS2. I didn't say it was a sim, but it was pretty close. NT2004 was really good too, especially since it was the first PS2 NASCAR game online. The grudges and alliances feature was added with NT2004 and it was tolerable.

I've never played Dirt to Daytona and most people didn't like it too much, but I've also read where maybe it was the most realistic, at least as far as setups go.

I guess I'd have to say that NT2004 was the best overall NASCAR game I've played. The handling was good and the online play was good, even though it was only pier to pier and there was alot of lag at times.

The worst NASCAR game you've ever played? I'd have to say NASCAR 2005, Chase for the Cup. They took the grudges feature WAY too far, and they pretty much ruined the handling of the Cup cars. They had a great idea, adding Busch, Truck and modified cars, but the overall game sucked bad, IMO.

Come on EA, get it right with 2006!!
