Best NASCAR game you ever played?
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!!

NT 2004 IMO could have been much better and actually the 2005 version if they would have just added the Trucks and the Featherlites. Just like ATV 2 was a great game and could have been the ATV3 upgrade with mic support and online mini games. For some reason some game producers seem to think a bunch of wasted bells and whistles and grudge scenarios is what gamers want, IMO a game is great if it's based on reality as close as it can be, has good easy to use features and brings gamers closer with a bunch of fun by providin an online feature with kick butt online servers. Personally, I just don't see from their track record EA gettin the picture on its next NASCAR game, they've lost me my friend. |

You might be right FATT, but I'll defintely have to see for myself with the 2006 version. Alot will depend on how this NASCAR Sim goes for the PC. It will be intersting to read about that game and see what they've done there. If people are complaining about it, maybe the 2006 PS2 version will be worth passing up.
I'm definitely skepitcal about EA now. I used to have alot of confidence in them, but after they ruined NASCAR '05 and with all this exclusive rights stuff that's happening with other sports games, it kinda sheds a bad light on what once was a pretty good thing, IMO.

I've lost a bunch of confidence in EA, so much so I just doubt I'll go for anything they put out without a lengthy wait after it's out to see what the actual opinions are on the game. They're so stupid, they seem to have a problem lately not gettin the games right when all they'd have to do is ask us! Now wouldn't that be simple, we know exactly what we want! |
