Customer Reviews

You'll be sorry
Uninstalled this peice of garbage today. This game definately does not live up to the hype. Is it better than Thunder 04? maybe. Is it a realistic Nascar sim? NO. If your looking for a Sim Nascar Game buy anything made by Papyrus Racing Games. From Nascar 4 to Nascar 2003. They are not perfect but they are way closer than this. I really had my hopes up that EA would get it right this time but once again they fell way short. EA has exclusive rights to Nascar Sims now and since there is no competition they don't have to worry about making anything better. I've been racing online for 4 years and playing racing games for several years before that. If your looking for a new racing game even if it's not a Nascar game for the PC look elsewhere GTR and R Factor come to mind as games that show way more promise than this one.

We need Papyrus Back - EA Missed the Boat
Ridiculously buggy even after the patch. If there is a yellow flag, chances are you will be blackflagged and taken out of the race. Trying to bring in the elements of sponsorship and working your way through the different divisions was a great concept, too bad what should be the easiest part to program (the NASCAR rules themselves) turn this game into an unplayable mess.

I guess we're left with an aging Papyrus Nascar Racing 2003 as the only decent NASCAR sim.

Joke of a game
This is an absolute joke of a game. If a car spins and you pass them to proceed to the yellow, you are disqualified for passing a car after the yellow comes out. If you stop behind the car that spun, you are disqualified for going too slow under caution. In other words, if any car spins in front of you, you are disqualified. This is true even with the 1.0.2.5 patch. This game is proof that EA cares about nothing but the bottom line. It is not playable.
