In one pile up, a car went flying upsides down into the fences. It would have been nice to have a highlight reel after the races to see all the crashes. In the replays you could see cars piling up and some even launching into the air. If you could bump someone and they lost control it could be spectacular. The only real saving grace to this game is the crash mechanics. It just doesn’t make sense how lopsided the mechanics are. After the caution I got Lucky Dog’ed and was able to skip the extra lap and placed somewhere in the twenties.Īfter about nine races I finally saved up enough points to buy a new engine. I slammed first place and he crashed, causing the yellow flag. I slammed on my brakes and waited for the pack to try and lap me. And then I decided to out think the game. After that I was a lap down and it seemed hopeless. A second later they sped up and slammed into me and crashed me. When I actually caught up to him, he slammed on his brakes. In another race I wasted seven laps trying to catch spot 42. After the yellow flag, they called me a Lucky Dog with the opportunity to catch up after the green flag was dropped. In one race I fought for spot 42 and we crashed.

It would have helped if I were trailing so bad and then the group caused a yellow allowing me to catch up. In fact there was never a time when the game went to a yellow flag without me. Some races finished with at least five yellow flags all caused by me. If I could get ahead of a few people and cause them to crash, I could trigger the yellow flag and then move up a few more positions.

In the short tracks I learned to take advantage of crashing into drivers on the hard curves. In the races where the tracks were huge it took only a few seconds to drop to dead last. For me, despite recovering and driving away I was dropped to dead last. Afterwards you have a chance to pit, and then you get to see your position before the race resumes. When the yellow flag is dropped the game goes to a cut scene to show the highlighted crash. The game however pulled a yellow cautionary flag. I lost control and almost wiped out, but I was able to turn into the spin, thanks to PIXAR’s Cars, and recovered and only lost a few places. In one race, after again starting near the back, I clawed my way up to seventh before I was slammed into from behind. I understand that this game adds a certain level of difficulty to make the game challenging, but there were so many times the game took cheap shots. It took nearly seven races before I placed in the top ten, and it took almost ten races to actually clinch a first after an engine upgrade.

This left me driving my first couple races by myself, dead last, in hopes of trying to get points and sponsorship to upgrade my car.

When it came to the race ,first place was making a lap a full 5 seconds faster than me. In my first qualifying runs I placed myself at 43 out of 43. However from the get go it was clear that I was going to lose. I can understand as a rookie, they are going to have an uphill climb into the series. You can also play Head to Head against some of the strongest drivers in NASCAR today.įor me the game fell apart when I played the career mode. In multiplayer you can play split screen offline, or online with up to 16 people. Outside of career mode you can play single races, highlight races or a single season. There are plenty of modes to try out in the game. You have plenty of opportunities to dial in your car between practices to get the coveted pole position in qualifying which can play a major factor in the race. In the garage you can make small or major changes to the setup of your car, depending on how deep and complex you want to be. Of course if you really want to get the pole position you need to focus on drafting, the condition of your car, pit stops, and avoid crashing. Hit the gas, go in a circle, try to get first place. The controls are fairly simple to the game. Overall appearance of cars and tracks are really nice, and there are some cool options to walk around your car or take pictures from the track as well as customizing paint schemes and such. The lights falling on the track are alone a pretty cool sight. There’s solid graphics engine with day and night time racing. NASCAR has all the makings to fall in line with the other sports games. It shares the same features as Career Mode, chances to rewrite history by recreating races, and updated content that coincides with current events and the upcoming season. Although there are a lot of similar features to an EA title, NASCAR is actually published by Activision. NASCAR The Game: Inside Line is the latest release by Eutechnyx.
