The ability to drive three wide at places like daytona and talladega for the whole race, countless times i have finishes at those places that remind me of when they did not run with rerstrictor plates at all. Also i want more on track action like wrecks to dodge, i always here the same thing after my race “The race went by without any cautions,” “Wow, that doesnt happen very often” Well apparently it does!!! Going in the pits would be cool and changing paint schemes and having old drivers (Dale Earnhardt)be able to be unlocked would be nice too. Nascar Thunder 2004 really was the best game from EA sports, they need to combine that with this years edition.
I think they should add some commentary. Like for the Cup racing, have DW, Larry Mac, and Mike Joy commentating, for the Nationwide races have Jarrett, Punch and Petree and for the truck races have Rick Allen, Phil Parsons and Michael Waltrip. I think that would be awesome. Also, they need to drop all of the fake drivers and add more real ones.
My opinion, If they merged Nascar 99 and 2000’s commentary with Nascar Thunder 2004’s racing, it would be awesome.
I think the new game (whenever it’ll come out, not this year though.) needs a whole new game engine. You know, a new graphics engine and physics to really let the game stand out. I for one don’t mind playing on my Xbox 360, and some people complain that the games are too arcady, but I don’t mind one bit. Hopefully the new NASCAR game is released on console. I’m not much of a computer person.
Here’s just a little wish list for me.
1.) Better physics. You know, when you tap the car in front of you heading into three, they should spin out, not go faster.
2.) More realistic damage. When I play NASCAR 09 and smack the wall hard, generally I can keep going without problem. But do that in real life, and you’ve got some pretty hefty damage that’ll put you a few laps down.
3.) Smart AI. It’s almost like the AI is on the specific line as if there’s no tomorrow. I want to see them so they can run up high, down low, anywhere to fight for position.
4.) More licensed drivers. I hate seeing guys like Ron Hornaday, Johnny Benson, and Todd Bodine left out of the game. I mean, for Pete’s sake, the top driver in the truck series is Colin Braun! He’s the only main dude in there! I think NASCAR 05 had more drivers. And I hate how they use multiple drivers for each car, in the Nationwide Series. And where in the world is Brad Keselowski??
5.) Realism. I expect long, spread out lines racing in Fontana. I expect crazy packs at Dega. Not seeing either. And better visuals and lighting. I want to see day to night transition, darn it! Even the Nintendo 64 games had that.
6.) Licensed manufactures. The generic cars bore me a little bit.
7.) A better career mode. Where I can driver for an actual team,and purchase teams, release real drivers, etc. Probably won’t happen with the releasing the drivers, but still, I thought NASCAR 07 had a great career mode. You could purchase DEI, Hendrick, etc., and run a new team with them. That was really neat.
And last but not least, leave out the alcohol sponsors. I could care less and would rather not look at them. For those of you who are so desperate to have alcohol sponsors on your car, I find no point in it. Having the driver’s name on the car is fine by me. And plus, do you really want a video game with alcohol sponsors that kids could see? Think about that.
ability to drive down pit road. that would be awesome. im still not sure why they dont make that an option, if they think its to complicated for people than just make it a choice were you can turn it on or off. Also stop the generic crap, i know it doesnt make much of a difference but if dale jr drives a chevy i want to see a chevy, if da ‘biff drives a ford i wanna see a ford, if kasey drives a dodge i wanna see a dodge, and if reutimann drives a toyota then god dangit i wanna see a toyota. lol just a thought.
oh and also what storm bandit said LOL!!! that would be amazing.
WE drive the warm up laps
WE drive in the pits
WE drive under caution
WE drive after the checker flag waves
REAL cars. They are all the same. No makes or shown. Same goes for the Trucks. Forget if busch was all the same or if they had the makes.
No fake tracks in the season. Want them in the game fine, DON’T put them in the season. Not enough tracks said yes to you to bad, don’t fill the season with fake stuff you made up.
The previous games did if I remember right. The game that had total team control had it for sure. What they need to add is the ability to sign other drivers to your team, like getting Gordon or Labonte to drive for you, not just the generic drivers, which never changed I think.
atleast you guys get a real racing game. have a wii and the only nascar game i can get is a go cart racing game.
2 player for people that do not have online game play
i miss racein my old man it was fun
How about a fun little side shooting game called ‘get digger.’ Arm the cars with little guns and have them fire at digger & friends on the track and then go down into Diggers hole to get him. Just think how much fun that would be!
