It is great to see the new NASCAR 2005 coming out and it looks good
from the previews. Reply to my email and I will find the link I used
to check it out.
There are going to be some great match-ups. Dale Jr. and Bobby H
(wuss), Busch and Waltrip, and my favorite is Harvick with the Reece's
Pieces and David Stremme and his TRIMSPA team of red and blacks.
Better yet, the Walace guy that Stremme bumped off on Friday was
classic. Seeing the view of the Stacker car and the TRIMSPA dodge
behind it, with a suttle bump Walace went to the gutter. I guess the
racetrack reflects the public's opinion of weight loss products.
TRIMSPA beats Stacker every time.
Peace

Note that this is the console versions that will be out next week. The PC
version will not be out until Feb. of next year. I believe this is because the
PC version is supposed to be more realistic than the consoles.

The "Intimidator Button" was a dead give away for me. Sorry guys, but
carrying over on-track incidents into pit road cut-screen scuffles doesn't
translate into a good realistic sim for me.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see EA put out a definative sim but it
seems as though the forthcoming product is an attempt to fill the Papyrus
void and, at the same time be all things to all people (ie. the modified
feeder series, truck series etc)
I bought EA Thunder 2004 and quickly got bored with it. The neatest
things about that sim were the Daytona Beach Track and the MRN intros to the
race.
Maybe I am biased toward Papyrus but they produced the most popular sim
series (both if you count GPL) among afficionado's for a reason.
If they are series about putting a major stock-car sim on the market,
why don't they approach it with the same zeal they put in the F1 series
(Namely the F1C sim)

Hehe, its part of their new "sim" :-)
Probably next to the rocket launcher button.
Is this the version that also has the button so you can share your draft
with another car?

So far, not one of these comments has been about the pc version.
If some of the posters had spent five minutes of research, they would have
known that, instead of making uninformed slams....

C'mon... Didnt the "the Walace guy" part sell it for you ? I know it did for
me.

To me, that draft thing seems interesting provided it doesn't actually
change the physics model when you use it. From the prelim reports I'd seen,
I thought it would basically put in you cahoots with the AI which would be
VERY nice if you have the better leading car. The AI would then tuck in
behind instead of constantly trying to pass, something that makes chasing
down cars on SS'es difficult in NR2003. I've never played NT on a console,
so I don't know if that's what it actually does. The ability to work with
the AI like that though would bring us a step closer to the racing
experience IMHO.

? I've known all along the console version was being discussed. It was
the posters after the one you mention that didn't.
It was easier for them to jump on a trashing bandwagon, with both feet
stuck in their mouths <g>
That is/was part of the console version.

That's what you click when you're a GPL newbie and it shows you Eldred
P's Rank. Newbies feel suitably intimidated. It also shows the number of
years it took to get there; newbies feel doubly intimidated ;)
