N2003: Running high?

In the demo, I'm successfully passing the AI on the outside. How about in multiplayer? Is the high lane better compared to N2002? I'm guessing there will be less yellows with this Nascar release, as the cars seem less prone to do pirouettes. :-)

Yeah, I noticed that if you tangle with someone and they start to spin in front of you, they don't all of a sudden appear at a 90 deg angle in front of you like they did in NR2002. I was actually able to watch the car slowly rotate in front of me, and I was able to feather the pedals and steer around. I had my right front into his door, barely, and his car just slowly rotated around the nose of my car, just like you see on TV. It was really quite cool :) Larry "Carl Ribbegaardh" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:b1tnls$16ikfm$[email hidden]...

Of all the changes IMO the car to car contact is the biggest improvement. Now you actually have a chance to save the car if it gets outta shape. In the demo I was beating and banging with an AI car and we went off the track onto the apron and back and neither one of us lost it. Made me think back to Eddie Cheaver and Dale Sr. in the IROC race. The only down side is so far it has not translated well to online, but I think that has more to do with warp than anything. I can't wait till I get my basement done, LAN party! MadDAWG

the high line is a lot better.. "Carl Ribbegaardh" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:b1tnls$16ikfm$[email hidden]...

My basement is big enough to hold all you guys. lol I'm gonna start with my two gaming computers and server box setup. the total number of possible stations will be limited by how far guys fling their elbows. lol MadDAWG

So far, I think I would agree. Rubbin' is Racin' once again applies to at least a certain extent :) Larry "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Of all the changes IMO the car to car contact is the biggest improvement. > MadDAWG > >

I'm not a young pup anymore. That and a certain sleeping disorder means I rarely drive any great distance alone anymore. :( dave henrie

Believe me, I did not do it by choice, and I too have 'aged' to the point where I'd rather not try again :) Larry "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
