NASCAR is great to play its totally about racing on the track consist of 42, 38 or less competitors racing with you it is also multiplayer but you can only play with ur friends there are public sessions to but very less players play and the multiplayer friend mode is not that good in that mode network is not so stable in other games multiplayer sessions works good but in nascar i dont prefer to play with your friend or if u want to play with your friend you must have a strong network connection i hope they will fix it soon btw game is soo good to play i am satisfied

Pretty good sim racing game if you wanna go REAL FAST AND REAL LEFT. If you are trying to compare this to iracing, don't. Pretty much the only issue with the game i've seen is the messed up indy roval boundaries, a few invisible walls and one of the dlcs don't work right (You can find the DLC files online to fix them). Game is pretty simple to put in your own custom scheme as well so you can run your crappy custom Wrecky Lajoie or your Cry baby Hamlin scheme if you want.

A pretty good sim racing game. Not iRacing level of sim, but more than most racing titles these days that are much more 'arcade' style. I am not even a NASCAR fan and couldn't name a driver beyond about the 1990's. I got this almost exclusively for the dirt track content. Short track, dirt track and 'grass roots' racing is under represented in games that focus on the highest level of the sport. I am an old school guy that goes to my local 1/4 mile paved oval every saturday to watch people turn left. My father used to race on a dirt oval in the 1950's. So I would love to replicate that kind of racing more than the Daytona 500. I also like the progression system here that actually feels like a 'career'. If you start in the lower series (dirt or trucks) you can earn offers to single rides in the other series, so you will get a chance to drive more than just the vehicle for your current series. There is a rival system that doesn't really seem to matter. AI does get more aggressive if you drive rough but it doesn't seem to carry over from the post race text exchanges. Dirt racing is a lot of fun and despite being the 'beginner' series, is actually the hardest cars to drive by far. Getting the flick into a corner and steering sideways takes practice and is super hard to be consistent lap after lap. The cars look and sound great. This is a real challenge to race cleanly, but some paint trading is to be expected. Moving into the truck series seems like you just hit easy mode. Glorious grip on asphalt. The trucks handle well and are pretty forgiving of minor mistakes and collisions. A good introduction to paved oval. AI seems a bit too aggressive at times like it's using the dirt track AI. But overall the AI doesn't crash or spin out very often. Once you get to the cup cars, difficulty goes back up as they are very easy to spin, lose the back end, and don't react well at all to even the smallest brush against the wall. Sound is good and the cars look great bumper to bumper. AI is solid, mostly clean racing and few rookie mistakes. Played with a wheel it feels good and holding a line is natural and neutral. I did have to tinker with the brake calibration some but other wise set up took no time at all. Online is a mixed bag. Hard to find a full lobby on an older game, and of course it's often a train wreck of idiots. If you find a good lobby though- the racing is spot on and a lot of fun. You can choose to drive for teams or create your own, which brings a new element of team management and car development. It's not complicated and adds an element of role playing to the game. Car set up is detailed enough to satisfy the weekend shade tree mechanic but not overwhelming to the average person. The default set ups do well enough that you can get by with those if you are a good driver. I've had no stability issues or problems with online play. As a sim level racing game- it's pretty good and if you want realism it's better than most newer titles offer. You don't have to be a NASCAR fan to get good racing out of this game.
