Sept. 2025

The best modern day NASCAR game in my opinion, although I’m hoping NASCAR ‘25 is going to take that title. The racing is good but not great and I find myself not wanting to hop on the game everyday because of this. The AI can go from great to weird quite quickly which will throw otherwise normal races, although this isn’t a consistent thing. Like the other Heat games it has a slightly soulless identity problem. UI is practical but doesn’t have any character. The soundtrack is a lot of smaller artists but the songs will become ingrained into your soul, some good songs (not quite Diary of Jane level). Great selection of paint schemes though, also Jimmie Johnson’s last game. You can play as Gordon, Jr & Stewart too. The tracks feel good and look good, although I’ve always found the road courses a bit janky. Career mode is essentially just season mode with some very minor features. Online was fun but chaos, RIP. Overall I find myself wanting to play the old PS2 titles more. This game does hold a special place in my heart, compared to Ignition it’s the greatest game ever made.

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

March 2025

not sure why but after about 5 hours the game started stuttering and i begged for a refund but they declined. i tried again a few months later just to see and the game ran perfectly. ive even bumped the graphics back up to high and it runs amazingly well. i love the game, i play 50% races atm but when i get the sensitivity of the turning down ill be doing 100% great game, recommended.
