C'mone people, all you say, how bad things are and so and you
are still playing this game 8 hours a day. So, it's ok to mention
the bug, but you don't need to make elephant out of mouse, ok?

NASCAR 2 is a great game... there are bugs, but heck, I rather
play game with bugs and wait for patches than not play it at all.

I agree that N2 is a great game.  But how better for Papyrus to use this
collective R&D department so that comprehensive patches can be produced.
If nothing is said, how can they discover, unless through eons of time.  By
posting anamoles, this collective group can help me discover if its
operator error or a problem.

Having worked as a software release manager for a fortune 50 company for
many years, releasing software with bugs happens all the time.  I would
suggest that Papyrus might produce and provide beta versions of future
releases to a selected few end users of thier products.  These users
would have a specified time to run the game and report back to Papyrus
with constructive critisism (something not seen enough on this
newsgroup).  This testing could be done within a couple of weeks and in
conjunction with their own in-house testing.  The feedback from end
users decreased the number of bugs in the final release of the software
package.  Just my two cents.  

Love the game, but I spend more time painting than racing.

I think the real issue isn't one of bugs which I am sure Papyrus knows
about, but one of delivery.  We wouldn't have all of these problems if
they had not whisked this sucker out the door for ***y christmas.  I
can't figure any other way that so many features and ideas were
scrapped.  N2 while a great sim is little better than N1 with improved,
more realistic tracks and physics and graphics.  Few features worth
talking about and the important 'during the race' features never made it
in but we will all pay to get 'em later I'm sure.

And that is my two cents.

Exactly.  That's all I was after :)

Surely your first point lists features that -are- worth talking about.  
I thought N1 was great.
Salesman: "How about N1 with 'improved, more realistic tracks and
physics and graphics'"
Me: "Where do I sign"

Personally, the only feature I miss is the ability to save within a
weekend.  I don't really care for a save feature within the race itself.
As for paying for more 'during the race' stuff, I'm afraid I can't think
of anything that I want to do other than race when I'm racing.

Have fun,

I wanted it before Christmas, hell, I wanted it last summer!!  I wanted it
in 1995!!!
No matter when we got it, there would still be bugs.  Altleast we have it
now and the patches will be sooner than if it came out in April and then
another 6 months for a patch.

My nickel.

A nickel well spent.  There are 2 ways of looking at a half of glass of
beer.  1) It's half full  2) Who's drank my half of beer?!
