I just picked up N3 yesterday at EB and spent pretty much all last night
playing around with it. The best thing i think is the new AI. I ran a quick
18 lapper at Talledega; 100% opponents, 43 car field. That was THE most
realistic Tally AI Ive ever seen. I would imagine it comes from being able to
adjust Superspeedway behavior seperate from road courses and short tracks. The
whole race was one big drafting pack. I started 7th and got as high as 2nd at
one point. I then got off line to make a pass for the lead and proceded to get
dropped all the way back to 15th in a matter of about half a lap!! Now i know
it wasnt much fun at the time but when it was all over i though "Wow, in a real
race here the same thing would have happened." I havent tried racing at any
other tracks but if the AI is that good at the others then N3 was worth it just
for the AI.

Ive been messing with the AI at dega too. There are still some issues
that i think can be resolved. I was messing with them at 102-105%
1) The AI are a little too fast into & through turns 1-2
2) Their too slow down the backstretch, into and through 3-4
3) Why do they run that middle groove, get to the bottom fellas! :)
4) Their too slow on starts once they start into turn 1 and off of 2
Thats what I observed personally. They need a bit of tweaking but I
love the 3 wide racing! At 102% I can start at the back of the field
and get to the front pretty quickly if I dont get caught behind an AI
bobbling and getting off the throttle. My best lap so far is about a
202.5 or so with a good draft.

I too LOVE the AI.. 3 wide racnig is great.. I've even seen 4 wide down
the front straight once!!! couldn't even get by...

But great fun..

N3.. Looks GREAT.. Sounds awesome.. The AI are much improved.. but I
guess ultimately it is N2 underneath.. but that isn't a bad thing :-)
