I pre-ordered was because of the season mode. Maybe I still have time to

Well, I was browsing the internet and came across a preview that may say
otherwise. The relevant part:
"Tiburon is of course famous for the Franchise Mode in Madden, and equal
care is being paid to the career mode in NASCAR. 2003 is to go beyond driver
management to total team management. Using a budget based on race success
and sponsorship money, you build a complete pit crew out of individual staff
and acquire new technology for your cars. More money means a more competent
crew, while lower pay means more screwups in the pit lane. If you aren't
paying a crew member enough, he may be prone to mistakes that could cost you
a race. The selection of sponsors to customize cars is naturally much
bigger, and now that cash is a factor, picking up sponsors is more important
to success in the career mode. As before, career lasts 20 years on consoles,
although it's unlimited on PC."
Came from IGN.

BHMS - Will there be a career mode?
Ed Martin - Career Mode is on the PS2, Xbox & Gamecube but not PC & PSX.

Wayne, Goy, I appreciate your responses about what Ed said. Apparently,
we've got two sets of info. If Ed is right (and it's damn hard to discredit
him :) then I'll probably have to go out and buy a PS2 to fill the void.
It's sad, really, since it looks like there is no career mode for the PC
version. Why they left it out is anyones guess. Sure, there are two teams
working on the game (console and PC) but IMO there is no excuse. Would that
not the best part of the game? Christ, maybe one of these years a dev will
get it right. Until then, I reserve the right to ***. :)
Also when I think about it, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the game was a
flop on the PC. Hey, I can always hope. :)
I pray that Papy will punch out one last killer NASCAR title...maybe with
the career stuff (team management, sponsor deals, etc) that EA won't give
us. Yet, knowing my luck, they won't. They'll just toss in some minor
graphical updates, tidy up the physics and push it out the door. I, for one,
still enjoy offline racing since I'm on dial-up. Maybe I'm a dying breed of
racer. *shrug*
.
Thanks again, fellas.

Honestly, if you want career mode + decent physics you'd be better off
saving the $250 for a PS2 and NT2k3 and just spend $20 on DTR2.

At first thought I don't like the idea of having to "buy" a decent team... I
think it'd be a cool "option", though.
