NASCAR HEAT - No Retirements?

Despite being involved in some pretty huge shunts, both the AI and myself seem unable to damage our cars enough to force a retirement! This is with the setting on "Hardcore." Do the AI cars ever retire? Is there a way of increasing the likelihood of them retiring? Chris -- Simbok Racing www.geocities.com/simbokza

Addressed and fixed/changed/ to at least acceptable are two different things entirely. Everything in NH is brain-dead other than the much pimped driving model. Forget damage and physics. How many times do you see cars fly? The game is just a silly mess. Or maybe everyone other than a few are fun arcade are guys asking to much. Oh well N4 in a 5-6 months so who cares.

Any Idea when the second patch will be released?

I don't think there is a second patch. I think there is a final release of the 1st patch. I think most of us have the beta patch.. Chris Bloom <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I agree, the damage is still not right and look at all the countless issues that need to be fixed. I did a complete lap on my side against the wall and finished the race. Gee. I see that all the time on ESPN when viewing Nascar races don't you? Not long to N4. I just think there is too much to be done to make Nascar Heat a full blown Nascar Sim sadly I must say I consider this to be for the most part a arcade game with decent physics and great graphics.
