EA's New NASCAR Sim Fact Sheet

EA SPORTST presents the new standard in NASCAR PC racing: NASCAR SimRacing. Created by NASCAR veterans and tested by NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series drivers like Ryan Newman and Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR SimRacing is the perfect combination of realism, true racing 'feel', depth, and advanced EA SPORTS presentation. Thunder down the straightaway at Daytona International Speedway� alongside 42 other live drivers online as Voice Over IP smack talk mixes with the roar of V8 engines in glorious surround sound. * Race Tested, Driver Approved: The all-new racing engine in NASCAR SIM RACING is crafted by NASCAR racing veterans from EA SPORTS and previous NASCAR sims, and then tested by top NASCAR drivers including Ryan Newman and Dale Earnhardt Jr. So when you brake to enter a corner, you experience the same physics that real NASCAR drivers experience-neither arbitrarily hard or easy, just real. * Career Mode with Three NASCAR Racing Series: NASCAR Craftsman Trucks, National Series, and NEXTEL Cup competition-work your way up from tough truck racing to the big show in Career mode. * Cut to the Chase: NASCAR Sim Racing is the first PC game to feature the new NASCAR NEXTEL Cup points system-compete to make the field of 10 drivers competing for the championship in the Chase for the Cup. * EA SPORTS Authenticity and Depth: Over 60 drivers, real teams, 28 tracks, current NASCAR NEXTEL Cup rules, and a full complement of game modes from pick-up-and play single races to Chase for the Cup shootouts and multiple Seasons. High Definition Presentation and Cutting Edge Technology * Online Racing with 43 Live Drivers: Compete with up to 42 other drivers or fill in the field with AI drivers-the largest fields in any racing game. Talk to your opponents with Voice Over IP (microphone and broadband Internet connection required), compete in Hot Lap leagues and Tournaments, and compare your results in online rankings. You can even watch races as a spectator to check out the competition. * Hone Your Skills with Advanced Telemetry: Analyze setups and lap times and compare them against those of real NASCAR drivers, or exchange data to compare notes with other sim racers. * Thundering 3D Audio: Hear the sweet sound of 750+ horses roaring by in Dolby� Pro Logic II audio, so close you can almost smell the hot oil and burning rubber. * High Resolution, Dynamic Tracks: Race on the tracks featured in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup series including Daytona International Speedway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Bristol Motor Speedway. In addition, experience Nazareth Speeway, Milwaukee Mile, Indianapolis Raceway Park, and three exclusive EA SPORTS fantasy tracks. * Relive and Analyze Races with Replay Studio: Replay entire races and save highlights and hot laps to relive later or show to your friends. Navigate the high banks of Bristol Motor Speedway then watch full race replays and analyze your telemetry against that of real drivers to improve your skills as you progress through Career mode. Live the life of a NASCAR driver as you rise through the ranks to Chase for the Cup in the most realistic NASCAR game ever created. -- David G Fisher

From what I am "hearing" the physics will be outstanding (Better than N2003) and the graphics are fantastic. The main areas of work that need to be improved is the multiplayer and dedicated server. 1. It isn't exporting results files yet. 2. No F2 Style info in multiplayer. 3. As of yet, you can only run one instance of the dedicated server per box (AAAAK!) 4. No ADMIN commands available in the dedicated server code. I am hearing that the multi-code contact detection is good as well, but they have a few things IMHO that need to get fixed or people will just not switch (Multiplayer/Dedicated Server).

From the point of view of someone who helps administer a league, sounds like this will be a stunning single player / pickup racer experience and if the promise is fulfilled I will no doubt purchase. My league hopes are all with FIRST-Racing and rFactor. FR tech is proven in this field, rF is an unkown quantity. Future looks bright, tho :)

Well I find nothing strange with that, I often did it with Nascar Replay Analyzer and NR2003 and it actually works. You save a replay of one of your good laps, you load it in the analyzer and you compare it to the best lap of, say, Huttu, which you previously downloaded. You can then merge the laps and see them together in-game; you can analyze all sort of graphs: traction, brake, grip, gear shifting and readily sort out what you're doing wrong, where you're braking too early, where you're accelerating too late, what's wrong with your setup, and so on. It's a wonderful tool, actually. M.

Btw the console version has been out for some months now, and I find it to be the best console driving simulator overall. That doesn't say much actually, because of the lack of competition.... but it shows that EAS is definitely aiming at a simulation style of game, not an arcade. After all, previous versions of Nascar Thunder for PC were not that bad, although showing more potential than actual quality... but I've always thought that, with some effort, this could challenge Papy's NR one day. M.

The console version has nothing to do with this new PC version as far as I know. 2 totally different products with little in common. "Marco Pisellonio" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
