I just wanted to vent a little about Nascar 3's so-called online racing
option. This is one of the main reasons I bought yet another Papyrus racing
sim so I could race online with friends and family. They did away with the
modem to modem multiplayer option and gave us this "online racing" garbage.
If they are going to advertise this option to sell more copies of the game
then I think they should at least get it to where not everyone has to have a
cable connection to be able to race with other people that live in the same
town as the host. The warping and cars disappearing then magically
re-appearing is rediculous. You can't possibly even try to race like this!
I also own MGPRS2 and have raced many hours on the Game Service that Ubisoft
includes (free I might add) with this sim. The Game Service from Ubi is not
perfect but it is 100 times better than this Papyrus "multiplayer" thing. I
hope Papyrus will work on this for us so we can have good, trouble-free
online racing. I think they did an excellent job with the changes from N2
to N3 except for doing away with the modem to modem connection and getting
our hopes up about this multiplayer online racing only to be disappointed
with how terrible it is. Papyrus please take some notes from Ubisoft's Game
Service. Just my .02 worth.

Between me and the Papy crew, please don't go the Ubisoft approach to online
gaming please. Or else it would mean no prediction code, and cars stopping
on a dime from 180 to 0mph when loosing synchro (skew) and then accelerating
from 0 back to 180 in less than a second. Of course all this happens after
the guy behind him (you) plowed in his rear without having the chance to do
any evasion move and after having to pit because your front rear is broken.
Not a troll post btw, just a fact.

They did'nt do away with modem to modem, Just take the time to read he
manual and learn how to use it. Click on addresses when in multiplayer
