Will NASCAR 2005 For PC See Pocono?

From what I've been able to gather so far: -- Pocono is completely missing on the console versions. It seems the owners of Pocono wouldn't allow EA to include their track. -- No Mayfield. -- No Schrader. -- No cockpit view. IMO, no big loss here 'cause it looked like garbage. -- Missing drivers in the CT and GN series. Query: Why release a NASCAR title if you can't include all of the tracks? Cup tracks, at that. Heck, Pocono has has two races on the schedule. What are the odds of these things carrying over to the PC version? While the console versions have a lot of gameplay, I'm afraid that I'll be limiting this one to renting until I can form my own opinions on it. If Pocono isn't included in the PC version, either by EA or fan-created, I won't touch it at all. -Will, contributing his 2 cents

Just like Papyrus did for YEARS when they couldn't release Daytona AND Indianapolis. They shouldn't have released that garbage. Bill Bollinger www.gsxn.com P.S. I bet the console version will be extremely FUN to play and will be very popular because of the new XBOX Live addition. "William Bradshaw" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Pocono was also missing from certain versions. The owners of Pocono seem to be the problem here. Mr. Bradshaw you should let them know the errors of their ways. Marc "Bill Bollinger" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I wouldn't worry too much I am sure some modder can convert or make Pocono and add cars and drivers. "William Bradshaw" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I'm sure you can see the cockpit. Just not from the inside. "JTS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

They wouldn't agree to have it in N3...never had N4 or N2K2 so I dunno about those - but have to assume N2K2 and N2K3 are pretty close... I don't get why the owners of Pocono don't understand about FREE PUBLICITY?!?!
