To quote another member of The Pits, "It's what Nascar 2 should have been". -- Jim Dunphy The Pits www.theuspits.com To err is human, to moo is bovine. >Just kind of wondering what everyone else's impressions of the games are.

Just kind of wondering what everyone else's impressions of the games are. I am an N2 *** so I'm pretty biased. One of the biggest things I've noticed, other than the exclusion of Pocono; is that the computer AI seems to drive much better. The computer drivers seem to block you more, and I've also notcied alot more three wide racing, with the faster cars always trying to find the best way through a crowd. Pretty cool. Anyway, what do the rest of you N99 junkies think??

Well i was "lucky" enough to be sick when EB got it in today. I loaded it up and then fought with the controls for hours. Finally, I loaded up in DOS and it worked. I was glad to see how easy it was to add my N2 cars and set-ups. The new tracks will definetly keep me busy once I'm back on my feet. One cool thing I did see was at Bristol. Rusty actually came down on Martin and they both spun. I checked the replay to be sure, and it was definetly two cars gettting together instead of one spinning and taking out the other. Brian
> Just kind of wondering what everyone else's impressions of the games are. Overall, pretty good. What little I've raced on it, I do like the improved RACING AI... but I'm thoroughly dissappointed in the AI during the start at many races. The bunching up simply takes a tremendous amount of enjoyment from it. It's not apparent at all tracks... but those that it is... quite bad. Have fun... Andre Ming

<snip> I have the same complaint. It's nearly impossible to get a good clean start at Sears Point or Watkins Glen, and Tally is ridiculous. Can someone please come up with updated LP files, or whatever you do to fix this? Will the LP files transfer over from N2?
