nascar 99 sucks

who here thinks EA's Nascar 99 sucks? a combo of horrable control and lack of depth make this game a looser in my opinion. Last year for my playstation I rented EA's nascar 98. I expected it to be cool. Me and my friends played for a total of 6 minutes before returning it to the dusty shelf were it sat before. My neighbor recently bought Ea's nascar 99 for N64 and it is the dumbest game ive ever played. when you go backwards at 200 mph and hit a car comming at you 200mph your car wouldnt just flip upsiddown it be blown away. All that happended to me was I got a little damage. At least in nascar racing 2 you die, if you hit anything over 50 mph. this pre-*** slumber party game is good for 3rd graders, but a serious gamer should buy papy's nascar racing 99. just my $.02

That's a given. Any EA NASCAR product hasn't shown any promise. Perhpas NasRev will be a step up. Control's are second on my list. The lack of proper physics is what makes this an arcade game in my book. Probably had damage set to limited. Probably not. Serious SIMMERS should buy Papy's NR1999. You'll see a ton of *** gamers get frustrated with Papy. *lol* -- Travis Kallner mknight98 on TEN ICQ#23206113 Driver of the #15 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in N.A.O.R. and O.R.S.A.

Actually, you could apply that to all EA games (note: games / not simulations) or at least the ones I was a sucker enough to purchase. After a few purchases of EA games, it'll take an aweful lot of fantastic reviews before I purchase another one. Granted EA games have great graphics but gameplay realism is another story. -Club Pro

The problem is that EA can't decide if they want to make an arcade or sim game so it ends up being crappy at both. Here were my main complaints with Nascar 99 1) Lack of sensation of speed 2) Unrealistacally slow acceleration 3) Unrealistic drafting and physics ( I could gain 20 mph on the straights by drafting at Martinsville ) Thankfully I just rented it. Thank You, Patrick Shumar

All said. this pre-*** slumber party game is good for 3rd graders, but a

I have heard many Nascar drivers mention that there is very little sensation of speed, running so close together on oval tracks. Would that not make it realistic? Plus they are geared for top end, not stop-go-slooow driving. > The problem is that EA can't decide if they want to make an arcade or sim game > so it ends up being crappy at both. > Here were my main complaints with Nascar 99 > 1) Lack of sensation of speed > 2) Unrealistacally slow acceleration > 3) Unrealistic drafting and physics ( I could gain 20 mph on the straights by

Make sure you aren't running with more graphics than your system can handle. I've found that the sensation of speed radically depends on which view you use (bumper is best) and what level of graphics (turn off the sky!). Further, the real-time to game-time also strongly varies. I condemn any game that uses such a design. BTW, that includes GP2. On the positive, I find this demo FUN! Fun enough that it made this NASCAR-phobe actually go out and purchase Papyrus' Nascar 1999. Yes, Papy's is a superior sim, but I miss Nascar Rev's in-your-face visuals and awesome sounds.

Where is this demo? Thanks! -Larry > On the positive, I find this demo FUN! Fun enough that it made this > NASCAR-phobe actually go out and purchase Papyrus' Nascar 1999. Yes, Papy's is > a superior sim, but I miss Nascar Rev's in-your-face visuals and awesome > sounds.
