NASCAR Thunder demo?

Any word on whether or not EA will release one? In the passed I've always avoided NASCAR games due to the oval tracks, but I do like the cars themselves. So if Thunder is as open as F1 2002, EA will be getting my money. I'd love to take a WC car around Monza, Montreal, Silverstone or even Monaco. I don't play online so multiplayer is not an issue for me, better AI is however.

You can already take a vastly more realistically modelled stock car around vastly more realisticaly modelled versions of monza, silverstone, monaco and, well, mosport (mosport is better than montreal anyway). I don't care if Nascar Thunder 2003 has 8924792487 addons for it that are all very high quality, the core engine and all of its components are pile of crap. Jason

There are converters for N3, N4 and N2002 that allowed you to do exactly that, where have you been the last few years? ;) -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash Fatbob <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:K_yr9.3229$[email hidden]... > Any word on whether or not EA will release one? > > In the passed I've always avoided NASCAR games due to the oval tracks, but I > do like the cars themselves.

I've been here and there, mostly here. I have heard some rumblings about track converters, but not too much (i.e. where can I get one, where can I get converted tracks, etc). Given that "converters" exist, why isn't there more talk of N2k2 players racing on tracks other than the ones included with N2k2? Granted I don't read every N2k2 post, but I don't remember reading about people racing N2k2 on Silverstone or Monza for example. Also another reason why I've stayed away from N4 and N2k2 is that I kept reading that these games have poor AI. As I mentioned, I don't race online, so having good AI is kind of important to me.

http://www.sim-garage.co.uk/ There's a free converter that will convert about 5 tracks and a pay converter that will convert 31 tracks, not only road courses though, many tracks has had an overhaul in the Gfx department and I know David and the people who pitched in also did a lot of work on the AI, which as you say is quite poor in Papy sims As for readily converted tracks, that's a no-no in most cases as the original tracks are copyrighted by Papyrus or whoever created them in the first place There are several Road course only leagues for N4/2002, but you don't see them advertise here very often, but if you post a message to either RaceSimCentral or The Pits message boards, I'm sure you will get a few pointers, most ot them are online of course I'm currently hard at work making setups for our annual BullRun 1000 race (online), the BullRun track is a blast in N2002 as you're actually airborne twice and you need to time those yumps to perfection or face the consequences :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--

Well, if they are smart and want to sell copies, they probably won't. Early word isn't good. I will probably pick it up anyway. I always do :) -Larry "Fatbob" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:K_yr9.3229$[email hidden]... > Any word on whether or not EA will release one? > > In the passed I've always avoided NASCAR games due to the oval tracks, butI > do like the cars themselves.
