  1. Game play is a godsend for fans of the Cup, as NASCAR Sim Racing is exactly what it states…it is sim racing. While some newbies to the sport or gamers who prefer arcade style action may be turned off by the relentless realism, I say it is better to sacrifice the weaker links in favor of the hardcore fans that make this sport what it is today.
  2. A rich, vibrant, and very accurate view into what it really takes to successfully race in America’s favorite racing league.
  3. Offers just about everything a racer could want (with the exception of a comprehensive printed manual) and works hard to satiate the thirsts of both the action/arcade crowd and the generally more demanding devotees of realistic/simulation competition.
  4. If you’re looking to satisfy your NASCAR craving, or you simply want to get away from the typical driving games, NASCAR SimRacing improves greatly upon previous NASCAR titles.

    How is it not a sim. You can change everything from sponser to track bar setting to left rear tire pressure. There are 50-60 settings you can change before each race. I dont know how it can be anymore realistic than that. I guess all you haters just want static racing where you can sit down in an arcade and race away. Expand

    It is an awesome sim racing game, the only problem is no good career mode to keep me coming back for more. That and long load times!

    Like said before, this is not really a sim, rather a "dressed up" arcade game made to look like a sim.

    Dreadful game. arcade but not fun. as a sim it fails miserably. built on reashed to death isi engine. drivable oversteer and oscar winner testers... the usual pressrls crap. EA sure bought the reviews but they didnt buy the users , driver and simmers around the net. just a quick browse for demo reactions makes it clear. this is a flop. no even name papyrus as comparison makes you instantly look moronic. it doesn't even qualify to be compared. 1 point for trying to copy n2003 menus and ui. uninstalls fine though, thus 1 extra point. 2/10 Expand
