Good game, i would like to see a mini map for the tracks that have different turns. I would like to have pitstop control and for us to press buttons when fueling or changing tires .
I've played NH2 for roughly 4 hours and have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. I have experimented with virtually all the various game modes and each one has left me coming back for more. Visually the game leaves a lot to be desired with dated graphics and decent damage model. Game play is fun, fluid and challenging with the aggressive AI. My BIGGEST complaint so far is the lack of a **** can a racing game in 2017 NOT include this? Overall I am impressed with how well 704 Games listened to fans, I didn't play NASCAR Heat Evolution so I really can't say firsthand how much the game has improved, but from what friends have told me and things I've read/watched the game is heading in the right direction. I think any reasonable person understood that the 2016 version was the building block and I look forward to what this series can become down the road.
First off this iteration is a step forward over its predecessor. However, there are some things that are lacking that just take away from the overall feel, and immersion, that I think 704 Games should be going for. Firstly, I heard from several Youtubers that the "Hot Seat" offers were completely random, but I received offers for the exact same races that every Youtuber I watched received. Secondly, after you secure a full-time ride beginning in your first full season, it's not your name, but the previous (real-life) driver's name that appears on your car/truck. For offline (mainly career) modes there should be a place in the Create a Driver section to input your first and last name which shows up on the leaderboards and the last name is also mapped to show up on your vehicle. I feel this greatly take away from the immersive experience that would be easily possible to create. Also during my first couple of hours playing the game, during offline career play, I notices several frame rate crashes whilst in the race. There should be no "lag" in an offline race. I also hope that they patch in some additional options into the currently bland Create a Car (Paint Booth) area. Good game, but could be so much better.
This game... Wow is it bad. Recently got a PS2 again, and the graphics on NASCAR 06: Total Team Control look more realistic than this game, and the cars handle better, and the AI function better. I was under the impression that NASCAR 14/15 were going to be the worst NASCAR games ever, but you guys really outdid yourselves with how bad this game is. How many cars in real life do you see wrecking and doing 5-6 360° turns and then getting straightened back out again in their own? The UI in my opinion **** for a game. I get why they chose to make it that way, it matches the NASCAR broadcasts but it just doesn't fit to well in a game for me. This game makes Days of Thunder for the PS3 look like Grand Turismo/Forza.
A very poor game in my opinion, the graphics are terrible, the performance is terrible, the AI are a joke and constantly try to spin you out... Even the real videos shown before some races is very poor quality. The OSD is terrible, you have to manually put everything on.. basically no assist settings. What an awful game this is, a very lazy effort.
Piece of **** game don't waste your hard earned money. it's not hard to make a good nascar game. EA did it why the **** can't anybody else with the technology of two more ****ing deacdes!!!!
