Nah, he is waiting for that Ferrari drop in Nascar 21

Was probably referring to only cup series an meant to say no trucks in game

Also complaints on weather options...sunny or cloudy, and night are it...lmao because there is no racing in the snow or rain

@@Lkingfwdnevabkwds they can race in the rain on road tracks am pretty sure

@@kierenferguson2003 thanks

Why? I’m thinking about getting it

@@itsbrandong2337 if you are wanting it for career mode and solo play, you’ll have a fun time, but with bugs and glitches. If you’re wanting it for multiplayer it’s terrible and needs completely fixed

@@caseyq3246 I’m More for like both I love career and online

@@itsbrandong2337 online is broken currently

@@caseyq3246 ahh okay thank you brother

Lol cringe when I heard him say that

So probably not a reliable source for a racing sim verdict.

Damn really that sucks

@@derekmccord3798 this game is not a sim. It has what I would say are the best driving physics in a nascar game in quite some time (post the most recent patch) but it’s still fairly arcadey and full of bugs

@@MaxPrescottDi9 honestly, i like heat better

It literally gives the player the option to LOOK AT CREW CHIEF, when he's holding the tablet. Don't blame the reviewer, blame the game.

No i blame the reviewer because if he was knowledgeable about the sport and the game he wouldn’t have said it was the crew chief. He should know being a game reviewer that it’s the spotters voice. Just makes me believe that the reviewer knows absolutely nothing about the sport or the game.

Acting like pit maneuvers are just an acceptable move

​@mattboxmedia hey dude, you're wrong. I am a long-time NASCAR fan. I grew up with the sport and have spent COUNTLESS hours watching racing. And not just NASCAR, but also Formula 1, INDYCAR, Sprint Cars, Midgets(that's what they are actually called), and even NHRA. @djg-cue3547 and @clcbc97 are absolutely correct. The Crew Cheif does also talk to the driver but the conversation is more about how the car is performing(too lose or too tight) and any mechanical issues. The Spotter, sits atop the track somewhere where he can see the entire track and the rest of the field(other cars) and relays to the driver info on where those drivers are at. Drivers wear a device called a HANS device that essentially keeps their head in a straightforward position. This is so that should the driver find himself in a wreck, his head does not slam forward or to the side, resulting in injury or death, look up Dale Earnhardt Daytona 500 2001crash and you will see why this device was made mandatory for all drivers. The Spotter has ALWAYS been a part of NASCAR, but his importance was amplified after this device became mandatory. The Spotter is who you are hearing, not the Crew Cheif.

​@@mattboxmedia also, go back to the beginning of the video where the reviewer is showing game play and you hear the character in the game say "three wide, three wide, up top, up top". Did you notice how he had closed captions on? Whatch them when he is saying those phrases, it says Spotter: three wide, three wide"

This is my first NASCAR game as I grew up on F1, I love the racing here but aside from that you’re right, the game is too simple, can’t wait to get the indycar game tho, but Motorsport games will probably be underwhelming there, at least they’ll do right by the cars & tracks

@@christophermoltisanti4776 that isn’t true, either way, developers could’ve done more here

F1 is a much more known and bigger name than Nascar tbf... also F1 is made by codemasters

Because F1 is infinitely more popular and deserves 100% more attention than nascar.

They can’t make it a good game atm unfortunately as the game is under a contract with Motorsport Games, which are quickly losing money and people left and right. Best hope would be if they ultimately shutdown completely having to find a new developer (code masters would be perfect, long shot I know) Motorsport Games is a company that probably knows nothing about NASCAR, hence so many issues. Would love to have NASCAR nerd work on one some day! 🙏🏼

this reeks of gatekeeping the sport without actually saying it. I do not skate or know the expert stuff regarding skating but I can still review a skating game and give my honest thoughts and opinions on it aka a LITERAL REVIEW LMFAO. This type of elitism you spew is the exact reason why NASCAR/Professional driving has stagnated in popularity because of basement dwellers like yourself ;)

@@chargers014 I think he was referencing things like, as a few others have mentioned, the reviewer seemingly criticizing the inclusion of only three manufacturers when there are, in fact, only three manufacturers in NASCAR or when he said in this review, "Even for NASCAR, it seems a bit too simple, too often." I mean, "Even for NASCAR..."? C'mon. I understand that to the uninitiated it's just cars going in a circle, but - like baseball or golf - the more you know about it, the more you realize how much is involved (even if you still don't end up a fan, which is perfectly reasonable) and comments like that one in the video are just kind of snotty and come off as condescending to stock car racing and its fans. The criticisms of the gameplay are perfectly fine. Same with the options. I haven't started playing the game yet, but I'm already having buyer's remorse. That being said, I'll keep it until more patches come out. In the meantime, I'll probably buy F1 2021 and play that into the ground.

@@chargers014 ...but he complained about there only being 3 car companies when if he did a hint of research he'd know thats how it works in Nascar IRL

@@chargers014 Honestly, no. As a big racing game fan and there is a massive problem with gatekeeping in this community but this isn't an example of that. I know driving games are somewhat universal, but the ones relating to specific race series need someone who is familiar with the real world sport. You wouldn't hand FIFA to an NBA 2K streamer and expect them to understand the specific nuances of football enough to be able to go into real detail on a football game, they simply don't have a firm grasp on what they're looking at. They could certainly write a review on it, it's their opinion on the game after all, but that opinion would be incredibly stunted compared to what a football fan would be able to produce.

This dude literally complained about how there were only three manufacturers in the game, as if he expected them to make more or something...

@@noahroth2992 🤣🤣🤣🤣these the people that get paid 6 figures for this. See why games are garbage post 2015? 🤣🤣

Thank you

@@djack2058 They're garbage because greedy ass execs prioritise profit over game quality. Nothing to do with one guy on KZfaq who 100% isn't getting paid 6 figures

They'll be adding those features in the next patch.

@@TheHighRoad1748 bruh that's not an excuse, those are ESSENTIAL things, which just have to be in the game on release day.

@@TheHighRoad1748 bruh thoes are essential things. It's like mma game with no ground system.

I stuck with nascar heat 4 even after my friends bought 5 because I saw the game play and didn't like it but this is just ridiculous

Yeah, I haven't played a nascar in a minute but seems like they've really lacked the passed few titles, I'd rather pick up an old Nascar game, they used to have way better graphics, sound, customization, everything, and not being able to read tire wear or fuel gauge and other missing options is quite disappointing.

I totally miss these games. I still play NASCAR 07 on my PS2 every now and then.

@@rockstargunit55811 oo

@@rockstargunit55811 8o9ooo

I like when they had total team control made it more challenging trying to swap cars and drive them all to the front and also getting to race the modifieds

Probably because majority of us still use ps4 because they’re still sold out everywhere

They said they would be getting a full blown PS5 and Xbox series x version in the coming months. Still gonna be shit tho

Because next gen is a hoax! Go buy one. You cant! Ha!

@@the_hateful_n8383 you definitely can, just takes a little research and a lot of patience. I gave up on getting one when they released but when I decided I wanted one it took about 2 days to get one. But it doesn’t matter because now that I have a series X I’m still forced to play Xbox one games

@@Mm2Hippiegirl when i can walk into a walmart and buy one off the shelf for retail price.. then ill believe you. Until then, youre just some ps5 propaganda schill.

You tore him a new asshole 😲😂

I immediately stopped listening when he said the thing about the spotter and the brands, he was constantly falling out of his line so of course his spotter is going to update him on his surroundings 😂

​@@AZ-rg3rfLOL... 😂

@@garyr7027 my comment got deleted... what did I say?

@@AZ-rg3rf sure it got deleted?... I can see it. Anyways what you said was facts but funny at the same time, you put it in the right perspective where the video did not.

I would immediately Uninstaller. That was horrible at the beginning.

They constantly tell the driver if they have someone below them, if they are 3 wide, how far behind the others are, or have someone coming up

@@mikegrey5663 having watched forever, you don't think this is excessive. Because it is a bit beyond what they actually do.

@@alexanderm1126 little bit beyond but not any worse than the glitch in NASCAR 2001 for ps1

Yeah that was so annoying

I just wish they added dirt track racing to the game or truck racing. Hell even the wheelin series. I do agree though it’s not like the game needs 10000 different modes.

@@HotBoiRicer kinda glad they didn't, Graphics always seem to be lower with all those different series added but I see where your coming from

So you admit nascar isn’t supposed to have much depth.

He learned a lot from Cabbie, back in the day.

That sucks man, that didn't happen to me thank god.

Lol

That’s that no traction control, it’s more fun like that tho

Legal issues. Companies own the drivers basically. If you put Kyle Busch in a shell penzoil car at Penske there could be a lawsuit

nrpg moment

It dies with graphics and some other things, but how it works not so much

This game has so much potential

It’s a sharp downgrade from that outside of graphics mind as well save your money

It isn't. I always said that Heat 5 was a decent game, but that took five or six years of work. I really don't think MSG have the resources to make these kinds of games, and I think they might have done fatal harm to their brand with this release.

Yep same issue with Xbox and the Logitech g920 wheel. This is an unacceptable issue.

And my transmission is stuck to the wheel and can’t use Th8a. Throttle keeps cutting out badly cutting my speed by 30-40 mph. I was excited about this game played it for maybe an hour before it got to be too much. I was one of the idiots that jumped on preorder ASAP and got champions edition. Bad idea 😂

You cant even use the buttons on the wheel? No track map, no fuel, no tire management, bugs galore, no rear view mirror, no time trials, career mode sucks. Heat 5 is like iracing compared to this

Hang on, the rFactor engine was a selling point and they haven't even added wheel compatibility?

@@MMR_LM Logitech g something was the 1 wheel that was compatible at launch. What a joke

Ha hahaha

There's far too much to fix unfortunately, maybe the next game

iRacing is where it's at, buddy. I want to get it but I don't have a proper driving setup yet. I want the whole setup before I buy.

No, the setups exist, but you have to do it literally while racing on the track and not during the pit-stop in the race. This game is garbage and frankly I won't buy another nascar game until they have a decent career AND team mode. If f1 can be stellar then what is the problem with NASCAR? This sucks

@@josephhorvath2562 exactly. F1 can do it year after year. Nascar games fail year after year

@@josephhorvath2562 I can't go more than 5 laps before the car magically goes airborne for no reason

10pm?

@@rickyzeck2755 mountain time

Change ur time zone on Xbox to Australian, can play it right now...

@@engineereells79 I have PS4

Go ahead and get that refund button ready, guaranteed you’ll use it

They should fix the bugs before they even think about adding new stuff to the game. But regarding the history of the developer, they are arleady working on the DLCs and don't care about all the bugs. This game should have been postponed until maybe early next year, because this is just a early beta.

The Ai is its own bug. I am disappointed that the Truck and Xfinity Series are left out too. And a story mode like in F1 would be awesome but I do not think that they add it

Braking point was shit lmao

Check out Nascar heat 5

Just go see our good friend Codex ;)

It’s $10 right now for PC. Thinking of picking it up. Lol

@@drummerJ99 Don't. Its not even worth sailing the open seas for

Completely agree

I have the game and it is dreadful. Feel free to spend your money however you wish. But the game really is as bad as everyone is suggesting.

Yeah it’s pretty terrible and I’m not that harsh on games. I mean this is one of the worst games I’ve ever played

Thanks for the reply guys not wasting my money on this for my husband

It will be good, they are working on it.

Then keep it that way dude, cause nothing released in the last 14 years has come close to as good as that one

@@jmreeves89 nascar 15 was good

Then get a sim, these games are meant for more arcade style gamers.

2002 was great as well.

There isn’t a 2023 game
