If MSG can’t do better they should let Monster and IRacing take over. I mean look at world of outlaws. Very successful game and hardly any complaints

I really hope there is some way nascar can terminate their contract with motorsport games, a nascar game from 20 years ago is better than the new games we have now.

I think HighC and the modding community said they weren’t going to touch the mod. They said that they couldn’t add any tracks or move the races in the career schedule back to where they should be (considering that the career schedule that MSG provided is inaccurate - races are in the wrong order and some are just completely missing). Also what frustrates me is that HighTV and the modding community work so hard to create a 2023 mod from the ground up and then MSG creates a mod for LAST YEARS SCHEMES about 2 weeks after HighTV and the modders (now, keep in mind that HighTV/ the modders literally get no money for this and are doing it for fun while MSG is probably a multi-million dollar professional corporate company. That’s just embarrassing). And if you think that isn’t enough, they are charging 10$ for something that should have been released last year. It’s just so idiotic. I’m not doing to buy the 2022 DLC and I will gladly stick to using the 2023 mod that HighC and the other modders worked on.

The reason you're faster in fourth gear is because you're using a super speedway setup on a normal mile and a half. They didn't give new Atlanta but they still gave the same car type and set up that was needed for new Atlanta.

It’s definitely time for everyone who has bought anything from MSG and is affected by them to sue them!

They have the Indy road track, they just didn’t adjust the schedule to change it. They also got rid of mid Ohio and Canadian tire because they aren’t on the schedule, but in mods they were subs for other tracks

Theres a difference between modding kids and developers. The kids actually care about making a good game

Here’s more for you, you can’t adjust the car setup like previously. It’s just tighter or looser. Redick and bowman just don’t race in career mode because they have all three drivers in the 16 car taking up roster space. There also doesn’t appear to be any difference between two star and five star teams. One good improvement I noticed is you don’t get a contract offer after Daytona 500. Not sure when the first offer will come though. Only a few races in

dealbreaker was the removal of custom setups

That whole game is unnacceptable : Motorsport Games should be ashamed of themselves. And NASCAR, if not tearing them a new one, should at least tear ther exclusivity deal.

MSG Just needs to hire the modders for the 2023 mod and help them work on the next NASCAR game that will be released in either 2024 or 2025, because if they can get that out before an actual update, that says a lot.

The crashing is horrible, It crashes after every race, and every time I leave a menu screen.

MSG owes everyone a refund!

It’s time to just have a base game released with full modding allowed so modders can start just making and finishing these shit games since developers obviously could care less. Allow modders to build tracks for consoles as well

They need to add back the other tracks. That was the best part of heat 5 being able to use all the tracks with all series

Dude, this is so helpful, I had this exact issue. RealRadman is a man of the people right here

The excuse is they don't have Nashville and COTA

2:50 To add insult to injury; NASCAR Heat 5 already has Indianapolis Road, or atleast the 2020 version of the game.

Indy Road Course has an issue where the front tires like to lift off the ground, give a real cool Stadium Super truck vibe, really like how MSG incorporated that.

Motorsport Games is like an overseas call center they want you to hook into their Team Viewer or AnyDesk. I’m smart enough to not let these bastards install a corrupt DLC that can break Heat 5

This is actually Unbelievable at this point

If you play career with this 2022 roster, William Byron and Tyler Reddick do not race for some reason, they permanently sit out since there's more than 39 other AI, absolutely rediculous

One problem I’ve been having as someone who bought the game through the PlayStation store on the PS4 is that whenever I try to make adjustments to the game and save them, the game always ends up crashing on me. Same goes when I finish a race. When I complete a race, it crashes and it’s like the race didn’t even happen. Career mode? Crash. Season mode? Crash. I’ve had so many crashes with this DLC that I think I’m gonna have more DNF’s with this DLC than Legacy Motor Club’s is gonna have for entirety of their season.

After waiting til earlier this morning for a patch update for Xbox it finally works properly

I’m still over here playing inside line and ‘14. And I’m completely happy with it!

In career mode William Byron and Tyler reddick never race. They permanently sit out

The game is basically unplayable. Pretty much everything you do it kicks you out of the game back to your home screen.

Im on Ps4 and it works great for me. The only issue is in split screen the engine noise isnt there most of the time. You can restart the race and get it back but if a caution comes out it goes away most of the time

I got NH5 towards the end of the 2020 season on PC and it already came with Indy Roval, Bristol Dirt, and WWT so I don't understand how they couldn't just redo the season with those tracks. Obviously they couldn't get COTA in there, but those other 3 already came pre-loaded in the game

Here's a strange issue, I'm doing career mode 2022 and in the second season I noticed William Byron and Tyler Reddick are not racing, so there are drivers that will be in the points standings with no points and no starts on the season. That's broken unless it's some sort of "realistic injury" which is unlikely (Xbox version)

Dang I’m sad they took out Chicagoland first nascar race I watch in 2010 and I loved that track just for them to take it out what the heck

What makes it worse for you Heat 5 players,RIVALS HAS ALL THE NEW 2022 TRACKS. Yes,They did take out Kentucky,Land and Indy Oval. But Rivals has Cota,New Atlanta etc. It's honestly sad that Motorsport games takes out tracks.....But cant add the new ones. Its dumb (Also Rivals has a paint booth etc) Its a dumb game (Also the game you are thinking of when you say "Its a Heat 5 port,I believe you are thinking about Heat 5 Ultimate Editon+" Rivals isn't really JUST a port) Also no paint schemes? The fuck

New Hampshire for me had the same problem. I use auto transmission and noticed my car just slowed ridiculously in 5th

Do you think it got delayed so this counted as their “yearly release”?

I have the update on PS5 with no issues. Indy Roval is on the new update. No custom setups. I started 40th at Kansas on slider 9 no assist on Nascar Heat 5 2020 and finished 26th. I started 40th with the update at Kansas on slider 9 and finished 27th. I use a g29. At Daytona with the draft top speed 191mph. With 2020 top speed in the draft 210. I am going to start my career or Championship season with the 2020 version.

I would bet the full schedule isn't there, so they can charge you more money later. Great video. TY.

Fun fact: I've done Martinsville and have to use 5th gear on it, even though there is no reason that 5th gear should be used on it (Chastain used 5th gear with the hail-melon but everyone else only went up to 4th gear).

Can't adjust setups to adjust the 5th gear either. I know you can select your setup with quick race/qualify because the setups carry over but there is a lot of stuff that needs to be fixed yet

I haven't seen anyone mention the messed up textures on the chevy models and the messed up window textures in career mode. The wheels are too dark, the interior is the 2020 car and the cars overall look like they ripped them straight off the switch game.....but they didn't bother with the tracks? These people are super lazy and don't give a shit about NASCAR at all....this is what happens when you give development exclusivity to a euro dev team that hates NASCAR clearly. I really wish NASCAR would rip their license away from these fools, since they are in breach of contract by not releasing a new NASCAR game for PS, XBOX and PC in 2 years.

As one that has NASCAR Heat 5 on PlayStation and glad I didn't spend the $10 for the Next Gen update. Looking at how Atlanta, Sonoma, and the 2022 schedule got handled, they're not getting my $10. Looks like that whoever handled the update got lazy on those areas.

Career Mode is kinda fucked up too, Legend AI can hardly keep up with you at any track. No Custom Set Ups for the Next Gen cars might be a reason the AI is a little slower, but the top half of the field can qualify a second faster than 15th place, but then in the race they're a second and a half slower than the player car.

Honestly i think the 2022 update becomes challenging if you tweaked all the AI settings against your favor and put the difficulty to 105 (which I'm sure a lot have done), but tweaking the settings seems to have help. BUT some tracks are just too easy in race now mode. Daytona is very easy until you lose the draft, but getting drafted by a pack or someone else behind you brings you back to the front pack. Bristol Dirt is easy yet you cab be everywhere while the AI is also everywhere. Dover however, for me, was actually challenging. Maxed difficulty and tweaked AI settings had me racing around 15th and staying there unless i lose position. I play on automatic though. I also never finished a race in race now because i was just testing it. Atlanta, William Byron waas ahead by so much as well, and i was in 5th gear the whole time. As said before, imo, some tracks are easy and some may not be. I started a career mode in the #7 car, i put it on Hard difficulty and kept the tweaked settings, it actually seems very ok to me. But there's a lot of things we can pick out as issues.

I keep getting the problem where on a random restart my car will only go up to 85mph and that’s it. Another couple of time the whole field was that way so I caused a caution and then it was fine again. Just makes me mad since I went from 3rd to 36th due to that EDIT: This happens every time I play now :( Wish I didn’t waste my money smh

Just create a season in 2020 with the tracks you want and then load it in 2022

if you look closely you can see the quality of the front and back bumpers that i think they just copy and pasted these cars from nascar rivals lmao

I saw a lot of ppl complaining about it not working on console, other ppl figured out if you unfortunately delete the cloud save data which sucks if you put a lot of work and time into it

This is so frustrating. I just wish we got a serious sim nascar game for console, well it doesn't have to be IRacing level, but at least to the level of codemasters F1 games, especially 22, in medium traction actual drivers said that is how the car feels. It's 2023, and the graphics look like a damn arcade machine with a detailed car model photoshopped in. It just looks ridiculous. Just looking at the way it drives has arcade all over it. I don't understand why they think this trash is acceptable. I feel sorry for the mod community polishing this turd. A nascar game made 20 years ago is still supported by mods and played to this day. Says it all. If they actually took it seriously, updated the physics and graphics and slapped a legends pack in there, the likes of the king, Dale Earnhardt Sr and Jr, Jeff Gordon and the likes. It would be the best-selling motorsport game that year. Hands down. Just like F1 2020 was when they slapped Michael Schumacher on the covers and added classic cars and drivers. It would be instant money maker setting them up for years to come. It's actually tragic how neglected Nascar is games wise, especially console. This update is a straight-up disgrace on the sport and the fans alike. No excuses.

This thing was supposed to come out the month I turned 39. It came out when I was half way to 40. Good stuff.

Agreed...unacceptable!

Monster games wasn’t the all time best, but they would be such an upgrade from motorsport games.

Best quality thing from motorsport games: And i know why larson only has a helmet is bc he wasn't in the ordinary game so they didn't model a new dude so they just put on a helmet

The dlc broke my game even though I don’t have the new dlc

And Kyle Busch is in the 18 car instead of 8

So I just did Daytona and it was so nerve racking and fun as hell

Would of been great to be able to use our paint schemes n be able to tune the cars

Yeah i'll stick with the 2020 car's thank you very much!

I want my $10 back. The game doesn't even function for me unless i play Race now and can't even change settings without it crashing

Did anyone honestly think this DLC would be any good coming from MSG? I gave them enough money with Ignition and don't plan on giving them a dollar more like a sucker.

Us Xbox one players didn't even get the dlc until the day after it was supposed to release, I didn't even buy it and my game won't load, now the only official nascar game I can play is heat mobile. Help.

I cant go back to the 20 season.... everytime i just want to play the season screen freezes. Uninstalled and left out 2022 update still nothing....any ideas?

what are the heat 5 DLC files supposed to look like? because I don't even know if I have them when I look at the dlc folder

Just played the update on ps4 online, wasn’t horrible everybody was pretty even and it was cool to actually have a game with next gen that kinda works unlike nascar ignition

The indy roval is in the game, just laziness it not being on the schedule

I like this guy. The Sonoma layout is bs I hate that carosol spelled wrong probably.

Tbh the stuff mentioned in the video is small stuff besides the number of races thing. They easily could’ve put Gateway and COTA in this update and just left Indy Road there since it was still there in 22. The Sonoma thing yeah it should be right but it’s small compared to the other stuff and the physics being right with the car

Bought it yesterday, didn’t work then, but it updated today, is working now, I have Xbox one

7:00 That's not how software development works. The developers actually doing the work don't get to decide what gets added, how much time is dedicated and the amount of internal resources allocated. That is determined by meetings by designers/team leads and the business side of the project. In all likely hood the developer knew it could be better, advocated for it to be better and someone higher up on the business side said no, we need the dlc revenue on the books now so it's fine, just ship it. It's not about a lone developer being under paid or lazy.

Not to mention that this update single handledly removed 3 dlc packs for the gen 6 [the JJ, November, and Playoffs pack]

Anyone have issues with the update where the 2022 season update doesn’t save. Every time I log in it goes through the settings every time. Idk what’s going on. I’m on console too.

Did you try it out with your career mode and not just play now or whatever mode you were playing the other day? Just asking

Atleast they were able to keep the rear view mirror in the game

If Motorsport games can't make the racing games better it will be disappointing for all of the NASCAR gamers.

And the eight car is not even in the game they have to have another update coming soon let us know when you get a video on that.

Idk if anyone else had this problem but I lost a few of my paint schemes for some of my drivers as well.

My game repetitively crashed if I changed the race options or finished a race

What’s funny is multiple leagues I’m in has so many saying they are having the most fun they’ve had in awhile. Same as me. Sure it’s not perfect but people are having fun with it

I haven't had crashing issues on ps4. But when I go back to the 2020 season I'm missing dlc paint schemes that I previously got.

i just pissed my pants

Me personally I like that layout of sears point, I grew up with the carasel, (however you spell it)

Maybe just maybe if it was free, then hell with it, but charging people for this is as bad as 2021 ignition releasing like it did.

I got it on Xbox by getting it through the Twitter links by nascar heat then downloading it to my Xbox then earlier today they made a patch and it worked

I’m having trouble because after it updated 1.19 it always freezes at the title screen every single time I get in and I try restarting the ps4 but it didn’t work what do I do

I don't feel like buying it for the ps4 now especially cause I can't even race chicagoland in race now with the update and that's sad

Did you check on the 2020 season? I dont have the DLC, just the update. And all the cars from the Jimmie Johnson DLC pack are gone

I miss Kentucky that is my favorite track behind Homestead Miami I want it back

last update messed up dlc even if you do not get updated dlc...my game still updated and removed my dlc...i had a backup and replaced updated files with backup..now my dlc is working again...pc version on steAM

So many tracks were already there, and they replaced them with nothing. i.e. Indianapolis road course, Gateway, Kentucky, Chicagoland, Road America...

So I’m in PS. The update itself works but I can’t exit any menu because everytime I exit a menu it boots me saying “error CE-34878-0” which is a common error but when I do everything people say like “give space on PS check for updates” I gave as much space as I could and I have the newest update on everything. I’ve been told it’s just a me thing but idk

I can’t even open my options menu and save new settings without the game crashing thanks Motorsport games I appreciate you guys not having brain cells

I play on PlayStation 5 and when I try to load into the 2020 season my game literally freezes on that selection menu of the 2020 or 2022 seasons every time I try to select the 2020 season no matter if I restart the app or my PlayStation

Funny thing,ive been stuck in 2nd place before for laps and laps,me and 1st place come up to lap everyone and they body block him and i slide into first. And i bought the dlc bundle thinking something would apply to my own car....i wasted 10 bucks

I didn’t download the update on pc but whenever it went out I noticed the mods crashed and it won’t work so now I’m having trouble downloading the 2023 mods again nit sure if the update has anything to do with it since I never downloaded it

Honestly Moders should run motorsport games because motorsport games can never get things right. And I can’t see them get anything right from what they have put out so far. But seriously why is Sonoma have that layout??

i have it for playstation snd i havent had any issues yet im glad they added the next gen but wish they would have added cota and made the schedule the same as 2022

My game is on version 1.18 I assume this is the newest one and my game won't even let me load in, I get stuck at the nascar heat 5 screen where the confetti is falling but it just tops right there. I assume this is an issue from this latest update. I hope that is, unistall, reinstall didn't work so I hope they fix it soon.

On Xbox the game crashes after doing pretty much everything. You can do a race, game crashes while loading back to the menus. Change settings? Game crashes. Reset career? Game crashes.

Prob gonna see fixes like adding customs cars with the scheme packs that are absolutely happening

What I mean by removed is the DLC is there to buy but when I install it the paint schemes are missing

Regular nascar heat 5 has a bug where when you get to a certain race in a single season mode, the game crashes when you finish the race. Does the update still have that?

6:15 working on what they’re basically copy and pasting the IndyCar & Lemans game from similar games
