The Nascar Heat games were made by Monster games all the way to Heat 4. The even made the on ps1 and ps2 in 2000 and 2002 but Heat 5 was made by 704games (the publisher of Heat Evolution and all the other ones up to now) and published by Motorsport Network. Therefore I think Heat 5 is less good because the original developers aren't making the game anymore
So basically what you are telling me is, its exactly like the last Eutechnyx Nascar game: Just one last quick buck before the next developer gets their turn to make it.
One thing I've noticed recently is that one of the few new features they promoted - Online Challenges - hasn't been updated with new challenges since launch, and the launch challenges are unavailable... I open the mode and there's literally nothing to do...
Thanks for the re-review, I almost went to update because it was marked down but glad I watched this, NH4 is just fine until they reset with NH6, hopeful that former codemasters folk come out swinging with 704 games🤘
Considering state of Heat 5, if I want to join in to the NASCAR heat series, which one should I buy? I can only buy one of them so which one should I consider to buy? (On steam)
I’d recommend heat 4 because heat 4 and 5 are the exact same game but 5 is more expensive but if u want all the new paint schemes from this year then buy 5
Yup! The DNF gave me that in the championship to. Biggest problem is frame dipping.....A LOT! Yeah, the road courses are terrible as well as other tracks like Dover. They're simply undriveable to the point where I don't even try to run the races. So I just DNF myself intentionally so that I can move on to the next race.
And this is why you don’t blindly support developers, especially if they haven’t proven worthy of said investment like 704 clearly proved releasing this garbage. Props to Radman for at least admitting his initial review was wrong tho
The only glitch that has made me mad is the one where the game doesn't save data, I ran the Las Vegas playoff race like 8 times in a row for Xfinity and it never saved, ran single races and it didn't save, ran a custom schedule and it saved the first race or two, but then didn't save. All they need to do is ADD A MANUAL SAVE BUTTON
RealRadman, do you still have these issues with the game or has it improved? I've been thinking of buying a Nascar game as I haven't played one before. I've never even watched a Nascar race, to be honest I don't really know anything about Nascar (I'm from the UK, you don't really hear about Nascar over here) other than apparently most of the races are various types of ovals, but I thought I'd give one a try as I love racing games. Is there any other Nascar game you'd recommend? specifically for consoles, I have basically all consoles from the PS1 and later if that helps.
It’s a good game but for the next one I will like to see them follow the other sports. Add commentary and have you be able to select between Fox and NBC
Hey. I'm from England and I want to get into a nascar game. Would you guys recommend heat 4 or heat 5? Which of the heat games give the best overall experience? Thanks in advance
Maybe I'm missing something here...I understand the weirdness of a DNF and then being told you did good. However aside from that, shouldn't you DNF after you plow your car straight into the wall?
So many small problems with this game and EVERY time I post/race a new video, we find another problem. Its an uncomplete game. 704 had problems and rushed to get a NASCAR game out in 2020 to keep the rights to a NASCAR game, but this is sooooo bad. It would have been better if they just changed the rosters for the 2020 season on Heat 4 and called it a day. It hurts the most that it was a $50 game and it's this bad. If 2021 doesn't give us a good game, its over for 704. You're move 704!
I still have and play heat 4 on a daily basis and honestly the only real problem I have is the road courses. I play on a wheel and I simply cannot complete a single lap on any road courses except for Charlotte. That tracks too ez
It’s fun until you realize how from heat 3 to heat 5 nothing has happened they had enough to buy the rights to make the game they have enough to make a good game even great
It’s just Heat 4 with a few changes & more glitches. I’m more than content with Heat 4 until the next game hopefully comes to Switch and if not, hope it’s cross-gen so I can get it on PS4.
Yo guys ever get the pit road glitch where you complete your pit stop, try to leave, hit another car, and then it makes your redo the whole pit stop. It is bull crap
Don't forget about the double head in pocono raceway to were you can't race in the xfinty series or the the bad camera in the road courses were it angels at your car and the numbering for the last race is still number4 not 36
I seen a couple of bugs and glitches but not to the extent of what you're saying. Personally I love the game and I've enjoyed it very much. But that's just me
I'm gonna be honest, I haven't actually watched a single heat 5 video since like the first week it came out, and I don't play it due not having anything to play it on. This seems like a kinda worse version of NASCAR 15 to me. But NASCAR 15 has fun racing at bigger tracks and road courses and a full paint booth. Both have glitches that don't seem game breaking, but funny to mess around with. But most of 15's glitches are mostly avoidable.
I'm not surprised it took you 85 hours to figure this out. Can't wait until your 100th hour re-review or an update on your review or actually some school kid's uneducated rant. Gosh, I can't wait!
Even when you dont dnf in championship races in carrer mode if you make it to the champ 4 even if you dont finish in front of everyone it shows you win it anyway
If you like a really decent driver at best that think he knows anything about nascar, watch this guy honestly he whines more than my girl, whats unbearable is your whining

Radman: Support the game! it`s has a good structure.
Radman two months later: THIS. GAME. SUCKS.
Nascar is awsome that basically sums it up
And of course, there's a NH5 ad in the video
Radman low-key getting that refund with this video lol.
The strats!
RealRadman: *Re review of NASCAR Heat 5*
I click video: *NASCAR Heat 5 ad pops up again*
Exactly-
The homestead one is pretty cool though
My thoughts: Good game if you haven't played a Heat game so far, but I would recommend 4 way more.
Does Dirt to Daytona count since it was gonna be named NASCAR Heat 2 at first
I came from heat 3 to heat 5 and it was a large improvement.
@@zachclark7378 3 to 4 was the improvement, 5 is basically just an update of 4
@@thebigone53 I'm meaning more the Nascar Heat Evolution to Heat 5 era. But Dirt to Daytona probably is my 2nd favorite after thunder 2004
I want a nascar game on par with codemasters F1 series that would be amazing
I replaced Clint Bowyer in career mode and Clint Bowyer is still driving.
I’ve had that in Heat 4
Its the same in hear 4
The trailer for the game still says “November” when they released it like 6 months earlier
This game has me going in circles
Not to mention that every time there's an update, they create a new bug
Like josh bilicki being the best driver in all tracks
All games are like that.
@@Tylnorton stop defending please the games so bad
Since I really only play online, I guess the biggest issue to me is when the host takes like 20 minutes to start a 2-3% race. I’m like 🤬
Oh wow.. last NASCAR online race I played was NASCAR 15.
You could get in 5 of those races in that time..lol
NASCAR heat 6 needs to have a revamped career mode
Add silly season
I bought 4 a couple of days ago and loved it. Was about to buy 5 before this video kept me from wasting the money.
Also at homestead in online mode, they have the lights on for a day race
F1 has matchmaking for ranked online but unranked you can select which lobby you go into
They just added a bunch of broken features to NASCAR Heat 4, which was already a pretty good and complete game.
PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS
I hate these games, sure they're getting better, but to me it's not enough (at least not yet).
Appropriate enough to Have NASCAR Heat 5 ad before the review
I still enjoy NH5 Nevertheless
Would u suggest it? I've never played a nascar game , and I'm planning on picking it up with a wheel as well
Sure
Not gonna lie but that Homestead looked dope as hell
I've never spent less time on a Nascar game.

I just bought Heat 4 and I'm enjoying it. I mod everything anyway so...
The only way to make the game fun is mods
how do you mod??
@@josh_knight6029 You have to have a computer but just look up some tutorials
@@iTmSims On RUclips??
You need Unity Asset Bundle Extractor. That's what I use. I followed some tutorials. You can see some of my stuff on Reddit

This is before he got paid by MSG and became Shillisd he honestly thinks 21 is better than this

0/10 game not enough dirty air
the championship thing happens even if u didn't win it even if u didn't DNF, but once u get out of career mode it fixes it and says u didn't win it.
You may want to do a re review of this re review now we’ve experienced the god awful mess of ignition

On F1 2020 all you need to do is look on unranked and there’s a server browser..
I’m a game dev and usually lighting isn’t that hard to fix so idk how multiple teams missed that
We need a better career mode we need silly season
It’s a good game but for the next one I will like to see them follow the other sports. Add commentary and have you be able to select between Fox and NBC
Idk why but I don’t come across many bugs, btw I’m on Xbox 1
They made a fun ps2 era nascar game. Heat 3 was poop. Bought my 1st f1 game the following year. Still playing that time to time.
Hey.
I'm from England and I want to get into a nascar game. Would you guys recommend heat 4 or heat 5? Which of the heat games give the best overall experience?
Thanks in advance
4 is much better, for some reason you bounce off of cars more in 5
I have an idea you become a game maker and you make the best nascar game ever and make your dream game and it will be the "next best thing"
Id donate some money for something like that. All those who donate could download an alfa or beta version to test.
Honestly I would love to play NASCAR 11 on the 4 it was Fun
I liked icebergs video about the heat games but yours is as good as icebergs too plus
P. A. I. N
Subscribed for the arsenal shirt
7 months later and they have been sorta fixed
So who wants to tell him that in f1 2020 that unranked lobbies are servers
Just got this recently on xbox and enjoying it BUT .... prior to this never really played a nascar game before
They should have waited till September
Maybe I'm missing something here...I understand the weirdness of a DNF and then being told you did good. However aside from that, shouldn't you DNF after you plow your car straight into the wall?
I haven't played since Nascar 09. Steam has both Heat 4 and 5 on sale at the minute. Should I buy Heat 4 for $9 or Heat 5 for $13???

7:00 Skill based matchmaking ruins casual cause u always have to sweat leave that shit to competitive
I still have and play heat 4 on a daily basis and honestly the only real problem I have is the road courses. I play on a wheel and I simply cannot complete a single lap on any road courses except for Charlotte. That tracks too ez
Am I blind or the focus on the camera off? Looks kinda blurry? 🤔
Idk but i see it too
The least they could do is acknowledge how incomplete the game is. Still somewhat fun if it doesn't crash (good luck)
It’s fun until you realize how from heat 3 to heat 5 nothing has happened they had enough to buy the rights to make the game they have enough to make a good game even great
It’s just Heat 4 with a few changes & more glitches. I’m more than content with Heat 4 until the next game hopefully comes to Switch and if not, hope it’s cross-gen so I can get it on PS4.
Rad, please upload F1 videos. My birthday oct 23
I love the Re review... make it a thing
Any racing game without FOV changer is a fail
Were you going into unranked lobbies in F1 or Ranked?
I’m really not sure what his issue was. Maybe he created his own lobby and nobody joined because there are always atleast 25 lobbies to join on f1.
It’s funny because it’s going to take me awhile to say I love NASCAR heat whatever number they get to in the near future.
The game won't be called nascar heat next year
They still haven’t fixed the playoffs for custom championship mode.
Still no regrets NOT buying the game ;)
Yo guys ever get the pit road glitch where you complete your pit stop, try to leave, hit another car, and then it makes your redo the whole pit stop. It is bull crap
Wow, thats some BS.
Heat 4 was solid, they copy and pasted heat 4 and made it worse how is that possible
Does anybody else have the stuttering issue where it freezes for a split second afew times a lap? Career mode. Specially bad at Daytona and Talladega.
You said steam and ps4 you own it on both what would be the point
Don't forget about the double head in pocono raceway to were you can't race in the xfinty series or the the bad camera in the road courses were it angels at your car and the numbering for the last race is still number4 not 36
One of the things I hate the most is the music in the game it's so bad and gives me a headache so bad so I just turned it completely off
Well this video just saved me 25 bucks. Hope the next game on the new engine is better.
I seen a couple of bugs and glitches but not to the extent of what you're saying. Personally I love the game and I've enjoyed it very much. But that's just me
I got a NASCAR Heat 5 add during the video
Why can’t I only put left side tires on
So should I buy NH4 on PS4 for $5? Like are there any career or other differences? All opinions welcome:)
I had a flat tire in Phoenix and Brett (who’s in the champ 4) but finished 6th and I apperanrly won but stats I didn’t
I'm gonna be honest, I haven't actually watched a single heat 5 video since like the first week it came out, and I don't play it due not having anything to play it on.

Are you able to run the high side? Cause I never can make the high side work
Kansas, Bristol & Iowa are legitimately the only tracks that I can run the high side with no issues.
Good review but curious why you wasted 2weeks if your life on a game you didn’t like? Just bought the game and not impressed
I stopped watching this video after you said unfinished game
See I have to give the game a 9 out of 10 due to only playing heat 2 in the past
Does anybody agree with me that the NASCAR heat 2 damage model should come to NASCAR heat 5
Triple digit hours ? Try triple digit days
Even when you dont dnf in championship races in carrer mode if you make it to the champ 4 even if you dont finish in front of everyone it shows you win it anyway
That's dumb
So let me get this straight you could finish last 15 laps down and still win the championship
Yep you could
All I have to do I the championship race is to Danica it
Basically it wont pop in in the carrer mode as championships but you'll get the achievement and the championship winning scree. Will pop up
RALLY PAINT SCHEME IS HERE?!
No but it is coming in the October dlc!
Where's the drive for five bro?
I cant green flag pit online lol it disconnects from servers
Just got Heat 4, thx.
That’s because no one plays F1 in the USA! Lol
I'm come here for salt
I play this for paint scenes and there are hardly none, only dlc. BULLSHIT!
I havent even seen any bugs the hell you be talkin bout
but i play heat 4 a lot so that could be why
