The Iceberg: 1,000 laps at Bristol
Me: let’s do that in real life
When the "500" in Bristol stands for miles instead of laps... I wonder how long will the race be.
@@mahiru20ten 938 laps just did the math
noah koz I wonder how manny cars would be left
Infinite amount of laps, last driver standing wins.
@@babystrawberries6629 Yes more choas,

you should be able to race retired hofers and retired tracks

Just imagine launching a NASCAR game, and the first thing you hear is
“SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME
THE WORLD IS GONNA ROLL ME”
(Shrek leaves the chat)
Invest
“IT’S BEEN ONE WEEK
SINCE YOU LOOKED AT ME”
Game slowly fades in...your driver is lifting the garage door in some paddock, and...
"Some BODY once told me..."

Here is what the perfect NASCAR game would look like:
Career Mode:
You start in an All-Star race at a short track (Bristol, North Wilksboro, Irwindale) you qualify and race. Depending on how well you do you get offered rides in ARCA, Dirt or Modifieds depending on where you want to race. If you perform well enough in those series you will be offered rides in higher series. You will also be able to sign a development deal with a major NASCAR Cup Series team. Say for example you sign a deal With Joe Gibbs then you would race their cars or satellite team cars and if you exceed their expectations you will move up, but if you don't you will be dropped from your contract. Eventually you would become a Cup driver with them and replace an existing driver. It should be possible to run part time in other series.
During your career you will be able to negotiate your contract with other teams, read and react to social media posts from fans and media, do pre and post race interviews, and talk to other drivers, your agent, crew chief, owners, etc. through your phone. Your interactions both on and off the track will affect your reputation and popularity among fans and drivers. Your popularity will affect your ability to get sponsors in the future and contract negotiations. Your reputation among drivers will determine how they race against you similar to how it works in other games except maybe not the extremes a driver will go to to wreck you in the NT games. The media should be able to comment on situations going on in the NASCAR universe and have the ability to make you a no name to the next Dale Jr, or Kyle Busch.
If you want to become an owner in any series you can start your own team and it would be similar to how it was in NT 2004. You find new sponsors, negotiate deals with them hire/ fire crew members, other employees (ex. social media manager) purchase shop additions and you could also build or buy engines, bodies and chassis from a rival team. You need to have to maintain your equipment or else the team's performance will suffer.You can become a multi-car team having as many as 4 teams in each series.
Drivers and crew members can become free agents or retire at the end of a season and move to better or worse rides depending on how they performed during their contract so it will be possible to hire other drivers for your team or steal their rides.
Play Now:
Pretty straight forward, race at any NASCAR track in any series with any driver or custom car you desire
Season Modes:
Play in a season as any driver or custom car in any NASCAR series
Play in a playoff scenario from past formats
Play as a team owner in any NASCAR series
Create a custom season using any track unlocked in the game as a driver or owner or custom car
Create a Car:
There needs to be at least 20-30+ options for paint schemes in game or the ability to create a paint scheme online or through photo shop and import it to the game to use in Play Now, Seasons and Online Modes
Create a Track:
Create a custom track for Play Now and Seasons Mode (maybe Online if possible) Decide the length, shape, banking, width, number of corners, grandstands, elevation changes, infield, lights, walls, surface and race time and length
Scenario Modes:
Recreate moments from recent NASCAR races and choose to replicate or change history in moments or even over multiple races
Tutorial scenarios so novice or even more advanced players can improve their skills
Practice Mode where you can try different setups as a single car or with other cars on the track (ex. Pack racing at Daytona)
Online:
Race Now where you race against other players either randomly or with a similar experience level
Online Career Mode: Play against your friends in an online version of the off line Career Mode
Online Season: Play against your friends in an online version of the Season Modes
NASCAR Competitive Leagues: Basically the game's eSports League and subsequent feeder leagues
Unlockables and DLC:
Basically by playing different game modes and completing certain challenges unlocks different paint schemes, legends cars and their paint schemes, driver suits, past and fantasy tracks, etc. They can be used online as well. It is possible to purchase these through DLC at any time, but there will be no content that is specifically available only by DLC micro-transactions.
This is all I could think of at the top of my head. Basically it would be an updated NT2004 - 2006 hybrid
Why doesn't this have more likes!?
With realistic physics, nr2003 style, options ingame to mess with grip, etc. Modding, and realistic crash models, soft body is the most realistic and hope they would put that
Beast! Somebody hire this person now!
UNDERRATED COMMENT
I also think there should be a legends mode where you race as like dale eirnhart
I feel like your soundtrack thing can go farther. Imagine a thing like MLB The Show where you can import your own music on a USB drive.
I think it would be even cooler if you could do the forza thing where you can type to put the sponser name instead of presets
Or even better have the old CDs or NASCAR tracks from many different seasons as extras that you can get by the more races you win
Hes not wrong tho. Need proper music like most racing games fail to have in them.
Used to listen to Diary of Jane at Talladega all the time back then
i like this idea
NR2020 ... aka Iracing
Thank you, finally someone said it. And now it also has IA racing, even if it is still very early, you have it all covered.
Juanfra Valero only problem is... its very expensive.. I personally love it, but it definitely isn’t for everyone
I can't believe Sweet Home Alabama wasn't included in the soundtrack.
That song was in Nascar Thunder 2002
In my game, it would be played during the pace lap at Dega. There’d be an option for a longer pace lap just to hear that song.
Iceberg making lots of NASCAR gaming videos recently lol
Tomorrow is where I make a really controversial NASCAR gaming video. Gonna want to watch
@@TheIceberg 👀
@@TheIceberg oh boi
@@TheIceberg let me guess talking about the worst games like heat evolution unleashed and nascar kart racing.
@@Riggsfan99 As a kid I used love the cart racing game
Iceberg: “I don’t think there’s been a perfect NASCAR game.”
NASCAR PSP: “Am I a joke to you?”
You mean where your cup car doesn't need the draft at the plate tracks and your lower series cars are too slow to be able to use the draft at those same tracks?
@@karlroveyI've been a DS/portable only gamer for years, so any sort of NASCAR game I can put in my backpack is magical. But yes, you are correct. I've had to scour the internet and blow a lot of engines to find the right gear ratio for Daytona. It wasn't easy...
I'd ask Kamikaze because he knows what makes a perfect game.
I can’t stand him am I the only one?
Man On The Internet no he’s annoying as hell
Man On The Internet no he’s not. That guy is scary
SalutingGecko51 glad I’m not the only one
Joshua Burns well, according to him he knows
Bruh why aren’t u working for 704?😂😂
Great online interface with online challenges and unique modes
Make the challenges interesting and difficult
AI that does crash rarely with NASCAR 15 esc physics
Very Detailed career mode
Extra options for all races
2005
I think you should be able to set how often they crash. Like if you want a shitshow you can, if you don't you can. I say the shitshow setting would be about 20-30 cautions in a 100% race.
What makes a perfect nascar game:
Chris Fontaine being in it
Can i live on the Fontaine train
Who Am You yes
@@chrisfontaine47 I already have a room on The Fontaine Train right?
@@chrisfontaine47 :D
With Justin Haley wrecking u*
Like I Roll would have to be in my game for the soundtrack
ahhh inside line memories
My perfect game would have gameplay with a track that rubbers in, the AI is very interactive and have situational awareness. A NASCAR Thunder 2004 style career mode with even more detail. Bring back the trophy case. A mode you can race any track and every track day, night, or transitional. Total car control during warm-up laps, cautions, and on pit road. A better smoke model, A very detailed damage model, with random equipment failures. Before they added the damage car policy I would've loved it if your car was too damage to race but not enough to DNF you could work on your car behind the wall flipping through the menus for tools and take parts off and go back out there. A detailed create a track, car, driver, firesuit, team feature where you can control all colors and upload images. Spectator mode for online mode where you can watch from anywhere on track including the booth and spotters tower. Implement the damn Blue flag.
I think they should do a remake of Nascar racing 2003 season with modern cars and better graphics and damage model and what you said about choosing what to fix and random failures.
I feel like Blue Flag AI would be a BIIIIIIIIIITCH to implement.
So you want the F1 series with stock cars
Here’s a fun suggestion I’ve never heard: Rotating schedules in a career mode. One year say a Dover cup race gets replaced with one from Road America or a fantasy track.
It’s done randomly, and each schedule is a bit different every year.
That is a great idea
YES!
I don’t know if it should be totally random though, certain races like Daytona races, Coke 600, Southern 500 should be constant but can change out others.
Question: What makes a good NASCAR game?
Answer: Good Graphics, Awesome engine sound, and contact impact being at the Right place. And having Chase Elliott in it
Well my favourite NASCAR game is 2005, its outdated, sure but it is a damn good game
I would bring back the 05 intimidator and ally thing, it was so much fun. The AI should also be more realistic like if you dump someone in one race the other driver can dump you in another race.
No mention of the need of a damage model similar to that of NASCAR 11’s trailer?
I am 100% convinced that trailer could be the best video game trailer ever
how about models like those wreck fest mods that let you play with classic Nascars?
Those aren’t that bad but they’re not realistic enough for me. While that trailer has the best damage model any racing game has ever seen
@@DL-nn1ws beamng entered the chat
The 1,000 laps at Bristol blip reminded me of the famous tony Stewart clip of him saying, “I feel like we should just run these cars till they blow up, last man standing wins”
Physics, Graphics, Damage Model, AI, Audio, Paint Booth, Career Mode, Online

I appreciate that, man!

Radar Love by Golden Earring
Born to be wild by Stephenwolf
Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynrd

Teams have the ability to progress or regress based on the player or the AI. A player could bring Roush to its old mid-2000s form, make Rick Ware championship team, or Joe Gibbs could really regress over the course of 5-10 years. Players can either make their own team or take control of real one as an owner driver. Fights are added in based on the old EA driver relationships. Some drivers like Jimmie Johnson you really have to tick off, while Clint Bowyer or Kyle Busch are much more likely to start fights. Driving styles are added in so, drivers like Ricky Stenhouse or Ross Chastin are much more aggressive (and more likely cause wrecks), while some like Kevin Harvick are more cautious (which means they're less likely to wreck), and Newman's impossible to pass. A game mode exists in addition where you play through a famous divers from his beginning to their final race and be able to change history. For this I would choose Carl Edwards not only because he's my favorite driver but he was basically an average guy who got his big break
Such a great mixture of songs, throw in All Right Now by Free and Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crüe
@@TheyWantMeGone69 I forget that song though I have it on my playlist.I love Classic Rock which is weird for someone in high school
@Shay True Blue Aussie If a player wants do that they can
For Radar love, i would either have golden earring or my favorite verison, Radar love by white lion
Have classic drivers like me, mike skinner, Micheal Waltrip, and the ghost of Dale Earnhardt
They really should add legends in
What about Chris Fontaine?
@@nxfxrtune6356 No
@@noahkoz6873 Don't do Uncle Chris dirty!
@@nxfxrtune6356 I just like to troll him
Im with you, bring back the trophy case and as for looks, Id love a damage model thats akin to Wreckfest, where only small bumps result in small dings and dents whereas if you run up on someone and hit them the car gets trashed.
What I add to the career mode is the way sponsors are signed. They are signed for a few races a year. Like coke wants 8 races and has to have Daytona while McDonald's wants to sponsor you for 3 races and wants pocono. It would be more realistic and add a fun challenge to keep your car sponsored all year while making sure not to upset your sponsor requirements.
I'd buy this, but you didn't talk about the most important part of the game: wrecking. Damage models, personally, would be similar to a Wreckfest mod that lets you play as the 90s stock cars; because as far as I know, it doesn't depend on pre-made wreck models that can be a little same-y. Maybe a special animation for head-on full-speed crashes(because everybody turns around at Talledega at some point). The physics are generally fine in Heat 4 but it looks a tad goofy because the car remains intact with no real smoke effects. That's just my opinion, though.
...and that Sweet Victory idea is truly inspired. ;)
Wicked video, might (probably will) use some of these ideas for my project
No question, a racing game first and foremost needs a decent engine to run on, which should encapsulate the challenges of driving a heavy stock car, while also rewarding skillful driving, so your eutechnyx style suggestion makes a lot of sense. To truly immerse a player into the harsh world of nascar, a perfect game mustn't shy away from giving you a hard time especially as a rookie and throughout your career, like NT04 did 99% perfectly at the start of a career, where your first top 10 felt like an infinitely bigger achievement than any win in the modern games. Also a big aspect of stock car racing is often times nursing self inflicted damage to a decent finish, so my suggestion would be to just go mad with the damage model, not just for the player, but also the AI of course (needless to say it should take much less these days to terminally damage your car). It doesn't necessarily take massive resources poured into cutscenes or new features like interviews (though they would be nice ofc), instead just giving you a real challenge and giving the player special treatment is 60% of the work done.
Hell yeah dude I would get it! Gotta add Magic Carpet ride in there though.
Like all the things you mentioned.
I would add:
Buying and managing engines/chassis along with the crew members similar to 03’
Mixing up the algorithm of the AI so some of the drivers that normally finish at the back, don’t always finish at the back.
Improving or just a complete overhaul of the pit stop. Too easy.
Also introduce communication with your team over the radio. This would be great to combine with the enemy or ally feature
Imagine looking through the soundtrack of this game (if it was real and seeing) Sweet Victory by Spongebob. Also hearing all star in a NASCAR game doesn’t feel right.
The soundtrack needs
In The End - The Royale Concept
Numb - Linkin Park
House Party - Sam Hunt
I have mad respect for your musical taste I heard you playing 3 days grace for this soundtrack of this video
I wish the new games would do retirements and replacements in all 3 series and being able to have up to a 4 car team you can hire drivers for
I think you have some good ideas for a NASCAR game, and if I had time to play, I probably would. Here would be what I want to see from a NASCAR game:
Gameplay:
- NASCAR Thunder 2004 seems to hit the marks on tire wear and grudges/alliances.
- NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup has the Intimidate feature, which I like to have available on certain tracks where the draft is there, but not necessarily what to rely on.
- NASCAR 06: Total Team Control allowed you to work with teammates, and even switch to them if you wanted to help them in a race. You also got to earn skill points as them. I think that's a feature that also needs added.
- NASCAR 07 hits the marks with the adrenaline meter feature, where earning skill points in races makes your car faster and handle better. I also like the driver attributes feature.
- NASCAR 08 and 09 made it easier to wreck someone you were pissed off at.
Playing modes:
- Single race should be how it traditionally has been. Race in any car in any series at any track. Have the player set the race from 3% of the distance, all the way to 100%.
- Career/Fight to the Top: I think in this mode, it should start with a combination of the prologue, where you get in a street race against a top NASCAR driver, and when you beat him, he spreads the word to team owners, and that gives you the chance to do the equivalent to the Allstate qualifiers to see what division of NASCAR you should start in. Then proceed with your career mode. If you race in more than one division, it should give you the option to select which series you want to race for points in. Contracts can range from a certain number of races to multiple seasons, or select races. (Make it the most in-depth with contracts ever in NASCAR.) Then if you want to start your own team, you can. You can make it up to 4 cars in each division, and you can do one of two options: purchase a pre-existing team, or start your own team from scratch. Then you can choose to hire drivers to race your cars, or drive your own car. (And yes, go more in depth with the contracts, meaning, you can make it possible to have Chase Elliott and Kyle Busch both driving for your team if possible.) And make the career mode go on as long as you want to. Give the option to retire as a driver whenever you want, and retire from career mode whenever you want. Also add the silly season with other drivers retiring, and a free agent list.
- Season mode: Choose from any division you want to race in, and choose to either run the pre-set schedule, or customize your own schedule, and provide different options for how you want the champion to be decided, if applicable. (Full season points, Chase for the Cup, or Playoffs)
- Chase for the Cup Mode: Run the final 10 races of the season to determine the champion. You have the option of determining the field based on the 2004 rules, 2007 rules, 2011 rules, or 2014 rules. Then determine who made it in, and how many points they start with if possible.
- Playoffs Mode: This is the game mode where you specifically play off of the current playoff format. You can choose any of the top-3 divisions to compete in, and determine who is in, where you start, and how many points each of them starts with.
- Lightning Challenge: The return of the scenario mode, where you either repeat or rewrite history from actual races that happened.
- Daytona Speedweeks Mode: This is a game mode inspired by WWE's Smackdown vs. Raw games. You can play as real-life drivers during Daytona's Speedweeks in fictional stories, and have them compete to win either the Truck Series race, the Xfinity Series race, or the Daytona 500 as the end goal.
There's more ideas I have, but I gotta get to work, so I'll comment later.
When you said interstate love song, i instantly gave it a like!! I love that song, I listen to that one almost everyday
Good choice of songs! The Trooper and Hail to the King are two of my favorite all time songs
Sounds great. I would add a larger music soundtrack that we can toggle songs on or off to fit each person's musical taste's.
Yeah, screaming into the microphone with voice cracks and auto tune doesn't cover it for me.
I think giving the player full control of the car from from practice to the checkered flag. Like F1 does, I want to be able to drive my car from the garage area to the track and vice-versa and if I win the race, I want to be able to celebrate as along as possible, drive to the post race inspection line, and then on to victory lane.
The Iceberg: *has a legendary idea*
704 Games: Write that down, write that down
I played the NASCAR 08 game and absolutely loved the sound track. Also I think that if you add Bowman Grey stadium and the other series like exfinitty and the trucks. Another thing I would love is putting all of the series including modifieds, late models, and Sprint cars on both pavement and dirt
Hey, you should have said: "This game is only hypothetical. I know they would make it differently!"
4:40 i felt that
One good addition is relive vintage races like 1990 Daytona 500 84 firecracker 400. It would be awesome to race dale Earnhardt’s lumina against Kyle Busch’s Toyota... at Bristol!!
I’d allow all flags, wreck frequencies and the weather delays are a great idea! We’ve dealt with just yellow flags in NASCAR games for years it’s time for a new reality for future NASCAR games!
Our class used sweet victory from SpongeBob for our middle school moving up ceremony 😂
The weather idea would incredible. It would add more strategy to a league I'm in!!!
Another feature I'd like is the option to not allow duplicate numbers. It always bugs me when there are multiple people driving the same number, so it'd be nice to have that feature. Also being able to record your own victory sound!
also make an option to continue racing in weather. like imagine racing at like talladega in pouring rain
Your idea for a game sounds awesome!
i feel like you should be able to link your Spotify/iTunes/whatever music library to your account and play whatever you want while you're racing. i like having some preset songs in the game, but the ability to have whatever you want going will definitely be liked by the fans. you could also enable the ability to browse other peoples' libraries to find new music and introduce a little bit of a social aspect to the game
One thing that made the NR games so good was that you could watch a race without having to participate in it. That should definitely be in a "perfect" nascar game.
I love your ideas
This is everything I’d want in a game. Great video.
Love it. But I’d add a team owner mode where you can purchase charters, and numbers, have a chance to get the big name sponsors and sign drivers to your team.
With the talk of adding old courses and separate series, I'd love to see ARCA get added to the lineup. Springfield Mile, and Duquoin adding to the dirt with Salem bringing the old school style high banks.
Something I recall from a game was the setup where you were put in the shoes of a legendary situation and you had to basically pull off that moment in time. I'd love to see that happen but where the moment in time basically overlaps with the present. If a situation gets close enough to say the pass in the grass or one hot night all of a sudden the visuals warp to old vhs grain and all the opposing cars change to period correct versions. maybe it'd be better as it's own mode but I think it's the coolest thing giving those legendary moments a shine.
Customizability is Key. I want to able to control my experience. If I want to run spectator championships with custom cars, I should be able to do that. Change Driver Ratings? Yep. Let me choose the rosters for each race. Check. The ability to change points systems if I want. Awesome. I don’t expect it because then why would anyone buy the roster update of a new game when the old can be modded? This is why Nr2003 was so good, you could mod it to anything you wanted because Papyrus was done for.
And Free Agency and Retirements in Career Mode...
#AirBaseSpeedwayToHeat6
I love your idea! I would also like to add soft body physics
I love your videos man
In NH4 I like the challenges they have but back in Thunder 2003 you had to drive through real wrecks and recreate real scenarios. Heat 4 has some fun ones for sure but also sometimes they’re ridiculous with the wrecks
Idk, I agree with all you said though
And we need an option at superspeedways of picking someone to pit with so you don’t lose the draft
i would do- Dnf/ realistic damage- Multigroove racing- nascar 15 type paint booth- add custom race options- being able to get 2000s cars as a dlc- get random blown tires and engines- ability to make own tracks and more i’m just too lazy lmao
Throw in stats and driver retirements in career mode and you’re set. Maybe throw in an injury system for fun. If a driver has a hard enough of a crash they have to sit out for a week or few.
What I would add in addition to what you did is 1) add the modifieds and K&N/ARCA series. 2) give the player the ability to race any car at any track. If I want to take the cup series to the bullring at Las Vegas or the modifies to Sonoma, I should be able to. 3) more fantasy tracks. Knocksville, Nashville, Mexico City, Montreal, Texas world Speedway, Disneyland, some of the NASCAR Europe and Pinty Series tracks, including street circuits.
Can we have something similar to “First Flight” From Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War? (Not a remix but something of the same vibe)
I am a huge Iron Maiden fan and I love your pick of the trooper. One thing I would add is a legends mode where you can as drivers from the golden era and before and race on old tracks like Daytona beach and North Wilkesboro and rocking ham and race the old cars
I would love it. Especially if I'm given the option to move the schedule around, doing mid week racing like we've been seeing in 2020, maybe even increasing the season's number of races from 36 to 60 or some other outrageous number. Partial schedules for some realism. I'm a full time cup driver, who does 5 Xfinity and Truck races each year.
we’ve definitely needed a forza-like paint booth in nascar games for some time now
My idea for the perfect NASCAR game:
- Cars and tracks modelled as acurrately as possible
- Every paint scheme
- Every driver who made a start
- Eutechnyx or Thunder styled driving
- Robust online and paint booth
- Fun fantasy tracks
- A good career mode
- MAYBE the team control system from 06 and 07
I would get Turn10 Studios to make a great NASCAR game. I love the Forza Motorsport Series of theirs. I know a lot of people dislike Forza Motorsports, but I like it. Their graphics, paint booth freedoms, buying/sharing others' paint jobs, the feel in race mode (AI needs upgrading, only complaint), number of tracks, number of cars, replays, and way of keeping racing stats. The "number of cars" and "tracks" would satisfy all of the major NASCAR series, past drivers, old tracks, older cars/paint jobs from seasons past... Endless opportunities. With that great foundation already there it only would need to be tailored to the NASCAR world with pitstops, seasons, career mode with teams, setting the car up, and online mode. If they made a NASCAR game and did it right, I would live on it.
great video liked 👍🏎🏆
Excellent Suggestion!!!!
Not a bad idea, but for music, you gotta add some allman brothers and Skynyrd for that true southern feel, maybe gator country and flirtin with disaster from molly hatchet, the ladder of which was the title theme to nascar 98. And you gotta have some of those widespread panic instrumentals from nascar 2001, whenever I think of nascar, that’s what my mind immediately goes to
Weather YES!!!!!!. I have been wanting this for years. Just like real life. Stroker Ace Theme Song as well. I would even pay double for you game.
Tnt would be a great song I agree with you on that one keep it up with the good videos👌👌
This is amazing.
I'd like to see the option to use older era cars such as 80s-90s but all in I'd absolutely get your game 🤷♂️
sounds really great
Hell yeah I would. It would also be awesome if you could create your own race track. Like, if you wanted to NASCAR to race at Japan's Twin Ring Motegi or Fuji Speedway you could create something pretty close to it. Those are actually two tracks I would love to see NASCAR race at someday if they ever decided to race in Japan again. The Twin Ring Motegi oval is a similar size and shape to Darlington so that track probably wouldn't be too difficult to create if you use Darlington as a template. You could be able to upload them for other players to download sorta like the community creations in the 2K games. Another thing I would love is for you to be able to customize actual drivers' cars. Like, let's say if you wanted turn #6 into the iconic Valvoline car you could do that. Or if the paint schemes of certain cars were out of date, you could touch them up and make them into what scheme they're using then.
It would be sweet, it's just sad that it'll probably never happen. Could we also bring back picking your favorite driver and them being on the main menu? Loved that in Nascar 2005.
You just earned a subscriber for the soundtrack. Iron Maiden would be amazing in a game
One thing you didn't touch on was full control pit stops. I just really want to be able to fully control my car at all times. But overall this sounds like a great game. If someone actual could make this I would pay like $200. I'm not joking
For soundtrack I'd add Reckless by Whiskey Shivers, Mustang Sally by Wilson Pickett, and Leave it on the track by John Scargall (that was in Nascar 15). For series, add ARCA and make Cup and Xfinity goto Eldora.
Add a photoshop template option for the paint booth, draw in some of the NR2003 and iRacing painters and you’ll be amazed at the variety of paint schemes they’ll come up with
Hit the nail on the head! Im down for a game lile that
"Sweet Victory from SpongeBob, yes that one"
Now you're speaking my language
To be a perfect game, cars should sometimes catch on fire after a crash. To be a PERFECT game it needs to have EVERY feature in NASCAR racing
A pretty cool secret track in a nascar game would be the old monza oval but thatd probably be a stretch but its be very cool
What I personally feel makes for the best NASCAR games is for the game designers to really think outside of the NASCAR status quo, to really think beyond the current state of NASCAR right now. Allowing for gamers to create their own NASCAR cars, teams, tracks, schedules, as well as having lots of tracks NASCAR currently does not race at, and sponsors NASCAR currently does not have in the sport, would be the absolute best. Another cool thing that can be done is to have actual race announcers and commentators calling the race the gamers run, like a real NASCAR telecast. EA Sports used to do this with Bob Jenkins and Benny Parsons giving calls to every race being played in the early NASCAR games.
So the online is just like iRacing. Mods being admins that can remove players and perform other critical admin actions in the session (yellows, clearing black flags, giving wave arounds, etc.). That would be cool from the standpoint of someone who already plays iRacing.
Otherwise, the gameplay sounds awesome. The soundtrack would be killer. I didn’t know you could combine Eric Church, Coldplay, and A7X and make it sound appealing but you still did.
i would love if you could race in like gen 4, cot, gen 6, and other cars in nascar historys in a video game. even tracks that aren't in the cup anymore.
This would actually be cool. And I thought of some names for it:
NASCAR Throwdown
NASCAR: The Championship
NASCAR: Wheels of Glory
All I want in a Nascar game that has smart A.I, multiple grooved tracks, crash mechanics, and career
2012 and 2011 were my favorite games they weren't perfect but I always played them
4:29 Ah, I see you are a painter of culture as well.
“Heat 4 has pretty good super speedway racing.” *Proceeds to show gameplay with a single file train*
When I was a kid I used to play NASCAR 2013 THE GAME and it was a big part of my childhood so I am attached to it heavily
I would add an option to drive during caution laps and pre race and have to hold your position and also being able to drive yourself down pit road
I know I have a love/hate relationship with the plate tracks on NASCAR 2007. With trucks and Busch series, it seems like you're the slowest car out there even in the draft. Then you get to cup and pull away without the draft.
This was the PSP version. Also, the cup "running away from the field" started in my third season in career mode.
I would also add for where you can make custom paint schemes and send them for the community and have custom tracks that you built to race on
I think you are heading down a good track here. The ally/rival think passed on driver style and not the push of the button definitely awesome idea. The idea of the filly capable paint booth would be a huge touch in a good direction of well. All the unlock able features is a big big move and I would love that like all the paint schemes and tracks from nascar thunder 2002 I think. All the ghost tracks and fantasy is a good idea to pull fans from both generations together in a single game and the trophy case would be cool to see too especially as you move through the career. Also the racing to the rain would be awesome but on the flip side of that coin would you add the xfinity rain tires at all the road courses ?The only thing I would change is your career path. You need to start with something like the dirt to Daytona career and start in a local dirt track and then progress up from there. But you need to complete like three different divisions in that local dirt track and you don’t move from track to track every week except for maybe the last dirt class you need to move up to either a dirt late model or a world of outlaw and that’ll be your choice of which way to go. You only move up after winning the championship too and then from late model or WoO you have to prove yourself in Arca series before getting your ride in trucks and then so forth.
