What are you hoping for with the new NASCAR console game?
New Project Grid 3 game reveal from Code masters Studio and electronic arts game. Along with Indycar,IMSA,Trans Am and NASCAR
Complete paint booth, but I’ll accept a quality racing game
Physics, manual pit driving, good AI, and a stable online multi-player.
Mod support for console and a real paint booth and custom schedules
A paint booth on par with the Eutechnyx games.
We need good AI, no bugs, a decent career and a paint booth. To add to this, the AI should also be able to wreck in a way that's natural and realistic, heck, let them cause the big one with eachother if it's natural and not done in a buggy or broken way.
Iracing does have quite good Ai as it is so if they can incorporate some of that theres a good chance
Paint booth is a secondary issue. Not necessary… the other things you mentioned are correct.
Would've love a NASCAR game with great physics where sometimes a car doesn't collides with another and behave like a ramp buggy from GTA Online. Which is, one of the things what I'm hoping for this game.
I might be the only one who thinks this but they should have a lot of the schemes we missed by not having a new game the last few seasons
You're asking for too much
Things I would love back in a nascar game. Ordered from important to not required
1: Car Radar from nascar 11-15 VE
2: setups from the 13-15 VE.
3: Allies and rivals from thunder 04
4: exhibition races.
1. The ability to customize drivers stats
2. Mod Support for Paint Schemes
3. A dedicated Stat Tracking Page
4. Progressive Ratings
5. Owning Your Own Team, Hire Drivers, Change Manufactures etc
6. Friend/Foe Rival System for AI Drivers. If one driver wrecks another there is going to be retaliation
7. Fantasy Tracks (Backwards Talladega, Old Spice Raceway, etc)
8. AI drivers will bump you out of the way if you are blocking too much
9. The Game booting Radman offline whenever he logs in
@@TactShooterNumber 9 sounds amazing 😂
@@TactShooter😂
We also need lightning challenges from the thunder games and heat games to return!
No 9 is so important, Radman is an embarrassment to the Nascar community, his gameplay commentary is like a 5 year old.
It's best if we remain skeptical and ask questions until we start seeing gameplay, long demo videos, and ultimately, the finished product on full display
I just want something I can sit down and have fun with. iRacing has a reputation for being a little on the sweaty side, and I just do not have the time or the energy to get good enough to not ruin everyone else’s day. Give me something I can turn on and play with my kids without teaching them any new 4 letter words. The Heat games were not it.
They could do both. Arcade mode and Sim mode and somewhere in between "simcade" mode.
@@nomadman5288Both would be fine. Hell, it could even lean a little closer to the sim side of things, so long as there was an offline option.
@@nomadman5288 Kinda like GT 7
Iracing's rating system does exactly that. If you're not "good enough" you will race others your skill level and not the sweats.
@@jayskibb8026nah im like 3500 irating and theres a lot of sweats lol
0:01 lol that’s me in the 18!
Cool to see NR Night in America footage in this. This means I was in an Iceberg video baby!
yippee
Hey, I know of you from NR Night! I hope you start getting some better luck in regards to things you can't control. Good luck on the track!
@@lobotomyscam1051thanks man and yea I hope my luck turns around too lol. I’ve been getting faster just need more luck! 🍀
It’s pretty sad when we just want a functioning game at this point. With iRacing at the helm though, the game should be good.
Well, Iracing is at the helm but it's monster games making it. Meaning, the same guy the heat games. Granted they make a pretty nice dirt racing game.
"When inside line came out, I wasn't even in high school yet"... that line hurt me lol I was in the Marine Corps when that game came out
It sucks getting old lol. 2014 was a decade ago.
Just a competent product man
one somewhat overlooked aspect to the recent NASCAR games is the incredibly mediocre soundtracks - think about what the first things you remember are about the great games from the 00s, they all had solid soundtracks with licensed songs from well known artists that gave them that extra bump of energy and adrenaline; times are different now with what's available that is currently being released in the music industry but it's something I hope they can at least start in the right direction on with their first game.
Late bloomer is good in heat 5 though
Still listen to Fenix Tx's rendition of Get Outta my dreams from NASCAR 03
I always liked dirt track bandit on heat 3 or atleast I think that’s the one
Something that's not mentioned, they opened a dedicated chat in the official NASCAR discord server asking what we hope to see in the game, and they've had great responses and feedback both ways
What about crash physics
Chase For The Cup 2005 is the last Nascar game l enjoyed. So twenty years later I might be excited for a game again. Hope the career mode has better stat keeping and a trophy room. Also, it be nice if they release around the Daytona 500.
I love the career mode in that game it is a progressive career mode, it starts in 2004 and runs 20 years through 2023 and it is awesome.
The engine matters. But it does NOT determine the quality of the game. Developers can make great games with unity, unreal and their own game engines. Nice update video iceberg! Very excited for the next NASCAR game, hope it’s not another copy paste bland series!
All a Good game for me needs is, Good career, ignition paint booth, roster changes, and multiple paint schemes for every car.
Something I'd like to see is before the race after you qualify you can fail pre-race inspection and be sent to the back and during the race your crew chief could come over and say we got a loose wheel come pit or a tire randomly blows on track while racing. I know these changes might be an annoyance to some but I think adding these would add an extra layer of authenticity and there can be a place in settings to keep them or turn it off
One thing to keep in mind everyone. Because its a console game this cannot be at the level of IRacing, for everything. Iracing when cranked up can be a significant load even on top end PCs and the consoles are not near that level of raw performance. So Measure your expectations they will be limited by the consoles essentially available horsepower to run the game. I am sure they know that and will still make a great game just don't expect a full scale sim experience like IRacing
At least cars won't blink out on console and there won't be rednecks yelling at others as if they're Harry Gant.
I can guarantee you that iRacing NASCAR is a Very Close 2nd when it comes to games I'm looking forward to playing in 2025 (You can all take a wild guess what #1 is on that list) and I'm hoping All 5 Series is in the game with Xfinity, Trucks, ARCA and Modifieds as DLC Content at the very least

@@G_PTYNicolasCMP Here's a Hint: Lucia & Jason
@@G_PTYNicolasCMP nr2003 was made by iracing
@@DaLostSloth actually it was nr that made iracing
@@NASCARFAN93100 My brother, whose name is Jason, dated a girl named Lucia for a long time. They broke up because their careers have them on opposite coasts.
We need to see gameplay to make a real judgement of the upcoming NASCAR game but put it this way, it'll be an upgrade from anything Motorsport Games have ever done.
Looking forward to it! However, I would love to see vintage stock cars featured as well. it'll be nice to drive around in a Torino, Monte Carlo, or Lumina.
The vintage cars from the 80s and early 90s were the best.
TL;DR: Development of the NASCAR console game is to be headed by Monster Games, the same people behind the NASCAR Heat series, the WoO game and the SRX game. Assets-and likely physics-from iRacing are to be used in Unreal Engine.
Nascar Chase for the Cup 2005 is the best Nascar game IMO. Wish we had another game like it
Well if you think about it, the Heat Games have the similarities. The only thing is you can't buy teams or unlock thunder/chase plates
@H0LLOW_PRIV Also somehow a worse career mode and somehow less car customization
@zedanide6984 unfortunately yes. At least it's fun to drive!
NASCAR thunder 2003 was my favorite!
04 is way better/fun I’ve never understood the love for 05
Besides the obvious things we all want in the game, id like to be able to race different generation of cars. Being able to have a race with 60s, 80s, 90s and other generation cars would be pretty cool
That’s what I just commented lol I guess we have similar interests
I just want to actually run a race without the game crashing 😔
I’ll be excited to play it in 2025
I really can’t wait because the best overall nascar game in my life, on console, was Thunder 04. You could hear the track announcer talking about what was happening in the pits when you stopped. It added so much realism to the overall experience. The problem was PS2 racing games had no kind of precision steering wise. If they would remaster that one & leave it be except better graphics & fixing the steering issues of the PS2 era, it would be huge. People who weren’t around then, like yourself, would love it imo. I still want something new that’s worthy, but a remaster of Thunder 04 would be special for many of us older fans.
I’m hoping for what Codemasters has done with the F1 games. I also liked NASCAR 15 with how the cars handled, still have it today. I think how the AI is and how it behaves in combination with how the cars drive will be big. I thought the AI for Heat 5 was ok, especially at superspeedways, but I hated the car handling, wasn’t realistic. I felt like I wasn’t driving it like a stock car in ‘15. I’m cautiously optimistic, but I’m also keeping things in perspective. I will say I have a lot more faith in iRacing than that other company.
I'm pretty optimistic about things, for several reasons.
1- IRacing and Monster Games have plenty of experience, something Motorsport Games did NOT have.
2- Being able to use IRacing assets such as car models and tracks eliminates so much time and resources that would normally go to building a game from scratch and not having any assets at all.
Just developing the cars and tracks alone is something that would take another developer 1 to 1.5 years.
3- IRacing knows the disastrous Motorsport Games saga, and will definitely do everything in their power to avoid following their tenure with a disappointing product. You can bet they won't release an unfinished product, because they understand that consumers are fed up with years of disappointing titles.
The game engine has always been an overblown issue, and what really matters is who is working on the game.
I love that you showed a clip of Muhvic getting spun on the final turn because that's how he wins races.
I'd love to see all tracks and cars from the 80's until now.
Good career and paint booth.
Smart AI with rivals.
MULTIPLAYER AND SPLIT SCREEN IS A MUST
And ai wrecks that can take them out
man that dude leading the first race is really cool
He was pushed up to the wall last week heading to the finish line. He should've won and NR night needs to stop allowing Wreckfest on the final lap.
@@lobotomyscam1051 yeah that wasnt fun to say the least, love dmos and was happen it was him who did it to me LMFAO
Since this will be, if I'm not mistaken, the first NASCAR game for nex gen, it'd be pretty neat if they did like a Dale Earnhardt pre order bonus or a dlc. Throwback style cosmetics would be a cool option too.
As Mike Polk would say "We don't expect this to be good, we just expect this to be PLAYABLE."
Im just hoping they bring back a paint booth like nascar 09 or IL. As much as i wish i dont thimk we will havr a career like the thinder series.
The most important thing for me, minus a bug free release, is good ai. Ignition's ai was not good. They only ran one line, and the plate track ai was bad. The Heat 4 and 5 ai, especially on plate tracks, was not that bad. We need really good ai with multi-groove racing and ai that is aware of the player. To me, the quality of the ai will make or break this game.
Well they were using the ISI motor engine which was made by Rfactor 2 which is and still a bad game before Motorsport Games touched it
I trust iRacing and monster games, they knocked it out of the park with WoO
Beyond those basics I just want customisability. Turn on or off stage racing and play offs. Custom season calendars in career mode. Lots of road and short track DLC than I can run on custom calendars in career mode.
I will say I always thought Monster Games did a solid job from 17-19, it wasn't anything too over the top but it always felt like a solid enough game that I could pickup when I wanted to turn some laps.
I got myself NASCAR Heat 5 last week. I deleted Grand Tourismo Sport to accommodate the NASCAR game.
My favourite experience thus far was the Sega Arcade cabinet decades ago. My favourite race game is Grand tourismo 2. I do a little real life kart racing at grass roots level and won a championship. That’s my experience. I am not a sim racer.
Okay: No regrets. I have loved playing heat five the last few days , even if I get trolled into the pits , the overall experience has been a extremely fun time.
I finally painted my own livery last night on all class cars.
I am holding off on the updates until a few of my mates join in with getting this game but I’m looking forward to downloading them.
I am new to NASCAR and it’s mostly due to the melon man’s exploites and Blaney’s colour way.
I feel that NASCAR heat five is a good introduction and I look forward to seeing what the new title will manifest but I am concerned that it won’t look as realistic as Heat 5 because UT engine never looks realistic to my eyes and is better used for sci-fi and fantasy titles.
I'm cautiously optimistic, but need to see more, and don't really expect to for a while considering how far away release will be. There's a big difference between a high-end simulation on computers and a good console game. But they do at least have a good foundation to work from. Focusing on the game's driving model is definitely a good sign. If it's not good, it doesn't matter what else the game has. My guess is it will be very rough in at least one major area since it'll be the first in the series (hopefully a series), but as long as the foundation's good, it'll be a good sign.
Something i always thought would be cool is that if it does have a paint booth its more like '15 and lets us create at least 15-20 Custom cars from any manufacturer, but my idea would be to allow us to make a custom race and add some of our custom cars in it as ai. (EXAMPLE) If i create Dale Srs car and Carl Edwards car and i play as any driver in the game or another Custom car i could add Dale and Carls cars as ai drivers
i know it’s a far reach but i’d love a team mode where you operate as a team owner upgrading ur teams car or cars signing drivers getting sponsors and you could drive the teams cars basically like madden franchise almost
Above all, a career mode with good owner features is my biggest hope for the game. Being able to buy charters, hire drivers, and work on sponsor deals would be a really fun way to play career, and would cater to a whole new type of player. It’s a stretch, but a crew chief mode/option would be neat, being able to strategize between your cars and maybe those of other teams for pit strat and the like. Something like the g1 manager games, but with the ability to ask other teams to work with you would be really cool.
Also, multiple career saves would be icing on the cake.
Realistic ai crashes or ai crashing more especially at suoerspeedway would be great plus bump and runs or smth at short tracks
Would also add in the feature where there’s a random chance the ai gets totaled due to mechanical failure such as blown engine, oil leak, transmission busted, tire pops out from the car causing them to spin out while it’s free running like a hazard, and a blown tire or two
@@dandrelowery3714 yea
@@dandrelowery3714heat had a that but it wasn’t that good and just knocked out a car at a time
If this game is the same quality as the World of Outlaws game I’d never stop playing. Career was simple but great and the thrill of racing felt legit.
I'd love to have a career mode that allows you to start in late models (CARS) and work your way up, either by earning accolades and/or sponsopships... would be cool to compete in every series before being in CUP series, similar to how Iracing does it.
That’s kinda what heat did but I think it would be better to do street stock dirt cars as a local driver like dale Earnhardt did
I'll say I'm generally optimistic about a new NASCAR game!
I'd like for some previous things to be included such as a rival system, where instead of the driver simply labelled a rival, have them kinda make your race a living hell kinda thing!
One other thing I personally desire to have in a NASCAR game is the 'Paint Booth' brought back, kinda like NASCAR: The Game (minus the occasional crashes lol), I'll be honest that I don't expect to see it in the new game, but if this new one goes well enough, who knows, it may get included down the road(no pun intended)
I know this is most likely not realistic for any NASCAR games but I kinda hope that NASCAR 25 has things that happens in real life that is have realistic Weather conditions including having Rain Delays lightning Delays ETC and have a choice when that Happens where you can ether Wait it out and see if there is a window to get the race in or Postponed the race if it continues to Rain and be able to Race in the Rain on Road Courses if it Rains at a Road Course race
Holly cow I am sooooo happy I can't wait I been waiting for years and years for a nother great Nascar car game thank you thank you 😮😮😅😅😅
Nascar 09 is the last nascar game I truly enjoyed. Like yourself I was a freshman in high school. Its unreal. It was the first online game I ever really played. I'm hoping this new game helps get me back into video games. The 09 game had an amazing online community. I was well known in the game. It felt good to make friends in the game. That's kind of unheard of in today's day in age
PS2 or PS3 version?
@@nuckerball1259 ps3
I hope they bring back replays so you can see why the caution came out and also it would be cool if we can control the car under caution
One more thing very important DO NOT PRE ORDER THIS GAME.
I feel more confident about this game simply because iracing has a lot to do with it. To correct you though, the last truly great nascar console game was Nascar Dirt to Daytona, PC game was Nascar Racing 2003. EA's nascars games had a run in the mid 2,000's but once they stopped In 2009, its been pretty slim pickings ever since. I have high hopes for this next nascar game, but i will wait for reviews before I spend a dime on it.
Ignition is NOT BAD, the heat games are way worse. Ignition drives pretty alright, the only problem is that it doesn’t have split screen and there aren’t many people online often. I don’t l know that I’ve ever done a race with AI though.
Also, look at NHRA our only new game is sooooo much worse than any nascar game, so we need a PSP
A career where you can own a team and work your way through the different series would be nice. Also being able to have a second car/truck and be able to hire other drivers
There is going to be bugs in the game but most games have bugs
It is nice that this Nascar Console game will be developed and possibly available in 2025. I hope they make it as realistic as possible.
Talking about offline racing with AI, Some of the recent Nascar games that I tried don't do actual pit stops during a long race. Most the time the cars don't even show going into the pits, at least the ones I tried. Maybe I am doing the current games incorrectly. Second, be able to set the number of cars to race against instead of doing a full field of race cars all the time. Last for the PC, I hope this new 2025 game will have VR support.
I was spoiled from the past Papyrus Nascar games being so realistic in how the races operate. I did allot of online racing with Papyrus games and on free servers before IRacing came along.
Anyway, we shall see how this game does in 2025. Maybe when this is done, they will also do a good Indycar game since IRacing has all the licensing now for both series.
Take care.
I for one, am both VERY excited and fairly cautious about all of this. As soon as I heard iRacing was getting involved I knew we would be getting a better product. However, how much better is obviously to be determined. I don't know really anything about Monster Gaming, but I feel I could safely say that whatever this collaboration brings about, is gonna be better than what we've had in the last decade at least. I'm also optimistic that, even if their first product isn't quite satisfactory enough for the majority, they will listen to what they need to improve on and actually make efforts to do that. iRacing are have ALOT of weight behind their brand and are obviously very smart and passionate about making the best, and most realistic product they can. So I think we are all in for a fantastic treat, but, I could be very wrong and have prepared myself for that.
And when this game does come out, there will be glitches. Every game has glitches. How Monster Games handles them is what will matter
Id love a good silly season. Drivers changing rides or series. Also the exhibition races that heat avoided like the plague
To me, the actual racing in heat 5 was pretty good. Better for the 2020 cars in game than the 2022 cars. Braking was always an issue though, especially at road courses. The car literally yanks to one side or the other, very unpredictable braking.
Man I miss nascar inside line. If I remember correctly that was the year you could save your setups throughout your career.
I see no reason we wont get a game that runs good, looks decent, and has at least the top 3 series (i dont see them putting arca in because the iracing arca car is not the one that is ran in the irl arca series).
What would make the AI better is a Madden style rating system for both team and driver. Team and driver both get an overall score based on individual traits. Team level, engines, chasis, aero, equipment reliability, and pit ratings. Then each driver is rated on skill by track type, how they manage their car, patience, etc. That way when silly season happens in career a good driver could make a bad team better and vice versa.
I'd love to see some of the features from iracing like the paint booth I think we need that also It wouldn't be bad to have something like their irating in online play and league racing but maybe not as harsh overall I'm cautiously optimistic I know we are gonna get something good that they can build on but how good is the question in my opinion
I’m fairly confident that this game will meet expectations. Can’t wait
Love iracing , been driving in the NASCAR races,season etc. since 2013. This looks great I just hope they keep the racing etiquette rules and don't dumb it down. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
I'm very optimistic about this. Proven pedigree from IRacing's assets and Monster Games past, focus on Driving and Career (even if we get the basic SRX game career I'll be fine). Also they are giving it time to be developed, so that's nice.
I forget what game it was I think it was NASCAR '08 from EA Sports but I remember they released a Photoshop template where you could paint your own car and import it into the game. They need that again.
Honestly its a great start and i need little to no convincing to know its gonna be good after playing SRX and having a ball and a half of fun with it and i totally see the title being Dale Earnhardt Jr's Dirt to Daytona XD
Honestly a nascar game with similar quality to the f1 games would be awesome. Aarava makes jokes about how bad f1 22 was and it is miles better than any nascar game of the last ten years
awesome, finally a chance of nascar game worthy of the sport
Something new that doesn’t need to be overlooked is as dale jnr said “story lines” like I see iracing has great driving mechanics but like we lack excitement in games. I know it can’t be Grammy award winning but like don’t give us no screen shots of dialogue and expect us to be emotionally drawn in. A whole experience is what we want.
I want a solid AI with difficulty, if you are doing a race in race mode it should allow you to save the progress you have done in the race before halfway. Different divisions, set your own race distance, rearview mirror and proximity radar, and show the race results with points scored/laps led/fastest lap etc. Basically, look back at past games and nitpick. Even design a track like in Tony Hawk Pro Skater!
i like the handling physics to be more like GRID, arcadish but great for console
Since theyre bringing in the iracing assests I hope they do a system like dirt to daytona with the street stocks, then late models then cups, or something along that, just hope we get some sort of a local series along with the cup stuff
Talking about dirt to Daytona that game needs a remake
I’d like to see a league option for multiplayer where the cars can actually get loose with contact
Also need legends cars....Dale Earnhardt #3 is a MUST!!!
The only thing i have to say is that the World of Outlaws is a fantastic game... but I really hope the career mode is a lot deeper for the Nascar game
What I want in the game is realistic Superspeedway racing
Paint booth
Fantasy tracks
Pre race introductions
Post race outros
Good career mode
Real tv networks in the game
What I would like to see is full on custom race setups and full paint booth.
I feel like one of very few who didn’t absolutely hate the Heat games. They definitely aren’t to the same level as the early 2000s games and then inside line like you mentioned.
Played A TON of inside line. I felt the first heat game was acceptable for a first iteration and the 2nd kind of sucked so I didn’t by 3, 4 again kind of meh but I got it free however I didn’t mind 5. My only real complaint in heat 5 career was that you can’t make ANY CONTACT without getting other drivers mad and becoming rivals, and it includes bump drafting at super speedways. How else are you supposed to race super speedways? So I had to really go out of my way and sacrifice lap time to avoid even getting exhaust gas on another car door to door.
We need a good career and online modes. I would love to see the trophy rooms back, continuous
Stats for all drivers through out the years like nascar 04, I liked looking back 5 years in past seasons and seeing how my competitors did. If we get different series like trucks and Xfinity series I’d like to hire drivers to run in those series like 05 chase for the cup. Make the Process of building up your team and cars longer I don’t want to get in and start winning off the bat I want the struggle of getting that top 10 top 20 finish.
The damage is another thing make it reality if I hit a wall head on or get in a pile up make it were we do have to retire or for people that don’t like that a quick repair button! I haven’t played a new nascar game in years I’m old school and love dirt to Daytona, thunder 03 and 05 and chase for the cup I still play those career modes to this day and I want to relive that again!
For the online make it like iracing give people ratings on how they run if they are people that wreck all the time bring their license down if they are clean drivers bring their license up I really liked that about iracing! I don’t wanna jump on a server and be wrecked on the first for no reason even though you can’t stop people when they do that.
Shit I just want private lobbies back. Nascar ignition really hurt leagues, an it would be nice to get off heat 5.
If they through the old NR2003 physics in there, I’m buying it
Maybe like a Team Owner mode similar to franchise modes or the F1 Manager game
Iracing I think it's the best thing for NASCAR console gaming because of the access resources ect
i have been racing NASCAR games even before EA got their hand on it, and really i am skeptical about this as i have , seen the evolution from 20 to a full field and i have to say that the best for me was 2000-2003, and my main thing is : NOT EVERYONE HAS A STEERING WHEEL! what about being able to steer the with a digiting stick? what about being able to really create your own car with your own graphics, and the ability to form a league? let's give those who want to be a NASCAR driver, but can't a real opportunity to fulfill a dream
I may be in the minority here, but I really enjoy Heat 5. But I hope this new game does have better AI and difficulty settings, bc that’s what bugs me the most abt it
Should add the Iracing feature where you can download any skins from the community and put it on to your car idk lol
I want a gamemode where you can make your own team and go from a back marker to a championship team and i want good driver moves like the F1 games
NASCAR 25’ should be the end all release of a NASCAR game, do something like Eutechnyx did, just release the new cars every year for a lower price, or even make it. Kinda like how Forza Motorsport 8 tried to do
As a fan of the Resident Evil….The Unreal Engine has kicked ass for gaming. I’m so looking forward too see what they can do for NASCAR with Iracing
With all the iRacing assets and expertise, they *should* be able to nail the handling and track feel. Hopefully they can put significant effort into good AI; ideally realistic, but even just something that’s fun to race with is fine by me (the EA NASCAR Thunder AI might not be considered very realistic, but it was a heck of a good time!)
Speaking of those EA games, the Fight To The Top career mode in NASCAR 2005 was absolutely perfect! Just copy that to a tee and I’ll be ecstatic!
So glad to see this’ll be coming to PC as well!
Career mode from dirt to nascar, and ability to built your own teams!
All I want is for this to be a super buffed nr2003 would be a dream come fucking true man.
I want accurate physics and smart AI, however, most importantly the controller needs to be a good part if not the majority of the turning mechanic so it’s more realistic and smooth instead of rigid.
And please, be immersive. Don’t cut corners like recent games did with the pit crews, for example.
Heat5 was the best of the heat series imo but the ground work was done by the previous name
In Career Mode, When you start a team, you should be able to buy teammates when you have the apportunity
I want historic rosters. Would be great to have an eighties and nineties option.
Technically, Nascar thunder 2004 was very well loved all around.
The biggest thing I want is better crash models. Personally I think the crash models have been lame since the days of EA. I know the biggest focus in a racing game is supposed to be the racing aspect. But when I flip through the grass because I made a mistake. I wanna see my car destroyed. I don't wanna see minor cosmetic damage that looks like you could still easily keep driving.
