Yeah! I see it on reddit all the time! And it has a SHIT TON of schemes, I'm trying to figure out how to install it so it works on my series S Dolphin emulator.
I believe the reason for no cockpit is because nascar 05 was the first to have all the series in it, and I believe they ran out of time to make the models for the trucks and modifieds, someone on reddit showed some early access where all the series just had the thunder 04 cup car cockpit. It looked goofy as hell in the modifieds 😂
This is my favorite Nascar game. Don't know how much you remember but here's a few tips for fight to the top. 1. No cautions in Featherlite series. 2. Best way to become a villain and piss everyone off is to wreck them and drive aggressively. 3. Use custom for difficulty to customize your racing experience. Hope to see you struggle to survive when half the field hates you.
You should do the career with everything unlocked. It won’t make the difficulty of the career any different but it will use the unlocked schemes for other drivers in races
One of my favorites to play as kid now at 22 I still play it to this day on my PlayStation 2 and I loved that main menu screen it always kickass and the driver models too!
Fight to the Top isn't very deep until you can afford to buy your own team and that's not going to happen for a good while (Unless you REALLY love racing Modifieds don't bother with them past the first season, It's much more fun to run a Truck series team and up). Here's an important tip. If you're racing in the Ford 400 in your second year there's a bug that causes the game to crash (I was on PS2). This only happens in the Cup race, not Truck or National (Busch). You can bypass this one of two ways, by simming Homestead or winning the race. I HAD to race it because I was in a heated Chase battle at the time. You have no idea how many times I had to redo that thing because it kept crashing.
Definitely Fight To The Top was my favorite part of the game! And I would love to see you win two championships in the modified series and the truck’s series but I’m just saying I would love to see you either tie Ron hornaday championships in the truck series or be the first 5 time champ. But love to see this game back and getting it’s recognition
This game managed to come out in that short period after they got rid of racing back to the line but had not yet introduced Green-White-Checkered finishes
04’ is goated, but I have to admit that 05’ was my favorite. I liked the new features for the most part and really did build a game that was made after 04’.
I love that you're covering this game, i love it so much. Was the first nascar game i got into, i still have my original ps2 copy but unfortunatly my ps2 has taken a crap and it breaks my heart ngl. Such a good game
I love ❤️ hearing Bill Weber intro to the races in NASCAR 06 didn’t have 2005 chase for the cup in the UK 🇬🇧 I do have a copy but the ps2 red screen of death strikes
I’ve been alternating between nascar Thunder 2004 Chase for the cup 2005 and INDYCAR 2005 the last couple weeks I havnt had more fun in years and the games are truly better than anything today
There was originally supposed to be a NASCAR Chase for the Cup 2006 but, I think they actually changed the name to just NASCAR 06 Total Team Control for unknown reasons but, there was a NASCAR Chase for the Cup 2006 as you can see from a trailer before it was released as NASCAR 06 Total Team Control. Here's the link to the original NASCAR 06 trailer. ruclips.net/video/cxs-d-QYYWM/видео.html Basically, it was an unreleased trailer as well that I find a bit interesting about this.
The thunder plates give you autopoles in race now which is why you got pole instead of 21st on Daytona, but it's great to see this game get some love. Hope you enjoy it. 😀
i have an idea for possibly the longest series you could do. do season mode, start with thunder 2002. choose a rookie that is still in cup today. play one season in thunder 2002, then the next season in thunder 2003 etc. keep going until ignition and live out their entire career to this point
This man said “It’s Dale Earnhardt, I love him.” Radman… Brother… WHO DOESN’T?!?!?! 😂😂 nah but much love man. Long time fan, been watching you for years now❤️
Same! I don’t remember this track at all, never thought there was content on this game I didn’t know about. Plus shout out to my name WALMART NASCAR for the small loan of 10 million
THANK YOU! My 06 and 07 still works on my PS2, but my 05 game no longer works. I might try this. Only trouble is finding good setups. There used to be a page that I used for 07 before moving the setups over to 06.
I would love if the devs would not be scared of investing more to make a good nascar game instead we have a tight wad of a dev who doesn't want to invest to make a good nascar game
Does it actually give you the 3 things EA missed? As in Jeremy Mayfield, Ken Schrader and Pocono. 10 year old me was very angry about Mayfield being missing as I was a secret enthusiast of his back in the day which is why I drank a lot of Mountain Dew
@@jackhammerjt Awesome! Hopefully Radman uses that mod so we can actually see Mayfield in this game for the 1st time ever outside of times I dream about it occasionally. Just for that my friend, you’ve gained yourself a new subscriber!
Was just about to say I can't wait for when we get to 06, when you talked about the issues with the PS2 emulator lol. But when you inevitably needanother series because there still isn't a good new game, you should try some more forgotten games (good and bad) like NASCAR Rumble, NASCAR Revolution and NASCAR Legends,
I tried hard to get this game running right on my PC but got bad audio issues and a bit of graphic chug. Any chance you could share a screen cap of your dolphin settings?
The most incomplete NASCAR Game of all-time. The omitting of Jeremy Mayfield (which pissed me off the most as a secret JM19 enthusiast as a child), Ken Schrader, Pocono Raceway and Cockpit View which is why I NEVER liked it myself but I’m also not gonna slam the folks who actually enjoy it either as I’d rather play this than any of the POS modern NASCAR games any day so I look forward to binge watching your Fight To The Top Career Mode LP of this
I am currently doing a Fight to the Top and boy do I suck... no surprise because I suck at Thunder 2004 too lol... but it is fun becoming a villain driver though!
This is the best console NASCAR game in my opinion. Can't wait for the career mode.
I second that.
I like Dirt to Daytona myself.
Wait until he realizes someone made HD textures for every series and it rivals the NT2003 Restoration Project in terms of quality
Yeah! I see it on reddit all the time! And it has a SHIT TON of schemes, I'm trying to figure out how to install it so it works on my series S Dolphin emulator.

FINALLY
You got pole because of all the unlocked plates (pole position plates) automatically puts you on pole if you skip qualify
Yup change your driver name to “Open Sesame” and you’ll have them all including the 2 road courses 🤫
This is my favorite Nascar game. Don't know how much you remember but here's a few tips for fight to the top. 1. No cautions in Featherlite series. 2. Best way to become a villain and piss everyone off is to wreck them and drive aggressively. 3. Use custom for difficulty to customize your racing experience.

Really happy to see you doing a series for this game.
Other than a regular career mode I’d like to see a Drive for Five Chase mode with Jeff Gordon.
Hi
my favorite !
I was so obsessed with playing this in high school. I seriously wish that they would remaster it onto ps4 or put it in the game store.
You should do the career with everything unlocked. It won’t make the difficulty of the career any different but it will use the unlocked schemes for other drivers in races
My personal Favorite NASCAR Game. HYPE to watch a career mode that isn't myself.
One of my favorites to play as kid now at 22 I still play it to this day on my PlayStation 2 and I loved that main menu screen it always kickass and the driver models too!
YESSSSSS! This was my favorite NASCAR game growing up!
Same here I still play it lol
Same
This is the game that got me into NASCAR! So many good memories!
I'm sure cockpit view being taken out had something to do with the production cars

Could you also just not race Cup in year 2?

What's crazy about that lake shore drive, maybe pixelated but the building layout is kinda pretty accurate
This was my favorite game growing up and my intro to Nascar gaming. I always loved racing Milwaukee Mile and Rockingham.
I love that you're covering this game, i love it so much. Was the first nascar game i got into, i still have my original ps2 copy but unfortunatly my ps2 has taken a crap and it breaks my heart ngl. Such a good game
This was my first Nascar game....Oh the memories of playing it
You started first at Daytona because the qualifying plate was active, love this game to death cant wait to follow the series!
Finally, the game I actually grew up! Never had NASCAR Thunder 2004, but this is for me!
The game play is very similar to nascar thunder 2004 but I am very excited to the start of this career. Thank you for making video
Between this (fight to the top when you get to it) and the supercross game right now, I’ll be looking forward to every video!
This is the best console NASCAR game. So many extra tracks, challenges, and the fight to the top mode made the game so replayable for me as a kid.
I loved this game as a kid, id be down to watch a series on it
One step closer to my favorite NASCAR game of all time, Total Team Control
I played this to death on PS2. Miss playing this so much
My first nascar game and also the year I was born in 😅 my dad really started me off on some old ones
Thank you thank you thank you!!! This was my favorite game as a kid and I'm so glad we all get to relive it!
12:48 In 2004 Nascar changed the cautions to freezing the field instead of racing back to the line
Imagine someone call one of the great lakes an ocean
My friends who have played this have given all positive thoughts on it so I'm excited to watch this and see what they're talking about
I love ❤️ hearing Bill Weber intro to the races in NASCAR 06 didn’t have 2005 chase for the cup in the UK 🇬🇧 I do have a copy but the ps2 red screen of death strikes

The Single Best Nascar Game Ever PERIOD
The 🐐 returns
06 was one my favs, as kid cause I’d just switch to teammate wreck field😂

Radman: How do I change the map to see my damage
Me: That's the funny part, You Don't
Yes!!!! I feel in love with the Modified's because of this game! So lookin' forward to the chase!
Once again do a nr2003 1990s race at Atlanta
There is actually an improved texture pack that has all the 21+ sponsors including the Busch series
This was the year that they started freezing the field on the cautions.

4:58 You can only win all 4 series simultaneously once. After about 5 seasons, they lock you out of NNS.
I can't wait until he gets to Nascar 09 lol. (If he does)
This man said “It’s Dale Earnhardt, I love him.” Radman… Brother… WHO DOESN’T?!?!?! 😂😂 nah but much love man. Long time fan, been watching you for years now❤️
The amount of instant karma in this race
This. This is the one i was waiting for!
I played thos game alot as a kid, I knew of the open sesame cheat code , but I dont remember the Chicago street clurse, that is so cool

Funny how little Millad knows about the city of chicago lol
my favorite nascar game I've played
NASCAR removed racing back to the caution after Dale Jarrett's crash during the 2nd New Hampshire race
I had this game and NASCAR Thunder 2003 back in the day
YEEEEEES MY FAVORITE RUclipsR PLAYS MY FAVORITE GAME!!!!!
This was the game I grew up on
This was my favourite nascar game
I would love if the devs would not be scared of investing more to make a good nascar game instead we have a tight wad of a dev who doesn't want to invest to make a good nascar game
Devil's canyon my favorite fantasy track
Damn, 06 is my favorite because of the total team control feature
Imma be honest I can't wait until he does nascar 07
Radman, NCRD made a mod for this game with dolphin that gives u HD 1080p schemes and accurate teams and tracks, also ricky booby
*Bobby😂💀

Have this game on my ps2 and it’s sooooo fun !!! I love doing a season and racing as Dale sr. Also love young Jimmie Johnson on this game
Buddy called Lake Michigan an ocean haha
That "ocean/pond" was lake Michigan homie 😂
Duuuude!! Yes! I played this game every day as a kid.

Ooo NASCAR 05 my favorite of the EA games
I hope Iracing/Monster gets the NASCAR license.
Still play this game along with Dirt to Daytona.
glad you brought this back!!!!!
you should make your name Clean Crew so you can have the Mr.Clean pitcrew
Wonder what settings have been tried with 06 and PS2 emulator cause I haven't had any issues playing 06 in PCSX2 at all.
Excited for Fight To The Top
The crashing in this game was great too
Yes!!! This is one of my favorites.
I tried hard to get this game running right on my PC but got bad audio issues and a bit of graphic chug. Any chance you could share a screen cap of your dolphin settings?
Nice, this will be a fun time!

I am currently doing a Fight to the Top and boy do I suck... no surprise because I suck at Thunder 2004 too lol... but it is fun becoming a villain driver though!
Hi radman
I really enjoyed this game.
In my opinion dirt 2 Daytona for game cube is a awesome game
The game that made me a fan ❤️
I downloaded this for PCSX2
Bro. Tell me you did not just say "The Ocean" while being in Chicago 😂😂
Do you ever play the WWE games and if so could we get ONE video showcasing you playing one? Feel like it’d be comedy gold
That crash in turn 4 on the last lap of the Daytona 500 was a little too familiar looking :’(
even got hit by the m&ms car
I was thinking the same thing
Poor Dale killed all over again 😂
looks just like his 1997 car that rolled over
How do you get it to run so smooth on Dolphin? I can't get it to run properly at all
YES
🔥🔥🔥
Sadly there's no Jeremy Mayfield in this game. Or a Pocono raceway.
Yessssss. My favorite one
You should race the Chicago pier in 09 really cool track despite the ai being broken at the track
I love this game, and like the solo game better
13:28 my alarm clock be like
