I'm sorry, at least in nascar drivers have to actually drive the car. GT sucks, because those cars basically drive them selves. You have no clue what real racing is my friend. Let me inform you of something numbnuts, nascar vehicles have no ABS, no tractions control, like your pussy formula one cars do. infact formula one drivers do not even have drive the fucking cars, each car has ABS, traction control, and they are so low to the ground they need not even try to make them turn
lol have you found the option to turn abs and traction control off yet
nice troll bro, but I refuse to believe a real human being could be so uneducated and ignorant, the troll would have been a little more believable if you had thrown ABS and Traction control around a little less, as it is now you seem like you're trying too hard to get an emotional reaction, if you use a different term before the "low to the ground" part instead of ABS and traction control you'll do a lot better, I suggest using "V-tech"
something like:
"infact formula one drivers do not even have drive the fucking cars, each car has V-tech and they are so low to the ground they need not even try to make them turn"
Why in the hell is there NASCAR in GT5 anyway? it's related to everything, completion ratio, trophies, everything, so if I want to 100% i'm forced to play this damn insult to racing, am I seriously asking for too much? keep NASCAR where it belongs, redneckville USA, right between inbred avenue and hicks street, keep this shit away from me and mine.
not that it's a shocker at this point, GT5 has been such a clusterfuck of deception from PD that it's not even close to the game they promised, or advertised, this shit should fall under false advertisement, they promise high detail cars, but half the cars are PS2 cars, they promise cockpit views, half the cars have none, they promise Ultra realistic graphics but give 2003 level crap, every racing game under the sun looks better, they promise racing, they give NASCAR, jesus fucking christ, why even call it GT at this point.
they are bringing nascar 2011 out in feb. bout 2 weeks before daytona.its from activision so it should be an awesome game..they are suppose to have everything redone from ground up.suppose to be like how nascar really is in the game kyle busch will be aggressive like he drives now and people who actually get into it on the track on a regular basis will be the same in the game..everything is set to drop in feb. i cant wait...
I am rather frustrated with GT5 as well. I would go back to gt4 if i had not invested in two new ps3 systems, tv's, steering wheels, and games for my son and I. I really believe Sony screwed the pooch on this one. Too much to discuss about what the game does not include. i.e. same make races, respectable special races, endurance races, test track( drag and top speed), Just to name a few. don't gret me started on the car selection and prize cars..... I wish one could save individual track settings too. I have waited for this game for a long time. i have been teaching my son to drive on forza 2 and 3 waiting for gt5 to surface saying just wait till gt5 comes out forza doesnt hold a candle to it. Boy was i ever wrong. my 10 year old son is not a fan at all asking "how is this games better than forza or gt4 for that matter"? so sad. RIP gran Turismo.........
How much you wanna bet they will start releaing a bunch of pay as you go game packs. There has to ne a reason this game lacks so much. I suppose grees is as good a reason as any. If that is the case give me back the 60 dollars i paid for each "partial" game...
no it is not
To:Game Developers From: Nascar game player.
One feature that EA should of Had and whatever company from here on out that makes NASCAR games. Put some COMMENTARY in the game i believe me and other people feel the same way. If Madden and NCAA can do it than it could be done with maybe the FOX annoucers with D.W. Larry McRenolds and MIke Joy or with the ESPN annoucers. It would add excitement to the game with commentary when we are playing. And not just for season only. PLay now and online should have it to.
I'm glad its not for 360, they have Forza.
oh please.f*** GT5 for not making it for a 360 thats a bunch of bull! they have a bunch of other nascar games for 360 and F**** EA sports for drioping Nascar idk why they did that for. they should of droped Tiger Woods dumb golf game instead who watches golf now days!!!!!!
Downloadable Content boy's, i bet that all the tracks they race on, and the Nationwide cars will be available for GT5, being a long time fan of Polyphony Digital relaxe ok, Nascar is in good hands. For all you whinners and cheaters EA nascar 09 isn't perfect but on online it's better than having nothing.
i have a Xbox 360 and i enjoy NASCAR 09, if you put in the harder difficult, with no adaptive strenght, and no help from cpu it's a very good race, with realistic pit stops, qualifying, yellow flags, crashes and all the stuff real races have, i don't know why people hates that game.
Polyphony Digital is going to bring to nascar games what EA and every other nascar game developer has failed to bring to nascar games, actual simulation quality physics. maybe in this game changing spoiler angle, splitter height, and everything else you can change on the car will have significant effects on the car and the way it handles. this has been lacking in every nascar game to date, it has usually had minor effect but largely been ignored since in real life these changes can be major in effect to change the cars. also for those who havent noticed for the past couple of years every nascar has been exactly the same except for the paint job but i did notice there were a few gordons and jrs which will most likely be fixed in the end product. as for the tracks they most likely will include at least allof the major tracks like daytona, california, lowe's, darlington, talladega, infineon, watkins glen, indy, martinsville, dover, richmond, atlanta and bristol since nascar isn't the only series who use those tracks. dont worry. since when has polyphony released a disappointing racing game?
yeh same here, i have a xbox 360, and this is really disapointing :(
I think there is going to be a problem with NASCAR. I saw like six DIFFERENT cars in the video and the rest were basically duplicates of the six but with different paint schemes. I counted total of like 16 or 17 cars in the video at 1:18. I dont know if that was the middle of the pack or not. but i don't think all the cars are going to be in it. I think it is only going to be duplicates of a few original cars but with different paint schemes. Also, I really dont know if there is going to be another track besides Daytona. I figure if there was they would have showed at least one different one. I hope i am wrong though. I also have a question. The Crovette ZR1 is on the cover of the PSP. Does that mean it will be in the PS3 games as well?
They showed indy, and perhaps other tracks like texas and Watkins and ifnineon all show up in different racing venues so they should be included also.
you guys are stupid. Just think about it. GT 5 will have seperate racing circuits just like they did in all other versions, licenses you have to obtain to get on certain tracks. It is easily expected that they are going to have a seperate nascar circiut that will include all of the races and the chase for the cup done right. This time the graphics will be better, damage better, and most importantly the driving will be extremly amazing. This is going to be the best racing game out their and because it is on blu-ray it will be huge and maybe even 2 to 3 discs. They have delayed the push to ensure it is right and make it big. what game do you know that they released a demo that would of actually sold as a full game. So you all need to actually think before you panic and bash a game. EA screwed up nascar games and that is why nascar sought the gt 5 developers.
I think one of the most important feature that EA should of haved and Whoever puts out these NASCAR games for now on; is COMMENTARY. The game would have alot more excitment if you had Annoucers Like the FOX crew or ESPN crew on the game. And dont tell me they cant do it cause NCAA and MADDEN have it. I know some of yall would like the same thing cause after awhile when your just hearing nothing it doesn't really make the race interesting. Hopefully some game developer reads this and acts on it. Then they can thank me later. Peace Rob
I agree with you....it would be better if they make a seperate game for NASCAR.
If this game only has Daytona, I'm not going to be a happy camper. And also if it has just like a few cars, or no season, no "Case for the Cup", ect. I saw like 5 AMP Energy car, 2 Dupont chevys, and 2 Lowe's. What SONY needs to do is make a separate game with just NASCAR. NASCAR is not and Italian, Japan, or any out of country racing sports, its an American made sport that deserves its own game with everything in it. If SONY games wants to make its money, it needs to make a seperate game for NASCAR.
Im pretty stoked for Nascar in GT5, from what i've seen GT5 has been amazing and i hate how people are starting to doubt it just because its taking so long to release, im hoping they have a car customization tool for all cars in this, i hated playing the same series on the old games 500 times just to get the same car i keep winning in a color scheme i like, they need a paint shop or customization tools, and for all the Nascar fans i do believe there will be many more than just Daytona and Indy, i mean look at the past, GT4 had notorious tracks like Laguna Seca, Motegi, even the 24 hour Le Mans track, plus many more Formula 1 tracks, im sure they'd have no problem securing more Nascar tracks, I love the idea and I'd love to see them branch out even MORE, maybe to motorcycle and even speed boat racing maybe? Just an idea, dont crucify me for it xD, i love the Nascar addition, i love Gran Turismo, Forza is well off my wish list, GT5 all the way...
Is anyone worried about this? I mean look at the daytona scene...they are all those cars and then fantasy cars. Also, i am worried about how many REAL nascar tracks they will have. I know that they have the rights to daytona but thats it... I hope that this license isn't exclusive!
yeah i know they even said that there is a section where u can go off road with a nascar..... i reallly hope someone is lieing about the offroad thing...
Man, can't wait for this. I've been saying to myself if Sony got the rights to NASCAR the game that would come from it would be amazing and it's looking to be just that. Hopefully this will also shut people up about NR2003 being the best NASCAR game ever. This will probably also top Forza 3, but Forza has the paint feature that I don't think GT5 has. Can't Wait.

ok people the reason why NASCAR is in GT5 is because they race...that is what GT5 is all about. You want to be a rounded driver you drive anything and everything...they have go-karts in the game...form of racing. I hope they add motorcycles and drifting and they would have a package for everyone. And NASCAR isnt just driving in a cicle. there is alot more endurance to it then you think, if you think its so easy then you do it trust me alot harder then you think. and if you think the guys are dumb that are in the cars think again.
