NASCAR The Game: Inside Line

[Jason]

The PS3 patch has been sent to Activision for final sign off. In addition  we've also produced a new Xbox patch which incorporates all the latest fixes found in the PS3 version. Subject to approval by Activision Q/A, we're expecting the patch to be submitted this week with a view to being released before the Daytona 500. This obviously depends on approval by Sony and Microsoft.

Additional Online Fixes:

   
• Rolling starts improved
• Lobby reliability and connectivity improved
• If someone is kicked from the lobby due to their connection, multiple people would be kicked instead of just that player
• Further improvements to people being kicked under caution
• Additional caution lap caused by the the host spamming the pit / don't pit button
• Several crashes and freezes

Additional Offline Fixes:

   
• A.I. pitting every 7/8 laps on certain tracks
• Deleting multiple set ups after changing tracks

I received 200 Microsoft points from Xbox Live for some reason, so I actually purchased 3 of the new gen 6 cars. What's nice is that even if you buy just one, you will race against the entire pack of gen 6 cars.

On-disc DLC is the best.

Nascar The Game 2013 $20 on Steam right now

$5 on steam this week.  I'm finally IN.

Now that's how you hold out for a bargain.

NASCAR 14 comes out next Tuesday for the XB360 and PS3...I'm debating whether or not I should get it. Its launch price is $49.99 but I may wait for a price drop.

[Brad Company]

The way last-gen titles are selling, it may be in a bargain bin by Derby Day.

[Jason]

I can definitely see that happen, especially with this title. I'm trying my hardest to hold out for that reason alone.

[Jason]

It seems there are plenty of bugs in NASCAR 14 and I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I'm glad I held off on buying it this year. Maybe I'll change my mind after a patch and price-drop.

[Jason]

NASCAR 14 is now down to $34.99 on Amazon.

[Jason]

Has anyone here played NASCAR 14? The big patch just came out and it's down to $29 at Amazon, so I'm starting to get a little tempted to pick it up.

[Jason]

A second patch was apparently released this week that addressed some of the lingering issues, so I couldn't resist buy it for $29.88 at Amazon. I'm actually considering the Xbox 360 Wireless Speed Wheel to go along with it, but the reviews are very mixed.

[Brad Company]

I had the speed wheel, it worked well with Forza(other than no bumper buttons) and F1. Certainly not as good as a dedicated wheel, but pretty cool for less than 20 bucks.

That was the just the push I needed...just ordered it from Amazon and should have it on Thursday. I can't wait to try out NASCAR 14 with it.
