As a consumer, we all have the right to make conclusions pre-release and wait to see how correct or incorrect we are. Excuse me for exercising this right.
 
At least WRC 6 is coming to save my year of terrible racing games - Project BUGS, Asseto Bad Porta, Dirt Rally No Content, Sebastian Loeb Rally PS2 Evo have all made this past 12 months underwhelming in expectations and reality.

Gran Delayismo? (Poking fun, I love GT.)

So, why is everyone mad exactly? I read the article everyone's going on about, and unless I misinterpreted something, I don't see the problem. They said that the tracks would start on easy tracks from singleplayer, but I thought that they would just unlock harder ones the more you raced, so then you'd eventuality have all the tracks in offline. At least that's what I interpreted it as. If not, well then.

I'd be okay without a track map, as long as we have a split time between competitors, that way we can get a rough idea of who is where.

Still, the main thing I'm disappointed about is the lack of a paint booth. As someone who's been apart of competitions focused around it for the last two and a half years, I really do miss painting cars. Hopefully they'll get one in the next game.

That being said, I'm still intriged by NASCAR: H.E. It's a new NASFAR game after all.

Predictions.....yea! I can understdnd that. But saying it's bad already.. Come on now. From what I seen so far it looks like its gonna be one of the better NASCAR games we gotten within the pass 5 years or so. Anyway we'll see what happens in a few weeks.

Also anybody that races clean and that's on ps4 add me. I'm trying to add some people before this game comes out so i can have some people to race with. I don't got time for a league.
 
It hasn't shown me it's a good game. It's shown me it's better than the Eutechnyx games but that's like saying your child's smarter than an ant, the bar was quite low. I don't want to play a game that isn't good, so unless I'm shown something that would make me think it's good, I"ll pass.
 
DLC info:

http://nascarheat.com/2016/09/01/nascar-heat-evolution-dlc-details/

NASCAR Heat Evolution is excited to announce three different types of DLC; Paint Scheme Packs, Spotter Voices, and Challenge Packs. We’ll be releasing a different mix of paid and free DLC monthly through the end of the year. The first content will be available September 13, 2016. We’ll go into more detail about the Paint Scheme Packs below, but let’s take a closer look at Spotter Audio and Challenge Packs.

  • Spotter Audio: NASCAR Heat Evolution will ship with Bobby Labonte as the Spotter Audio, but players will have the option to download different spotter voices to make their races unique. We plan to release a variety of Spotter Audio ranging from real life spotters to drivers, announcers, and more. On launch day, NBC on NASCAR announcer Rick Allen’s Spotter Audio will be available for $0.99.
  • Challenge Packs: In addition to the 23 Challenges shipping with NASCAR Heat Evolution, new Challenge Packs will be available every month so players can keep pursuing greatness. On September 13, Challenge Pack 1 will be available for $0.99 with 4 new Challenges.

Paint Schemes

Every month we’ll be releasing at least one paint scheme pack for players to diversify their game. One of the coolest features in NASCAR Heat Evolution are the track specific paint schemes. For example, if you purchase Darlington Throwback Paint Scheme Pack 1, the AI cars at Darlington will use the Darlington paint schemes. It takes authenticity to a whole new level.

Worth noting, if all of the art assets are not delivered from the race teams and sponsors in time, certain paint schemes packs will be released in two parts. The Darlington schemes and the Chase schemes are both examples of this. We make the paint schemes as soon as we receive them. We didn’t have enough time to create the schemes for drivers who just revealed their Darlington paint schemes like Kyle Larson and Chris Buescher. You can expect a Darlington Throwback Paint Scheme Pack 2 and a Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Paint Scheme Pack 2 at a later date. The following Paint Scheme Packs will be available on launch day:

  • Darlington Throwback Paint Scheme Pack 1: Joey Logano, Ryan Newman, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Aric Almirola, Kurt Busch, Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson, Trevor Bayne, Austin Dillon, Casey Mears, Danica Patrick, Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards, David Ragan, and Matt DiBenedetto. (Price: $9.99)
  • Paint Scheme Pack 1: Chase Elliott – 3M, Kasey Kahne – Panasonic, Kasey Kahne – Mountain Dew, Dale Earnhardt Jr. – Tax Slayer, Greg Biffle – KFC, Tony Stewart – Code/Mobil 1, Ricky Stenhouse Jr – Ford EcoBoost, Landon Cassill – Snap Fitness, Jimmie Johnson – Kobalt, and Chris Buescher – CSX. (Price: $4.99)
  • Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Paint Scheme Pack 1: Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr, Denny Hamlin, and Tony Stewart. (Price: $4.99)
Pit Pass Bundles

Since this is our first game release, we were unable to have a Season Pass to cover all of the DLC we’ll be releasing in 2016. Instead, we’ll be offering 4 separate Pit Pass Bundles through 2016. Each Pit Pass Bundle will include a bundle of DLC at a discounted price. Below are the details for Pit Pass Bundle 1 available September 13, 2016:

  • Pit Pass Bundle 1: Pit Pass Bundle 1 will include Darlington Throwback Paint Scheme Pack 1, Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Paint Scheme Pack 1, Paint Scheme Pack 1, Rick Allen Spotter Audio, and Challenge Pack 1. (Price: TBD)
Toyota Partnership

Through our partnership with Toyota, fans will receive a free Toyota Challenge Pack and a free Toyota Paint Scheme Pack each month. Below are details for the free Toyota DLC available on September 13:

  • Toyota Challenge Pack 1: 4 new challenges from Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, and Denny Hamlin take you to Kentucky, Sonoma, Daytona, and Indianapolis. (Price: Free)
  • Toyota Paint Scheme Pack 1: Paint schemes include Kyle Busch – Skittles, Carl Edwards – Subway, Carl Edwards – Stanley, Denny Hamlin – FedEx Ground, Matt Kenseth – Dewalt, Martin Truex Jr. – Furniture Row, Matt DiBenedetto – EJ Wade, Matt DiBenedetto – Dustless Blasting, and David Ragan – Shriner’s Hospital. (Price: Free)
Pre-Order DLC

NASCAR Heat Evolution is excited to partner with our retail partners and offer pre-order bonus DLC. All pre-order DLC will be available to all players at a later date. Below are the details of the current pre-order bonuses:

  • GameStop: Players who pre-order through GameStop have exclusive access to Erik Jones paint schemes. Included paint schemes are NASCAR Heat Evolution, GameStop Turtle Beach, and GameStop Think Geek.
  • Best Buy: Players who pre-order from Best Buy will have access to the Sprint All-Star Paint Scheme Pack. Included paint schemes are Kasey Kahne – Drive Home A Winner, Dale Earnhardt Jr. – Mountain Dew, and Carl Edwards – Arris Surfboard, the winning paint scheme that landed Carl on the cover of NASCAR Heat Evolution.
  • Xbox Marketplace: Players who digitally pre-order NASCAR Heat Evolution on Xbox will have launch day access to the Sprint All-Star Paint Scheme Pack.
Phew! There you have it. As you can see, NASCAR Heat Evolution is only the beginning. We look forward to giving players a ton of great content through the end of the year. We’ll see you on the track!

It's a nice addition, but I think that 50 cents per paint scheme is a little expensive.
 
If the Rick Allen spotter voice doesn't include him yelling "CAWSHUN!", I will be so disappointed.

And what's a guy gotta do to get Ward Burton as a spotter!?!?! :irked:
 
I'm still going to buy it because while it is possibly a not very good game I want there to be another one. It was sort of a known quantity that this was going to be a game of reused assets from Eutechnyx, so as long as it isn't worse I'm more or less fine with what they come up with.

I'm debating on which game to start a new career on, DtD or Thunder 03.

Thunder on Legend, it's absolutely brutal in terms of difficulty. I actually have it sitting beside my PS2 for the day I find my memory card again.
 
Let me ask y'all this though..... What if this game ends up like NASCAR 09.... Trash offline but excellent online. How would y'all feel about the game then? Besides having extra series.

Considering online isn't an option for me:

I have almost no interest in playing Online NASCAR, unless it's something with friends, so I wouldn't care if it had a good public multiplayer
 
you would think any company making a nascar game would know by now that majority of users prefer a good offline experience over an online experience.

sports games in general are still offline oriented. one of the few game genres that still is
 
I just wanted to ask that because NASCAR 09 gets so much praise because of its online and that's it. But i see people want a good offline experience as well. I do too of course. From what i seen so far the AI, damage, Career mode and possibly online is what got me excited. I know it's not feature heavy but all those things that we complained about in ETX games seems to be a lot better (talking about the things i just named) The only thing that im still curious about is tire wear and the physics.
 
Sorry for the double post but a lot of gameplay videos are being rolled out today. Some people got the game already. From what I seen so far:

  • AI looks too easy. Even at 105 (max difficulty)
  • Plate racing looks pretty decent. The AI hugs the yellow line just like real life. Also it seems like they get single file on the turns but start moving around on the straights.
  • Other than difficulty, the AI looks pretty damn good
  • Online looks smooth even though the videos i seen so far it's only been two people racing. Need to see more racers in the lobby
  • It will be a day one patch
  • Blowovers seem like they are in the game.
