All these different racing games make you learn the way the game wants you to drive. I'm the opposite of you - going all in tweaking setups when I'm fresh to a game stunts my growth. Therefore, I tend to focus on the simple basics first. I want to really get a feel for how these cars and trucks...

Again, you and I just approach it differently. I don't play games online anymore and have no desire to go online with this one. I'm not an engineer or a crew chief. I just want to race. That's where all the enjoyment and longevity comes from for me with these games. To each their own.

To each their own, brother. You and I approach racing games differently. We both paid good money for the game and can play it as we choose. There's no right or wrong way to go about it. If you enjoy career mode and tinkering with advanced setups, by all means, continue to enjoy those things...

I'm not big on career modes in sports/racing games, so instead of starting a career, I went into Championship Mode and started an ARCA season. Gonna try to win my girl Lanie Buice a championship on 100 difficulty (I've been playing on 96 difficulty). 😬 I figured the AI would just stomp me, but...

As long as it's just the smell...otherwise, you might find yourself chillin' in that dream world for a little longer than you planned. :lol2:

I know the feeling. I've been pretty judicious with my game spending these days. This is the first game I've bought since May, and the first fully priced game I've bought since last November. Definitely worth it. ^_^

Whatchoo waitin' on, brother? You heard what my man Jr. said...THE TIME IS NOW! 😁

Good trailer right here. ^_^

Larson's out here making this game look like Ignition, just turning himself across everybody's noses. :XXROFL:

Yeah, before I learned to just mash the gas on restarts, I was playing with the throttle overshoot value and did feel like I had somewhat better restarts when I raised it to 100. I'm back to just running with the default Normal settings for now, which have it set to 50. Only the Cup guys have...

Yessir! I'm also using a controller, and I think ARCA might be my favorite series in the game right now, which is funny, because when I first got the game, I figured I would like ARCA the least. The Cup cars are fun for me on the bigger tracks, and I like the Trucks at most tracks, but man, I...

Because it's not quite 2026 yet, and the game is based on the 2025 season. :lol2:

Some kind of code, I assume, but if so, I wouldn't know what it's for. The last OG Papyrus/Sierra NASCAR sim I played was NASCAR Racing 2 in 1996. All the other NASCAR games I've played since then have been on console.

I obviously don't follow the NBA these days, so from my completely neutral outsider perspective, this is pretty cool. Three of the five Antetokounmpo brothers are now on the same NBA team - Giannis, Thanasis, and now Alex. ^_^...

You can find a used copy in disc form selling for a crazy amount on Amazon or roll the dice with a cheaper used disc on eBay. You can also try to download it from somewhere, but I'm not encouraging you to do that, because

Honestly, if I was gonna go the gaming PC/full sim rig route, I wouldn't even bother with a simcade game like NASCAR 25. I would grab myself an iRacing subscription or the venerable old NASCAR Racing 2003 Season sim with mods for the current cars/tracks and call it a day.

I figured I would like NASCAR 25 and was feeling positive about it going in, but even I didn't expect to like it this much. The driving/racing is fantastic. The only thing I like about restrictor plate racing in real life is the fact that it's an equalizer, and anybody can win one. Other than...

This was a season of ups and downs. It had its bright spots, like the Golden State Cinderella story, and its disappointments, namely all the injuries to the top stars. I saw an ESPN headline that said that the Lynx are the (way too) early favorites to win the 2026 championship. I just hope we...

Congrats to the Las Vegas Aces for sweeping Phoenix en route to winning their third WNBA title in four years. A'ja Wilson, the best player in the world, was her usual phenomenal self. MVP, Co-Defensive Player of the Year, and Finals MVP in the same season. That's never been done before in the...

...and just that quickly, I think I've found something on the restarts. It was mostly a skill/knowledge issue. I don't think the patch affected it. I was under the impression that since you can't just fully mash the gas coming off of pit road with cold tires, you can't mash it on...
