Sounds like the game is just one big mistake after the other.
No I like the game overall, I think the problem begins with the game was announced what last September to be released in Feburary pushed back to March, that seems real fast to get the game out, who knows when the work began if it was after the announcment or not.

Lots of issues but it is fun. I keep checking the developers boards as there is to be some statement made about all of these issues this afternoon. I hope that they are going to state that there is a patch in the works. This game has a lot of potential. It just seems to have been rushed.

Observation 2 car draft either doesn't work or I'm bad at it
Upon further review it worked a little bit
It's tough to stay hooked up without taking out your partner in the draft. For me I think its because I'm trying to use the controller rather than a wheeel. UPS is to deliver my new wheel tomorrow.
See I've never raced with a wheel so I'm always better with the controller, my main issue though is getting hooked back up if they go around me often i lose them and can't get back in line with them.

Get the wheel kkfan. You will not be sorry. It will help you control the car much better after a little practice.
I'm a poor college student who can't afford a wheel right now, I'm used to the controller.

Statement from EUTECHNYX, (Game Developers), concerning the game issues being reported.....
NASCAR The Game 2011 - Moving Forward
We’d like to thank the NASCAR The Game 2011 community for sharing their feedback on the game since its release yesterday. We’ve had a whole heap of positive comments and congratulations for the efforts we’ve put into making a totally new NASCAR game experience. However, we’ve also had some legitimate feedback on modes not operating as intended or features that members of the community would like amending.
We've spent untold hours testing the game both in and out of house, but we can never get a real picture until it's in the hands of those whose views we most value - the game player.
With this in mind, we are actively working on enhancements and fixes for Patch #2. It's important that we continue to get your feedback and, in order to guarantee that every comment will be seen by the team, we've opened up a specific thread on our forums HERE. This will allow us to ask you any additional questions we need answering when we try to recreate any issues that the community has highlighted.
You can also find a live status of the patch and what issues are being addressed HERE.
Many thanks for your committed input into the community for the game - as developers, we’ll be acting quickly to ensure all feedback is addressed.
The NASCAR team at EUTECHNYX
Hopefully people will be able to post constructive criticism and the issues will be addressed. If any of you out there have the game and experience some of these issues, make you voice be heard on their site. Maybe they can get this thing hammered out. At the very least, they're listening. That's more than could ever be said about EA Sports.

I didn't like the one that I had for the 360 all that much at first. It took some practice but I started doing way better lap times with the wheel. I just ordered a wheel for the PS3 this past week as I purchased this game for that system. I'm sure I'll have to go through another learning curve all over again tomorrow. If all goes right, the UPS delivery should happen in the morning hours and I'll be playing by 2:00pm.

What NASCAR needs, much like the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, and college football/basketball games had for years is for more than one developer have access to the license. Multiple games generally produce the best results. The MLB 2K series was pure crap until the Playstation got The Show as an exclusive and pushed them. Madden has stagnated since they became the sole game maker(and the NFL 2K series blew Madden out of the water).

raise the track bar a little and loosen it up. I don't have the game but thats what I would try first.
Maybe, but I don't know, but its perfectly fine off of 2 and I'm running the same line in both turns.

Bristol, turn four, in the game is effed up. Drive out there in practice and park up along the wall past the turn and look back. You'll see how it juts out onto the track surface more than turn two. Their measurements have to be off on this track. I've seen post after post of this exact problem.
Yesterday they posted what is to be a daily update of issues that are currently being worked on. You can see that it is quite lengthy. The good thing is that they realize that there are issues and they are addressing them. When complete this will be a very good game.

Wow lots of issues, I hope that they come out with a second version of this game with all the issues fixed. No way I'd buy this game the way it is now!

Definitely lots of issues. Fortunately they are listening and working on correcting them. They'll be releasing patches to fix them.
My PS3 Driving Force GT Racing Wheel arrived yesterday and I've had my first chance to race with it. I started the career mode and begin testing @ Daytona. Awesome! I haven't spent time working with the setup detail yet. The default setup worked well @ this track. I set the AI level a HARD. There is at least one level above this. I learned how to bump draft fairly well without taking out the field during the practice modes. I skipped qualifying to start at the end of the field in a 50% length race. It took me about 25 to 30 lap to successfully draft to the front of the field. I think that I was running about 7th when, and I'm sure it was his fault, Greg Biffle took me out. I understand a drivers mentality, it's never my fault.
Needless to say, I brought out the caution and had to restart further back in the field. I spent the remainder of the race trying to fight my way back up front and finished somewhere around that 7th spot.Bump drafting is cool in the game. Your spotter tells you who is and is not willing to work with you. You have to be careful not to slam the car in front of you when trying to hook up in the draft. Once you are locked up together you can close in on other groups of cars. Staying locked through the turns without taking out your drafting partner takes some practice. You can feel the difference in the wheel when you are doing things properly.
Ok so I wasn't crazy that caution lights were on. Yeah I had noticed the retstart issue more as I played its really bad at Infineon you can be 10th and by the time your at the line the leaders up past turn 2
Finally figured out drafting pretty good at the plate tracks winning the fall Dega race in career mode, starting from the pole helped. But 2 car drafted Edwards way out front then pushed him around for 10 laps then passed him coming through the trioval for the win.

Hey guys, does anyone have any idea where I can find info on what wheels are compatiable with the game for PS3? I am wanting to get a wheel, but not pay an arm and a leg lol
