NASCAR 25

[ElectricNaz]

Downloaded this yesterday (PS5). Anyone else playing?

Early thoughts are this is pretty good, already had 10 minor patches and looks like they keep coming, nevertheless even in its current state I've been enjoying it. In my head it's probably a £30 game rather than a £50 game though.

Graphics aren't world class but it drives so much better than the older NASCAR Heat games etc... And the pack racing is pretty fun. Career is pretty bare bones though, you race, fix the car, sign sponsors, buy upgrades, race, repeat.

Will try it with the wheel at the weekend and see what that's like.

I used to think oval racing was boring, so it's very strange to be having much more fun on those than the road/street circuits. Some of it is probably due to the awful brakes on these cars (and the weird track limits punishment system). Still getting to grips with the strategy, I don't know when to pit and when to stay out, never mind all this stage stuff. Need to watch some actual racing.

I mean, you're racing at near full speed, in curves mostly, negotiating tight traffic, so yeah i never understood the boring part.

Lots of discussions on it over here. Very enjoyable game for sure
