Anybody else into this game? I got it for Christmas and I'm hooked. I'm still not that good, but I'm working on it. Evidentually I'll go online with it, but not until I get a bit better.

I've been an IRL fan for as long as I can remember, but this summer got into NASCAR. I decided to ask for the game since I liked the idea of being able to play through the other classes: Modified, trucks, etc.

well I'm not a NASCAR fan at all but I got real hooked on Dirt to Daytona. If it's anything like that I might like it. Although I've kind of decided to not buy any EA games recently.

Thanks for the input SK.

Anyhow, Always great to see another new fan of NASCAR. This years EA game is pretty good. I picked it up the day it came out and have played the hell out of it. lots of cool added featurs this year. I love racing at taladega. The Pc Series "NASCAR Racing" has turned out some great games over the years. Sadly, Last years was the last to be released.

Be sure to join the DP yahoo fantasy NASCAR league this year.

great game, I still don't understand why EA removed 4 player support

Racing 3 friends in the same room made for hours of fun, its just not the same with online

Nope, I don't think its very well done, typical EA NASCAR title.


"I've been an IRL fan for as long as I can remember"

Makes me feel old...I remember the first season very well, and the IRL is only entering its 10th season this year.

"sorry, but is nascar that sport where you only turn left?"

Nope, there have been plenty of road courses in NASCAR. All the great drivers have won on road courses. NASCAR is even going to race on the Mexico City road course this year for the Busch series. Its only a all left sport for people that are clueless, sorry.

I'll have to remember that one Joe! :D

I'm still hooked on the Dirt to Daytona on the GC but my brother has been playing the Nascar 2005 on PS2. He highly recommends it so I may add it in a few weeks. If you're an open wheel fan there is a game for the PS2, World of Outlaws Sprint Car Racing......possibly the only title that would convince me to buy a PS2 the next time I have 150 bones lying around.

and fantasy NASCAR racing will be returning in February...........stay tuned!

I watch Nascar. Started a while ago b/c of Daytona USA (model 2). I don't like the Nascar games. I would rather play a rally title or an arcade game.

Been playing it for quite awhile now. Nabbed it on release day, after having sunk alot of hours into 2003 GCN version. Haven't tried on LIVE yet, but still getting tons of fun out of single player career mode. It's surprising how much fun "just turning left" can be.

I was thinking about this today. For all of you that loved the Earlier parts of Dirt to Daytona, check out Test Drive Eve of Destrution. Good stuff.
