Nascar the Game 2011, Top Spin 4, Tiger Woods 2012

Is anyone planning on picking up any of these games and playing?

I am thinking about picking up Nascar just because I am a huge nascar fan and it would be cool to run some laps. I’ve heard the game is not great, but that it’s a good start. Top Spin 4 is supposed to be an excellent game with the AI being better than AI in any other game. I’ve only tried playing in real life a couple times, and have never played a tennis game… But I’m thinking hard about this title… TW2012 seems to be polished and made some improvements from last year….

I think I only have time to play 1 of these games, so I’m leaning towards Nascar. But top spin 4 and TW12 are both supposed to be excellently built games.

I picked up nascar 11 this afternoon, havent had a chance to play it yet with the gf's friends over here. I did hear that you can customize your car in game better then the EA nascar games, but you cant paint one in say, photoshop and import it. thats gonna suck, but I can deal with that.

I might try out Tiger Woods, but I played Top Spin on the first xbox and its just not my style of game. not much of a tennis fan.

ok, well I just spent 2 hours trying to paint a car. No manufacturers decals or headlight decals as promised, they are coming out in either a patch or rumors as a dlc. gameplay is good, there are some bugs, like I was racing at Daytona, got spun out and turned this way and that, hit the wall slid about 50 feet backwards and no caution. a couple laps later Im running 1 lap and a half down, go into the pits and BAM! caution for debris. Looking at the reply, Kyle Busch barely got tapped by Bowyer and just ever so slightly fish tailed for the caution. Another thing, the AI racing (drafting, bump drafting) is superb. AI when they have to pit, idiotic. For some reason, they didnt pit on ths caution, but like 3-4 laps later, I think it was about 15-20 lead lap cars. I didnt try online yet, but Ive heard bad things about that too. Its fun though, better then EA IHMO if they fix the bugs. This is a step in the right direction.

the dev team is going to address the issues tomorrow so it seems they actually care about their product instead of just selling games(EA)

Awesome!!! I had heard about some of those bugs, but like you said it is supposed to be addressed with the patch. I picked the game up last night, but did not get a chance to play it. I plan to put some hours in tonight...

Are you using the controller or a wheel? I was going to buy a wheel, but the 360 doesn;t seem to have any good ones since xbox discontinued theirs... If I get one I will wait until I can find the xbox one for a bargain on ebay.

I used the controller, but im looking for a wheel though. One more thing, and it might be a little nitpicking, but I dont want my spotter telling me he's up there eating shrimp cocktails and whining about the fans hotdogs when there are cars around me. :ee:

I friggin hate NASCAR 2011 the Game. MP sucks ass. can't change the setup online, and you only get in 1 outta 7 races that start, even then its a toss up if your car will start with the other cars. I sat at the start line for about 45 seconds while getting lapped before my engine kicked in. Thats happened more than a few times. Paint booth is ok if it worked correctly. While you are painting the car, the logos will randomly disappear. You then have to scroll back down to where it is and manually bring it back. And I encountered a new bug in it today. My paint color matched up perfectly in the booth. When I went racing with it, 4 different shades of yellow showed up on it on the track. I had just spent about 2 hours making the #81 Hardees Monte Carlo Russ Wheeler Days of Thunder car. and I chose 81 because 18 was taken by Kryle Busch. So, F*ck this game.

lol, I just noticed this thread and saw your first post about the game and was sort of intrigued. But now...forget about it.

+1...

I was so hyped for this game... After a week I took it back to gamestop, traded it in for $22, and took a $40 loss. But I did get top spin 4 in it's place and I love that game... It's funny because Nascar is far greater than tennis IRL for me.

But the Nascar game was a HUGE disappointment... What don't I like??? Just about everything in the game.

Im with you guys in the disappointment in the new nascar game. Mp sucks.. there's only one game mode , no nationwide or trucks. I would have loved to have minigames, such as accident avoidance challenges and or games that were featured in the prior game. But yea its sucks but maybe it will grow on me. I use to just race stock cars on Forza but there are only 3 tracks and i do enjoy all the tracks.they feature .

But i am really thinking about getting into iracing, i hear that's where the real action is.
