NASCAR 08 (PlayStation 2, 2007)

EA sports just doesn't know how to create a realistic feel in their nascar game series. Many of the tracks you can drive on the apron just as if it were part of the track. The 40 or so adjustments is over blown. Nothing like the adjustments on the nascar game Dirt to Daytona, which is by far the most realistic game I've come across. Nascar 08 , when u make adjustments for ex. tire pressure, it's for all four at once, you can't run diff. pressures on each tire. Very arcade like game. Didn't find it hard at all. U can basically drive on and off the track with no diff. in speed or handling. Had high hopes. Hadn't even wanted an EA sports game for years because of the poor game play. The controls I thought we goofy. I'm just amazed people ok'ed this game for release. 1st race I did at Daytona I won and started 43 and was in the lead within 8 laps, and it wasn't even on the easy setting. If people want a nascar game were you can make adjustments on your car like individual tire pres. & tape on grill and more complicated setups and can live with an outdated roster of drivers , I suggest Dirt to Daytona. It is the best racing sim out there for the ps2. I can't recommend nascar 08 unless u want an easy game with no challanges. It strikes me as a game for kids age 10-12. Graphics are ok but with a car that can keep up with the leaders while driving on and off the track on the apron and such , it just makes me wish I hadn't a bought it. I should have been weary buying it used after it's only been out a couple of weeks, I guess someone else thought it stunk too.
