HugeDdisappointment September 1, 2008

I agree with many of the other negative reviews and won't bore you with repeating them. The main reason I'm going to resell this game is that it's 1 player unless you are playing online! Absolutely no use for a game configured this way.
This game was a real disappointment September 11, 2007

I follow NASCAR and look forward to the release of the NASCAR game every year. In previous years I have enjoyed the career mode where you start in the Whelan series and work your way up to the Nextel series. I thought with the PS3 version, there would be lots of extras and career modes. However, the career options are very limited and have not held my attention. Also, in trying to allow you to set up the cars for racing, they have made it impossible to control the cars even in easy modes. It is impossible to get through a race without causing a yellow flag (the yellow flag is thrown so quick, sometimes you don't even see the wreck). I think this game will be a trade-in at Gamestop for Dirt which has a great demo on the PS3.
 This game made me laugh out loud... September 8, 2007

The graphics look like a crappy PS2 game, the gameplay is just plain boring, no two player.. none of this suprises me because Nascar as a sport sucks anyways, people only watch it to see the drivers crash.. but unfortunately, even the crashes in this game suck.. if you want to pick up a good racing game, get Dirt, or if your willing to wait, Gran Turismo HD, EA games these days aren't cutting it.
 I should have purchased the PS2 version July 30, 2007

I have spent many hours with my son racing in 2-player mode in previous versions. We've had SO much fun. He's 13 now and our racing days go way back to Lego Racers on the PC followed by Star Wars Racer and then on to PS2 with all the EA Nascar versions. Those days appear to be over because the PS3 version I just purchased only supports a single (local) player. Besides that it is only 720p and my TV supports 1080p. The PS2 version has 2-player and the XBox360 says it does 1080p. Why does the PS3 version cost the same as the XBox 360 version?I feel ripped off! I would easily give up some of the graphics enhancements to gain all the fun my son and I could have with 2-player mode.
