 Nascar 09 is a hit! October 31, 2008
Dawn Rodgers
I purchased this as a gift. The recipient enjoyed the game and was pleased to connect with a number of people online to simulate the race.
 Nascar 09 PS3 (no 2-player option) October 3, 2008
Shawn P. Kockler (usa)
Just a note that the game overall is just fine, and much easier to play than the 08'edtiion and thats probably for the worst if your good at ht 08' version. My biggest complaint is that I can' play the game in the same room next to my son, soo much for family fun (they forgot the 2-player/head to head racing)
 Seriously? August 31, 2008

After playing EA NASCAR games for nine years, I decided to opt out of last year's offering (08) after being disappointed year after year that EA refuses to cater to the true sim fans. While I did enjoy countless hours of fun online with friends in NASCAR 05 and 06 on Xbox Live, the game's physics just never felt right after playing Papyrus' true NASCAR sims all those years ago. That being said, I decided to rent 09 for my PS3 after reading a few positive reviews. I'm glad I didn't get my hopes up because this one is a disappointment too. For anyone who's been disappointed by the unrealistic physics of previous EA games, take my advice and skip this one. They haven't improved anything.
Another minor complaint is that the graphics are not worthy of being on a current gen console. I can honestly say that NASCAR 06 and 07 on the original Xbox looked just as good as 09 does on my PS3 in HD. The cars are not very detailed and from behind they have the same shape they did in 99 on N64.
Not a very detailed review but anyone who shares my disappointment with EA's NASCAR games will know exactly what I'm talking about and will avoid this one like the plague. I can't believe NASCAR honestly lets EA keep repackaging the same game each year with some new gimmick feature that is mysteriously absent in the next year's game.
Don't bother with this game July 9, 2008

I would not bother spending your money on this game. It is still only single player locally which is pathetic. It was the same in 08. Not worth the money when there are better racing games out there. Don't bother with this one, especially if you already made the mistake of buying Nascar 08!
excellent July 6, 2008
