EA-NSR Initial Observations

Larry 23 January 2005 07:39:42
 First, let me start by saying that since this is a demo, I'm going to avoid
making judgements at this point. Really, I am. I'll try real hard. Honest
:)­

First, the good stuff:

* The Menu System is leaps and bounds better than anything else EA has ever
done in a Nascar Game.
* The ability to recover from a Spin in a somewhat expected manner is nice
to see.
* It actually ran without any trouble.
* You can turn off the hands, wheel or both.
* The setup screens are decent.
* There is a lot more adjustability than in NR2003. Whether it actually
WORKS or not I leave open for debate.
* The flying debris are kinda neat.


And now the not-so-good:

* Oh, my. Where do I begin?
* Is it intentional that you can't actually READ the dash board ?
* Mirror? We don't need no stinking mirrors. I guess that's the philosophy
because the one in the game is useless.
* No matter what I adjust, I can't get the front-end to grip. It feels like
every other EA Nascar sim I've ever tried in that the front end just washes
out and heads for the wall.
* In the demo at least, the FF is worthless. All it does is stiffen up the
wheel. There is NO sense of grip feed back through the FF.
* Oh, my. Here I go... Like every other EA based SIM I've ever driven, I
feel absolutely zero sense of grip in this thing.
* The sounds are screwed up. It sounds like it can only play certain sounds
at one time. For example, if you hit the wall, or scrape with another car,
it seems like it has to drop other sounds to play that sound.
* Anyone figured out how to know where to stop in the Pits yet?
* The other cars sounds completely drown out your own engine sounds and I
see no way to adjust for that.
* It just don't feel right handling wise, other than the before mentioned
ability to save a spin.
* The Mirror SUCKS! Oh, sorry. Already covered that.


There's more, but that's enough for now.

In closing, let's all hold hands and chant 100 times.... "It's only a Demo.
The release version will be PERFECT!"

-Larry

"Overall, it seems speed control in NSR is based more on
intuition/experienc­e
than sensory cues."
