NASCAR 08

Topic: The game, NASCAR 08

I bought it awile ago, and I noticed one thing, its hard as all ****. The AI hit you like you arnt even there, also, no matter how fast you go, they always seem to go faster. They completely ruined "The Chase" mode, by making it so you cant race unless you complete 10 challenges for every type of track, then you have to go, and do a race at every single track, and beat the requirements. The turning is pretty bad. Unless Im missing a way to tweak your cars setup in the license and contract modes, its almost impossible. So because of that, Ive been forced to use, Season mode, it is a lot easier because you can customize almost anything. It took me 5 trys to win a National Series race, with only me and 2 opponents. Even with full assists on, the car was still almost unbearable and wiped out a lot. Anyway, the better things than other games, are the replays and the saving replay feature. The paint scheme maker is better too. But I believe that by adding in better features, they killed "The Chase" mode.

I agree. I played Nascar 08 at my buddies and it is horrible in my opinion. But, that is typical of EA Sports. Games like Tiger Woods and Nascar are more difficult with some ridiculous achievements, whereas Madden and NBA Live have the easiest achievements ever made. I completed all the achievements in Madden 08 in four hours without simming. And, the only difficult NBA Live 07 achievement is that 1,000 people online...what a joke.
