Yep, they grab you with the Flash and leave you wanting more while they grab yer Cash!But I guess that is all major sports titles these days. All flash no substance.
I'm mainly wondering how many of the bugs will be squished by the time the game releases. The previews I've seen look unpolished as hell.
Also you can't turn off steering help, no stages, and no championship mode. I give them credit for the eye candy and atmospheric details(garage area, pre-race cutscenes, and night races are spectacular) but a game needs more than to look pretty. Also the spotter seems to repeat itself ad-nauseum. It is nice to have information, but how many times do you got to say the SAME PHRASE in 5 seconds.

I've seen the damage system at full chat, when it works, does have the ability to cut tires from car contact I've seen one or twice. But I've also seen that sometimes you take a lickin and NOTHING happens at all.It is true? And the damage system, what is it like?

Also yes, no championship mode, only online "hoppers," quick race, and a what I'd assume is a basic career mode (which from what I've heard is just driving for different teams, no team creation)
Heck I'm not necessarily looking for a NR2003 replacement, just a solid offline title that can waste time, but it seems this game might not even be good enough to do that.
When the most complete racing titles, or at least the most overall well regarded (in terms of polish, features, and physics), atleast for PC are GTR2(2006), NR2003(200, Grand Prix 4(2001), and Richard Burns Rally(2004) for their respective disciplines you know things are sad.We seem to have to curb our expectations with any new title or just be disappointed...I'm afraid
Even then, amongst casual console NASCAR gamers, most feel that the mid 2000's EA games and Dirt to Daytona are the pinnicale. And then on the more arcade non NASCAR spectrum you had Race Driver Grid, and Forza and GranTurismo especially had rock solid titles as well. Throw in the TOCA Race driver games, Dirt 3, Project Gotham Racing, Need for Speed Underground and Midnight Club, Flatout, Burnout, and you can see why many yearn for that era back.It's who they are targeting I think
we are all looking for that magic bullet that replaces NR2003...
