Just wanted to see if anyone else will be enjoying this great game, and if not... you all are a bunch of girlie men. Once I go Live, I'm expecting a few cars to punt in the wall.
Cool. It's everything I expected, and more. I really love the route EA took with this game: if nothing else, I'm geeked about the Crafstman Truck series, the interesting street races, but there are three pet peeves about this game. Two popular drivers (Ken Schrader and Jeremy Mayfield) and one Nextel Cup track (Pocono) are AWOL. I'm scratching my head over this, especially since all three were in last year's game. What gives, EA?chris1 said:

Aside from that, it ain't half bad. In the meantime, I gotta get back to starting my Modified career.
The only reason I could guess is because they have space limitations of some kind. I could see it not being there if Pocono was not on the schedule next year, but unless I missed some big news I'm sure they are still going to race there. Geez. I do like the Nascar games EA makes but overall the edge has to go to Papyrus' Nascar racing series. I hope EA has a damn good reason to remove Pocono from the game.We didn't get the licenses and what not to have them in the game unfortunately. I played it a bit while I was working on Madden, and it was a pretty tight game. I really like the addition of the Truck series.ferrarimanf355 said:Cool. It's everything I expected, and more.

Although that smells like a canidate for the "lamest excuse ever award", since all three things I mentioned were in last year's version, I'll give you guys the benefit of the doubt. If Schrader, Mayfield and Pocono are in the PC version, then all is forgiven.Big Shady said:

EDIT: Also, I may be picking nits here, but why do all of the trucks have the same front end? How hard would it have been to make different front ends for the Dodges, Chevys, Fords and Toyotas? Still a great game, though.
Okay. I'll kick your ass from here to Fontana over the weekend.Lets Gekiga In said:Very awesome. I might pick this game up then.
Does Toyota plan to expand from the Craftsman Truck Series in the future?
I'm sorry, I haven't really had the money lately to pick up NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup. I promise to pick it up sometime in the near future for XBOX though. I imagine it's been really fun playing it online.ferrarimanf355 said:Okay. I'll kick your ass from here to Fontana over the weekend.
And as for Toyota, rumor has it that they could be running in the Nextel Cup around 2007... the body is probably going to be a Camry...
