Great game only with a racing wheel

Originally I was highly disappointed with the game basically due to the analog steering control. Now that I bought the Logitech DFP (Driving Force Pro) racing wheel it has changed the game 180° for me. I am able to control my car and drive it as a real driver would. At Daytona I was able to split two cars and not touch either one; at Richmond I drove the high groove most of the race (without slamming into the wall), something I was not able to do on any of the other EA Nascar games.

If you can afford a racing wheel (preferably one with force feedback) I would highly recommend this game. Yeah, there are some game play drawbacks, such as the “Chase Mode” being so complicated. The online is not up to par whats-so-ever, but I’m assuming that will be fixed. And the lack of really having to use the Truck and National (Busch) Series for your career advancement. But all-in-all it’s not half bad (with the wheel of course).
