I'm a long time Papy NR fan I have owned all the titles of the series!! But it's a new Day and new dawning, quit living in the past and join the future!! For the very first time , I feel like I am actually driving a 750HP stock car. The physics are awesome to me. I have NEVER been a fan of EA's racing title's. I was worried when Papy quit producing NR series, cause I hated EA's Arcade crap.. But this title is great. I welcome the fresh changes that it has. The sound is just plain awesome. You can actually save yourself from a spin now without instantly crashing into the wall. The drafting takes a little to get used too. As with Daytona, you will get a run and all of a sudden be on or possible in the bumper of the car in front of you. As far as the setups go, you can actually feel the differences each change makes, it is taking me time to figure the setups out, cause in the past I just download other's. I better at driving then setup... But the garage is well thought out. The intro's to each race are really cool.. Also it finally has a Career mode, takes the game to a whole new level. before if I crashed or had a bad race I could just back out and start over, but with this if you quite the race, it markes you as finishing in 43rd place, and then you also have to repair your car in career mode too. it puts a very nice twist on things. I am not sure what else to say, except if you are a fan of Racing Sims, and you HAVE A open mind, I think you will find EA to have done a pretty good job in their first Sim racing game. There are plenty of EA haters out there and those folks will always be living in the "good Ol' Days" but if you are ready to move on and join the rest of us in the present then pick up a copy, I doubt you will be that upset at the game, and will find quite a bit of enjoyment in it. Oh last note on Multi player, it has some glitches, but what doesn't?? in time with a patch they'll iron out their issues, but it is still worth joining in on races.
