Rebel Whitey/Rebel Whitey/NAPA Auto Parts Chevtolet SS #24

The 24 is taken, do you have another car?

 

[Rebel Whitey]

Like I said earlier Mike, I will take 15 Clint Boyer instead of the 24

I'll take the Dow Chemicals #3, if the #24 is taken.

 

[Michael Watts]

You got it #24

Sounds good.. I've been working out of Town. Plus that League has a Force Camera View. I use the Front hood view. I can not use the Cockpit View. For some reason it gets me sick.

I was in your shoes with the hood view. The 1st season I used nothing but hood view. It took some time to get used to, but now I wouldn't race with anything other than cockpit view.

This is just a fun series so I'm not going to lock the cockpit view LMP1 is Toast's series so that is up to him. Difficulty goes up when in the LMP cockpits.

Thought this was cool. Was encouraged that the last dev diary talked exclusively about physics and tire model, even if in passing. I can't recall a NASCAR game dev even going past the mere mention. Any word on what "simulation" feels like on a wheel? Another encouraging thing from the gameplay video is the ability to "float" (as New Yorkers call it) in traffic. Sort of like you let the pack sort of move as would a bike peleton, not afraid to touch at times. In the last few games, a mere touch would send you spinning.

I was watching live Twitch feed last night of a 4 guys that got the game early on PS4. I think online racing is going to be good but I think they take away damage. I did get to see the pit interface and animation which was cool. However at this point there is no game chat and we are limited to 16 in a party chat. So comms are going to be something we need to figure out for online play. IamtheGoat has several videos posted on YouTube showing the offline career mode and progression

Between the spotter, who will be crucial if accurate, and 16 eyes on the road, I think we can make out every spin or contact taking cars off track. NASCAR throws cautions that often anyway. I think the spotter also tells about "trouble".

The game forbids damage online? Strange.

 

[Michael Watts]

Yeah a bit sad about the damage. May be something fixed later in like lobby mics

 

[Rob]

You might want to require a pitt stop from all parties involved in a caution. Since there are no penalties, that sort of penalizes all involved.

 

[Dalai toma]

I'm way to used to cock pit now to use anything else.

Id be interested in Joining Bryan Smith/Ironfist8976 / Austin Dillion Number 3 Dow Chemical Chevrolet SS. I plan on getting the game either tomorrow or in December for Christmas.

 

[Ironfist8976]

If Not the Number 3 then Ill take Kevin Harvick Number 4 Busch Beer/Jimmy Johns Chevrolet SS

This is from an official source, right? I was getting worried...

DMRnascarheat is the official twitter handle. The guys I've been watching are more than likely teens and haven't dug deep into the game. Not to mention if there is a Day 1 patch it won't be available until today. Still the online racing looks really good from what I was watching on Twitch last night.
On another note those guys were using "TeamSpeak" to communicate as there is no Game Chat. Maybe something to look into. As you know @Rob Skype can be used but I don't know if I'm savvy enough to make it work, LoL. So I guess we'll try some different things.
