Wow that's impressive I never knew he produced so many Head Coaches. He most certainly innovated Offense in the NFL. He will be missed.

so are you guys saying that with the standard 360 controller, the game is unplayable? I am having trouble as well with the demo trying to keep the car on the track using the standard controller. I don't think the demo allows you to change controller settings, I could be wrong though. I haven't foun...

There's really no risk if you wait until you cash it like Bill and Rod suggest. If they try bullying you into shipping before that don't do it. That's an ebay scam when someone says ship it and promising to send the money order the same day. The Nigerian ebay scams are classics too. Everyone one is...

Jack another thing i did that got me Pole at Indy (53.599) was I made the suspension a little softer which doesn't make the car as twitchy. Cup cars even handle better now using the controller. :) You're too slow, Rodster: Reed Sorenson won the pole today at Indy at 48.858. ;) Keep on truckin'! :) ...

I found the sweet spot with the controller settings. what would those settings be? same as before or did you tweak some more? I agree that the controller is do-able, but I can also see how a wheel would be better. Pretty much, Lin=35, Response=40. I also gave it some downforce in the setup. Cup car...

I'm actually enjoying the game with the controller. I found the sweet spot with the controller settings. I even bumped it to hardcore and it handled pretty good. I'm not saying using the controller is easy but it's doable and it takes focus and concentration on my part.

I've tried Rodster settings and they barely help me. JRod have you tried increasing downforce in the setup? I have gotten use to the controller with those settings I mentioned. Adding a little downforce helps me a lot and I have even tried it on "hardcore" and I can still control the car. The one t...

I tried it and it's sooooooooooo much better than MotoGP 06. It runs in 60FPS the graphics are beautiful, the bikes are sick looking. I love the way they handle and it has two functional cockpit views. There are 18 real world tracks and 17 extreme tracks. The game is slated for an August release, i'...

I'm in the camp who only uses a controller for racing games. My controller settings are:

Linearity: 35
Response: 40

I've tested the Trucks at Las Vegas with these settings and it's like driving on rails.:D The Cup cars also display good manners as well.

Speed tells his side of the story, good read. It sounds like he's working for a bunch of Aholes. I like Speed, when I saw him race last year he was at least consistent with a pretty crappy car. In the interview it sounds like he's had enough of F1 and wants to try something else. It's too bad it tur...

After playing the demo i'm going to buy it tomorrow. I like the way the game plays, major improvement but the game looks like crap. Once again EA takes the easy way out. Nascar 08 is nothing more than a Hi-Res version of the PS2/Xbox game thanks for trying EA. :roll:
