NASCAR 25 owners: what's the magic bullet that's going to stop me sucking on restarts? No matter what I do, I can't seem to take off, and the other lane goes by me like a freight train.


Manual tranny, which I assume you're using. Upshift quickly, right on the red light of the tach.

Even then ...

Considering GPU is $90 for three months at full price, a 40 percent discount would be $54.

Still, a solid deal.

Too bad NBA 2K26 is a far worse game than College Hoops 2K8. College names and unis on a crap game engine that has been allowed to atrophy -- yay.

Please give Matt my regards. Those were Wild West Internet times.

The same thing that's happened to this place and other bulletin board-style forums: They're being replaced by social media, Reddit and Discord.

They are supposedly rolling out this week but I checked my account and it’s not there yet.
And Paul, it’s ESPN Unlimited which is a much more robust version of ESPN+


Yessir. Unlimited basically combines all the ESPN channels I get with YouTube TV and ESPN+, to which I also subscribe. Killer ...

Bingo. You nailed it. The offline game sucks.

One other flaw: The AI forechecking is ridiculously tenacious. I play solid positional hockey since I know the sport very well and have played it, and the AI seemingly gets to every loose puck in my defensive zone first. And my AI-controlled defensemen ...

FREE RIGHT NOW ON XBOX until Monday morning.

Xbox Free Play Days Offers NHL 26, Lynked: Banner of the Spark, Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream, and Age of Wonders 4


An absolutely terrible offline game if you have any knowledge of or interest in realistic hockey. EA's NHL franchise has been ...

I didn’t look back too far in this thread but YouTube TV is about to roll out tiers which will lower the cost for some. There is the normal base tier ($82.99). The Sports tier which obviously has all the sports channels + others. There is the Entertainment tier. I think there is another also. I ...

You sure about that? Eight different teams have won the World Series since 2015. Seven different teams have won the Super Bowl since 2015.


I was defending our Bills and you want to go there. Seven different teams have won the Stanley Cup as well since 2015, who cares?

I can name probably 20 ...

so if you're a cable cutter you have to pay to see the superbowl. bullshit


The bullshit spews from your claim. Anyone with an OTA digital antenna could get their local NBC affiliate broadcast of the Super Bowl if in range.


no the bullshit spews from your ignorant ass. I live sourrunded ...

i wonder what their excuse will be now? They can't use the Mahomes excuse anymore. :lol:


No excuses, unlike Baseball, football has a competitive balance.


You sure about that? Eight different teams have won the World Series since 2015. Seven different teams have won the Super Bowl since ...

One of these days we need to get together and play some of these games, Tony. We only live 10 minutes apart, for Chrissakes!

Have you considered selling your games at retailers like Target?


It's not as simple as calling Target and saying: "Hey, I have this obscure game in an obscure niche. Will you stock it, please?"

With total respect to Al and all tabletop sports gamers, our passionate hobby of rolling dice and ...

PK- I cut my teeth on APBA football many years ago...just got my first tabletop hockey games (Inside the Crease from Inside Sports Games and Hockey Blast from PLAAY)


Tony: I'm a hockey fanatic, so please let me know what you think of Inside the Crease and Hockey Blast. I've read a lot of praise ...

Thanks, Al! I'll look into the games and check out the pod. Good luck!

Its been quite a few years since Ive done anything meaningful with any of the sports games except golf. We have them all because of my college aged boys but dont laugh, I find them "too complicated" in some ways....all the button presses to pull off moves in 2K hoops or all the pre snap ...

I definitely miss games such as NBA Street, NBA Jam, Virtua Tennis, and SSX. I'd be the first in line to purchase these games again.

That said, I've found a lot of recent enjoyment with games such as NHL 26 and NBA 2K26. They have just enough sim and arcade that I can overlook the negatives. I ...

It boggles my mind how a game released in 2011 still sells for $20, even on discount.

Co-sign all the wonderful details John listed, Lancer. Only difference is I use a controller, not a wheel and pedals, and a controller works VERY well with NASCAR 25. One of the best controller implementations for a racing game outside of Turn 10 Studios -- Forza and Horizon developers -- I've ever ...

so what's the concensus on Nascar 2025?

buy or no buy?

is this going to be a yearly game release too?


Absolute buy. The best NASCAR console game ever. I'm already in Season 5 of my career. I don't think I've ever gone more than two or three seasons in a career in any previous NASCAR game ...

This trade instantly turns Minnesota into a contender in the West. Any team with Kaprizov, Hughes, Faber and Boldy will be stout.

But does this deal really matter, at least this season?

Colorado has lost TWICE in regulation through 32 games. The Avs are well on pace to smash the Bruins' record for ...

Ian Bell might be the biggest d*uche nozzle in the game development industry, which is a pretty damn high bar to clear.

Largely according to script so far, mate, though I think this might be new:

What the article doesn't say, but Ian Bell's Twitter does, is that the day one patch (which the YouTubers who streamed all weekend didn't have access ...
