  I wanted this game to be good but sadly didn't even need 30 minutes of gameplay to see that it is not what I'm looking for. Not to say that some hardcore NASCAR fans desperate for an arcade game won't enjoy it, but to many there are far too many drawbacks. Graphics are not very good. Draw distance and anti-aliasing are problematic, and the overall texture quality and lighting is sub par. Taking F1 2016 as a comparison, NHE looks years behind the current standard. Gameplay is unexciting and unrealistic even when changing the settings to suit my desires. Hitting the wall or other cars does not have realistic effects. Damage, despite being set to "full damage", barely occurs unless you have a huge impact. If this game was priced at $20, I might be able to look past this shortcomings and find enjoyment in the only fully licensed NASCAR game option, but at $60 the expectations are much higher. Sadly, this game falls short in many areas. I was very much hoping for a casual break from the intensity of iRacing, however I will stick to other, better racing games for my casual fix, and iRacing for my competitive racing.

  Bought this game at full price on launch day (70$cdn or so...) and I did because of the mixed reviews. Wanted to make my own opinion. At that price, can't be a recommended game.After 2 weeks and about 60hrs of gameplay, this game has now been retired in my library. Just tried to do a race having change my G27 for a TX and, nope...rather go back to NR2003. If you get this game for 10$ or less, yes buy it, you will have 10$ worth of fun. I dont want to be too harsh but it goes like this: Graphics; like PS2 at times and PS3 at best (some weird rendering going on with the choosen graphic engine, and lots of artifacts), Sounds; there is some..., Physics; ouch, for example, driving below the white line at charlotte as no effect on your line or other tracks have weird rebound effect when you hit the wall. Okay force feedback at best. Nothing compares to anything done these days. Some bugs like you would expect from any games coming on the market but for a game that require you to turn only left (95% of the time), pits and draft well you would expect more. Racing at daytona or talladega and winning by a minute over the field is no fun. Draft doesnt work well, career mode fell scipted what ever you do, yellow flags dont always come up even after patches. At the end, not a 70$ worth title but since I am a huge racing game consumer, I will give them another chance later this year but not at full price. I dont mind encouraging but you can only make one good first impression.

  Edit: 3 hours in, been doing the career mode; managed to scrape a win at Bristol. AI is very competetive, and aggressive but in the right areas! The game needs a bit of work on the plate tracks (Daytona, 'Dega) as it's a bit clunky. So far I'm very impressed with what this game is turning out to be. It's fun to be able to race against an AI knowing they're not going to just dump you like in NASCAR '15. Pros: - Great, competent AI - Close, fast paced racing - Fun Career mode, I enjoyed every race, despite finishing an average of 18th - Challenge modes offer quick, easy fun Cons: - Not all 40 drivers are 'Cup' drivers - Cautions sometimes don't come out when they should - AI on plate tracks needs tweaking Overall - If you're looking for a NASCAR game that's competetive, fun and challenging then this is the game you're looking for. It's not as in depth as iRacing, but for a 'casual' game it destroys all previous titles made by ETX.

  Played every NASCAR HEAT game there has been. They were always good, they always brought something new or interesting, and everything worked out. Visuals were great, simulation physics were awesome. They offered a great challenge to NASCAR fans. This time around? If you expected Dirt to Daytona Returns... you are going to be disappointed. The car feels like it has 10000000lb of downforce, you can charge into the corner, and somehow a 3500lb race car turns into a formula car that doesn't even wear tires. Setting up a car is quite interesting, but it makes no sense playing around with it when you beat everyone on the default setup on a car that has all the grip in the world. It is a stock car, it should be hard to drive, it should move all over the place, it should struggle to find grip. If you use a wheel, it feels disconected from the car. Has a huge dead spot on initial turn in. There's no feel of what the tires are doing. It feels flat at all times. -won't even bother trying it with a pad. Waste of time. Visuals are not that good; cars look like toys, catchfencing looks even worse at the distance, as if there was no AA. Tracks lack on everthing, doesn't matter what camera you are using, it looks as if you were looking at a 4:3 screen and they stretched to sort of fill up the 16:9 format. AI is OK, if you want to jump straight for a challenge; set the difficulty yourself. That's about the only thing that really works as it did on old HEAT games and the only thing to keep someone interested in progressing in the game. For casuals it will be fun, AI is too easy to beat if set on auto, once you find how to push the car, you can win by 30 seconds or more, even if you start at the back. If you are a hardcore sim racer... save your money, get a grip and join iRacing. Feel sorry to say it. Monster Games used be great at portraying the sport. They failed this time. It isn't even a rebadged/updated NASCAR HEAT game. It is the unrecognized son of Eutechnyx.

  It took me only 21 minutes to come to my conclusion about this game. As an avid race fan, and someone who's been physically involved in the sport since I've been old enough to, this game SUCKS. Here's why: - It's an arcade game. Yes, even with "Simulation" mode. - If you play in first-person, the cars feel VERY sluggish. - The handling is far from realistic. - Multiplayer literally had four players. - The visuals are gross, and plastic almost. - Antialiasing was checked, but there was no Antialiasing. - Random stutters - Don't go three wide, the AI will wreck you every time. - The sounds were used 16 YEARS AGO. There's no excuse for that. These are just a few reasons not to purchase this pile of shit. I could go on all day. All I've heard is how this is DMRacings first game in years, but that is no excuse for this game. Dirt to Daytona is 30 times better than this game. Want a modern NASCAR game? Do yourself a favor and purchase NASCAR 15. If not, NR2003. I'll be getting my money back. You let me down guys. Should have known better.

  Tired of all these games under NASCAR license in recent years ! Too arcadish, oversimplified, ridiculous damages and crashes, poor physics... And this game doesn't correctly support wheels like my G25. We have to set it in an obscur text file ! NHE is not ugly, it is even pretty neat, and run at 60fps, but needs more shaders (especially real time reflection). Engine sounds too synthetic, too discrete and poorly mixed. I would like to see a true resurrection of NASCAR 2003 with current technologies ! iRacing is that but overpriced and based on a timetable, so it's the opposite extreme ! Finally, I am aware that Monster Games and Dusenberry Martin Racing are starting from scratch, and I guess NASCAR license is not given. Yes, much work was needed to realize this game, but... We need to be aware that the asking price is too expensive for a mixed result ! So my advice: wait to see if the game will continue to be supported by developers with significant improvements...

  This game is worse than it looks. Sounds are terrible, cars are too easy to drive, AI is stupid as heck, and there is no option to turn off assists. I recommend you save your money for another game instead of spending it on this crap.

  So i purchased 30 mins ago. Spent 20 mins trying to get the MOMO to work. It recogs the inputs on the intial setup screen, but does not save them. Go in game, only recogs steering. Requested refund. NOTE* Ive been Nascar racing since N1 on floppy discs (1995?). I have every Papy N game, all EA N games, as well as the orginal Heat. All the latest N games from DM. This game is NOT for us. This is for game controller crossovers. No mouse support? Stupid. But I get it, its $$$$. You can see the low budget allowed on ressurecting this software. Not their fault. Its plain greed from their higher ups. Want to fix this greed? Vote with your wallet. If your wheel/pedal works, your'e lucky. Good for you. All other drivers, your risk, just dont wait too long for refund request. I waited 30 mins.

  Where is a patch to allow for ALL USERS TO HAVE KEYBOARD, MOUSE AND WHEEL SUPPORT!? Can't get past the front screen and if we have to edit a file with NO guides to get stuff to work thats wrong! Why did they make the game only have support for Xbox controllers...I can't even review this game if I can not get it started or configed...FIX THE DAMN GAME GUYS!!!!!
