Over the past couple years the attitude towards the NASCAR console gaming sphere has become more and more disgusted. Very recently though the financial issues seemed to have caught up with current company Motorsport Games as the company has had its board all step down. So, is this the end of NASCAR console gaming forever, we look into this today. Is this the end of NASCAR console gaming?

02.12.2022I likely would not be watching NASCAR without nascar 09 and inside line.

01.12.2022I was so excited about NASCAR 21: Ignition I bought it when it came out but man like everyone else I was so extremely disappointed. I have gone months where I couldn't even play the game because it wouldn't even load the race. I have stopped even trying to play the damn game.

01.12.2022I am a big Madden player i have bought it every year except for a year or 2. Madden might be buggy at times but usually it gets fixed enough to be very playable. But the Madden fans miss the games from 2k from 20 years ago also like the Nascar community. I also have bought every Nascar game and there have only been 2 I hated the original Nascar heat from 20 years ago and Nascar 21: Ignition. Ignition the car seems ok on the track the driving part isn't bad. The lack of setup options is horrible. The AI is ridiculous the brake all over for no reason sometimes they just crash and you have to hope a caution comes out. I have never been just completely wrecked so many times by stupid AI cars. I hope Dale Jr. can help get the Nascar console gaming fixed all I ever want a good Nascar game and a good Madden.

01.12.2022One thing that makes other sports games fun is the ability to bring old players into the modern era. I think it would be cool if a nascar game could figure that out. Imagine racing against Richard Petty in a superbird, Davey Allison in a Thunderbird, Tim Flock in a Hudson or Dale Earnhardt.

01.12.2022As die hard nascar gamer here’s what I want and have always wanted a realistic nascar game. Where when you break you go to the garage not pit road then under yellow you drive manually with out it skipping the yellow. Weather change on the road course from dry to wet. May sound crazy but wanna make a realistic nascar game it can be done look at gT all there racing games are great.

01.12.2022Bro I hate growing up.

01.12.2022Austin pretty much called it so

01.12.2022Iracing making a console game would be immensely easy too. They already have the tracks. All you have to do is take the best features of every past nascar game and add them in in their own new names. That would be massive. Gotta release it on steam though, I’d buy it.

01.12.2022EA sports needs to take back the rights!!!

01.12.2022It is time for Iracing and monster game to bust open a can and just take the Indycar title and NASCAR title

27.11.2022Just hurry up and give us the Heat 5 next gen update on PC before they die so modders can keep us up on schemes for years.
Brent Ruvio
27.11.2022We can only hope iracing and monster games make the next console game
The great one
27.11.2022Love the thunder 04 music. We going to need some action soon. Got me singing lol

27.11.2022I think NASCAR needs to hire a AA or AAA game company. They should hire a team that has a proven record of producing a quality annual product. They should also make sure the team has a USA base. Most racing games are produced in Europe or Japan where hardcore NASCAR fans are less common. The game needs an entire team of hardcore NASCAR fans, at least in the management positions.

27.11.2022Its sad. A league i used to race in for years, last night had their last race of the series. for 5 years strong we raced. but theres no future hope for a better game.
Dwight Tudor
27.11.2022Also to add. The best nascar games to ever have come out would be Thunder 2004 and 09. How did the games keep failing year after year is just another bigger question
Diecast collector
27.11.2022We just need a good developer to make the games that’s really it yk
Scott Hageman
27.11.2022I wonder if ,I racing would get involved and make a "dumbed down" version of iracing for console
mark keeteman
27.11.2022I think like the new world of outlaws game, that iracing should step in and help develop a nascar console game
FiveStar23
27.11.2022iRacing is king and anyone whos experienced it will understand why. They did soo much right. Everything else is arcade, the past.

24.11.2022If codemasters took on the nascar series .. it would be next level . I mean look at f1 games
Apex_Maximus
24.11.2022I'm glad Motorsport Games is dead (dying) they have single handedly set NASCAR console gaming back ten years. Their hearts are clearly not in it. We need someone new in the space to bring back the love and tlc and infuse that into a new console game. Shit, copy and paste NASCAR 04 into a modern game with updated graphics as a start just to get people back on board, then build on it from there. I would rather have than than another Heat 5 update.
Victor Hugo
24.11.2022Nascar 06 was my favorite
Daveybird
24.11.2022As an NCAA fan, I can say that no NASCAR game isn't much better. At least we have enough NR2003, Heat 1 for PC, the other Heat games, the rFactors, and classic EAs, etc. As long as iRacing and Monster Games make it for PC as well. Because iRacing on the PC is not the same product.

24.11.2022As a semi-lapsed NASCAR fan (I started watching casually again once they started going to more road courses, even went to the ROVAL this year) I'd LOVE a good NASCAR game. I've been really into GTS/7 and the F1 games, so much so that I bought a wheel rig to play them. I loved the PS2 NASCAR games so I decided to try out one of the new NASCAR Heat games since it was cheap and I had the rig. Man, how could the PS2 games be so much better? Unfortunately it's like that with most sports games these days. The quality just sucks but the lack of competition means we have no choice other than to buy garbage if we want new games. I would KILL for a modern NASCAR game like DTD, Chase for the Cup and Thunder.

24.11.2022Having a regularly updated iRacing console experience is the way to go if they can figure out how to make that work. It really seems like the most robust answer as it should be very good on a regular basis if it holds a candle to iRacing on PC. Im not sure what the barriers are to getting that to cross over to console but there has to be a way ti do that AND make it satisfying.

24.11.2022NASCAR should just take a break from video games.

24.11.2022"Buy the game to support the next one." Spot on with your thoughts on this. You don't buy a bad product to ensure a good one. People cry about how if you don't buy the bad ones then you may not ever get a good one, but that's how it works. There may not be a NASCAR game for a while, heck maybe a few years, but when someone new takes a crack at it they'll understand "if this doesn't go well we won't make money."

24.11.2022If the NASCAR game was such crap, I would have great fear on how bad the Indycar game would end up if they still are making it. So I wish that MSG would lose the Indycar license and have a developer who is actually good to make said game, even though it'll be a couple years if that did happen.
randall ellison
22.11.2022Ironically my favorite NASCAR game was, and still is, NASCAR Rumble. I mean this was a game that was completely off the charts with its game play, it never took itself seriously, and best of all, it was FUN! It would be awesome if there they could get EA Sports to do a sequel, so long as it's done right! Also Dirt To Daytona is an excellent game as well, a remake if that game would be awesome as well!

22.11.2022After playing the DiRT Series and F1 games, I've wished for a long time that Codemasters had the NASCAR license to make a game…
Thomas Patsis
22.11.2022I stopping buying nascar games at 5 cause I heard ignition was so bad so I just stay in the past. But dirt to daytona was fun cause the driving dynamics was excellent..
Adrianna Johnson
22.11.2022Unpopular take. I'd prefer if Activision returned. IMHO, Inside Line had one of the most polished controls. Now, I didn't have some fancy features Dirt to Daytona or the Thunder series had, but it was, unlike most of the upcoming games, playable very well and had a decent presentation. Much love 🙂

22.11.2022Is it ever possible to get a good realistic nascar console game? Like we can see across the universe and explore the deep depths of the ocean but we can’t make a realistic nascar game

22.11.2022My personal view is that console games can help current fans become more engaged with the sport and bring in new fans. I’m 40 and I’ve been obsessed with auto racing my whole life, mainly IndyCar and F1. Between 1995 and 2001 I barely missed any CART and F1 races on TV. After Mercedes started dominating F1 in 2014 I would catch maybe 5-7 races a year. In 2019 on whim I downloaded F1 2019 and fell in love with F1 again. Since then I’ve watched every single race and I keep up with current the news of F1. Personally I think if there was a good console NASCAR game that might generate a wider interest in NASCAR. Right now I only watch about 14-16 NASCAR races a year.

22.11.2022If they want the age demographic to drop, NASCAR NEEDS VIDEO GAMES THAT ARE GOOD TO INSPIRE NEW FANS
MICKEY LOGANO 2
22.11.2022I’d like a remake of an older nascar game like Dirt to Daytona but I don’t want MSG making the game I just want them gone. They killed the last bit of hope with nascar console game.
MICKEY LOGANO 2
22.11.2022Why don’t they just start doing remasters of old nascar games like the thunder series for the latest consoles like PS5 and whatever the latest Xbox is? I’d be fine with that. Assassin creed has done it he’ll I’m playing games on my PS5 since I haven’t played since my childhood when I had a PS3 and I’m having alot of fun on them.
Todabeast
22.11.2022I hope they make a current a 2022 Iracing/NR2003/Dirt to Daytona arcade style video game with real drivers (no fantasy drivers) and the ability to race on almost any track like home tracks via dlc like iracing. That way everyone would enjoy it.

21.11.2022I haven't been a gamer since 2013, when my daughter was about to be born. But, I see the slide into 2077.
Seth Cole
21.11.2022I'm unsure what these console fans want in a game? It's never going to be a full simulation. Like, it's already a small pool of people to sell to, and you want a iRacing type of product, for $60? You're going to get stuck with a gimmick, arcade style of game.
Damar Fadlan
21.11.2022I miss good old NASCAR games like NASCAR 98, 99, and NASCAR RACING.
Vine Wood
21.11.2022NASCAR Ignition should never have been made, what they SHOULD have done was update Heat 5 with the 2021 carsets for Cup, Xfinity & Trucks & then eventually with the 2022 sets. Whoever is at the forefront of that decision is the one who needs to be fired…
Robert Jones
21.11.2022If nascar wants a half decent game, why not talk to EA again, the f1 games and fifa are extraordinary good. It’s making a deal with devil but could be worth it
Mid Night R
21.11.2022Yeah the future of a mainline Nascar game is pretty doom and gloom. Motorsport Games currently hold the license for Nascar Mainline games. Even when MG eventually fold and the license return to Nascar there aren't any Publishers who would buy it to produce Mainline series. as it is not profitable. EA are the only Publisher whos buying license for sport games at the moment. the other choices are PD and Turn 10 who can pick it up but that would mean Nascar would be another class of racing in their mainline franchise. sry
Richard Zega
21.11.2022Play the world of outlaws game its significantly better than any nascar game out right now
Robert's World
21.11.2022It would be awesome to see a remake of Dirt to Daytona with online play

21.11.2022Why can't a good developer make NASCAR games? EA and Papyrus era was the GOAT.
