Summary: Very Difficult Game
Comment: If driving a real NASCAR is anything like the video game, then it should be noted that I would clearly leave it to the professionals. 42 Cars are doing nearly 200 mph bumper to bumper and the 43rd car is all over the place. Causing wreck. After wreck. After wreck.
This might be the case where the game is SO realistic that it takes a real NASCAR driver (with the right virtual set up and a steering wheel) to be competitive.
I'm not, and I'm more than just the casual fan.
As bad as I am and as hard as the game is, I still enjoy trying. I've reserved myself to knowing I can never finish ahead of last on anything more difficult that a Rookie setting.

Summary: Nascar 09 is a hit!
Comment: I purchased this as a gift. The recipient enjoyed the game and was pleased to connect with a number of people online to simulate the race.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nascar 09 PS3 (no 2-player option)
Comment: Just a note that the game overall is just fine, and much easier to play than the 08'edtiion and thats probably for the worst if your good at ht 08' version. My biggest complaint is that I can' play the game in the same room next to my son, soo much for family fun (they forgot the 2-player/head to head racing)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Seriously?
Comment: After playing EA NASCAR games for nine years, I decided to opt out of last year's offering (08) after being disappointed year after year that EA refuses to cater to the true sim fans. While I did enjoy countless hours of fun online with friends in NASCAR 05 and 06 on Xbox Live, the game's physics just never felt right after playing Papyrus' true NASCAR sims all those years ago. That being said, I decided to rent 09 for my PS3 after reading a few positive reviews. I'm glad I didn't get my hopes up because this one is a disappointment too. For anyone who's been disappointed by the unrealistic physics of previous EA games, take my advice and skip this one. They haven't improved anything.
Another minor complaint is that the graphics are not worthy of being on a current gen console. I can honestly say that NASCAR 06 and 07 on the original Xbox looked just as good as 09 does on my PS3 in HD. The cars are not very detailed and from behind they have the same shape they did in 99 on N64.
Not a very detailed review but anyone who shares my disappointment with EA's NASCAR games will know exactly what I'm talking about and will avoid this one like the plague. I can't believe NASCAR honestly lets EA keep repackaging the same game each year with some new gimmick feature that is mysteriously absent in the next year's game.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't bother with this game
Comment: I would not bother spending your money on this game. It is still only single player locally which is pathetic. It was the same in 08. Not worth the money when there are better racing games out there. Don't bother with this one, especially if you already made the mistake of buying Nascar 08!
