Anyone else think the NASCAR games from EA are too hard? I'm a pretty good gamer, but i stink at Thunder. Anyone else?

what difficulty level are you trying to race in?

I think the games are far too easy. EA makes horrible NASCAR games but I still play 2005 online. Ridiculous setups, for instance Talladega - 15psi 1/100 springs +4.0 wedge .80 4th gear. You will whoop the AI car, I can start 43rd and be in 1st after 3 laps. That's pathetic, what fun is that?

Has nebody played the new 2005 sim nascar game? Or they FIA GTR oval kings patch?

I heard the SIM game sucks, EA should just give up on racing games.

If anything I think EA makes the games too easy. I'm playing in career mode on 2005 right now on "extreme" difficulty 12% race length. Second season in late models I won 13 out of 16 races, 15 top 5s, 16 top 10s, 14 poles, led 201 out of 246 laps. If I really would have tried I could have won everything and led every lap which is what I'm going to attempt to do in my third season. I don't mind the game being easy though since it is an arcade game. When I want a real challenge I play NASCAR 2003.

i think ea's nascar games are horrible, the best was thunder 04, it was the hardest. i think it's dumb as hell to have a car that can b in first in 3 laps after starting last and fliping 5 times. they should just give up, and the grahpics havent gotten better for the past 3 yrs, maybe even worse. i think they were just working at the limits of the systems with nascar 07, ps3 and wii werent out, and 360 wasnt really new, just a redone regular xbox.

nope! they are just average! I can play them as easy as ABC.
