Hot Take: NASCAR 2011 Game is underrated/overhated
Is it the best Nascar game? No, for sure not. But I always have enjoyed playing this one especially from the newer installments. Sure, when it first came out it was a absolute mess. But since time has passed & this game is now more playable on stuff like a Emulator, it's gotten alot better in my opinion. The driving and ai were okay... to say the least but I still enjoy the game quiet a bit. The damage physics I still think are the best we have gotten. Ai also will do blowovers which I think makes the game just feel a bit more of a charm. The replay/photo editor was great too. I also think this game looks really good for its age, especially on a Emulator. I also think this game has a really great HUD & roster list for it's time.
All around I think the game hasn't aged that bad really. I think it's just really forgotten and kinda overhated at this point because the launch was so rough for it.
