It hasn't been released yet and your waiting on a patch to fix it. So what

"Planning" on a patch from EA is a slippery slope to be treading ;)

Yes I agree. First stating that you expect the initial release to be too
buggy to use and they stating you are waiting on the patch. May as well say
you have no plans to buy or use it ever ;-)

I wouldn't be saying that. Mr. Hawkins just had a FANTASTIC Q&A session on
www.crazygameworld.com (Teamspeak)

NSR looks to be a kick ass release :)

I hope it is, we need something to revive NASCAR sim racing. Leagues are
slowly drying up as is.
I'm just curious about hat the OP said.

Schooner,

Joe's website forums (www.ollineracin.com/forums) might shed some light onto
what your asking. TO ME, In a nutshell EA decided to go gold with a lot of
missing parts for "online" usability, for one example, the f2-space (that is
in NRxx) to see intervals between your car and others. plus ways to control
dedicated servers remotely (no dedicated commands to used by admins like we
can papy dedicated servers as last I read) only a voting system I guess?
plus other things like outputing/exporting of resuslts files, you know so
post editing can detected I think, and some other things...

Sorry I can't recall all the specific ones, there was seemingly quite a
"list" from several different discussions... But EA has seemed to convince
many that they will get this stuff fixed in promised a patch.

Me? Well I dont know, it is kinda like selling anything... once it is
money in your pocket, would you care? I can only hope in this case that EA
will, I mean they are going to want to sell me games stuff eventually right?

BUT if things keep going, & they end up being the only game
publisher/developer in town anymore, which some reports they are be very
'Borg' like at EA.

Thanks. Well if it is missing that much out of the box I'd wager that it is
dead already to most of the sim world. Waiting on a patch to a buggy game
that isn't even on the shelf isn't going to impress anyone. For a title
they focused at a simmers they are missing a lot of simmer features IMHO.
