Most of the features in that list are typical public-relation stuff th
at EA does at it's best. There's about half of the thing in that list that
are simply normal things you expect in even an arcade racing NASCAR game. I
mean, never thought you would have stuff like tracks, audio, replays and
multiplayer in a racing game hehehe.


Anyway it'll be crap and we all know it.

From what I am "hearing" the physics will be outstanding (Better than N2003)
and the graphics are fantastic. The main areas of work that need to be
improved is the multiplayer and dedicated server.

1. It isn't exporting results files yet.
2. No F2 Style info in multiplayer.
3. As of yet, you can only run one instance of the dedicated server per box
(AAAAK!)
4. No ADMIN commands available in the dedicated server code.

I am hearing that the multi-code contact detection is good as well, but they
have a few things IMHO that need to get fixed or people will just not switch
(Multiplayer/Dedicated Server).

That's nothing - you should check out the GPL forum over at Racesim central.
Some of the ignorant dribble that's posted over there is pure gold.
