200 Races into Career Mode - some thoughts

Post Body

This sub needs more discussion.

I am 200 races into Career Mode. All of my races have been in sprint cars. 12 seasons, 98 wins, 7 Championships, currently sitting in 8th place 12 races into my first 410 season.

For reference, I am playing with a PS5, a Logitech G923 wheel and pedals and 95% of the time I use headphones. I never played any of the Tony Stewart games, but I played hundreds of hours (including as recently as earlier this year) on the PS2 WoO Sprint Car game by DirtBag.

Wanted to share some observations I have of WoO Dirt.

Positives:

  • Man this game loads freaking fast

  • I love how the wheel and pedals with the FF make me feel the dirt. Especially when you catch the cushion and power into or off of a corner.

  • I run the inside. Almost exclusively. And I can be fast down there in the mains.

  • The depth of the Career mode is gigantic. As noted, I've run 12 seasons and have yet to sniff a non-open wheel car.

  • There isn't much better than knowing you've nailed a great lap and hearing "And that's QUICK TIME!!!" from the announcer.

  • The number of tracks is impressive out of the gate.

Negatives:

  • I get real tired of getting clipped by lapped cars when I'm in 8th and they are already a lap down. Get the fuck out of the way.

  • Wish you could switch cars during the replay.

  • Wish you could record the replays with the game rather than having to use the PS5 feature.

  • Have yet to find a PS5 lobby with sprint cars, so I haven't tried online.

Other thoughts:

  • Not all that interested in making skins, but I appreciate all of your work.

  • When you make that perfect slide off the inside coming out of the corner and cut off that run from behind on the outside, it is a thing of beauty. I always replay those, lol.

  • IMHO, upgrade (in this order): Tires, Engine, Suspension, Wings, Chassis.

  • Modifieds have never interested me as a racing fan. My dad started taking me to races when I was 3 or 4 (I'm 54 now) and I have always rather watched sprint cars or late models.

I guess that's about it. I welcome all and any comments.
