Race For Your Life!! By Zack
If you ever want to live the life of a truck racer or a car racer, play NASCAR 2006 Total Team Control. This game has all different types of racing including CNS, Nextel Cup, Crassfman and Weldon racing. The game NASCAR 2006 is great entertainment. People of all ages will play this E Rated game. <
> This is a game that will be enjoyed by racing fans. Being a driver in this game allows you to control the excitement. The racing game is worth the purchase (...). The name of this game is NASCAR 2006 Total Team Control I say people should buy it. The game provides a realistic racing experience. <

I'm not a hater... I'm a player.
First of all, I own a Logitec Driving Force Pro wheel. I got it because of Gran Turismo. Now before I get started, let's all give props to Gran Turismo as being the pinnacle of driving simulators. To be honest Gran Turismo is the reason I bought NASCAR 06. I had also seen the show about Roush racing on the Discovery channel and was itching to take a pick-up truck around Darlington. I was hoping for another game that had the realism of driving a race car on a race track. <

>There are some shortcomings with the game. You can't use the wheel and the headset at the same time. The auto-brake feature should only be used in the rookie mode. The rivals should be left out of rookie mode too. You should have the choice of shifting in the advanced modes. The graphics are weak when compared with GT3 or GT4. HOWEVER driving this game is fun!!! I found myself in my rookie season getting really frustrated at working hard to get a lead or get competitive just to get tagged and spun out. But if you drive hard and play fair you will be rewarded by winning (or at least top 10). The game is not easy. I like that, even in rookie mode. Qualifying is hard. You have to know the tracks. The tracks are varied and quirky and none are the same. The first time I drove the track in Richmond I thought "it CAN'T be this SMALL". I wonder what the NASCAR drivers think of the game. I have heard that they turn to the game for practice to hone their knowledge of certain tracks. I hope that is true. I wish there were the other NASCAR tracks in the game. <

>I also like the music and wish you could just turn it all on. Nobody has created a book for this game and perhaps that's for the best. Like everyone else, I hope EA Games listens to the players of these games. It is really a fun game to play and with more realism and more tracks could become quite awesome.

The Decline Of NASCAR Thunder
For my first real review I'd like to address a problem I have that I know you have too if you'd enjoy playing a good NASCAR video game. The problem is that one doesn't exist. EA Sports makes the only NASCAR game, and it's past 2 editions, NASCAR Chase for The Cup 2005 and NASCAR 06 Total Team Control have left me still going back to play NASCAR Thunder 2004. <
>NASCAR Thunder was almost perfect. It only seems better now that it is still the best version, even after 2 newer ones have come out since. The problem with it, though, is that so many of the drivers, tracks, and rules are out of date. If EA had taken that game, updated it, and called it NASCAR Thunder 2006, I WOULD LOVE IT! Granted, it wasn't perfect. It was impossible to keep your team and sponsors happy, and the other drivers will absolutely hate you for sometimes no reason at all, but I could live with those things better than all of those AWFUL changes made since then. <
>The 2 games since then have updated the drives, tracks and rules, but have sacrificed the best things about the game. First of all, the game has no statistics whatsoever. You can not continue the career of a real driver for another season if you want to play as someone that already exists. All of the awards the old game used to post weekly and yearly are gone such as Rookie of the Race/Year. There is no challenge to having your own team. As soon as you can afford to buy one, you can spend a small percentage of that amount and you will have the best team in the league. Also, you can't take the auto-brake off. This means even if you are racing at Martinsville, no matter how you adjust the settings, you can keep the gas petal to the floor, and the computer will always just brake for you. Not to mention the fact that in the career mode you have to sign autographs by paying this totally stupid game before you qualify and race. Also, except for the real-life drivers, every sponsor is a made up company that doesn't exist. I like the Busch and Craftsman series that were added, but why can't any driver except you advance through them? Finally, both games just randomly LEAVE OUT extremely important Nextel Cup drivers and tracks! These are just the big things. I'm getting too upset to keep writing about this much longer, so I have to stop now.
