I am having a ton of fun with NASCAR Heat 2 they fixed alot of the issues that made the previous NASCAR Heat Evolution not a fun NASCAR racer. I love the new Rivals where if you are too aggressive with other drivers they can either be friendly with you if you race clean or want to drive you into the wall if you are too aggressive with a driver and be your rival, so be careful because it's tough to race against those driver. Split screen is a welcome feature. Most of all you can race in all 3 NASCAR series. The Camping truck series, Xfinity and the Monster Cup. This game will keep you entertained for months. Love it!

Good game play and controls but very repetitive. They need to add the course map while driving like past and other racing games. Decent game if you're a Nascar fan but you'll lose interest quickly.

I like it but I have played many past games and my current collection includes F1 2017, Project Cars 2, Forza 7, Forza Horizon 3 as well as Dirt 4. Every game has its positives and negatives but by far the one that trails from the other mentioned games is Nascar Heat 2. I don't plan on ditching it as if you really like to play Nascar you'll want to break this one out from time to time even though you get better physics and graphics from Forza and Project Cars 2 using their Nascar vehicles. Nice to have all the tracks and to play through a season.
Also surprisingly online seems to have a lot of players. The biggest issue I have with this game is no small map you can see on the track showing cars and where they are. Graphics look more like previous generation but that may be due to having more cars on the track at the same time.
All in all fun game and worth purchase if you can get on sale. I only payed around $30 including tax so I'm OK with that.

For nascar games of late it is great. In terms of a racing game it is mediocre. Overall worth it if you like nascar.

Graphics are subpar for this generation of game. AI will run you over on pit road or coming on or off track, but will race terribly even on the hardest settings. Career mode has some fun bits, and there seems to be a good bit of NASCAR drivers actually used in the game. But I wouldn’t buy it again.

Last year's version was horrendous with the way online racing was setup. The developer listened to complaints & fixed it....for the most part. Still would love to be able to move driver's from team to team, retire them, fire them, etc. Other than that, the game is a blast online & offline
