I don't understand why some people have problem with loging or freeze. My game is fine, loging is not long to wait, and no freeze. This is so much fun to play/race with your Cars, Trucks, or Whelen. It have your own create driver and do the race just like season but better than season. The graphic pretty great and pit is a little bit long. When I was need to fill the fuel and I arrive pit, my team replace my tires too. The result was 20 seconds to finish relpace. But I don't care and I still can win the race. Trust me, this game is fine and fun!!! Buy it. (In case: If not trust me? Rental it first)

It's okay.

Well, this is a game that I think is not a very good game like Gran Turismo 4 and Need For Speed Underground 2. It is because the game play is kind of bad because as somebody mentions, the steering is not very good. So, it will a tough game to beat. I do agree with them. Second, the visual is kind of rough. Not very good but this is just slightly better. Also, for the sound effect, it is good but some improvement can be made like the team radio. Overall, this game I can say is only "okay". You can try it but you might regret it.

very different and very bad

There are so many things to say and so many places to statrt. My guess is that the people that used to design the game went on vacation and and told there helpers to come up with the best thing they could come up with. They did not give them there cell # if they ran into problems. They must have just said give them whatever you can come up with. 05,04,03 blow this away. EA I think you guys really fell asleep at the wheel on this one. Don't buy

Too much loading time & too hard to drive

I spend too much time waiting for the game to load and the controller lacks any sort of subtlety. Tapping on the controller last year would help you keep a smooth corner, this year tapping has no impact so you are forced to hold the button down which causes more dramatic steering. I appreciate EA's desire to load the game with features, but don't take away game play. I'd rather do away with the Feather light series and speed loading time up. It's amazing to me that these problems survived testing at EA. I do not recommend this game.

nascar 2006 total team control is very fun.the best part about it is that you can switch cars with a teammate.22 offical tracks , loads of unlockables and drivers. and 4 racing series. and you can creat your own cars. me and my brother both liked the game and hope you like it to.

Do not waste your money!

Just traded in 2005 for 2006 and I am VERY unhappy. Online gameplay is slow and lagging. The cars handle poorly and the speeds do not match the play (i.e. if you are going 190 mph looks like you are going 75 mph). Not what I expected.

Pretty good for all nascar fans

This game is sort of like nascar chase for the cup 2005. But this is way better. Say that your a Hendrick car oh lets say Jimmie Johnson well while your driving your car you you can swich to Jeff Gordons car and drive it or the other Hendrick cars. But they dont have all the drivers on this game they need to have Dave Blaney on it. then it would be so munch better!!!

EA is digging a hole they can't get out of.

Ever since NASCAR Thunder 2004, EA's NASCAR games have been progressively getting worse. In 2005, you couldn't make but 4 custom cars. In previous years, you could create as many as your memory card could hold. However there are two major disappointments;

1. Perhaps the biggest disappointment, when it says you can own a team, I thought you could create several of your own cars and forge a team with them. But the only option you have is to create your own car (which is one car) and then you had to buy real racing teams such as Hendrick, or Roush, for example. I was so thrilled about this game because of my expectations. But when I saw this, I just set the controller down and almost cried!

2. Another big disappointment, the lack of tools to construct the custom cars. I have driven my car (#100) and my teammates car (#86) for three years. In 06, you couldn't use #100 anymore, so there went my car, and you can't use the "Blend" paint scheme (and I can't remember if you can even use O'Reilly anymore) so there went #86 too.

Seriously, don't even consider buying this game, unless you are doing for a collections sake, like I did. My favorite game is NASCAR Thunder 2003, and it will be finding my TV screen alot more often than this pile of crap. I gave it 2 stars just because of it's ability to play all the series. EA has managed to maintain the NASCAR franchise's integrity slightly due to that.

Why Nascar 06 is no longer any fun...

I have all of the Nascar games since my PS1 and 99. Over the years the games have progressed to offer great features and a tremendous amount of fun. But now with 06, it is so buggy that the game is not worth buying. The playback highlights do not depict what really happened along with the actual damage received. And the biggest bug of all is racing with two or more players in race now mode, and running a FULL race. At the end of the race, the game freezes and you don't even get to see your stats like laps led and things like that. In addition, the game will not even reset. It must be turned off completely and restarted. Then it will work perfectly for hours until you play in race now mode and run a FULL race. Finish the race and the game freezes. I have duplicated this bug over and over again. And it isn't my PS2 overheating. So, Nascar 06 is traded in and I have reverted back to Nascar 05. Hopefully if there is an 07 EA will resolve this issue. One thing is for sure. With the poor quality of of EA's 06 games like this one and Tiger Woods 06, I will not purchase another game without renting it from Blockbuster video first to test it. That's for sure! Come on EA, ...tighten things back up and get back to the reputation that you use to have.
