This game is kind of a YES and NO for me.

[+] It's on PC and Steam.

[+] The Paint Booth feature is nice. It's been so long since the last time we were able to customize car paint jobs from the old EA's PS2 era. The customization option is just so much you can explore a lot, and especially if you manage to unlock the sponsors from the Career Mode.

[+] The main menu music is personally good for me.

[+] REWIND feature, which will be relevant in the Negative aspects of this game.

[+] Steam Cloud feature. The new HEAT franchise lacks this feature.

[+] Pre-race commentary and DW's Boogity.

[+] The community, funnily enough is still active for this game.

[+] The achievements can be completed with Solo play, including the Multiplayer ones.

[+] It's quite cheap, and even cheaper when on sale.

[-] There is an audio glitch where the pre-race commentary, DW's Boogity, post-race Victory Lane crowd voice, your manager, and your spotter don't always pop up. It's annoying really because it makes the races feel bland. The only way to temporary fix it is to exit the game, and restart the game again, EVERY DAMN TIME.

[-] The AI drivers is quite honestly very braindead. They have a very specific racing line that you can see by the heavy tire groove on the track, and they all just stick on it heavily without really adapting too much, even when you're there. If you even dare to try to interrupt them, they won't budge, and if you happen to be slightly in front of them, they'll just divebomb and dump you.

[-] Speaking of dumping, this game has a VERY INCONSISTENT CAUTION. Sometimes when an AI got dumped into the wall when facing front, but hitting other cars behind it, cautions out, but when you got spun to the inside field, the caution doesn't come out. From my observation, the only consistent caution is when a car (either you or AI) gets spun AT LEAST 90° SIDEWAYS. It's just so dumb, that thankfully there's a rewind feature to overcome that.

[-] Back to AI, I also have to mention that in Pocono, the AI somehow becomes absolutely mind boggling. Even on 0% difficulty on my first run, the AI becomes more aggressive, brutal, and feels like they have a strength boost compared to other tracks. It's so weird that it's only on Pocono.

[-] The Career Mode is so barebones. It only features Sprint Cup series and how you rise to be the champion. On older games, you start by racing through the Whelen Modified, then Craftsman Truck, and then the Busch Series, before finally heading to Sprint Cup to compete for the big championship. It's not too bad though considering how jank this game can feel, but still, the career is lacking.

[-] The graphics look too bright in the daytime, and can look downright ugly. At night tracks, they look cool, though.

[-] The human models in the game, especially in Victory Lane and Championship Podium look very ragdoll and lifeless. As an example, the mouth doesn't even move. I know they weren't priority, but man, during EA days, they even still manage to make the humans look expressive.


This game gets a meh from me, but there are features that you definitely should try like the Paint Booth. There are cool paint jobs from the community. Just be wary about the jankfest that you will encounter while playing.

I give this NASCAR '15: Victory Edition a 5,4/10. Only grab it when it's on sale, usually it reaches 65% off.
