    The series captures the claustrophobic feel of pack racing beautifully, and that's no small feat. [Oct 2005, p.106]
  2. Next Level Gaming
    86
    The Total Team Controls add a new level of depth to the series that makes things much more interesting.
  3. Stuff
    85
    With tons of modes, cars, unlockables, plus online play, this disc should keep you busy until your next mullet trim.
  4. DailyGame
    83
    NASCAR junkies no longer have to live vicariously through the TV, because NASCAR 06: Total Team Control darn near puts them in the driver’s seat themselves.
  5. Maxim Online
    80
    Electronic Arts is keying on the sport's blocking, defensive strategy, and teamwork with NASCAR 06—the closest to "Madden" car racing can get.
  6. Electronic Gaming Monthly
    75
    Team chemistry and prestige are just as important as your personal points standing in NASCAR 06, which makes the whole experience much deeper. [Oct 2005, p.113]

    More niche than ostrich-whispering and not half as exciting - a beautiful rendition of a sport we can't bring ourselves to care about one little bit. [Nov 2005, p.116]

    I only gave it a 6, because unlike the 05 version. At least you can be IN-CAR. But the graphics are bad! Total-Team-Control? Who cares. I I only gave it a 6, because unlike the 05 version. At least you can be IN-CAR. But the graphics are bad! Total-Team-Control? Who cares. I just want to race my car, with graphics that I know the PS2 can push out. I think EA sports need to give the developers at RATBAG a call.… Expand

    They need to understand that alot of users love to race online with that being said i believe that ea needs to step back and see what the fansThey need to understand that alot of users love to race online with that being said i believe that ea needs to step back and see what the fans really want and need to feel like "IT'S IN THE GAME" being a huge online fan and huge nascar fanatic i believe that ea has alot to still accomplish before they lose out on what the rest of america already knows U DON"T TINKER AROUND WITH A GUYS RACING and u dont need to make it so childish with the team control type things the setups could have been alot better but they r still the same format from previous years EA get out do some laps in a real car and see how setups REALLY do make a game more enjoyable add grill tape differant tire press. all the way around and how bout givin us a better server online instead of not lettin people with routers not host races online ... as an underground advisory panelist # 8875 i believe ea is and has not been in it for the gamer's true feel of racing but to hurry up and wait like my old military days... well i will stop being so harsh and say that i think that nascar 03 for the pc should have been formatted for the consoles and see what kind of positive response that u could get after all u r lucky to see 100 people online racing go check out other games that have thousands online all day ... Truley a racing fan here hope to see it get better instead of wantin a refund.… Expand
