    A dated and niche license receives the game that it deserves - shallow, simplistic and unsatisfying. Turn left before you get to the checkout.

    I feel like the structure is still there, however, for a game that will challenge a player’s strengths and minimize the effects of their weaknesses, much in the way that the F1 or MLB The Show series both accommodate and push me. NASCAR Heat 4 may not look different, at first, but it doesn’t take long before I can feel just how much better it has become.

    NASCAR Heat 4 makes improvements on the racing physics but doesn’t meet the standards of current racing games. On PS4 each track has a glitchNASCAR Heat 4 makes improvements on the racing physics but doesn’t meet the standards of current racing games. On PS4 each track has a glitch where the screen freezes for a half a second on turn one and turn four. It is very jarring when playing a racing game. I have also noticed screen tearing which I have never seen on a PS4 or Xbox One racing game ever. It is 30fps on PS4 with motion blur added for the feel of speed but it just doesn’t look good. I’m spoiled from playing GT Sport 60 fps and Forza 60 fps..even Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch runs at a smooth 60 fps. In career mode the last two cars always catch up with me with about two laps to go and then slow way down just in front of me and I have no way of catching them. It’s very strange not realistic at all and not fun, it feels like work. Career mode in the shop feels like a mobile game. Picking your engineer and suspension mechanics is cool but it’s just a stock photo of random people no real presentation of a shop atmosphere just photos not even images of cars. NASCAR Heat I think has a ways to go to get the quality of the EA games in the past. I hope they just wait to release the next game February of 2021 with the beginning of the NASCAR season at Daytona. The DLC every year to get the next years drivers seems like a waste of time for the developers.… Full Review »

    Great... if you like awfully designed racers with terribly unresponsive controls.

If you want any chance to win in the career mode is with a steering wheel. Very disappointing. But it's easy with a controller on the quick play, or multiplayer mode. And I even tried putting the career mode on the easiest difficulty, but it is still impossible to do with a controller. I would give this game a 7 if you could play it with a controller.… Full Review »
