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

    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 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 motionNASCAR 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.… Expand

    Good game overall with a great campaign mode and nice feel from handling the cars. The option to customize your experience is awesome although the game graphics looks a little dated. Bottom line it is really fun to play and the AI is the best I've seen in a racing game.

    The game is fun, but the career mode was a big letdown because you can't win with a controller. 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.

    Outside of those minor issues, NASCAR Heat 4 is an enjoyable racer that had no trouble making me want to take another lap around the track.

    As with most sports games, NASCAR Heat 4 does not escape the "problem" that these types of titles usually have. The fourth installment of the NASCAR Heat series does not present much news. If you have never played any installment of this saga, then you will be impressed with its incredible graphic level, hilarious career mode and intense careers. On the other hand, if you have already played another installment, especially NASCAR Heat 3, we are sorry to tell you that you are going to take a major disappointment, because the changes with respect to the third installment are minimal.

    NASCAR Heat 4 still has its issues, but Monster Games’ long overdue overhaul finally makes this the game that the series has always tried to be.
