If Dario can get in then so can these drivers

[@K9RacingAndStuff]

Honestly, of all of those, I'm really surprised that Gordon, Marlin, McDowell, Blaney, Sauter,, and Riggs didn't make it in. The others don't particularly make sense bar Elliot, Nemechek, and maybe Andretti, especially Logano since was barely known at the time and the 02 didn't happen until around the Chase. Now the real surprise was the abject lack of drivers in the Nationwide series and trucks. Now, I know EA games typically weren't too rich there, but the lack of drivers from Gibbs, Braun, (admittedly the Gibbs 20 and Braun 32 were rotational clusterfucks between Busch, Hamlin, and Vickers, though you probably could've had Busch in the 18, Stewart/Hamlin in the 20, and Vickers in the 32) or even Keselowski in the 88 and a more diverse 5 lineup (coughs in Landon Cassil and Mark Martin). Yet they somehow had three Everham cars. And let's not begin with there being only four real truck drivers (no Bill Davis Racing, KHI, or Germain Racing? Booo...)

Michael Mrucz NASCAR 09 Chase For The Cup gameplay just says it all about this game for Xbox 360

[@SuperNASCARrocks]

They sold this game for PS2? I only had the Xbox 360 version and my goodness. That was my childhood. The gameplay was great, the soundtrack was excellent, Yeah they didn’t have any manufacturers on the car’s but still NASCAR 09 on the Xbox 360 was awesome. The depth of the career mode, the sprint driver challenges, test and tune. This game had it all. On the 360 at least. At the end of it all in my career mode I had 240 win’s and 8 championship’s. 2 in truck’s. 2 in XFINITY. and 6 in Cup. I never did get 9 though since my Xbox tragically got the red dot of death. RIP Xbox 360. I really wanted to get that 7th championship. All in all NASCAR 09 was a great sendoff of the EA NASCAR Games franchise. At least on the Xbox 360. I miss NASCAR 09.

I played NASCAR 09 like a year ago on my Xbox 360 and it was absolute trash. 3rd worst nascar game in my opinion. That’s just me though.

Nascar gaming died after 07 when I played 08 and 09 for the first time when they came out i took them both back to the store and just went back to playing 2005 Chase for the cup and 07

[@LeafFerret]

NASCAR 08 and 09 weren't made by the same company as NASCAR 06 and 07. They were made by a company that were known to made ports for games which weren't that great either.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Ah, no wonder NASCAR 06 had that awful apron glitch at every track. That completely ruined the game experience for me.

[@jc1424]

I got used to apron glitches and racing on all assists in 06 and 07. But 07 had me disappointed after playing 06.

[@LeafFerret]

07 got rid of the official in qualifying, Bill Weber and the ability to use single and double dight numbers for created cars not to mention less real life drivers, it was a bit of a downgrade from 06.

[@alexthesniper1952]

I disagree those little things make up for the better driving model in 07 07 is miles ahead of 06 because the team control panel commands work no matter what unlike 06.

[@davidallen234]

Honestly I’d rank 06 and 07 the same I don’t really feel that much of a difference in the two but I’d definitely put them miles better than 08 and 09. I had a lot of fun with the car swap feature.

[@jonathandequatro9498]

There are 5 things in my estimation that should have been changed or fixed for NASCAR 09 not to have been a crappy game. The first is Medallions. I feel that most chase plates can only be unlocked by mastering each track. If anything, secret tracks, unlockable car sponsors, and fantasy drivers should not be unlocked via mastering tracks. It should've been unlocked by spending medallions. I mean, mastering tracks allows you to start on the pole on each track, so why should you have to master certain tracks, just to unlock other tracks or fantasy drivers? The second thing is Manufacturers. 5 words: Don't try to remove manufacturers. Third, lack of drivers. Put more fantasy drivers as well as either adding or replacing drivers (ex: add Dave Blaney). BTW, Dale Jarrett should have not been in this game because he retired after a few races in the 2008 season. Also, Marcos Ambrose and Jon Wood should alternate between races as they drive the #21 car. Not to mention, remove two of the #9 cars from the Nationwide Series and put Brad Keselowski in the game. Fourth, watch at 9:38 to know what it is. Fix that problem. And finally, this one is a personal opinion of mine. Remove the idea of Family Play and Pro Play. I can see why they did Family Play for those who have never played a NASCAR game before, but I felt it was completely unnecessary for those who have played other NASCAR games, which some of them were way better BTW (Looking at you NASCAR Thunder 2004).

[@gh1studio9]

I own both versions of NASCAR 09 on the PS2 and Xbox 360 I can say that the Xbox version (in my opinion) is better than the PS2 version Which is hard to say because every other game from EA that has released I have preferred to be on the PS2

[@LA-st6dq]

The best EA Nascar Games for PS2 was Thunder 2002, 2003 and 2004 also 05 Chase for the Cup and 06 Total Team Control! It's the same with their other Sports games like NCAA, NBA, Madden and more. But that simply that the PS2 dated out and really envelope on the Platform was outdated.

[@davidallen234]

LA1504 I’d include 07 also but it’s basically the same as 06. I think 08 is when they stopped caring. I still don’t understand why they took out the car swap feature, probably the most fun thing about 06 and 07.

[@stephenvassello3793]

I bought this game just to own it lol I'm only missing a few for my ps2 collection

[@thicccheese4007]

09 on PS3 is MUCH better but doesn’t come close to the magic 07 had. If you have a PS3 but not a PS2 and you want to relive the EA Nascar days, 09 is your best bet.

[@thicccheese4007]

Coming back a year later to correct myself. It is better on ps3 rather than ps2 but that’s not saying much, it’s at least playable. It’s pretty much a fixed version of 08. Career mode is the worst it’s ever been in EA NASCAR career modes. You are stuck with your fake car/truck. You can sign with real teams but you can never take over a real car. So if you were wanting to take the 8 from Mark to bring DEI a championship and possibly save the team from extinction, sorry not possible. On the bright side, you can import a custom design, I never looked into this, the back of the box shows a car that’s full customized with custom pictures so if you can get it to work that might be your best bet of driving a team car. Idk maybe create a Brad 25 car or RCR 3 driving as Kerry/Kelly or a forgotten child of Dale. The game is not perfect but it is worth checking out if you stumble upon it at a thrift store or garage sale

[@ChuckyLarms]

08 and 09 reviews on PS2 doesn’t due it justice

[@sugarrushnascarman1886]

At least the cup in 08 HAD MANUFACTURERS Edit: let's not forget the nationwide, which was the busch series (national is in the actual game)

[@Mister_Matt_X]

Still to this very day I still don’t understand why EA doesn’t use pits for the Modified Series my theory is that EA thought “Heh! Modified Racing! Let’s make the modified Series an Arcade style series without making a single pit stop!” I’m not just pointing out EA but also NASCAR Dirt to Daytona for the Modifieds as well and you have like a 100 plus laps of fuel to make it through the end of the race and sure the tire wear is a ok thing for the modified Series few pointers there...

Not quite 03's carrer mode is worse than 04 its a hard game but the carrer is lackluster you can laterially win the title your rookie year with setups.

[@limestonebutter]

AlexTheSniper19 That’s if you are an experienced driver, put the difficulty on rookie and have amazing setups. I usually do my careers on legend difficulty, so I don’t have things like that happen. Besides, the wonky ally-rival system in 04 is a huge setback for me, since rivals do more than put red pins with their number atop their car...

[@alexthesniper1952]

not really I mean you can win 4 races in carrer mode right away with a godly plate setup.

[@limestonebutter]

AlexTheSniper19 ...if that’s the case - which I don’t believe - then you might as well go for a perfect 36 in Thunder 04 and other games. I still stand that Thunder 03 has the hardest career mode. Besides, if the only flaw you point out is the game is easy when you use insane setups to the point it might as well be cheating, are you saying that Thunder 04 is better because it doesn’t have that problem, even though it’s commonly believed that 03 has the hardest career mode? Wouldn’t the problem be bigger in 04? What are you trying to prove? Also, what happened to your spelling?
