NASCAR 2005 Chase For The Cup 10th Anniversary Review

[@Cytroen]

The year is 2023. We still use cars from 2005.

[@TM42]

NASCAR should take cues from that lol

[@Starzcraft88]

2004* lol

Ryan Newman would be dead

[@caiden6443]

You're about 6 years too early

[@DrDerpPlays]

one of last years, when ea actually cared about their games, burnout 3, underground 2, nascar 2005

[@Borchert97]

The reason I think they used Newman is because he actually owns Modified teams in real life and is one of the only, if not the only driver in the national series that cares at all about a series as low on the totem pole as the Modifieds, so he's your "in" to the Modifieds.

[@kyleschafer6275]

He also was a recent rookie of the year winner in Winston Cup, also winning a not too shabby 8 wins in 2003 alone ( yeah only winning 8 races a season while Kenseth won 1 race).

[@dennisbowen452]

@@kyleschafer6275 whew, if only you knew

[@Starzcraft88]

the thing about share drafting in 04 and 05 for me is that when they were allies, they would block me more than if they were neutral. The obvious reasoning behind that is that they think, "oh there's my ally, i'll just hop in front of him so we can work together." I have never had an instance where they just moved out of the way for me to go on by.

[@Clabel]

Hey I agree with this guy.

[@dcaseng]

This game is STILL the best Nascar game ever made for consoles. It's a shame that developers haven't been able to at least MATCH this game, in spite of modern day technology. Eutechnyx and DMR are pure trash compared to this game. This was 12 years ago!

[@justinknust2395]

Close, but I like Nascar 06 the best. 41 real cup drivers is hard to top, including Jeremy Mayfield, Ken Schrader, and Carl Edwards.

[@scottmccann3946]

Justin Knust DMR is topping that with a full field of cup xfinity and trucks being real

[@thebigone53]

You would be surprised how many dale jrs I killed as a 6 year old

Austin B. No I would just always crash. It was my childhood

[@minakoarisato4293]

I would crash just for the fun of it when i was a kid while playing this game I play this game to this day now and its 2019

[@ONFIRERCN18]

the trophy room was sick as fuck too haha

[@w_4ca]

I used to play this game on the gamecube back in the day. I just bought it again at a local used video game store for my PS2. Brought back so many memories. Love this game.

[@24ever60]

How do you turn on cautions on the gamecube version in single race mode? Or can you?

[@bigfuckingcheese]

Was it just as good on either console? Sorry for asking 3 yrs later.

[@austinstitzel]

I give Nascar 2005 a 10/10 for the whole game

[@QF_Dan72]

Imagine minding your own business ,and then Ryan Newman stopped by your side to offer you to race at the sport ,not sure if i should be happy or worried

[@jonathandequatro9498]

What you said at the beginning of this video is the answer to "what would Nascar video games be like if it's rated M for mature".

[@ThatTallTexan420]

Just purchased my copy. I was 15 when this dropped, can't wait to blast through the career on a Friday night with a 12 pack 🙌

[@e93sports80]

Anyone watching this in 2021?

[@cupofchaffee8875]

The CPU being a pushover is your disc. In my game which is pretty recent, the CPU blocks like crazy.

[@cupofchaffee8875]

????

[@cupofchaffee8875]

Thanks.

[@cupofchaffee8875]

Wow, it's been a year. I don't even remember watching this.

[@tmthylthm]

The CPU is the part inside your console that tells it what to do.

[@ashenwolf98]

I've found that there are a few tracks where the CPU is pretty frustrating because their AI was programmed in a weird way. At Richmond, for example, it's really tough to race them on the outside exiting turn 4, because they love to jump to the outside as soon as they can whether you're there or not.

[@SomeUsernameSomeoneElseTookIt]

so close to 20th anniversary

[@Discount_ed]

you can have a mr.clean pit crew... XD

[@dennisfar]

After my friend brought over his PS2 with thunder 2003, I never touched my PS1 version again.... I mean 18 to 43 cars it was a no brainier. Plus racing 42 other cars while the sun sat in Daytona was mesmerizing

[@limestonebutter]

NASCAR Thunder 2003 : D Brings back so many memories!

[@jonathandequatro9498]

The soundtrack in this game was good (although I wish they didn't alter Saliva's "Survival of the Sickest").

[@Trainlover1995]

This was my first NASCAR game. And it was awesome. One of my favorite memories is when I got my first Cup Series test session at Talladega, and didn't get the contract. Being 9-10 years old, I cried. But then, I got another test session at Watkins Glen, and easily aced it.

[@Blueflag04]

ny track looks like a toast

[@whalesequence]

But no Pocono...

[@X2Lazy2WinX]

And no Jeremy Methfield

[@roanokebrooks]

@@X2Lazy2WinX I heard Jeremy Mayfield was supposed to be the cover athlete but at the last minute they changed their mind and picked Kevin Harvick as the cover athlete.

[@81casperflip]

Best nascar game ever. The graphics are 10x better on xbox too

[@KurlzzPlays]

I’ve always wanted to say this...........2020 anyone

[@AlexRossi5398]

18:36 YES, this happened to me too so many times. Then again, I was playing the GameCube version on the Wii via backwards compatibility, so perhaps my experience isn't the best to judge either...

[@COCarDude]

Great video! Funny that they misspelled Alltel in the newspaper

[@cupofchaffee8875]

The Crew Chief upgrade made the spotters respond faster.

[@88fanforlife]

To summarize the introduction competition=creativity

[@zuwarkgaming]

If I ever get a ps2 like I want to, this is the ONLY game I'm buying for it

[@nascartoday8849]

I got nascar 08 cuz reasons

[@minakoarisato4293]

I have nascar thunder 2004, nascar chase for the cup 2005,nascar 06, nascar 08 and nascar 09

[@thebigone53]

8:40 I also noticed that in NT2004. Mark Martin always retires in 2009 since I have a save from nascar 09

[@sneekibreeki8162]

Tip on the crew pits, I used to spam the X button while playing on PS2 and it seemed to make the pit crew run with superspeed.

[@LivDigsRacing]

SneekiBreeki816 why do I wanna try this without the game and a working ps2?

[@NokiaCupSeries]

It also helped that PS1 games were like $20, now everything is $60 plus DLC

[@davidmercado6951]

Hardcore in the back 😂😍🙌🏽🔥

[@SOFTDRINKTV]

Great review

[@tygrove2629]

Oh my gosh I watch your channel

[@e93sports80]

Hey!

[@austinstitzel]

Jeff Gordon is my all time favorite driver. I liked Mark Martin as well

[@dcb99filmz]

This game was one of my favorites

[@kyle18fan82]

The main problem is that the driver rating system was flawed. Kurt Busch won the championship, but was about a 18th place car in this game. :/

[@Gman2303]

Definitely my favorite my favorite NASCAR game, played it on Gamecube up until a couple years ago.

[@TheSpeedracer1982]

AI cars don’t have tire wear.

[@KamikazeGames]

you are correct. this is a terrible video. i regret making it lmao

[@TheLukeSoup]

I remember that game on my PS2

[@05Michela]

I still have this game for the PS2.

[@bdavis24fan]

The reason this game rocks...Randy LaJoie's last few starts were in 2004 and his 82 car is in the game. And its sponsored by Jani-King. #BestCarEver

[@jadendubecky4130]

I had nascar thunder 2004 for the ps2 and I felt the same way as a kid

[@SteamKing2160]

So why on Daytona and Talladega, why is the AI like 5 feet behind you?

[@TaylorTheJapanaholic]

I love that i just got the game and i am 4 years into FTTT

[@alexkuperwwr3e245]

My favorite driver is/was Ryan Newman. This game makes me wonder if I was his favorite fan 😂🤣

[@RF2006]

10:20 lol

[@cupofchaffee8875]

The late spotting is your disc.

[@badbooking3221]

The biggest complaints primarily has to do with race weekends: Why is there no barometer to see in qualifying? In the prior Thunder games to this, you know whom was on the pole and the time/speed they qualified at. And secondly, why can't you see the race stats during the race in progress? I want to know Jeff Gordon started 29th at Pocono and is up to 5th in 7 laps! You don't get to see that in Thunder 2005. Also was not a fan of how loose the cars drove. My preferred go-to is Thunder 2003.

[@hyperdrive282]

6:25 SO THATS WHERE THAT MEME COMES FROM!

[@Eliteprecision29]

I enjoyed the hell out this game back then but it had freezing issues at times. Mainly with split screen. But im thinking about buying this again because I currently got NASCAR 06 and it has too many glitches with fight to the top mode. I can't drive for any team that I want. With some teams that you sign with the game freezes when you start a race. Anyway I'm looking forward to playing this again.

[@minakoarisato4293]

The vibeate delay is from the scrached disk because mine does the same thing

[@scottallen5560]

Pencil fight

[@austinstitzel]

05 is my favorite Nascar game

I give Nascar 2005 a 8/10 for sound

To me the AI are not pushovers in this game, even on rookie I can't open up a huge gap in Fight to the Top

[@MightyMack03]

Papyrus > EA Sports

[@seanmckean0727]

Noah My opinion: Papyrus = EA

[@alexthesniper1952]

Dont think so ea and papryrus are equal

[@tmthylthm]

EA before 2008 was great. NASCAR '08 and '09 are awful.

[@Starzcraft88]

depends on how your racing style is. If you prefer simulation then papyrus beats ea, if you prefer arcade, ea beats papyrus

Yes. It's only an option to hire a driver.

Have this game for GameCube. The modifieds are fun, but everything else drives like shit pretty much. And yes, I am aware you can set up the car yourself, but I don't want to waste my time on that. I just want to be able to pick up and play. Was that part really necessary? What's wrong with having ONE programmed setup for all the cars to run smoothly? It sucks because it limits the tracks that are actually playable.
