NASCAR Heat 5 Review

[@JReaLBiz86]

Honestly this seems more like NASCAR Heat 4.5. Good improvements, but it's essentially the same game

[@Wongphee]

Think they might be focusing on next years game

[@omegaisnownewagain]

Actually this is Heat 4, since Heat 4 was just Heat 3.5.

[@Deacers]

@@omegaisnownewagain Heat 3 and 4 were completely different my guy

[@Nindorious1]

​@@Deacers agreed

[@seanhart7185]

I appreciate the F1 2012 music in the background. Very nice 👌

[@agomes2448]

Noticed it as well.

[@randomfaca]

This thing should've been DLC.

[@mikeyeden5791]

What does DLC mean and I think there is another term?

[@MajorSpy98]

Rather support these smaller size developers compare to the juggernaut EA not adding any new features to Madden Franchise

[@pat_rick2419]

they laid off a bunch of employees and the exec's got a big bonus too smh

[@anthonyf.3009]

I'd rather not spend my money at all and get NR2003, or save my money and get IRacing. I'm pretty sure the amount of money you would spend buying N15 to NH5, that's the amount of money it would cost to get an IRacing setup

[@Shiny101]

Ubisoft is small?

[@cory99991]

@@anthonyf.3009 IRacing not only has a monthly subscription fee but if you actually want to do any serious oval racing you're going to have to plunk down some pretty serious money for the tracks and cars you'll need. Not to mention you're looking at a few hundred for an entry level setup to race or in the thousands for something mid-high range (I paid around $2000 CAD for my setup) Don't get me wrong I love IRacing (even with it's long time problems) but it's definitely a costly hobby. I do love me some NR2003 though and all you need for that is an entry lever wheel and pedals.

[@thetechfromheaven]

I'm still here wondering who the hell is Bobby Carter and since when he races in cup?

[@tglass1919]

He’s in the xtreme dirt series and they couldn’t get one of the RWR cars so they put Bobby carter in to have 40 cars

[@jackocantshoot3s]

It’s a fantasy car

[@bostonwarrior4824]

Jimmy Carter’s son

[@thetechfromheaven]

@@bostonwarrior4824 Red Byron is William Byron's dad, Rusty Wallace is Bubba's uncle, Junior Johnson is Jimmie's dad and he teached him how to cheeet, the whole 2020 season is a new VR simracing game being tested in the real world by iRacing and the proinvitational was just a gimmick to fool us otherwise. Tim Richmond was right, NASCAR is just this big thing and we are all small men, "minions"

[@thetechfromheaven]

Also: Timmy Hill has more Championships than Alex Bowman, and more wins than Kyle Busch in 2020

[@mathewpierson650]

Love the review, but since playing F12020 I’m hooked on that and might pass on this years heat game

[@lundiboy8]

Same. Die hard Nascar fan but the depth of My team blows any racing game out of the water for anyone that wants single player racing.

[@mathewpierson650]

Travis I have to agree, learning the F1 game is different with everything that falls into just going into a race day, let alone trying to get your car better. Hopefully the team behind heat can look and take some pointers and implement something like this into the mix.

[@nascarstopmotionandmore4266]

Sammmmmeeeee, F1 2020 is so damn fun!!!

[@burgz5157]

Smart move. Not a big difference from Heat 4 aside from creating your the tracks you want to run in your own created Cup Series

[@mindofmyown333]

Same. My cousin and I got F1 2020 and it’s so impressive. It’s a career mode that I think I’ll come back to many years to come

[@weeejusss]

I agree with you about the cars driving more realistic. One thing I really enjoy is the way the clutch responds when switching gears, you can actually ride the clutch and ease it into first gear. I was not able to do this in HEAT 4.Anybody else notice this? I’m playing this on Xbox one BTW.

[@killerstream23]

Everyone who isn’t a F1 fan is now getting into it because of the game

[@gavint4634]

Dude your so right🤣I’m an f1 fan all the way but I’ve been looking at some different race classes but nothing is as good as f1

[@16dragons]

They probably wanted to get the game out early so they'd have plenty of open space and time to develop the new game

[@jeffgo5742]

That’s what I’m thinking. One last money grab before they load up the new counsels

[@ybthgr]

Jeff Go counsels

[@soliderfromtf2]

Yea ea is doing the same thing. The are about to release ufc 4 and it basically the previous ufc game but with slightly better graphics and less content and added skins for the player which doesn't fit because ufcs sponsorship with reebok

[@KevinJhonson]

@@jeffgo5742 gotta love the new *counsels*

[@jeffgo5742]

Kevin Jhonson yeah maybe check them out it would blow your mind

[@jasonadams7991]

Thanks! I am a career guy doesn't sound like much has changed and with physics being pretty similar definitely holding off this year and seeing how Heat 6 looks with the new engine and if they develop the career mode to be even more in depth.

[@williamtrimarco637]

Found out your channel a week ago love your content keep up the good work

[@anamarte9859]

Quick question how much would that wheel set cost.

[@Kerbal18]

I dont think you want to know

[@DennyDeliversYT]

Expensive... cheapest is $100 for maybe a used one... A really good one might cost $300 ish

[@Bsbl-xf2nq]

Waaaaay too much

[@davidhonkstvorisit4811]

4000 dollars for the Fanatec setup

[@allamericann00b]

I have a Thrustmaster TMX for xbox and it was like 400

[@ThePaintballernick]

"take the cup series to canadian tire". as a Canadian, this statement is hilarious because it sounds like your saying "take the cup series to a store". I understand what you meant though. Mosport is my home track so that would be cool

[@madmikeschannel8128]

That's pretty funny when you think about it like that. Lol.

[@shaytrueblueaussie]

You just see 40 stock cars crashing into the store 🤣

[@JP-qm9up]

7:04 those paint schemes youre going through ARE the challenge rewards, because those werent there before i played the challenges, and now that ive completed them the paint schemes are there. so its not the challenge drivers paint scheme you unlock but instead you get another drivers scheme.

[@di5ea5e39]

Those r just age verification schemes and a challenge reward paint schemes would be either a car eight confetti or a car with damage

[@BaileyC54]

thank you very much Radman for telling me about the other tracks coming to championship mode, cause i really wanted to put every single road course in the Cup series schedule

[@loganmarshall8141]

It would be cool if 704 Games could add late models to replace or be an addition to the Xtreme dirt tour and if they could add smaller tracks like 1/4 mile for the late models.

[@hehateme71]

Yes!! Like Slinger Speedway, or Rockford, etc.

[@Pen2ke]

[@ilijapetkovski]

Hé very nice review thank you. Was just wondering why you don’t play with the incar dashboard view since you’re using a wheel (and thus makes it more realistic) ?

[@horton2802]

Forgot about the Heat 4 logo on the trophies and 2 drivers name they couldn’t even spell correctly. Great honest review

[@malack7886]

Why did the Indy road course not out for the xfinity series is it because it came out early do you know yes or no

[@huskermania99]

Someone who gets the game for free telling us to buy the game to support the developer is rather ironic... Thank You for your honesty though

[@sebastianochs7603]

Not at all. He gets a free game from the developer because he's a KZbinr and gives them promotion by playing it. Why would he buy it if he gets a free game anyway?

He buy the game on ps4

[@RealRadman]

You either support them or get no nascar console games, your choice

[@huskermania99]

@@RealRadman I get that. But you've received copies of the last few games early and/or free. It's just ironic you're telling us to show support by giving money I'm passing on this game due to it being a copy/paste content wise. Developers need to work hard to earn my support.

[@anthonyf.3009]

Cool.

[@zebra5591]

You brought up all my things i was wondering in my first 1 hour of playing the game

[@MilesLexicon]

I've bought the game, the gold edition specifically, for the first days after buying it, I wasn't sure if it was going to be worth it. I saw Radman's video regarding supporting the devs and I honestly agree with that. They are a GOOD team, a small team that means well, I know I've said this before on his video on why you should buy it. But I had a bug on career in heat 4 where it wouldn't progress to the next race. I reported it, they told me they had a fix coming, and asked if I had any dlc. I hadn't any at the time so I told them not yet but I was looking to get the Season Pass. The Customer Service Rep told me that I didn't need to worry, they'd take care of it for me. They had made a fan for life, I promised them i'd buy their next game's gold edition. So I have. After Radman's first video and this one, I realized something, something that this video has only built upon. This next game, won't be the F1 2020 of NASCAR, I reckon the Nascar (Heat 8 if it's still called that then) will be the game we all look and hope for. I know it's a lot to ask to just hold on and support until then, stick by them, and I imagine they'll stick by us. F1 2010 is a hell of a lot different from 2020, Heat 5 will be a hell of a lot different from Heat 8. They need time to build this engine, so I reckon this game could get the Heat 3 treatment (I hope) where we get a 2021 Season Pass, gives them more chances to make money, new content, and gives them more time to make the next game as best it can. You don't have to buy it, but keep my words in mind, i'm not the smartest guy around, and I may be wrong in the future. But remember, giving Nascar back to EA would be stupid, look at FIFA, Madden, NHL, NBA... Just consider it, if you don't buy it, understandable, look forward to seeing you all on the track.

[@whiteboi_18]

Miles Lexicon yes i agree

[@gadgetman2061]

Thank you for reminding me of this, I’m personally not going to buy it as I just don’t have the money. Ghost of Tsushima already stole my wallet for now lol. Though if it gets down to 20-30 bucks months from now I just might, even if I won’t play it I’ve had it with the current physics it’s just not enjoyable to me anymore. Nothing against the developers. Like you said they are good people but I’ve gotta wait this out.

[@commanderclaude8781]

@@gadgetman2061 just wait until black friday it will be $19.99 ... thats what i did with heat 4 last year it was 20 bucks at target and the game was only 2 months old.

[@D5YouTube]

What F1 and Gran Turismo games are you playing? Because they have licenses similar to iRacing.. if you’re clean and fast you get matched up with similar players and vice versa. 704 really needs to get in control of online racing. It’s a mess and it’s been a mess since game one.

Is it good now? I just got it and it’s pretty good but I didn’t play 4 nor any stock car game for like 20 years lol.

[@BigMattXXL]

One thing that I noticed is that the Name Plates on the back of some cars are wrong. In the XFinity Series, you have "Starr" on the back of Jeffrey Earnhardt's car and "Allgaier" on the back of Ryan Sieg's car

[@whiteboi_18]

We might need to wait to heat 7 or 8 to get a better one, once you switch a game engine, the devs have to get used to the engine, which means we may not get a good heat game until heat 7 or 8.

[@noahfrankel7966]
