Being able to change driver ratings is huge. So instead of 3 drivers competing for a chip you can have like 10 competitive every race

[@Bumafa]

You compete for ships not chips.

[@kentonbrewer3232]

Seeing other comments saying that you should try the World of Outlaws game. I definitely agree! That game hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves! One of the best racing games to come out in the past couple years!

[@Jeffoutsideback78]

New outlaw game coming out September 17th. Supposedly with changing track conditions and more real world tracks

[@TheDraftAttack]

If you're running out of content I would personally love to see this again as another career mode. I know youve already done the career mode on this game atleast three times, however with this drastic and amazing mod this is the perfect recipe for another great classic series. You can even throw in some things like playing a character such as (just an example) being a Roush Racing affiliate 5th or 6th car (can't remember how many they were that year), or even someone thats just about to enter the series in real life but not yet (the most prominent example would be Truex Jr if he's not in the game).

[@travisknoll]

9:13 - "750 horsepower, and you aren't using a single one of them." i don't think NASCAR is using that much nowadays tbh, crew chief.

[@AJFails]

Watching on lunch break here. First off thanks for making a video on this, really appreciate the coverage and the excellent explanation of the whole thing! To answer some things. Qualifying is not (currently) affected by the ratings. Paint schemes are randomly picked by the game from the available ones, it's always done this. (I do plan making a way to lock the paints down and swap them for what was run in the real race easily) Currently the excel only affects the stats and the total # of paints used. The # of laps I had set to 20% race length when you select 25%. Daytona to 1000 laps, I think there is a numeric limit the game has but I haven't tried meme values yet. Thanks again for covering it, the tools will get easier to use in time I promise.

[@AJFails]

PS the only big thing I don't think you mentioned is that, when we have enough texture packs, you can swap the roster between seasons in career or season mode and basically race through time accurately

[@AJFails]

PPS if you want race now to be more competitive you may want to change the season dropdown on the roster tab to Yr3 or Yr4 at least

[@SamMayer-ig6tw]

Bruh will the endless nascar games on this channel ever end... this was 20 years ago

[@Mikey85inNV]

He is obsessed with views so it's unlikely

[@MrMosebysLobby]

you should check out the 07 season ;). Props to AJ for finding this out and the painters for pumping this shit out fast

[@Jeffoutsideback78]

Play something different like f1 or world of outlaws

[@OHIOFARMBOY-kb6fn]

You guys should play the world of outlaws game, best oval racer since the EA games imo. And a new game coming out in September

[@CaseySpecoli]

👍 awesome game

[@JeffThompson-ml9yn]

When the 22 game came out he just ignored all comments about it i wouldn't count on it

[@jimmyspencer-oc3tp]

Probably too hard for him

[@jimmyspencer-oc3tp]

2023 update/version to the WoO game is excellent but i would wait for the new one to come out unless you are on a budget

[@C.JFomme]

He has some problem with dirt racing, when the first game came out the whole community was clamoring for it and he ignored everybody

[@speedhunter7156]

I heard 2005 mod was getting an update as well so maybe we getting this stuff which is awesome i know the guy was working on getting names and stats working because that was a Major hurdle for these tiburon games but seems like actually having free reign of editing has been figured out

[@kevinramsey417]

Wait, what? WHAT???? I can't believe some absolute legend modded Thunder '04.

[@MimNickyu787B]

Dang. I wish I had this for my NASCAR Thunder 2004 career mode.

[@1888Wyatt]

That 48 is facing the wrong way on the right side of the car

[@MoNeenja]

Also Dale Jarrett's UPS scheme is his 2005 scheme

[@AJFails]

One of the 48 cars wasn't ready for release yet by the painter and was in the pack by mistake. Any 2005 paints were part of the pack in general, they will be cleaned up and limited to just the year of the pack in the future.

[@Festivus_Miracle]

Radman, load up the PS2 main menu in the emulator like you would on a real PS2 and change the system to widescreen. In NT2003, it was a selectable option, but for the PS2 version of NT2004 it's controlled by the system itself. It'll make your game look less stretched and run in 16:9 instead of stretched 4:3.

[@DigicamCreeper]

The sleeveless shirt tells me that it's too damn hot to play golf lol

[@alexandredaigle8479]

You can mod this game now??? Cant wait for 2024 mods to happen

[@BarnburnerGaming]

Its been modable for years.

[@AJFails]

@@BarnburnerGaming There's other mods for this? Can you provide some links because I'd love to not redo stuff others have done already.

[@evanwilliams6406]

They need to do this for Thunder 2000.

[@24Zigg]

You better get back to playing NASCAR 08! You can run but you can't hide! 🤣

[@samuelfrederick1782]

Has anyone ever seen the resemblance between realradman and Esteban Ocon also Matt DiBenideto

[@e93sports80]

8:21 oops

[@Nkb1819]

Please do more of this

[@alexanderkeller8593]

Ive been wondering if Thunder 2004 ever received a mod. Now i know

[@brandonramsden]

Please can you play Nascar Team Control 06 it's just a suggestion for a episode

[@BhavanaKarusala]

Can you play the game as Gordon or Jimmie but mod several drivers to have their driver ratings be as high as possible. Battle of titans

[@AJFails]

Not yet but with the tool I'm working on that and so much more will be easily possible.

[@jdcasazza23]

three words, this is awesome. 👏

[@jj9487]

I’ve been waiting for this

[@BanditJustice]

The Kyle Busch 84 car is not actually a Busch car it's a cup car he DNQ'ed a few races in that paint scheme

[@AJFails]

The game treats 'busch' drivers as part time and 'cup' drivers as full time. So the packs set any cup driver who started majority of the races as 'cup' in the game, and the rest as 'busch' to give some of that variety in the race field.

[@TheCloser424]

Mods are awesome.

[@NickGreene55]

Wow thats cool

[@DavidRichterJrmusic]

I wish there was a way to give them the graphics of heat 5 to make it crisp and clear

[@KurtH7842]

New 2004 Career mode series incoming?

[@michaelgualtierijr5434]

I just got this game for the original Xbox and I'm excited to try it out. Does anyone have any tips for the owner mode?

[@DavidRichterJrmusic]

Bro I just started trying to mod but for some reason I can't get them to work

[@Rowdy_2469]

it only pc was so much money

[@NottherealKyleLarson]

Put every driver as one and see what happens

[@AJFails]

It actually doesn't do anything differently. Not sure where the mapping is for 'same car #' when it doesn't let multiples on track. That said though, you can set everyone to legend and go race in season/career and there won't be anyone else on track (or just 1 other car, if the game tries to correct it)

[@NickPhilkill]

Please play something non nascar

[@TmsTyphon]

Say his name and he’ll appear

[@CaseySpecoli]

Why not play new racing games instead of this old gen console stuff... nascar fans stuck in the past

[@nickphilkill818]

This channel is nascar only chud central, on the rare occasions he plays anything different they wont watch and he is obsssessed with view count

[@jimmyspencer-oc3tp]

agree

[@KurtH7842]

The new Nascar games outside of Heat 5 are complete trash. Nascar 04 and 05 are the last actual good Nascar games.

[@Jeffoutsideback78]

​@@KurtH7842plenty of great racing games out there that aren't nascar games

[@KurtH7842]

@@Jeffoutsideback78 Nascar fans were mentioned specifically that's why I was only talking about Nascar games.

[@dcnascarboy0514]

I wish this was available for PS2!

[@The_Gestan]

Some 1 needs to do this for 05

[@The_Gestan]

Or better yet, 06

[@TopatSnake]

There’s a mod out there for NASCAR 2005: Chase For The Cup, but it’s mostly updated paints schemes for the cup series Busch series and Truck series

[@ncm865]

would be nice if the mirror ran at a higher fps

[@AJFails]

there is a 60 fps patch thats optional in the mod but the mirror is very jarring with it enabled

[@ncm865]

@@AJFails thunder 03 is such a more fluid game with mods even tho 04 is more fun

[@AJFails]

I didn't see a reason to mod 03 since it's been done. Wanted to figure out my favorite which is 04. It'll be easier to mod when I finish my tools too

[@coreychildress156]

I need thunder 03 modded for pcsx2 also, not a fan of dolphin
