Heat 5 > Ignition

[@RedneckJesus88]

I don't understand why you are discrediting heat 5 more than ignition when this game is far superior. Also heat 5 graphics are not that bad and bugnition has graphic issues all the time. This game is actually fun to play and it can be even better if you install a couple of mods. Also you say that the physics in heat 5 are horrible which is fair but you can at least hit the cars and ai in heat 5 unlike ignition and don't need traction control to completelaps around ovals. This clearly isn't the best game but is still a decent game that is actually fun

[@gracengragg2730]

Dude thank you . Well said . The fact he sat here saying I don't anything like this career mode blew me away. So you don't want owner mode and more features. You'd rather have 21s glorified season mode with contracts . Yeah it is basic here but it was a good foundation that had plenty of content and replayability. Also just stop with the over reacting of the physics . Jesus . Are they great no their arcady just like the thunder games were

[@AFearlessCoward]

Because he has a contract with Motorsport games and since there’s basically no blocks to build upon from that trash ass game (GrApHiCs R BeTTeR), he has to tear down this game which is far superior in every way for the simple fact it is a working game with working features lmfao who cares about slightly improved graphics if the game is actual shit

[@RedneckJesus88]

@@AFearlessCoward yeah your probably right wonder how much he's making to praise that shitty game

[@corvettezr1ification]

it’s how it goes. if codemasters made nascar games then he’d switch sides and bash ignition since they wouldn’t be making the game anymore. whatif, idk player & windvow would never kiss ass to a company like that….

[@RacingFanForLife824]

Heat 5 is a terrible game. I would take Ignition over it any day of my life. The physics are very bad, there's no features just like Ignition, but at least Ignition got the core of the game right, and when racing with friends online, it's one of the best racing experiences I've ever had. There's really only 1 or 2 game breaking glitches in Ignition, but they don't happen every single time (they shouldn't happen at all though). But what we need to talk about overall is, WHY are Nascar games so bad these days? We have the technology to make great games, but games from 2003 are much better somehow.

[@WhatiFRacing]

i really don't care if 21's graphics are better then Heat 5. heat 5 is actually decent with the AI. Its not to say its amazing but it functioned

[@thomascote9781]

@@_gman_77 Sure, but even then I have to point to chassis/roll bar insufficiencies of the gen6 over the high speeds. Given that we've already seen a next gen flip with the new rules package, I just dont see how the slower speeds change a thing if the next gen cars are supposedly far more safe. I could accept them sticking with the slower speeds for the gen-6, but the original package shouldve been reintroduced for the next gen. Stock cars are still going to flip when you're pack racing, it's a product/risk of the sport.

[@jc1424]

Totally out of the question honestly... Ignition is behind in every category this game excels in.

[@purwantiallan5089]

Yep. NASCAR HEAT 5 is 6.5/10.

[@zorpa9618]

Two things. 1 - Bump Drafting works more when YOU are getting pushed. 2 - I like the rivalry system, not per team, but per driver, it adds stress in the race when you have to avoid some people, but work with others.

[@purwantiallan5089]

Bump drafting worked best when you are in top 10.

[@Left4Coragem]

Heat 5 is like the star wars prequels. At the time we thought they were kinda bad, but after the sequels came out, the earlier product looks better in comparasion. :P

[@kendallsmith7594]

The driving physics aren’t as bad as you made it look because custom setups are a thing You could fix your car snapping at road courses through setups and practice This game is far and away better than nascar 21 because it actually works Stages and points and the AI are functional. Your car doesn’t explode for tapping another driver

[@ILikeRice88924]

Yeah but custom setups shouldn’t make the car feel like it should custom setups should make the car feel how you want

[@kevincantrell1459]

Heat 5 is definitely more solid of a game overall so lately I’ve been doing single races. I just get on ignition 21 to mess around with the booth and design cars I’ll never drive cuz the racing sucks. Heat 5 is less predictable as the AI pit randomly when they should and the lucky dog and free pass all work as they should. I have to disagree with you radman. While heat 5 isn’t perfect either, it’s the better game of the 2 hands down

[@Zeeem99]

Well said! I uninstalled NASCAR 21 about a week after buying it, but I'm still playing Heat 4 & 5.

[@davibe2304]

I think he is in kahoots with ignition or something because nobody else plays that game and thinks it’s remotely better than nascar heat

[@kevincantrell1459]

I mean he has direct connections with them and can freely talk about the game how he chooses. They might want him to shift the conversation to what little good is in the game to help promote the potential for nascar 22 and what could be

[@timmyhillfacts6455]

I agree with you, but it's like comparing Josh Bilicki to Cody Ware. Neither of them are good, but if you limit the choices, then one of them suddenly seems good, even though they really, really aren't.

[@daltonmoon6493]

I feel like no nascar game would be good enough for this guy how do u play on the hardest setting possible and complain that the car is harder to handle

[@darkcrypto_yt]

Nascar 22 just needs: better AI (or at least sub-par Ai) the ability to adjust tire wear and fuel use rates / the ability to have a fuel and tire wear indicator Custom setups A rear view mirror Fixed Scoring Issues A more forgiving and more realistic contact system Custom Season/ Custom Championship mode Driver customization options I know it would take a while to fix all of this, but if MSG miraculously fixed and did all of these things, this game would be legendary.

You literally ask for custom setups in ignition than say you don’t wanna use them in a game that has pretty in depth custom setups. Road courses are pretty good on this game with custom setups.

[@TheLilmanbambam]

It's sad that the small team aka monster games made a better ai than the big team with alot of funding

so i heard that’s because ignition ai is the same as the ai you’d see in road course racing games where all drivers take the same line trying to get the fastest lap times. but obviously everyone doesn’t do that on ovals.

I like having different series, it was a nice learning curve starting with the Dirt Series, then going to Truck and then Xfinity and Cup. The physics feel pretty good on a wheel

[@FuckYouSam]

At least this game has stages and flags that work properly, rear view mirror, custom setups, fuel tires damages indicator, map

Heat 5 may not have close to sim physics but from what I remember it translated really well to my steering wheel. Being able to adjust the FFB was great.

[@danielwest9955]

In hindsight, Heat 5 just needed the polish of presentation. So the visual side of Ignition, but with a good AI, and proper NASCAR rules that the Heat Series had. We threw the baby out with the bathwater.

Heat 5 really isn’t that bad...

[@DavidRagan3134]

I've been playing NASCAR games for a long time, and I still think Heat 4 and 5 are the best console games. The physics aren't the greatest, but you can fix the settings to make fun races at every track. It just takes some fine tuning on your adjustments, but once you find good setting, you can get excellent races.

[@asherhall3819]

I don’t have ignition and am really bad at road courses in heat so I’m glad it’s more physics and less user error

Have to disagree with you . Heat five is a damn good game. First off the difference in graphics is not that drastic on consoles. I'd even say heat five looks better in some regards . Secondly just stop over acting with the physics . It handles like old school nascar games and it's got tons of options to make it handle exactly how you want. Thirdly the career mode wasn't perfect but at least it was feature packed and not a single season mode with contracts like 21. Hell we had owner mode we had multiple series , fantastic ai and a pretty solid online mode. Sure they needed to add features to career like hiring our own drivers and making is pay for repairs to car to make money feel tangible but it was still fiun . Bottom line it worked . All of it worked .

Hi Radman, I totally agree with you about choice of race lengths. I never understood why NASCAR games don't give us more options for race length. 13%, then 25%, then 50%? I just wish they at least would have it set so we could choose 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and so on all the way to 100%.
