The only nascar game i managed to place countless hours into & unlocking everything in the game back in the day. And having the races set to 50% of the full amount of laps.
I used to have this on Gamecube back in the day. Found it at a used game store the other day and have been playing it like crazy. I never had as much fun with other Nascar games as I did with this one.
Ahh memories, I remember playing the heck out of this game during my primary school days. Btw on the first race withRyan Newman, there's a strange glitch, if you block him and push him in the wrong way, his car will disappear and the split time will display +999.99.
Man the hours I put in the career mode on this game working my way up from the modifieds on legend difficulty doing 50% race lengths at 14 years old, what a blast that was. I do think the skill points thing was way too easy to accomplish, and the AI were too easy even on legend difficulty, but every other aspect about this game was amazing. Its unreal how bad Nascar games slowly went downhill after this game in my opinion, such a shame, could you imagine if we had this same game with modern graphics, but the AI were tougher than Nascar heat 4 and 5? Would be a hell of a game for sure.
Holy shit!! I played this game religiously and with no memory card you know I put them hours in😂 curious if the new heat games play anything like this or are entertaining
Yea... this would never happen. If u live in mooresville nc where all the drivers live u see them quite a bit. If u make eye contact with them at the grocery store or something they just scurry away like scared cats.
Question: How did you make this run on PCSX2 with all the correct textures? If I play this game, all the cars have no liveries, they all Look black/Invisible and I can't tell who is who. How can I fix this?
Use a GS plugin that has OpenGL, and make sure it's hardware mode, because software mode will make it lag like crazy. Next, set interlacing to blend tff, or the screen will flicker incessantly. Finally, set internal resolution to x8 for a clear picture. This setup works for me in NASCAR 06 (in the latest dev build, at least), so it should work for NASCAR 2005. But I haven't tried it, since I play NASCAR 2005 on Dolphin (therefore, the Gamecube version lacking the tutorials and the filmed portions before the Lightning Challenges because Gamecube disks were too small for all that).
This is the best settings for PCSX2 nightly build: # Manual Hardware Renderer Fixes: Enable # Upscaling Fixes Half Pixel Offset: Normal (Vertex) Round Sprite: Full Merge Sprite: Enable Good luck.
@@xTimelessGaming I've tried changing it with openGL (hardware) but the results haven't changed much. Does the PC specification affect? I use a 1050 T. with 8 GB of RAM
Wow half of those drivers don't even race any more.
Well it was 2004
Only ones left is Kurt, Harvick, and Newman lol

Aww man I remember this! Good times. Been about 15 years more or less since I've played this game.

"Hey, McQueen! Are you alright? Listen, don't you worry, pal. You've got a good run. Enjoy your retirement!"
Bullshit Z česká no
I like that the game uses the 2001 headlight decals instead of the ones used from 2003 through 2005 LOL

I never played nascar 2005 before I think it's a good game
damn. 13 years later, this is still the best most in depth nascar game. What the fuck happened?
EA sport to the game
memories ;-;

He actually said "EA Sports, it's in the game"
I hear exactly the same as Shimada (even if it's wrong)

My dad and I used to play this game all the time holy shit
I think we all know why we are here
Yea for the remastered textures somebody made
Still the best Nascar game they've made. Plz bring back the drafting mechanics from this game
NASCAR 2005 is the third last great EA NASCAR game before it went severely downhill in NASCAR 08.
I tried wall riding in this game after yesterday's legendary move disappointed a didn't get a star power up and passed the whole field
Ahh Nostalgia..

I remember the good old days of me and my dad playing this game constantly. Then him getting mad because I spun him 😂
We are all here for the same reason
My personal favorite NASCAR game.
3:37 the crimson chin
"The Real Wallride Simulator".
- Ross Chastain.
This game's engine sound is better than actual modern nascar 😶
I agree
I remember using the share draft until the driver's name was fully green, then betray them with intimidator. Good times.

Whoa! You really did a Gameplay of it! Nice done!
Thanks mate!
Still represents a challenge to set car up for race.
Nascar 2000, 2003 with jr on the cover and this one were the best
SHUT THE FUCK UP
@@alfaromeo972 bruh the hell is your problem
Damnnnn I remember only playing this game all the time at my grandmas bro I hella miss it
That was not Ryan Newman's voice lol
I enjoyed this one, the truck series and the Busch series if I'm correct, if not forgive me for being wrong!
Did you to change any settings to get it to run smoothly? I have a good CPU and GPU, but it still strobes black like an old TV.
What settings did you use? When I tried this all the cars were transparent
So I’m thinking of getting this or dirt to daytona and I’m wondering are there pit stops in this game?
This game is hard as hell to master the steering.
Busch Brothers, Ryan Newman and Kevin Harvick are the only ones left in this game.
Rip
Ross Chastain had this game but not this PS2 version.
Yea... this would never happen. If u live in mooresville nc where all the drivers live u see them quite a bit. If u make eye contact with them at the grocery store or something they just scurry away like scared cats.
What is the difference between the Gamecube and PS2 versions?
I tried the GameCube version on the Dolphin Emulator and that version runs at 60fps. Occasional stutter, but very playable overall
The PS2 version kinda heavy (CPU)(GPU) coz my PC gt so f***ing hot ... LOL
How hot is hot? On my laptop, the CPU (Core i7 6700HQ) and GPU (GTX 1060) usually top out at about 60-65°C while gaming (mostly BeamNG.drive).
This is the only game that make my GPU reach +70c. lol
Settings? Can't get it to run as smoothly as you do. Would love to play through career mode in this with a wheel.
Last nascar game that had the tide ride
Looks like upgraded version of Ultimate Pro Car race
CHASTAIN
But not this PS2 version, he had for Gamecube.
@Samet Özkan yea I have the gamecube version too
It would have been funny if the guy in the red car said "hello Newman"
The left to right scroll sound effect sounds like a ketchup bottle! 😂

You need to use OpenGL (Hardware) to fix the cars liveries & black/invisible. :P
Ok. How would we be able to do that?

0:03 Yo why did you disable the Autosave feature 😭
Protect memory card
How do you turn on cautions in single race mode for the gamecube? Or can you?
Put it on custom settings
I just got the game for the wii
How did you get this game for the emulator?
Do you still have the download?
the only problem with this game is that it was never put on to pc
A nascar game with Dale Earnhardt 😞
How did you remove the thin line from center of screen ?
This is the best settings for PCSX2 nightly build:
#
Manual Hardware Renderer Fixes: Enable
#
Upscaling Fixes
Half Pixel Offset: Normal (Vertex)
Round Sprite: Full
Merge Sprite: Enable
Good luck.
