    High, I will only say this........

    When I have interviewed any of the development guys, they swear that you can run a good race with a controller. I was also told this for F1 2010 and a wheel was noticeably better though.

    My review copy is for the 360, and I really only play that with a controller, but I will play the PS3 copy with my wheel attached to my desk in my office. So I should be able to let you how one compares to the other as we get closer to retail release. Most likely it will be around the 24th/25th when I will have my review copy bro.

          If you're good enough on the pad you can beat most people on F1 2010, and that's actually a GOOD thing about that game.

          With NASCAR though, and I think due to the nature of the sport, a wheel should prove beneficial, although I'll probably start off on the pad just to see what it's like.

          It's not necessarily whether you can get round the track it's whether you can run in traffic or in a pack without crashing with the pad.

            I can see the back of the car fishing more with a controller. I am willing to bet it will be very twitchy and will most likely loose tire grip on the higher settings.

            I have a G27 but it only makes sense the car will be smoother with a wheel than with a controller.

              EAs NASCAR games were really bad using a controller on the harder levels especially in traffic and IMO that was one of its biggest downfalls... Hopefully this game is realistic but driveable on the sticks.
              What steering wheel do you guys suggest getting for a 360?

                You can notice the "fishtailing" on the latest vid of NTG. He was using a regular controller and you can definitely feel the difference when using one of those especially when you are going into turns 2-3 wide. Would always recommend using a wheel especially when racing NASCAR.

                  Well, while I agree with you, most people do not want to put the time in on the pad to do such a thing. I have a guy I race with all the time, and he uses a pad frequently, and is very good at it. My point is that the majority of people will be better off using a wheel, then a pad............but thats not to say that a pad can't be used successfully

                  The running in traffic is an excellent point. Most people can run around a track with a controller, but lets see people do it with 3 other cars around them, at 180mph....over and over again.

                  When he started fishtailing it really reminded of how NASCAR 08 and 09 reacted when you slipped out of the groove, using a controller.

                    So you want to fix things? FIX THIS!!!!!! Where is the PC version to this game. I am so pissed. I don't have a XBOX, PS3, and I am not going to invest the money for a Wii version that has crappy graphics. I have a force feedback wheel and pedal set that is collecting dust because of what EA did. I just spent almost 300.00 upgrading my pc so I could get this New NASCAR game and now there is not one for PC. How stupid can they be? Some of the so-called genuises who creates these games uses the brains of a jackass. Come on people, think!!!!! I know that a PC version can't be that much more work to produce and just think how much more in profits that would be. Think!!!!!

                      it really woudnt make that much more profit, and maybe you should have researched into it and realized they were not coming out with a PC version.

                        been using a controller until they get the microsoft wheel FFB situation under control, definitely runs better than EAs NASCAR.

                          I'm playing with a controller right now and the only problem I have is smoothly exiting turns, other than that I don't have too have trouble holding a line in straights and entering turns.

                            I run with a controller for the PS3 and I run with my wheel on the Xbox... Right now the controller works better due to the wheel issues the game is going through.

                              whether you have a wheel or stick, what you will need is racing buddies. Otherwise most races the person leading the race will use his buddies to wipe everyone out behind him. Its unbelievable, people are so concerned about having "wins" they will do anything to get it. it ruins the game play. Like their gonna get a contract or something with Nascar for having a padded record. WEAK! So hope you have friends to race with. good luck.
